Artful pastries, signature sandwiches, and breads from starter
"Carissa’s makes some of the best baked goods and bread in the Hamptons, which makes it a great spot for lunch. The large East Hampton location looks like a cool person’s home in Oslo, and the extensive outdoor area is peaceful and so well-attended, you’ll never be without the fennel-infused tap water. The salads and bowls are fine, but the signature sandwiches—like a jambon beurre with sliced cornichons for crunch—are what make this place special. Carissa’s original bakery, in a parking lot behind Newtown Lane, is a convenient spot to pick up a sandwich in town. A third location in Sag Harbor also offers sandwiches, bowls, and baked goods." - Melissa Kravitz Hoeffner
"A bakery in Easthampton, New York listed as a semifinalist in the Outstanding Bakery category." - Emma Orlow
"This bakery shows up on Ina’s Instagram more than any other Hamptons locale, so we’d say it’s absolutely one of her favorites. She’s a devotee of the croissants, which appear on her brunch tablescapes, and she’s posted about the “perfect” gazpacho from Carissa’s. The Pantigo Road location is the only Carissa’s with seating, so if you’re looking to spot Ina herself, it’s most likely at this Carissa’s. Visit early before the famous jambon beurre sandwich with cornichons sells out or opt for a luxe lobster roll on a homemade brioche bun." - Melissa Kravitz Hoeffner
"Carissa’s makes some of the best baked goods and bread in the Hamptons, which makes it a great spot for lunch. The large location looks like a cool person’s home in Oslo, and also has a more extensive menu that includes a bunch of salads and bowls. The original space, in a parking lot behind Newtown Lane, is a convenient spot to pick up a sandwich in town. It’s also the best place to get a coffee in East Hampton." - melissa kravitz hoeffner, team infatuation
"An East Hampton bakery whose owner was privately congratulated for winning the inaugural Outstanding Design award in the new "Alternative Eating and Drinking Places" category; the notification came amid broader confusion after the awarding body initially said it would not present Restaurant and Chef Awards, told design winners they could share the news in their own PR, then later publicly posted the honorees by tweet. The episode underscored questions about the decision to proceed with design honors while cancelling other awards during a pandemic and amid concerns about nominee withdrawals and systemic bias." - Elazar Sontag
