Carissa's the Bakery - Amagansett

I love Carissa's bread and the outdoor garden at this location is lovely for a brunch time gathering. Glad there are a few vegan options but would love to see some vegan pastries and the otherwise vegan sandwiches to be made with a different bread than milk bread (they won't substitute which is frustrating). That being said the grain bowl was delicious and the avocado toast without cheese is always very tasty. Good coffee and plant-milk options too!

Absolutely delicious spot for freshly baked bread, croissants etc. Wonderful staff, and very sheik clean vibes. I had the shakshuka because it looked appetizing in the photos…

Amazing bakery and desserts. Staff are friendly and chill. Love this place. They messed up our order but made it up to us. Highly recommend!

We had an extremely uncomfortable experience due to the manager/owner (a thin woman who appeared to be running the floor). Her behavior toward both customers and staff was unsettling. I ordered a meal for in-house dining with chicken salad to go, after being pushed between nonexistent labeled dine in vs dine out counters. The worker gave me the to-go item while I was checking out at the counter, when I got to the "communal table" and the manager saw my cup of chicken salad (unopened) she visibly freaked out over it — even though I never intended to eat it at the table. And honestly, even if I had, it’s unclear why that would warrant such a reaction? Also note, chicken salad wasn’t on the "eat in" menu, so if this was a plating issue (she mentioned no paper products are to be on the table, odd for a casual eatery) it didn’t hold merit for such a response. What made this worse was watching her inappropriately yell at the employee who handed me the item. The interaction felt hostile and unnecessary. Our entire party felt uncomfortable, and we genuinely felt bad for the workers, who seemed anxious and under constant pressure from this woman. The overall atmosphere felt tense and unwelcoming, like staff were being ruled by fear rather than supported. It completely took away from the dining experience. It’s a shame because the interior design was beautiful, the food was great, and the actual staff (sans the manager woman) were very pleasant. I can’t come back here based off the intense negative energy she spread across our experience. Normally I do not review establishments, however I would be remiss to not warn other patrons of this distasteful experience.

Obviously a very beautiful modern place with gorgeous aesthetics. It’s a bit confusing going inside for the first time however. The staff was nice especially the gentleman who took my bakery order. A bag of coffee, baguette, roast beef sandwich, chocolate croissant, brownie, pistachio croissant, chicken salad and matcha latte came out to $110- expensive but I guess not too far off from pricing around there. The food I have to say, is very yummy. The sandwiches are amazing, but they're a little too acid heavy and VERY mustard forward. If you don't like mustard, you probably will not like their sandwiches.

I like the food here and the servers are nice and attentive. However the management and customer service is terrible; always very rude and elitist about seating. I ordered $30 of food from the kitchen and my boyfriend ordered $20 of food from the bakery and we were told we could not sit at a table because "both of us needed to order food from the kitchen." It is the end of December so the seating area was completely empty. The girl with the bun and freckles has a horrible attitude - when we walked in she was yelling publicly at her coworkers about the arrangements of the pastries. She was the one who told us that we could not sit. Definitely ruined the entire experience as we couldn’t enjoy our $50+ worth of food in the empty restaurant. Truly horrible people: avoid this girl and her manager, an older woman who also works there. Not sure what motivates them to be so rude for absolutely no reason; there is no logic to the strict and elitist treatment of paying and polite customers.

Update after owner's reply: We were group of 4 people, not 20 people. You may mistake us with other mistreated customers. I am fully aware of food price and environment in Hampton, and I have visited other restaurants in the area. You definitely have Hampton attitude, but food and service is not up to standard. ------- It was nightmare customer service we have experienced. They were busy when we arrived. The server at the door told us to go inside register and order for dine in. While we were walking in, an older lady with glasses (manager/owner ?) yelled at us and told us to go back outside and wait on the other line. She may had a bad day, but she was definitely nasty and full of attitude. It finally sorted it out after she talked to server at the door. I felt bad for the server after hearing their conversation, she yelled at the server for entire two minutes in front of a big crowd. After we got the food, it was a dispointment. Portion was small for both food and drink, definitely over price for what they charge. The bread for roasted beef sandwiches was very tough, my teeth hurt so much that I can't finish the other half. I hope the management can see this and improve customer service. Nobody deserves what we experienced.
