Stopped by this cute little place in Southampton during our drive through the Hamptons, and it perfectly captured that cozy small-town café vibe we were hoping for. The place feels warm, welcoming, and very local -- just the kind of spot you'd want to pause at during a relaxing drive. We tried a few bakery items: the Lemon Loaf was flavorful but a bit on the dry side, the Cheese Danish was decent, and the Chocolate Fudge Brownie was the best of all -- rich and indulgent. We also had Hazelnut Coffee, which was decent and paired well with the pastries. They also had a nice-looking breakfast menu, though we didn't try it. Overall, a pleasant stop with a charming local vibe and good sweet treats. read more

The food at The Golden Pear Cafe was delicious! We ordered chicken milanese over a salad, and it was superb. It also was plenty for two of us to share. Their bottled fresh squeezed orange juice really was fresh. The service was friendly and quick. I would definitely come back. read more

I need to know where you source your tunafish from because I just spent $20 a pound for lunch that if I wasn't so hungry and in such a rush, I would've left it on the counter and not made the purchase, so please tell me you caught the tuna out in Montauk and that it is in some monster tub of tuna fish from restaurant depot... if you can attach a photo and proof it's value and I will gladly delete this review or at least change it because it did taste OK but it tasted like canned tuna and I feel like I got ripped off... a pint of tuna and a large size latte came to almost $32. I get the whole Hampton's tax for the Rich for what a total rip off. read more

Patrons have been enjoying The Golden Pear Cafe's fresh baked goods and custom sandwhiches for years. The dining area inside is a bit cramped and for newcomers the ordering process can be a bit confusing. There's one line for baked goods and another line for ordering prepared foods and salads. When it's busy the lines can get crossed. Outdoor seating is available. The "Southampton" sandwhich which consists of turkey, Brie, tomato, lettuce and a Dijon vinaigrette was light and delicious. Sandwhiches come with a side of coleslaw, pasta salad, or side salad. Sandwich with side salad was $23.00. The extremely small, single bathroom wasn't that clean. read more

This is one of the hottest spots I think in all of the Hamptons. I came here on a holiday Monday at 6:30am and we got there just in time to find a table for three people. I forgot what the other Golden Pears look like in other hamptons, but the Southampton one was on the small side. Get there early if you want to beat lines and if you want to sit down and eat. I got egg and cheese on a coissant. It was good but you deff will be paying alot for it. I mean it is hampton prices. My friends food did take on the slower side to come though. I also got an iced latte with regular milk and it tasted fine. Nothing special. read more

I came here to give a review and honestly I can't believe their score. Must be a lot of haters in Southampton because the food, ambiance, and especially customer service was top tier. They have both indoor and outdoor seating, and a simple and authentic folksy decor that is more established 1987, than 'live laugh love'. The menu had a range of specials and core dishes to select from, including 'mini' versions of their famous oatmeal and breakfast sandwich, which I love because I couldn't decide between the two so I just ordered both! Fresh squeezed OJ and the best latte I had all weekend topped the meal off. Lastly I'd love to shout out Gonzalo who seemed to know every regular by name and treated me like I was a regular, even offering to charge my phone when I mentioned it was about to die. 5 stars +++. I'll be back 1000%. read more

Bethenny talks a lot of smack about The Golden Pear, but honestly I have nothing bad to say about this place (except that like everything in the Hamptons, the prices are wild). Still, the food I had at The Golden Pear was delicious, so if it costs a couple bucks more than it would anywhere else so be it. I came here with a friend and decided to split the chicken salad sandwich along with a small mac and cheese. We also ordered iced coffees, and my friend had to get the giant chocolate chip cookie which I have to admit really did look tempting. It was absolutely jam packed, but these guys have it down to a science and the line moved extremely quickly. We were able to snag a table outside and waited around 15 minutes or so for our order to come out. Everything came out correct, and I was really surprised at how good everything was. The chicken salad was perfectly seasoned and moist, and the mac and cheese had just the right amount of sharpness to it without being overpowering. The cookie tasted as good as it looked (if not better). Ambiance wise it's very much a casual cafe, but it's so fun to look around at what everyone is wearing. Brand names galore, bags that cost more than my monthly rent. A great spot for people watching as well since it's on the corner of a main street in Southampton. Not sure if this cafe is a spot I'd go out of my way to visit, but if you're already in Southampton this is a great lunch option. read more

an old favourite. cant go wrong with the coffee. nice to have breakfast and watch the summer folks traipse by.

stopped in b/c of the charming name - and was pleasantly surprised by the truly excellent food. The shrimp tacos were so good - w/ a ton of shrimp, the Cole slaw the best and even the ice tea was special. will definitely go back. read more

Just got charged $8 for a $4 iced tea. Questioned the cashier, who said the amount was correct. Probably won't be back anytime soon. read more

Great food. Owner, Keith, is a chef. Food is outstanding. This place is much more than a coffee place. Ample seating. Restrooms. Food is always fresh. Diligent staff, once I was choking and supervisor came over to help. Kid friendly. Seating inside and out. Owner , Keith , is very gracious and caring. Talks with customers to see how everything is. Place is always crowded. Been to the Golden Pear locations for decades; they are essential part of the Hamptons. Ambiance is great, everyone is friendly. 5 stars! read more

Came here on vacation and was looking for a warm, inviting cafe. Was caught by the crowd so figured it was worth a try. I was welcomed by the kind people at the register and was surprised at the options. I decided to start with the vegetable & turkey chili and cornbread. It was phenomenal. There's so much flavor and spice. The cornbread was baked to perfection. Definitely going to be coming back for more! read more

Very yummy turkey chili over Spanish rice. Not a ton of seating area but it's fast casual with homemade food

Food was definitely yummy! I got the French toast which was good! However, the food was a little overpriced. I also got a matcha which ended up being a little too powdery read more

I have never wrote a yelp review and have been a member of yelp for maybe 10+ years. This morning my friends and I came into the Hamptons for a weekend vacation and had to work in a coffee shop for a couple of hours prior to our place of stay being available for us. We got to Golden Pair and each ordered a coffee. I got myself a breakfast oatmeal, one of my friends got a side dish, and the other got a full sized meal. The owner came up to us and said "girls, what are we doing here?" to which we were confused and surprised by the question. He continued and said "in my restaurant using my wifi, and taking up my chairs and haven't bought a single item?" to which we replied letting him know that we each (all 3 of us) had ordered a coffee and food and were planning on getting additional pastries if he hadn't made such a rude comment. Very upsetting experience In response to Keith's message, we just checked our receipts and left his cafe an hour and a half after we had paid for our meal (nevertheless we had to wait for our food to come out). Additionally - there were no shortages of tables... At least 4 open for customers, none seemed to be waiting to sit. He also never gave the option to pay or leave.. We chose to leave given the fact that we had each bought a large coffee, and a meal and found his harshness distasteful. read more

We stopped by to pick up coffee, an oatmeal and raisin cookie and some Mac & cheese. Coffee and cookie were fine but the Mac & Cheese had no flavor sadly! read more

I have to get this off my chest, why did you leave Stony Brook?! I loved having the cafe here for the brief time. I was thinking about this particular Southampton location and my daily routine of getting coffee and a muffin before work. One thing about the Golden Pear Cafe, they serve really fresh food. How I miss their soups and wraps for lunch. If you work in Southampton, there are limited places to get coffee. The people working behind the counter were always nice. I looked forward to seeing the different daily coffee brews. The one thing I remember most about this store was the door hook. If you're like me and hate to touch door handles, there is a "hook" above the door handle. I usually grab the hook up to and not touch the door handle. Coffee, muffins, wraps and soups are what make The Golden Pear Cafe memorable. If there's a Hampton in the name of your town, then The Golden Pear Cafe is nearby. read more

Hi I am lee and I went here this morning and sat under a tree. The store was packed and I could not move. But I got a spa wrap and it was delishus so go here in the mornings -Lee read more

had a nice stay a little more cost then expected. but nice people inside. definitely enjoyed the food

Absolutely horrible cappaccino... with no concept of social distancing (this was at the height of the pandemic). All-around bad...

Rude owner, mediocre and way overpriced food! Today my daughter and I had gone for a walk on the beach and decided to grab breakfast at the Golden Pear. We've spent the last 10 summers in Southampton and would not normally choose TGP due to their overpriced, mediocre food but given crowds else where, decided to give it a shot. We both ordered full $20 a plate breakfasts and smoothies as well as a $5 bottle of water for our dog. (Yes, wouldn't give us water for the dog!) We were sitting outside enjoying our smoothies and waiting for the rest of our order with 2 old cups of tea on the table (all white, no logo or name) that we had purchased prior to our walk. The owner came running out and started screaming at us saying coffee cups from other cafes are not allowed and that he pays very high rent at his locations. I tried to explain quickly that they were old and we were waiting for our breakfast and about to throw them out. He waved me off with his hand and went back inside. All the other customers around us were shocked and said they were sorry that happened. We were just pretty stunned. I did go in after we finished our breakfast and calmly explained the facts. When he said..those are the rules and sorry if that offends you, I told him we would not be back. My advice on this one is...skip it! There are much better places to grab over priced mediocre food! read more

I came here for brunch about 2 weeks ago as the end of my friends bachelorette weekend. The place was buzzing and super busy so the low rating confused me. It was a cute small place with a little outdoor seating as well. The fresh self serve coffee options smelled great as well. I ordered the scrambled eggs on a croissant and yes, they were expensive, but that's the Hamptons for ya. I know people complain about the price, but you know that when you're choosing to go here. I like to look at the quality of the food and it was actually pretty good. The portion was large enough and filling and the taste was just fine! The coffee was great too. Yes, it was busy and crowded, yes it's pricey, but other than that I didn't see a problem with this place. read more

Fresh clean food, worth trying. Convenient location and friendly staff. I ate indoors in January, but outdoor seating when weather gets warmer is the way to go! read more

Great pastries and good coffee. Hard to find a seat - a bit overpriced - slow service! read more

Good spot for breakfast/brunch. I ordered my food inside and took it back home. The have a hand sanitizer station when you walk in the door and the space is limited. All of the staff wear mask. One lady working working there, she kept lowering her mask to talk on the phone, which I felt she didn't have to do. Other than that, I would go back! read more

This place has gone down hill over the years. I stopped in today to get a breakfast burrito and latte for a total of $40... the spa burrito was bright green. I'm used to green spinach wraps but this was on another level. The burrito also gave me a horrible stomach bug and made me very nauseous. For those prices the food should be better quality. Additionally service was slow and the employees were very abrupt and rude. read more

I was looking forward to dining here due to the amount of people dining and waiting in line. It looked like a wonderful place. We decided to dine here so asked an employee where we go for seating. He was cleaning off a table and said we can sit there. 5 mins later another female employee comes over to us and asks us if we've ordered food and if we didn't we need to get out as this table is only for people who ordered food. We had no idea that we had to go to the counter and order first as the first employee we encountered told us that we can just sit down. The female employee that interacted us with was so rude and unwelcoming. We immediately decided to go somewhere else to eat. Management should have a discussion with their employees to be a bit nicer to customers. We were confused and if she could've just told us that we need to order at the counter first that would've been nice. read more

Just what I needed on a cold winter day. I was out working in the hamptons and needed some coffee to wake up and maybe a pastry. After finding this spot right in the town I got the house blend coffee and a piece of blue berry crumb cake. The coffee was just good but the blueberry crumb cake was in expectingly delicious. I highly suggest you get the blueberry crumb cake if you are there. Pros: Good coffee Great blueberry crumb cake Cons: Credit card minimum of $10 - this always annoys me read more

Very tight without any organization. A group of my friends stopped in to get some coffee after a workout class in town and walked into an unorganized situation. There were several registers throughout the store but there only seemed to be one working. We were then yelled at when we were not at the register across the restaurant. It was hard to get through because the tables were so close together and we felt bad because we kept bumping into people's chairs. I ordered a tropical iced tea and it was pretty good. But it was a whole other ordeal when a friend and I had to try and find the sugar. It's not hidden but due to the tight space and crowd of people, it was hard to find. There are a bunch of other little cafes in town that are not as crowded so I would try those before coming here. read more

Advertised having a bathroom for customers. Bought an overpriced drink and then was told the bathroom was "broken." They told me to go to the chamber of commerce across the street, which was also closed. Not very helpful, I wish I didn't get the drink. read more

Thanks for responding 6 months later. That sums up what I said about Golden Pair. I remember when it opened and it was good. Now it's just one of few options and leaching off that. At least for the Southampton location. read more

There were 2 bugs (1 dead and 1 alive) in my salmon salad today. Shocked and disgusted.

Love this place! I have been here several times. Coffee is delicious as well as their pastries. Their muffins are very fresh and they have a wide selection of them. I love that they have both oat and almond milk. Service is excellent and they are always packed. read more

Very decent wrap. Nice seating outside. Quick service. Pricey but what do you expect?

Worse cafe experience! The old lady is very crancky and rude, the place is super crowded, loud! We payed 19.50 for 2 croisants and a chai latte. Skip!!! This place read more

ASK KEITH DAVIS: Before you give them a dollar of your money, ask them how they managed to raise capital from "investors". Also ask them about the class action legal settlement made with some investors who never received a penny for their investments and had to litigate. While you are at at it, ask them how they managed to maintain their business for decades while investors were told that their investments were worth nothing as the company has no profits. Ask them how they justify taking seed money from individuals and in over twenty years not returning a dividend, profit or any financial benefit. Ask them how their company can succeed, but the investors are told that there is no profit. read more

I only come to the Hamptons in the summer, so I understand that's the busy season. I also understand that these are small towns trying to keep up with the influx of people like me, who hop the train from the city for a long weekend. But this place was chaotic, overrun by teenagers. The food was okay, and I hate to say this, but not good enough for the price. I am happy to pay silly prices, as long as the food is memorable. My friend ordered the bacon, egg and cheese; it didn't say it came on a seeded roll and she can't eat seeds. You don't have many choices for breakfast so just try to beat the morning rush! read more

Everything is more expensive in the Hampton's, right? So putting price aside, this small cafe was perfect for grabbing a cup of coffee and a breakfast sandwich while strolling around the town. The coffee was good and the breakfast sandwich was satisfying. Nothing exceptional about either. The Golden Pear Cafe seems to be a hot spot and the service was good. However, it was busy when we were there and gave you the feeling of being in the way while waiting for your order. If you are lucky enough to snag a table inside or out, I could envision some good people watching. read more

Yes, it's kind of pricey but the rate shouldn't be about just the price. The orange-apple with ginger they prepared for me was pretty cool. It brought some cooling effect in a hot day like this day we walked in. Hubby's coffee wasn't bad. They have comfortable chairs, so glad to come in and relax. Well, I wouldn't suggest a laptop and stay here for hours. We came here before and thought this coffee corner is better than most in the area. Walk-in and say hello, they're friendly. Enjoy! read more
