1. Cookies and cupcakes from Tate's Bake shopAs mentioned in my previous post, the cookies are amazing and but so are their cupcakes. We picked up some for my little nephew's birthday party.
2. Dosa's from the Hampton Chutney Co.
This tiny little shack in Amagansett makes the best Dosa's. They have so many different combo's, everyone leaves happy. Best part is that they are made from Rice flour...and therefore Gluten-free!
3. Scoop du Jour
A favorite of Alec Baldwin's, this family friendly East Hampton hot spot offers delicious ice cream, Crumb's cupcakes and Dreesen's donuts.
4. Lobster Night complements of Stuart'sDirected by a tiny sign off of Rt 27, you can find Stuarts tucked away in Amagansett. Amazingly fresh fish, two of my favorites being lobster and scallops. Every year, my Mom picks up half cooked lobsters, then finishes them off on the grill. We enjoy our meal on the deck to avoid the mess.
5. Bagels (or flagel's) from Goldbergs
Arguably not the best New York bagel, but the best we have found in the Hamptons.
6. Cookies from Levain Bakery
In Wainscott Village, you can find the biggest, gooeyist, most ridiculous cookies I have ever tasted. My personal preference is the chocolate chocolate.7. Pizza from Fiero's
You can fold the thin slice. The oil and cheese drip down to the tip. You burn the roof of your mouth if you eat it too quick. Big burly guys who have been working there forever serve it to you. Found right in the town of East Hampton. No need to say more.
8. Eggs from the Chicken Farm
Eggs so fresh, they are like delicate little flowers. Only downfall is it's hard to make over easy without bursting a yolk.
9. Produce, dips and cakes from Round Swamp
This place has the best everything. And they know it...so stack up your gold bricks prior to shopping.
10. A Cafe Cortado from Jack'sJust opened this summer. The staff is a little flustered, but the coffee was delish.
This is great news Tates cookies GLUTEN FREE! See what happens when you look away for one second. My lover and I are away in WV for the summer (maybe longer it is nice here). He is not from the Hamptons and was gluten free when we met, so the lose of Tates red velvet cupcakes and/or cookies with coffee on a chilly morning walk with the dog on the beach was of little consequence to him-- but to me it was life altering.There are few things as wonderful as the Hamptons, fewer still than the East End beaches, and I would argue nothing is more wonderful than a stroll down Flying Point beach, early in the morning with my awesome dog, a cup of coffee and a Tates CC/Mac cookie! Thanks for the insight I look forward to having my Tates and eating it too!
ReplyDeletePS Why no mention of Wild Thyme? That place is great. The chef and owner are awesome people and the food is clean, local, healthy (farm to table) and delicious!! If you have not been yet, give it try next year you will be very glad you did!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tip! I haven't heard of Wild Thyme. I hope you enjoyed your summer away at the beach
