Stopped in here to get a few bakery items and coffee. Everything looks great, but the taste wasn't 100% there. The pistachio chocolate cross ain't had artificial green dye and the taste wasn't great. Got a chocolate slice of some time of bread was a little dry and then also a raspberry almond tart which lacked flavor. Overall the breads looked good next time I will try those. read more

When in East Hampton our first stop is always Carissa's. We all can't wait to get there. The meals, breads, pastries, drinks are all so delectable. It's difficult to choose what to order- so we eat and then take out for later! Some outdoor seating as well. read more

Delicious pastries! Loved the pistachio chocolate croissant - so fresh Staff didn't try to push or make a sale as the display cases were starting to empty since we went towards the end of the day. They weren't super friendly, but also was not rude. Ambiance is clean - white, no seating. We went to eat across the street near the boats read more

The pastries here are divine. My favorite is their raisin snail, I love how flakey it is and has a nice sweet apricot aroma taste on the outside . Their baked miso chocolate chip cookies is an absolute die for as well-Tate's bakery can never! & can we talk about their Chicken banh mi its super savory, has the perfect crunch and a nice kick to it. The bakery is definitely more elevated compared to any bakeries in the Hamptons. I happened to take a glance of the kitchen when I was waiting to use the restroom and saw how serious they are when it comes to cleanliness. It was my second time there and definitely coming back again! I wish they had locations in NYC they would kill it! read more

Carissa has good food and some truly delicious pastries, but unfortunately the service is extremely disappointing. There's a woman who seems to be either the manager or the owner, and her attitude comes across as unfriendly and unwelcoming. A lot of people had warned me about the service here, but I still wanted to give it a chance. Sadly, I had the same experience, and I won't be coming back. It's a shame because the place has so much potential to be a warm, inviting spot, but the lack of hospitality really takes away from it. Unfortunately, I can't recommend it. read more

Charming spot for teatime. Satisfying cappuccinos and lattes. Friendly counter service for their baked goods. Of all that I have tried, well baked are their croissants and tasty are their tarts, however my absolutely favorite is Carissa's out of the ordinary in texture and taste, "Miso Chocolate Chunk Cookie"! CHEERS! read more

This past Sunday, my first time in East Hampton in over 25 years, I went to Carissa's and bought a cup of coffee and their heirloom tomato goat cheese tart, totaling over $70. I wanted only a slice of it with my coffee, but since they said they sold only the whole tart, I bought it and asked them please to cut a slice of it for me to enjoy with my coffee, with the intention of bringing the rest of the tart home to share with my host. "No, we don't do that", was the reply. I was then subjected to a struggle, attempting to cut the tart with one of their flimsy disposable wooden knives. I nearly knocked over my coffee and spilled the tart to the ground in my efforts to cut through the crust. The tart was delicious but the overall experience was so disappointing. Why wouldn't they accommodate such a simple request? The tart was excellent but their service/hospitality was -5. read more

One place I'll definitely visit when I go back to the Hamptons is Carissa's - from the outside to the building and the simple minimalist aesthetic interior, I'm hooked. But first, let's talk pastries. Got the cake, croissants and pistachio croissant. Everything was delightful and oh I wish I were back there. read more

Stunning interior design. We dined and service was decently quick; pastries were available right after ordering, with the only wait being for the coffee and sandwiches. We tried the chocolate croissant, smoked turkey sandwich, and pistachio latte. Chocolate croissant was OK, but our friends absolutely loved the pistachio croissant. Pistachio latte was only OK, but they are probably not known for their coffee beans. However, the smoked turkey sandwich was fantastic. the ciabatta bread was perfectly crisp and crunchy with the nice doughy interior, and the turkey paired so well with the crunchy kohlrabi slaw. The tomatoes were also extremely fresh!! Highly recommend this sandwich, definitely would be on my top sandwich list. read more

Carissa's has good food and delicious pastries, but the service completely ruins the visit. The woman who appears to be the manager or owner demonstrated an unacceptable, hostile attitude. Her approach toward customers felt aggressive, confrontational, and surprisingly predatory rather than welcoming. Looking at other reviews and past comments, it is clear that many other clients have voiced the exact same complaints about this specific manager's behavior. Instead of running a hospitable business, her conduct creates an incredibly unpleasant environment. It's a shame because the place has potential, but her unacceptable behavior and complete lack of customer care make it impossible to support this establishment. I will not be returning. read more

5 stars for the food and coffee, 1 star for the service. We got coffee pastries and the turkey sandwich. They also let us sample the hazelnut brownie. Everything tasted fresh and delicious. The pastries were baked to perfection and the bread for the sandwich was beyond delicious. The only downside of this place was the impatience of the server. We barely approached the counter and she snapped asking what we wanted and got annoyed when we said we didn't know yet since there was no menu out or given to us. She handed us a menu and asked us to move aside. (Keep in mind at the time we were there there were only about three other people there). The entire time we were ordering she looked annoyed and constantly rolled her eyes as if we were a bother to her. For the prices they sell their food and drinks for they could be a little nicer. read more

Totally worth the drive from Montauk. Met friends for lunch. Had the salmon bowl. Crazy good. Great flavor and well prepared. Everyone liked their lunch. Tried some of the treats - shared: Lemon glazed loaf Pistachio croissant Chocolate croissant One better than the next. Had a decaf latte with pistachio milk. Very good. You can't go wrong here. read more

I have gone in a couple of times and ordered quite a bit of food, and a woman came out of nowhere and was extremely rude to me. Tried to get me to sit on an extremely uncomfortable bar seat and was not welcoming at all to say the least I have found the other staff more welcoming, however they are closely watched over by this woman who was extremely rude. I was shocked to read all the other comments when I came on here about her that she is actually the owner!!! well I'm going to do what many other people have done and voiced my opinion with my feet by never going back here again her rudeness really made everything extremely stressful and I'm certainly not going to patronize a business with an owner who treats their customers like that. read more

Delicious breads and focaccia as well as a great selection of artisanal goods, especially the homemade gelato.

"Oh no! What could improve?" Yelp asks. Wow Ok WHERE DO I START? Firstly, I'd like to say that Carissa is a doll. A sweetheart, I love her story. Love her bakery and sandwiches! The Beet Rubin, GENIUS! But, I went in with a friend to order sandwiches and get coffees for a group back at the house. I ordered first then got my latté and waited for her to order. She ran into some old friends sitting at the long community table and sat with them and chatted while perusing her menu. Meanwhile, while I was waiting for sandwiches, I went and looked at the provisions and was going to get my favorite Berry Jam but also needed some good olive oil. While I was deciding which one to get, an evil force appeared in my space. She was literally millimeters away from my face and attempted to physically TAKE the latte I was drinking out of my hands, like physically remove it from my person. I was perplexed and confused. She didn't introduce herself, she just invasively tried to take my drink. I had no idea what was going on, then she told me I was disrupting "her" restaurant with my "to go" latté and that she would put it in a proper cup or something along the lines of that. It made no sense as I was holding a jar of jam in my other hand and obviously shopping for MORE items while waiting for my sandwiches.. Then I come to find out she's a partner. What? And, this is how she treats her customers? What on earth was this woman thinking is beyond me but it was rude and uncalled for and I hope she understands that this is not cool at all and she needs to calm down. She treated me like I was a criminal for holding a to go cup in "her" restaurant while shopping for more stuff . Wtf? I'm sending this because that woman was so out of line and I hope someone lets her know that. read more

Gorgeous pastries--unique seasonal works of art. Excellent breakfast in a casual environment. And great coffee. I was impressed with how quickly the order line moved and how quickly I got my food. Well trained staff. I loved this spot, went 2 days in a row. read more

Excellent brunch at Carissa's, comprised of 3 sandwiches (breakfast, pesto/mozz/zucchini and turkey) + sesame pastry which were all truly delicious. Service was prompt, and an order screw-up was politely and quickly addressed. The small outdoor area amid lush plants made for a charming and relaxing experience. My kind of place read more

Excellent pastries! I love that they change them up as well so I've tried many different things here. Today ordered chocolate croissants, a plain croissant for my sister ("I could eat these all day"), fromage bread (favorite for today) and a pistachio croissant. The pistachio croissant had pistachio cream and chocolate inside. All 5 items cost approximately $26. I find their pastry and bread are well priced and not jacked up for the Hamptons. There wasn't much of a line to order even though the parking lot was packed. My server was friendly enough. Sometimes the staff tend to be a bit unfriendly or rather they just seemed bored/unhappy. read more

Came to Carissa's for a quick lunch and latte one afternoon while visiting the Hamptons, and quickly fell in love with the ambience. The coffee was definitely delicious, and for lunch I got their broccolini sandwich. I LOVED the sandwich. It had roasted broccolini with preserved lemon and aged cheddar. Absolutely delicious. I will say that the kitchen forgot my order so I waited a while, but the server was so apologetic and gave me a treat on the house. I chose a croissant and I have to say it was one of the best I've ever had. So incredibly flaky and buttery. Perfectly laminated. Again, it's pricey here but it's the Hamptons so what do we expect? Highly recommend this spot. read more

Great food but TERRIBLE service. The manager or owner is so obnoxious and constantly is on top of customers rushing them into ordering, sitting, waiting outside, without allowing you to have a moment to decide what you want. The staff unfortunately is the exact same way. They either all have a stick you know where or have been traumatized by management. They can't be bothered to answer any questions about their menu and make YOU feel like the problem. They're also always over charging. I live close bye and frequent this spot often but I've had it and no longer will be coming here. It's not worth it to spend $60+ on a lunch or breakfast for one and leave feeling just bad and frustrated. Do yourself a favor and go to Tutto cafe, Sant Ambroeus or Amber Waves. You'll get just as good food if not better and you will leave feeling better, not worse about yourself. read more

My feelings have never been so hurt, and I've never been so embarrassed in public. I was staying across the street at East Hampton House for a work trip and thought this place looked cute, so I walked in. I ordered a couple of pastries, a coffee, and a bacon, egg & cheese, $45. No problem, it's the Hamptons. There appeared to be a clear restaurant section, but also a large communal table in the front, near where you order. Tons of people were sitting there, so I sat and started eating. A woman -- older, white, blonde, came up and said loudly, "Excuse me, this is not where you should be sitting. You ordered to-go, which means you cannot eat here. We wouldn't have wasted all this plastic if we knew you were staying." I was stunned. I didn't say a word. Everyone around us looked just as shocked. Several people sitting at the table said, "That was so rude," and invited me to scoot in and sit with them as part of their group, which was incredibly kind, but by then I was already shaken. I've truly never been treated like that in my life. I felt publicly scolded and humiliated over... eating a sandwich at a communal table after spending $45. The table was in the main ordering area ,not clearly marked or roped off ,and it absolutely looked like a spot anyone could sit. I don't know if this happened because I'm a gay, ethnic male, I want to give the benefit of the doubt ,but the way I was singled out felt pointed. Whatever the reason, it was despicable. Here's the kicker: I work for a major brand in Amagansett that frequently uses this establishment for events. Not anymore. You've just lost a significant client -- and I'll be making sure my colleagues know exactly why. Never again. read more

LOVE this place. I go there early to avoid the lines, although the lines move fast. The inside is gorgeous and smells like heaven. The croissants and coffee are excellent. The coffee is crack... in the best way possible. Definitely a must go to spot when I am out east. read more

Pastries are nice but owner needs to humble herself ! No class no customer service rude behavior

Very very disappointed. The service is terrible and the owner Carissa is extremely rude.

Came here to grab breakfast before heading back to the city from Montauk. The food itself was good (albeit a bit overpriced but that's the Hamptons for you), but we got it to go and for whatever reason they gave it to us in like an open box which I thought was a little odd. The hostess was also very aggressive with us for no reason, after we had walked in she directed us where to order to go food and then asked us 3 times to switch where we were standing to wait for our food. It was definitely busy when we were there but not so busy that she needed to ask us to stand in different areas, at one point she asked us to sit at the communal table where people were eating and I thought that was especially odd. I'd probably recommend coming here and being seated for your meal! read more

Preordered a chocolate pecan pie. We picked it up today and had it for dessert tonight. It was overdone, it did not taste like chocolate, although it was brown, and it was nothing like any pecan pie I ever had. It wasn't sweet.Not only that, it cost $60. Do not recommend at all. read more

I had take away from Carissa's and am unsure what the exact sandwich was but the ham on baguette was the best ham sandwich EVER. Was it the baguette or the ham or was there butter slathered on? I don't know or care. I just hope to taste it again one day. read more

The setting, the quality, the feel, it all just works! Pastry, coffee, a refined light lunch, nice.

Carissa's is a weekly spot for us throughout the summer. Food is good and consistent - especially the avocado toast (old version, new version not so good) and tacos (albeit small). Coffee and pastries are excellent. That said, the female manager is miserable. She has a snarky attitude every time a child sets foot in the restaurant. She can't help but make a comment that suggests families are unwelcome. We go less now out of principle. Others have echoed this sentiment. read more

Exquisite! Service amazing with delectable baked goods. The baguette was warm when we picked it up

Absolutely beautiful place with prompt service and delicious food. You can taste the love and fresh local produce that goes into each dish. I was going to name one thing but you just have to try something different from the menu each time. All of it is great! Breads are made same day by Carissa I believe. Prices might seem steep but you are paying for quality and hard work. I go back and forth to the Hamptons quite often and always try to make time to stop by here. read more
