From the Founder-
Driven by a relentless perfectionism, I spent over a decade refining my cookie recipes based on real feedback, refusing to settle for "good enough." What started as a fixation at family gatherings grew into an obsession with creating the perfect texture and crunch.
Despite years of family and friends asking, "You're bringing the cookies, right?", I sat on the business idea until the perfect platform appeared on Cape Cod. When the baker at our favorite local spot, Captain's Choice, moved away, it left a void in the community I grew up in. The owners gave me the chance to showcase my treats, and Baked Bellies was born.
Affectionately dubbed "the cookie guy" at my wedding, this venture isn’t about making money. It's about the pride of sharing a recipe perfected over ten years, creating a treat people genuinely look forward to at the moments that matter.

Baking in retirement never tasted so good! 🍷🍪 Huge shoutout to Incubator member Mary Beth Rodman, the founder of Cape Cod Wine Biscuits for her awesome feature in The Cape Cod Chronicle! 🌟
Mary Beth uses our shared commercial kitchen space to craft her signature European-style wine biscuits—the perfect treat for summer gatherings on the Cape. From navigating health permits, obtaining wholesale licenses, to finding a supportive community of fellow food entrepreneurs, we love being the launchpad for local flavor. 🔥
Swipe to read a piece of her story, and make sure to support local by grabbing a package of Cape Cod Wine Biscuits this weekend! 🧑‍🍳👇

The weekend is "officially here", and Cape Cod is buzzing! ☀️🌊
From Osterville to Provincetown, local farmers' markets and summer festivals are ramping up. When you shop small and grab those artisanal treats, fresh pastries, and locally made goodies, there’s chance they were crafted right here in our Hyannis commercial kitchen!
We are so proud of our incredible members who put in the late nights and early mornings at the Cape Cod Culinary Incubator to bring fresh, local flavor to our community. 🧑‍🍳💼

From the Founder-
The Compass Rose began as the idea of a mobile food café serving high-quality coffee and food with a cozy diner vibe. My wife and I, both self-proclaimed food and coffee connoisseurs, decided it was the perfect time to make it happen. I’m teaming up with a longtime friend, also a Cape Cod native, in the hopes that together we can bring this vision to life.

We hope as many people as possible can enjoy our coffee and food. Our coffee beans are special, roasted and levitated by heat to ensure a consistent roast every time. I personally crafted our first blend and hope to add more as the time goes.

I grew up and went through school on the Cape, just like my work partner. I’d love to offer high-quality coffee and food to anyone passing by, whether they’re a local or a traveler looking to enjoy the Cape as it’s meant to be experienced.

The roasting process, our water is local sourced within MA as well as the roaster.

The Compass Rose will be offering a limited number of uniquely crafted coffee drinks each day, available while supplies last.

Born and raised on Cape Cod, I launched Fizzy Potions to create a fun, family-friendly summer business. Drawing from my lifelong restaurant background, we specialize in easy, low-risk, non-alcoholic "dirty sodas" that people of all ages can enjoy.
After a trial run in Florida to smooth out the kinks, we are officially ready for the Cape Cod 2026 summer season! What sets us apart is our unique setup: we vend out of a converted old horse trailer and top our drinks with over-the-top candy garnishes. Surprisingly, we transitioned into this venture after years of owning a real estate brokerage!

Mid-day meeting fueled by the best flaky Jamaican patties on the Cape. Thank you ! 🥟🔥 10/10, no crumbs left.

From The Founder-
Missing the flavors of Jamaica, I founded Backyaad Jerk & Pastry Co. on Cape Cod alongside my husband, Justin, to share my culture’s rich traditions and hospitality. We specialize in authentic, small-batch recipes, including homemade patties, drinks, and jerk dishes.
What started as cooking comfort food for family evolved into a growing local business. Fun fact: the first time I ever made Jamaican patties, we completely sold out! Today, we love connecting with our community through festivals and farmers markets, bringing people together over memorable, flavorful meals that make everyone feel right at home.

🥣 Dreaming about starting a food business but not ready to quit your day job?

You don’t have to.

Many of our makers started exactly where you are—testing recipes at night, producing on weekends, and building a customer base while keeping the security of a full-time job.

At the Cape Cod Culinary Incubator in Hyannis, the Lee Hill shared commercial kitchen gives you access to the licensed space, equipment, and support you need to launch legally and affordably—without the expense of opening your own facility.

Start small. Grow at your pace. Build your food business around your life.
