Carissa's

Offering some of the Hampton’s highest-quality eats made from hyper locally sourced ingredients, Carissa’s is the bakery plus café from namesake cake whiz Carissa Waechter and business partner Lori Chemla. The duo has nailed the winning combo of a stunning (James Beard Award winning!) white-washed aesthetic upon which elegant, flower adorned cakes pop, alongside a swath of cultishly beloved baked goods like Waechter’s famous Salted Soured Pickled Rye bread. Expect seasonally accented, accessible lunch and breakfast-leaning fare, like a Spicy Kimchi Cheddar Croissant and Seasonal Market Salad with shallot mustard dressing. Note: Carissa’s operates two East Hampton locations; the 221 Pantigo Rd. outlet functions as the larger, main location while 68 Newtown Ln. is more poised for grab and go. A third Sag Harbor outlet is in the works.
