The Best Coffee Shops in the Hamptons (2026)

Quick answer: In Montauk, my top coffee pick is Left Hand for the iced Nutella latte; Duryea’s is the waterfront stop and Mostrador is the seasonal hotel café. Jack’s is the Amagansett staple, Hampton Chutney is now the East Hampton pick, Hampton Coffee is the reliable Water Mill stop, and Sagtown is the Sag Harbor favorite.

I’ve kept my original must-orders and updated the practical details against each shop’s official site in October 2026. Hamptons businesses can be highly seasonal, so use the links below to confirm current hours before driving over.

Duryea’s Market + Café (Montauk)

Tucked behind Duryea’s Lobster Deck, this under-the-radar market and café is one of Montauk’s best-kept secrets for a quiet morning coffee. Set on the water, it’s a beautiful place to sip a cappuccino and grab a croissant before the crowds roll in. The market is seasonal, so confirm its current days and hours before you go.

A cute café tucked away in downtown Montauk, Bambi’s has become a go-to for locals and in-the-know visitors. The vibe is warm and cozy, with great coffee, house-baked pastries, and a welcoming setup that makes you want to linger. Try the Moroccan Mint Tea or their Famous Egg Sammy – you won’t regret it.

Mostrador at Marram (Montauk)

Located inside the Marram resort, Mostrador blends Latin American flavors with beachy Montauk energy. They offer a curated coffee menu, plus baked goods and fresh juices. It’s quiet, tucked away, and one of the most aesthetic coffee experiences out east. Mostrador is seasonal, so check Marram’s dining page before visiting.

• Location: 146 Montauk Hwy, Amagansett, NY 11930

• Must Order: Teddy Boy, Mountie, Happy Jack

• Why Visit: Classic Hamptons coffee experience with cult-favorite drinks

Jack’s is a staple for a reason. Their drinks are cozy, flavorful, and consistent. Don’t miss the Teddy Boy—espresso, sugar, and cream, shaken over ice—and the honey cinnamon latte called the Happy Jack.

Hampton Coffee Company (Water Mill) – Quick + Classic Hamptons Coffee

• Location: 869 Montauk Hwy, Water Mill, NY 11976

Hampton Chutney Company (East Hampton)

• Location: 107 Newtown Ln, East Hampton, NY 11937
• Must Order: Iced Cardamom Latte
• Why Visit: Great spot to grab lunch before heading to the beach!

I love stopping at Hampton Chutney Company for something quick and delicious. Their cardamom latte is a personal favorite, and their dosas are a perfect savory breakfast you can bring to the beach. The restaurant has moved from Amagansett Square to East Hampton.

Sagtown Coffee (Sag Harbor) – Great Coffee in the Heart of Sag

• Location: 78 Main St, Sag Harbor, NY 11963

Sag Harbor is one of my favorite places to start a slow morning, and Sagtown is the perfect first stop. It’s buzzy but calm, with great drinks and plenty of baked goods. Pro tip: Grab a donut from Grindstone next door—trust me.

Where to Find Dreamy Coffee in Sag Harbor

• Location: Available through current Sag Harbor retail partners; check before visiting
• Must Order: Coconut Cold Brew
• Why Visit: A locally rooted coffee brand with Sag Harbor retail partners

Dreamy Coffee Co. says its former Main Street store has closed, so this is no longer a standalone café stop. Dreamy products are still listed through current retail partners, including Sylvester & Co. Modern General at 103 Main Street; availability can vary. My original must-order was the Coconut Cold Brew.
