    The entrance to the self service store.

    I knew of Mecox Bay Dairy from the Montauk farmers market where I had bought extraordinarily flavorful filet mignon and cheese from them a few years ago. I was so happy to see them this weekend at the Southhampton Art show and bought some more meat and cheese. Then I read the Yelp reviews talking about the Milk .. WOW! I had made cheeseburgers from the chopped meat and they were so tasty we just had to go get some more. The fresh raw milk is off the charts delicious. Definitely worth the trip and the extra $$ for this unbelievably fresh and yummy product! Your friends and family will ask "Where did you get this, it's so good?!"

    I went here on a Saturday afternoon- January 12, 2019 about 4:15pm. This is a long drive from the boroughs, but it is well worth it. I would like to mention that you can very well drive past the farm and not know it! The sign that says Mecox Farm is a bit faded and it is very small. Therefore, trust your GPS when it say "you have arrived!" You drive down the drive way and then park where you see a suitable place. Once you exit your vehicle, look for the store that is a few steps away from where you can park. Store: The store is tiny! The store is self serve and open 24 hours. I had thought it would be much bigger and more interactive. Once you walk in the store you will see fridges with the raw milk, cheese, and meat products. You will also see the vault of cheeses that are aging- drool worthy! You pay for your purchases via a computer system for credit card purchases. If you pay via cash speak to Art Ludlow (the owner) about how you pay using cash. Milk: The milk is $16 a gallon and half a gallon is $8. This is way more than what you usually pay for milk, but it is well worth it. The milk is delicious!! I'm a bargain shopper, but there are some things in life that you can't go cheap on- raw milk is one of them. You are supporting the farm, the workers and all that goes into producing the milk. If you actually do the calculations of how much it costs to produce raw milk, you will see that the cost is appropriate. Cheese: The cheese also has sticker shock but it is compared to what other raw milk costs. I purchased the Sigit and the Sunrise cheeses. One cheese was about $12 and the other was $14. The Sunrise is really good, it reminds me of cracker barrel sharp cheddar- that is not an insult- I love cracker barrel. The Sigit is a bit mild for me but I like pungent cheeses. Eggs: Eggs are subject to if the chicken are in the mood to lay eggs. Since it was January we were lucky to get a dozen eggs ($9) because they tend to lay eggs less when it is cold. The eggs will surprise you if you have never seen eggs fresh from the farm. The eggs are not all white or brown- we have some that are greenish blue. They aren't all the same size but they are all delicious. Liver: The liver is very fresh and there is a good amount of liver in the package. I found this to be very cheap- $3.68. There was not too much selection at the time I went because Art explained that they take the cows and pigs to slaughter periodically. Therefore, whatever you get is out of a small batch and when it is gone it is gone until the next time the animals go to slaughter. Overall: I can't wait to come back and purchase more items.

This is just based on my extremely superficial knowledge of medieval architecture and people, which is all to say that this little shop has old timey charm. They manage to pack a whole lot of products into one small store, with shelves filled with jams, chocolate, crackers, accoutrements, and of course many refrigerators filled with cheese. I came in wanting a sampling of cheese with different flavor profiles, and the woman behind the counter was extremely helpful suggesting cheese made with different types of milk, with various textures and made sure I wasn't picking cheeses that were too similar to one another, which I really appreciated. I also got some rosemary crackers and a baguette to eat with the cheese. Every cheese I got was absolutely fantastic, maybe some of the best cheese I've ever tried. I'm having a hard time recalling the names of the cheeses but put your trust into the hands of the woman at the shop and she will not lead you astray. It left a lasting impression on me.

    Cavaniola's Gourmet Cheese Shop - This one was so moldy at first glance.  Since some cheeses have mold, I thought I'd taste it.  It was so rancid and stung my mouth.

And I can say that was the best crab cake I've ever had in my life. And I'm from Maryland. You can tell my influencer level photo skills leave a lot to be desired but trust me it was phenomenal. Plus our 6 month old will officially be able to say her first real food will be from L&F. And she seemed to love that. My sister goes on the regular and everything she gets from there is great. So hopefully they have fixed the staffing issues by sending them to etiquette classes. But if you're going to try the food u don't think you'll be disappointed.

Everyone always gripe about their pricing, but everyone still uses them, lol. I guess Loaves and Fishes should thank their friend, Ina Garten (the Barefoot Contessa) for publicizing it as one of her favorite places in the Hamptons. It's definitely expensive, but so are most other places in Sagaponack, and the surrounding area. I've had a wide variety of their food at gatherings. Top notch and always really fresh. However, I must say that the in-store selection is pretty limited. I get that the store itself is small, yet cute, but just know that the food options are fairly minimal. For our first visit, we got some typical picnic foods (fried chicken, cold deli salads, etc.). We also got a very small portion of their lobster salad. I've always liked it, and just wanted a small taste. I say small because it went for something like $75/pound. I've been told that it can go for $100/pound. For me, that's ridiculous. There's no high end caviar on it or anything, lol. Honestly, I've had my go-to spot for lobster salad here, and this place is NOT it. I've always loved their desserts. Like every single thing I've ever tried. But, at the store, I got a slice of meringue cake that they just brought out, and it was THE BEST!! Omg, it reminds me of meringue cakes I've had in Europe, but could never find as good in the States. I'd be willing to pay anything for THIS. Haha. On our first visit, customer service was great. On our second visit, the employee (an older woman) was really unpleasant. She didn't even want me taking pictures of the store (not of her). Strange.

Every lunch I've had there is mediocre, but in this case it was a little less than mediocre. The sandwich was incredibly dry, needed sauce, dressing, mayo, something. Instead they buttered the bread??? Who butters a lunch sandwich. The lettuce and tomato at least provided some (albeit limited) moisture. Pasta salad was fine.

My insides sang such happy songs while I devoured my panini. So much so that after leaving the Cafe I said to myself that I still have my discount from post wedding registry I ordered a panini maker off of Williams Sonoma. That's how damn good the panini was. The coleslaw was meh but the standout was the panini. So much so I've already made a mental note depending what time I leave Montauk after my annual work trip I may stop in here. I don't care if I sit by myself because it was that good. Golden Pear you can count on me coming back for more!
