They also have the best pumpkin spice latte that I have ever had and that is saying a lot since I am not a PSL fan.
Matcha, Matcha, Matcha! This establishment has delicious matcha. I love my matcha over ice and so does Mr. K we are somewhat matcha connoisseurs we get a matcha everywhere we go.

The Inn at Five Points |

My stay at this beautiful old victorian turned B&B was phenomenal. It is located on a corner lot close to everything the surrounding area has to offer. The host was very personable even with a non contact stay during covid. I woke up each day to a goodie bag filled with fresh baked goods and fruit.

Best Food Spots in the Hamptons
Springs General Store | 29 Old Stone Hwy, East Hampton, NY 11937
Everything is delicious and made fresh to order! This is definitely where the locals go to grab breakfast & lunch, not to mention they have the most reasonably priced menu in the Hamptons. SGS also has a lot of gluten free options which was great for me. I recommend starting with the watermelon gazpacho, have the salmon protein bowl or mozzarella grilled cheese as your main then end your meal with one of their gluten free brownies, if you normally eat gluten free grab a few, the consistence is that of an actual brownie that you used to eat growing up, no dry cardboard brownies here!
Reservations needed: No
23 Ditch Plains Rd, Montauk, NY 11954, | Ditch Plains Beach 2nd Parking lot (End of Otis Rd)
Fair warning Mr.. K and I waited 40 mins just to place our order, but this is the best food truck EVER. The wait was worth it, get the tuna poke or Thai wrap. You will not be disappointed.
Reservations needed: No, but get ready to wait!
The atmosphere here is very romantic, I recommend the outdoor dinning and going with your s/o or a group of girl friends for a classy night out. Food wise I recommend to start with the burrata and choose a pasta dish for your main. I had the ravioli filled with 3 cheeses and broccoli rabe, it was delicious.
Reservations needed: Yes!
