Health Care

Urgent Care centers are the first go-to unless you have a true emergency.
If you go to their website they update wait times. I was there once and was pleased.

Casual Restaurants & Cafes

From pizza slices to home baked goods, south of the border style meals.
Friendly owner and help have made this place thrive as it's changed over the years. Great homemade breakfast and lunch specials, baked goods, healthy snack bars, books, seating in and out on their covered porch. The lines usually move fast.

This is the best all-around go-to place in Woods Hole for groceries, newspapers, soups, salads, sandwiches made to order pizza, flip-flops, batteries, even garden seeds plus the usual sodas, iced teas and flavored waters. I love their outdoor seating, especially (shhh) their upstairs covered deck that overlooks the Eel Pond.

Such a calm and tended place that public can roam at specified daytime hours, down to a dock where there's a collection of large painted anchors that always makes me feel I'm in a surrealistic painting.
