HOT CHOCOLATE SPARROW

With the love of chocolate and a loan, we started The Chocolate Sparrow, a simple candy shop, in 1989 in North Eastham. Gradually we learned the art of making fine chocolate and the business of selling it. In 1991 we opened a summer shop in Wellfleet. Two years later in Orleans, we opened The Hot Chocolate Sparrow, a cafe complete with coffee from around the world, desserts of every indulgence, and our own hand-dipped chocolates. Here we could offer specialty coffee drinks in a sophisticated but welcoming atmosphere. We have grown into a local institution, open early morning to late night, every day of the year except Christmas. We created a place where people can connect. Our cafe is recognized Cape-wide, our chocolate is sent all over the country, and our coffee, desserts, and fudge have been voted #1 numerous times in various local surveys. No wonder we are recognized as "The Best on the Lower Cape."

WE'RE GOING TO NEED A BIGGER TRUCK!  Giant shark washes up in Orleans?
Tuesday October 15, 2024
    ORLEANS POLICE MEDIA STATEMENT: ?Not one of our typical calls for service. Nor is it one for our local duty tow, Nauset Recovery. But, as always, we answered the call. Unfortunately, this giant was located washed up on the beach, and just as with a 4×4 stuck on the outer, we called Dennis to tow it away. You really never know what kind of call you'll respond to on any given shift. At least Sgt Elliott only needed to follow the tow truck and didn't have to wrestle an unruly Great White.?

KITEBOARDER DIES, TWO POLICE OFFICERS HURT WHILE SWIMMING TO HELP?
Sunday October 13, 2024
EPD PRESS RELEASE: On Saturday, October 12, 2024, at approximately 9:45am, the Eastham Police and Fire Departments responded to First Encounter Beach for a report of an unconscious individual with CPR in progress by bystanders.  On arrival and due to the location of the individual, Eastham Police Officers and Eastham Firefighters entered the water and swam to the victim, taking over CPR from the bystanders.  A paddleboard was utilized to return the victim to shore where he was then transported to Cape Cod Hospital by the Eastham Fire Department.  During the on-scene investigation, it was determined that the victim was kiteboarding at the time of suffering the medical emergency.  The incident was not directly witnessed and therefore it is unclear at this time if the victim suffered a kiteboarding accident or an unrelated medical emergency.  The victim was pronounced deceased at Cape Cod Hospital. As a result of the incident, two Eastham Police Officers were seen at Cape Cod Hospital with symptoms of saltwater inhalation and hypothermia.  One Eastham Police Officer was held overnight for observation.  Both are expected to make full recoveries.  Due to the tragic outcome of this incident and out of respect for the victim's family and friends, the victim's name will not be released at this time.  Please join us in keeping the victim's family your thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.  The Orleans Fire Department assisted at the scene of the incident and the Massachusetts State Police are assisting with the ongoing investigation.  Release Prepared by: Chief Adam Bohannon Eastham Police Department abohannon@eastham-ma.gov
