Aquila is named for the constellation that can be seen above the Cliffs only during July and August, it translates to the eagle, which is why the logo of the shop features an eagle.

Owner Del Araujo, born and raised as part of the Wampanoag Tribe, was beyond excited when the opportunity to open a shop at the Cliffs became a reality. Owning a shop has been a dream of his for years. If you know Del, you can definitely see him behind the counter of his own business. He has the biggest smile and is so enthusiastic about this new endeavor and talking with customers.

In addition to great finds and even some snacks to enjoy while walking around, Del is serving up some of the best coffee on MV! You can get iced or hot Martha’s Vineyard Coffee Company coffee. This small batch coffee, roasted on the Island, is so delicious. You can also purchase the coffee beans so you can enjoy the coffee at home. An interesting fact, Del went to school with Martha’s Vineyard Coffee Company founder, Leif Iverson. Not only does Del like the Leif’s coffee but he appreciates the way the beans are responsibly sourced. For more about Martha’s Vineyard Coffee Company, click here.
