Two If By Sea has been a staple of downtown Dartmouth for 15 years, and has taken home the gold for Best Cafe so many times—13 in total—that we had no choice but to make it the first-ever BOH Hall of Fame entrant in the cafe category. (More on that in the New Year.) Chalk it up to the TIBS coffee and croissants—oh, those croissants!—but chalk it up to the people behind the counter, too, says co-owner Josh Nordin.
“We’ve got such a strong team in there between the front-of-house baristas and all of our bakers,” he tells The Coast. “They work so hard.”
