Food & Wine / Salons / Laundry

Recommend Windfall Market for your provisions. This smaller grocery store is located near Falmouth Harbor and offers a quality selection of fresh meats, fish, deli, cheeses, fresh bread and baked goods, and wine. Pricier than the big grocery stores but you'll find and like what you need. I'm a fan of their stuffed quahogs! http://www.windfallmarket.com/. Open Monday - Saturday, 8 am - 8 pm, Sunday, 8 am - 7 pm. (508) 548-0099.
