Murdick’s Cafe, Perfecting the Classics
On the Vineyard, the name “Murdick’s” calls to mind the mouth-watering, buttery confectionery found in the island’s favorite fudge shop. The business famous for its treats—fudge, brittle, popcorn, and more—has been in operation on the Vineyard for decades. Murdick’s is well-known for its adventurous recipes like Cape Cod Cranberry, and the shop is second to none when it comes to perfecting the art of food production and customer service. It only makes sense that the sister business, Murdick’s Cafe, displays the same attentiveness to excellence. Business owner Mike McCourt opened the cafe in 2011, in a space previously rented to Old Stone Bakery and Gourmet Bakery in Edgartown. He spoke with This Week on MV about his business, emphasizing the company’s commitment to quality customer service.
