Literally the grossest coffee ever. Was so excited to try it, got the large "happy jack" so bland and watery with cinnamon floating in it. Had to add so much sugar to make it even remotely tasteful. My boyfriend got the stella, his was watery and no taste either. I don't know what the hype is with this place but you're better off going to the starbucks down the street in east hampton. read more

Jack's Stir Brew Coffee - Disgusting happy jack on left and bland stella on right - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Amagansett, New York

You cannot predict what kind of service you will get, sometimes the staff is friendly and welcoming, but the days after they can be rude with attitude. The Coffee is good, not cheap (5 clams a soy latte), they have good breakfast pastries and vegan cookies. They have only few seats available. The decor is cool. I just like this place because I am not giving money to Starbucks. Would be much better with the right staff. read more

The service was exceptional and the wait was a little long but I didn't have to wait too long for my coffee. The place was filled with some of the rude locals. I got an iced latte with honey and cinnamon and it was delicious but it was still average. Noting wrong with this coffee shop but it's nothing special. read more

What happened? Jacks had the BEST coffee around worth the larger price, it was that good! Yesterday I received what I would say was the worst cup of coffee of the summer. Either they changed the formula or the staff is not servicing the machines properly. Coffee was bitter dense and unpleasant tasting. Pluses: Jacks is the decor very clever well done, nice merchandising. Negative: staff not familiar with prices of items in store... Different quotes for same item. This happened on a few occasions. Sadly if old coffee does not return I won't either. read more

Just got a Egg & Cheese sandwich with a Chai Tea Latte from Jacks. Simply AWESOME. Even better, I had got the sandwich for 3$ from a promotional text they have. As an aside while enjoying my order, one woman complained about the promotional text for sandwich as being "weird."As perplexed as I was, the staff handled such a weird complaint like true professionals. Calming atmosphere, awesome coffee, and terrific staff!!! Love JACKS read more

Love Jack's! Great food, great coffee, and friendly staff that will take care of you. Thanks Jack's!

This place is cute, it has a great presence. When you walk in, you feel like you are in a cool place. The food, clothing, drinks all give the cafe a story and that's pretty neat. I take off a star because obviously there is something special about the stir brew method, and I am assuming that is why the prices are slightly higher for coffee. But when I asked the staff, they explained stir brew as a method that makes the coffee taste better and that was all they could say. They couldn't really explain the process and to me that makes this place less authentic. read more

I spent $7.50 for two cups of coffee but was rudely denied access to the restroom. I was told the restroom which is readily accessible in the restaurant was for staff only. If you don't mind doing business with such people the coffee is quite good. I however will pass on this place from now on. read more

Jack's Stir Brew Coffee - Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Amagansett, New York

In addition to being an ice-cream snob, I am most definitely a coffee snob. As I try to ween myself off of Starbucks (I'd rather support smaller businesses), I am trying lots of coffee houses around the east end of Long Island. I was invited to a meeting here with a local client, so I showed up and took in the delicious aroma of fresh ground coffee as I awaited her arrival. After ordering a mocha latte, I waited by browsing the fun knick knacks of their distinctive decor: framed gorgeous men in various blue-collar worker shots, lots of American flags, a little shop selling t-shirts and messenger bags. Plus the wifi is FREE. My mocha arrived and it had a gorgeous image of a leaf designed into the steamed milk. It was so pretty, but I dove in. I am not exaggerating when I say that this was the MOST DELICIOUS CUP OF COFFEE I HAVE EVER HAD. No. Really. I went back determined to find out how they made this perfect cup o'joe, and I saw the barista steaming the milk - chocolate milk!!! MMMMMMM Brilliant, simple and delicious! Haven't been back to Starbucks since... read more

I never thought I would write a review about a coffee house that competes with a local favorite (Mary's), but I reallllly like this place! The decor and general feeling when you walk in is more relaxed and casual. The somewhat haphazard pictures on the wall are a bit odd, but I guess the place was put together in three days so I'm glad they spent their time getting their freezers and espresso machines working instead of worrying about the collage. There is definitely a feeling of "Free Trade" & granola-living here. The unfinished wood, the chalkboard paint on the fridge, the dreadlocks behind the counter... It's not your Starbucks by any means, and I mean that in the most positive way possible. First off - the coffee has been terrific so far. Granted all I have gotten (5x) is the Dirty Harry and a few cookies, but it's been consistent and surprisingly good for just soy milk (or regular, depending on what they've run out of) and espresso. I know, it sounds hard to eff up, but you'd be surprised. Pros: Open until 7pm **UPDATE: summer only - now it's 7-5 :( ** Use local and/or regional products Good coffee that you can buy by the pound, too Friendly More alternative (less Hampton-y) than the alternatives Ciao Bella Italian Ices (!) Cons: Staff still learning the ropes They run out of stuff (these are growing pains and should be temporary...) **UPDATE: It was indeed temporary...** They charge the same price if you bring your own mug... Bad karma - order something "venti" while on your cell phone Good Karma - Fair trade espresso in a short cup and tip well. The good coffee, good cookies and pleasant staff make for a good experience. Go there soon before they all get jaded and hateful... **UPDATE: I recommend a macchiato in a small cup, the Apple Jack for the cold fall/winter days (hot apple cider with your choice of hot tea), or the Dirty Harry (Soymilk, espresso, squirt of vanilla, but go light on the vanilla..) or the always helpful and delicious double shot...** Since it's been almost six months, I can't honestly say I have tried much of their food. It's is expensive and pre-packaged. Not my favorite combination. I would agree that there are better choices around for food at roughly the same prices. The new Jacks will be opening soon in the barn next door, and there are rumors of a kitchen, so we shall see what the future holds... the cookies are still awesome though. read more

I ordered a decaf iced coffee. Girl behind counter put in cream and sugar. I took a sip. I said, "Oh my god, this is good." I took another sip. "Oh my god, this is really good." I finished the whole thing in minutes. It was so damn good. Rich, brown, nutty, not a hint of that sour decaf thing. It's not easy to make decaf taste this good. But they DID it. Only Philz Coffee's iced decaf tastes this good to me. Plus, she'd put in the perfect amount of cream and sugar. I was all excited to be back on the East Coast so I could have Dunkin' Donuts iced coffee, but after this, Dunkin' Donuts just... failed. Also this place has really delicious-looking baked goods, and an amazing selection of drinkable yogurts and other bevvies in the chiller. Wish I could have tried those, too! Nice, airy, high ceilings, summery feel. Pleasant place to be. Kind of place you dream about in the deep of winter when you miss summer and ceiling fans and iced coffee. I took off one star just because they weren't the friendliest counter staff. A bit aloof and businesslike and arm's-lengthy, rather than warm and friendly. read more

Jack's was completely underwhelming. The wait was long for no reason. The price for the amount of food is absurd. The coffee I received after an extended wait tasted like hot water. Zero flavor for a $8 coffee. I do not recommend visiting. read more

Update: though I still personally dislike their actual coffee drinks, their service has been consistently much friendlier. Phew.

The coffee is unbeatable. Period. It's the best around. I don't know what he puts in there, but damn, it is good. I'm also a big fan of this place because it's one of the first fair trade places around. Jack clearly makes an effort to stock it with local stuff, which definitely errs on the expensive side, but that's sort of to be expected. The coffee is rather pricey as well ($3.75 for their small-sized cappuccino), but again - I'd rather pay more and know that I'm getting a quality product that actually supported the farmers who helped grow the beans, than cheaper fare of dubious origin. All in all, a staple of Amagansett. I personally adore taking my coffee outside and enjoying it in the nearby gazebo in the Square. read more

Read all the reviews and so many complaints about service. It's a holiday weekend Saturday morning and the line moved quickly, they were super patient with questions (looking for a flat white alternative and they just offered up a flat white), coffee and food up promptly. No complaints. Coming back tomorrow. Nice coffee and espresso. Heaps of food choices. read more

They had just opened. The coffee is the star here. Had never been to the Jack's in Manhattan before. Liked it enough to go every morning. I was told that they are moving right next door to a bigger location. I think given some Air Condiditoning, better baked goods and the crew getting in the groove Jack's will be a long successful staple in Amagansette. read more

Extremely rude and aloof staff. The woman taking my order was shouting and pushy, and clearly was not listening as she totally screwed up my order. Rather than fixing my drink and apologizing they charged me for a new one! Floored....I don't get the hype. Will not be back. read more

The coffee is very good. They use a blend of different origin coffee beans, including that blend for their espresso as well. The problem with this company, is not their product, but the way they treat their employees. They are dishonest and discriminate. If you think this is a company you want to support, at least you know what is not important as an organization. read more

You know what, fuck this place, they sell food, they sell coffee, they "don't have a public restroom". Fuck. This. Place. Ok, maybe that's not all that matters, maybe it's not....but as I ponder and edit my review I realize it's a deal breaker for me. It's not Manhattan, they have a bathroom, they just choose to not let you use it. read more

Should have listened to the reviews here. Long line, egg sandwich can only come on a biscuit which is smaller than the egg itself. I got a bagel with cream cheese, seemingly safe choice. Should be ashamed to call it a NY bagel and had hardly any cream cheese. Do yourself a favor and listen to these reviews. $25 for a bagel, biscuit sandwich and 2 small coffees. read more

Delicious mocha. Dark chocolate. Unique. Cooll T-shirts. Local gold mine for sure. Right on Main St. Amagansett. Nice break after a great day at Art South Hampton. read more

Jack's Stir Brew Coffee - Live at Jack's! Get it while it is hot! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Amagansett, New York

Keep driving. This Starbucks knock off can't even make basic coffee for a premium. Oh yeah, they turn away pregnant women who asked to use the bathroom. Don't waste your time. I waited for 15 for the wrong order read more

Who runs a coffee shop without a bathroom? The one bathroom they have is staff only. After I politely asked to use it (after I bought a coffee) and mentioned that the public washroom was unusable I was told I couldn't use theirs. One of the girls working there thought it was helpful advice to tell me about a public washroom that was going to be built- not sure how that helped me at the time. People drink coffee people need washrooms , found this to be very ridiculous. read more

A friend suggested we go here for coffee. Terrible service and poor attitude, employee slammed cappuccino down on the counter spilling it over the side, then let us clean it up. They clearly had a bathroom but told a pregnant woman in our party to walk down the street to the gas station. Coffee wasn't that good. Pass read more

I've read the other reviews and I'm sure you can get good service here. That being said I've had terrible service. If you intend on being a upscale coffee co. you need the staff to be up to the standard. They are rude, make mistakes and then give attitude when you ask for it to be corrected. Take your money elsewhere. read more

I used to love Jack's cappuccinos but the last three visits have absolutely been awful. What a waste of money. Over $15 for a small black coffee, large cappuccino, which by the way, does NOT have any more coffee, just more milk than a small, and a chocolate croissant. The cappuccino was NOT the creamy dream of the past but rather a water down, careless, tasteless mess. The chocolate croissant barely had any chocolate and was stale. On top of the gross food products served, the service was extremely rude. If this was a one-off occasion, I'd say "ok, it's a fluke" but three times in a row and I won't be back. Jack, get your rude, sloppy employees back on track. Your place of business is out of control. read more

There are so few serious coffee houses out here on the east end of the south fork, and Jack's deserves more than the average 3+ stars it seems to have garnered here on Yelp. Don't let the negative reviews sway you. If you're in need of a solidly good espresso drink, this is your spot. Don't go to Starbucks. Please. read more

Six flavors of ice cream but one isn't actually available. Restroom is for employees and the only customers allowed to use it are the ones who are pregnant, in the employees' judgment. Servers are also rude. Ice cream is good. read more

Was underwhelmed with this experience. First off everyone on line had a puss on their face and the staff was not accommodating or nice but made you feel like you should be privileged to get a cup of coffee here. I placed an order for four drinks: two cappuccinos, one caramel latte and a cup of regular coffee. $19.76!! I was shocked. Anyway-the girl handed me four cups with no lids and placed them in front of me on the counter-I was by myself, what was I supposed to do with that?! When I asked her for tops and a tray she gave me a death look-And took her sweet time to get the tray and tops, with not one spoken word, she didn't even put the tops on but left me to do it and disappeared. The only reason I didn't give this disappointing experience one star was because my cappuccino was really good. Too bad everything else was crappy. read more

Before you complain about there being no toilet, read: http://www.wsj.com/articles/in-tony-hamptons-community-plans-for-potties-get-flushed-1430093549 while you drink your coffee or tea. In a nutshell: service is poor and slow, coffee has been served scalding hot, prices are high. read more

What is it about the Hamptons??? OK, don't answer - obvious question. But even by Hamptons' standards this place is rude, rude, rude. And I thought Amagansett was supposed to be the isle of mellow in the heart of the scene! So here's the scoop: coffee is indeed tasty though, as noted by others, way overpriced, even by area standards. Other products not always so great - bought my five year old a Ronnybrook chocolate milk that he gagged on after the first sip - completely sour. Yes, they exchanged it but they were a bit sniffy: so take a sip then girlfriend, and tell me if you'd want to drink it?? But more to the point, every time I'm in the place there is some kind of problem, and you have to wait forever and a day to first place, and then receive your order from the exceptionally inefficient staffers. The whole thing is very aggravating, not least because there is really a dearth of decent coffee places out East and we had high hopes for this one, but since we go out there to relax .... read more

The coffee was good, but the breakfast food is literally disgusting. While they advertise "poached organic egg" on their menu, it was a hockey puck of a microwaved egg on a post frozen sprouted muffin with an old poor quality piece of cheddar. On top of that, the people who work there treat you as if they are doing you a favor. Do yourself a favor and go to Mary's Marvelous; there you will also be treated like crap, but at least the food will be good. read more

Great coffee, probably my favorite local place in the Hampton's. Only complaint is the attitude of the employees. After being interrupted and snapped at while ordering, the woman behind the counter today asked why we didn't tip her and then got our order wrong. Yep, that's why! read more

Overpriced trash. The poached egg sandwich was a plastic egg in a dry, unbuttered English muffin. The ice cream cost a small fortune and I had to fight the lady behind the counter for the chocolate sauce. read more

Very good coffee and friendly keen staff. Nice kids well trained and nicely mannered. Pricey but its a short season. If Ralph Lauren designed a coffee shop this would be it. read more

If it doesn't have a price tag, it's at 2x what you'd expect. $17 for some probiotic cashews? Coffee is just ok. Flies and gnats in the pastry case-- lots of them. read more

great service and really good coffee! no complaints here:) my friend got the "Dirty Harry" which is a vanilla latte. He really liked it! I got an iced macadamia latte which was really good!! read more

I love it here! Surprised by the reviews. Coffee is great. Baked good are great. I LOVE their bagels. Lots of healthy (and unhealthy) options. read more

Love Jack's Coffee. So much care into the ambience as well as beans. This location and the NYC ones!!

Went here as a last stop for coffee before heading home west, I asked for a chai latte with a shot of espresso and almond milk. When I received it, it was scolding hot so 30 minutes into the drive home do I realize they made it completely wrong. Staff was probably the least friendly group I've ever seen and all together over priced for what I got. I could've went to Starbucks for a correctly made drink and it would've cost less, and I'm not even and sbux fan. I'd pass on this place next time I'm in the area. read more
