Came to this cafe on my first day in the Hamptons! Service was quick. I was looking for just a plain iced coffee with a little milk. The milk is self- serve. The coffee was good, but a little on the acidic side. Cute seating outside! Next time i want to return to try a sandwich or wrap. read more

Golden Pear Cafe - Specialty Food Near Me - East Hampton, New York

Beefsteak slice paninis usually have beef/steak involved. Zero meat, and a it's not like it's a vegan place. Completely misleading description. And this was 38 dollars for a tea and what is effectively a side salad in a piece of bread. I complained about it and she looked at me and laughed, then explained that beef steak slice just refers to the way they cut the tomato. What a joke. They're at 2.6 stars at the time of this review and I can see why. Hope it goes lower read more

Spoke to a friend of mine today about her interactions at the Golden Pear. It's consistent, people have been telling me to avoid this please because of the level of unprofessionalism from the staff and the owner. He is too busy with himself and inflating his ego he doesn't care about gaining, quality, customer service or saying inappropriate unprofessional things in the cafe while a line of people over hear it. read more

I have been to golden pear numerous times but always opting for iced coffee or a tea. They are consistently good (big fan of the cold brew). This time we decided to try a sandwich. Opted for the sag harbor (chicken salad on ciabatta and cold slaw). It was good but nothing too remarkable. I have heard that the wraps are good though so will be trying something along the lines of that eventually. Also to note on the pricier side for what they are serving but nothing surprising out east. read more

Everything in this place looks incredibly Fresh! Service is super friendly and quick! read more

10/10 for the egg sandwiches. So delicious and filling. We split them between 4 people because they were so big. The bacon was crispy just how we like it. I would prefer a sausage patty over chorizo but it was very good. Employees were nice and you can't beat sitting outside people watching. Definitely will be back! read more

Tasty, fresh breakfast but a bit overpriced even for the hamptons. $25 for french toast with fruit in a take out atmosphere seemed a bit much. Instead I opted for the $18 spa breakfast burrito with egg whites and steamed veggies. Was fresh, though the burrito fell apart because there was about a half cup of water that came from the streamed veggies. read more

Golden Pear Cafe - #8 - Spa Breakfast Burrito - Specialty Food Near Me - East Hampton, New York

Even though it is costly, I love Golden Pear. Their oatmeal is amazing and they have the nicest people working there, too.

$6.00 for a muffin that tasted like cardboard isn't for me. Won't go back. The staff was very friendly. The place is very small and dingy.

$6 for a small iced coffee?! Yikes! And that's without the surcharge for using a credit card

Meh. Honestly I didn't understand what all the hubbub is about. This was a place I wanted to check out as it came highly recommended. The menu is ridiculously expensive. $17 for a breakfast sandwich and over $20 for oatmeal? I guess it is East Hampton. The coffees smelled good though I didn't have any. Sitting outside was difficult because we kept getting accosted by bees. Would not return. read more

We ordered some fresh juices at Golden Pear, which were excellent. It's a little confusing when you go in the shop, since it's not clear where you should line up. Other than that, service was friendly and quick. Their baked goods look terrific, especially the chocolate chip cookie. read more

CONS: For the EXTREME price you pay for everything here, East Hampton, the tables should match and certainly at least be attractive. The baked goods look gorgeous, but mostly do not taste gorgeous. The apple turnover has no apple. The huge $5 muffins are dry. Ditto on the scones. The coffees are all acidic, not a fan. If you simply want one egg and croissant, no cheese, you will be charged the full $18+ for 2 eggs w cheese. Eggs r good (but cage free, not free range, an important distinction) Beware, as of this review, the website pricing is not up to date. If you call or click on "order on line", you will then get the correct pricing. Lastly, if you want to be charged correctly or get your order, best to speak to the seasoned pros not the kids behind the counter(except Anthony who rocks!) PROS: Cheerful ambience. They have a Quinoa bagel that Is quite tasty and very few else offer. Multi grain rolls r good. Delish turkey chili and the BEST Mac and cheese around. read more

Go if you want plastic or paper in your food. I had 2 negative back-to-back experiences here. When I reached out for a refund, the manager Keith was extremely rude (see screenshot) then blocked me. Never received the refund initially promised. Never going again. Update: this is the first negative Yelp review I've ever written, I'm not a Yelp whiner, and Keith's response further proves his lack of professionalism. read more

Overpriced even for the hamptons. You've got better options. $23 "fresh" juice $17 bacon egg and cheese Servers are fine, doing their job. Entire restaurant is due for a major renovation, it is not up to par with anything in the surrounding area, and for a $40 lunch that isn't full service you should at least be in a nice comfortable space. Highly recommend to steer clear read more

Service is terrible here. After ordering a sandwich to go and waiting outside for twenty minutes (I had told the person I rang it up with that I was going to be outside since the cafe was crowded per COVID concerns), I checked back in and flustered staff couldnt find the sandwich. No offers to make a new one, just searching and looking confused and repeatedly asking what I had ordered. I showed the receipt (more on that below) and they confirmed that what I had been saying was correct. I asked for my money back and they seemed exasperated at having to refund me. The other annoying thing was the 3% surcharge for using credit card. When I been pointed out that the receipt I had been given didn't break down the fee and the cost of the food, the response was that everyone in East Hampton is doing this. Illegal consumer violations are not justified by complicity of others. Very disappointed. read more

Day old bag they sell for 5 bucks with various items in it is actually 3 or 4 days old because it honestly everything in it tastes like S$%^....I mean WTF?? I am reading owner is a bully etc.....I wish I ran into them I will make sure they understand this review. read more

Love the off season at this place. Great breakfasts and yummy lunch. Very expensive though

This restaurant is super shady. They charged my card more than what was was listed on my receipt! Anyway, we saw a bunch of people outside eating from this place as well as lining up inside to order so we thought it must be good? Should have checked yelp to begin with. I ordered a simple peppermint mocha latte and the lady at the cashier had such a hard time trying to understand. What I ended up getting...I don't even know what it was. It didn't even taste like peppermint and it was overly sweet. Zero coffee taste. I'm not one to throw things out since it's wasteful, but I literally had to throw it out as soon as I got back to our apt. read more

Decent place to stop for an iced coffee in East Hampton. But the people that work here are complete morons. I do not usually rip on the staff of an establishment, because it is often a shit job with annoying customers, but these tards were just so slow, confused, and at times nasty. Also the people here can be a bit rude. I was snapped at by some stupid cu...I mean bi...I mean woman that was too busy yelling at her kids and missed her place in line. When I went to order my coffee, she jumped over me and said she was first. I backed away and just smiled at this dummy in disgust. But yeah, good coffee. read more

Picked up 8 muffins (aprox. $5.00 each) that were stale and hard as a rock. When I went to bring them back and show them, they told me to leave. Staff and management were so nasty. Don't waste your time with this establishment, even the the coffee was horrible and expensive! read more

Honestly never been more dissatisfied and disappointed than when I spend 24 dollars on a egg sandwich on a croissant a small coffee and 2 pieces of non ripe cantaloupe. Golden pear is highly overrated and way to expensive. read more

Rude employees just not a great vibe whatsoever. I asked the girl if i could get a small coffee but in a large cup because i wanted extra room for creamer and ice to put in at home, she gave me such attitude and said no we dont do that, you cant fill up a large cup to the small line? Starbucks does it i mean what? U can get whatever size in another cup size they dont care whatsoever. Why do u? Two ham egg and cheese croissants and a small coffee was $38! I summer in the hamptons every year im used to crazy prices but thats bullshit. Never again is all i can say. OH on top of all that, there were SOOOOO many people jam packed on top of one another that saturday morning. I felt very unsafe. They dont give a shit about corona virus or taking safety precautions, they just want money. read more

Just the East Hampton Facts.... Ordered two "Southhampton" sandwiches. True roasted turkey with brie, honey mustard, tomatoes. The sandwiches are neatly prepared and good. No two sandwiches are worth $36.... ...none... read more

Slow service, overpriced and disorganized. Looking at the recent reviews, apparently the waitstaff are also blatantly disrespectful on their receipt descriptions. I ordered an oatmeal for around ~$6 which turned out to be a pile of tasteless oats that took forever to be prepared. Others in my party waited forever for their food, with one person's quiche going completely forgotten until we had to remind one of the employees. People will probably still come here since it's close to the station and if they need a quick bite (it definitely won't be quick), but I would avoid at all costs. read more

Not impressed. I had heard a lot about the Golden Pear Cafe and was looking forward to trying it. I ordered a sandwich, a small portion of one of their salads and a drink. The price was over $30 and it was 100% not worth it. Everything was ok, but nothing spectacular and definitely not worth the price. I found the service to be just ok as well. The ladies behind the counter seemed preoccupied. Also, I found it frustrating and odd that they don't answer their phones. I left my wallet at the restaurant by accident and called the restaurant to ask them to put it aside for me. The phone goes straight to a voicemail. I called several times and it seems like they don't want their staff answering the phones. Bottom line- there are a lot of better places to eat in the Hamptons. read more

Really cute cafe in Southampton. Good mix of healthy/not healthy options - I got the ultimate breakfast burrito (all day breakfast!) and it was good, almost too much food. Everyone else liked their food as well. Bathrooms are for customers. They let us sit outside past 5, their closing, which was nice too. Highly recommend! read more

Been coming here for 10 years plus and it hasn't changed much. Food is good, not great, amazing muffins/pastries. I have ordered the same thing multiple times and it is always a different price depending on who rings you up. You will never receive an itemized receipt and it seems as if whoever rings you up decides what you will pay that day, and their prices are absurd to begin with! In the summer, the lines are chaotic and filled with hungry and confused customers. If you want just coffee why should you have to wait on the long food line? Insanely unorganized. read more

this place is a joke. the cold brew which can only be described as mediocre was $6, $6! the grilled chicken sandwich was dry and not worth the $18-$20 . The service is abysmal. I don't know how this business is still open. I guess it's a tourist trap or the locals just accept it. read more

http://blog.angryasianman.com/2015/08/asian-customer-referred-to-as-chino-on.html?m=1 Not cool. I guess every people of different race should double check their receipt to see how they're described. read more

The food is as disgusting as the people here. I ordered a tiny tinker portion of the chicken salad and paid $10 for what was basically a basin of sour cream. Nothing is labeled so you don't know if you're ordering a side of garbage or a side of sh*t. The staff is thorny because they've been waiting on NYC shrews from Middle Earth for eternity. And the food may be organic because it actually tastes like its fresh from Frodo's garden. Everytime I enter the place I want to scream. They should rename the place the Rotten Fruit. read more

THE WORST SERVICE! My boyfriend and I went to grab a quick bite last Saturday morning and this place was a dismal. It took 30 minutes to get a Spa burrito! The cafe was indeed busy but the employees were disorganized and unprepared for the rush, which is surprising given that EH does a majority of its business in the summer. They didn't take the individual's name associated with the order and shouted out random names of the breakfast items ordered to no one in particular. People were annoyed by the poor service and disorganization. We expressed our frustration and employees didn't seem to care and there was no one in charge. This place sucks. read more

The Golden Pear fits the bill as an upscale vacation town gourmet sandwich shop quite well. Full of small town charm, and expensive sandwiches, this is a good spot to grab some food before a day on the beach or a walk through one of the nearby state parks. The service is prompt and food is quite good, but be prepared to pay up. The people ahead of me shelled out $55+ for four people....for takeout. I spent about $27 for me and my wife...jeez. They do have some small tables with chairs to sit and eat, but I could not sit there fuming about what we paid for lunch. But, that is par for the course in the Hamptons, I guess. read more

I always end up stopping in here when visiting the hamptons. They are one of the rare places that offers hazelnut iced coffee and they even have hazelnut coffee mate at the milk station! It has that cheap coffee taste in the best way if that makes sense. They also have tropical iced tea! They have solid flagels but I can't really speak to the prepared food. It looks mildly appetizing at best- maybe a step above a bodega. I think they could do way better. There's nothing special about this place- the service, decor, fare- its all meh. For such a high end area there's a real lack of decent quick casual cafes. That being said there's nothing terrible about this place either. 3 stars. read more

As full disclosures, I have been a regular on weekends for breakfast for many years.I go exclusively to the East Hampton location.Christina is a great manager and the staff is very friendly and competent. It's hard to argue that they have the best coffee in the Hamptons. I normally get the egg sandwich or one of their muffins. The people watching isn't bad either. read more

Awesome to hop in and out to pick up breakfast or lunch on your way in or out of town. They have a great array of muffins and croissants as well as a menu of breakfast burritos, omeletes, sandwiches etc. I truly enjoyed my Spa Breakfast Burrito and my friend with-child slurped up their Ultimate Burrito pretty darned quick. I would check back in and order more stuff if I were to get the chance. Nothing fancy, but quick, affordable, good food. read more

GOOD FOOD & COZY I ordered the soup and was very satisfied. It's an upscale area so that is what you should expect as far as pricing goes. There is a negative: You have to sort of be picked when trying to place an order. Stupid system. It's a tiny place so it's hard to form a line, but the picking a random customer system creates disharmony. They should work out a number or ticket system. My rating is more based on the food than the ordering system. read more

My friends and I used to sit in the window and see if we could get people to wave at us. There isn't really much else to do in EH if you don't want to be wasted all the time or can't afford to pay the really high movie and bowling prices. The Golden Pear has an excellent selection of baked goods (which you can find on sale in the basket near the fridge), soups, sandwiches, even hot homey dishes like chili or meatloaf. Situated right in town, Golden Pear is convenient to both parking lots and any spot you may find on the street (sometimes you can get lucky over in front of the middle school, it's just a couple blocks. Even if during the summer, you may want to stamp on the feet of the people in front of ane behind you, the employees are always SO NICE- tip them well! Like Raquel said, it winds down in the off season, so you may want wait to avoid the lines and try the amaaazing pumpkin muffins in the fall. read more
