Hands down the best coffee in East Hampton. Little out of the way from the main st but not an issue. Donuts are hand crafted and very tasty, not overly sweet.

I was visiting East Hampton and kept hearing about Grindstone Coffee & Donuts, so I had to check it out. The donuts were some of the best I have ever had, soft, fresh, and full of flavor. I also grabbed a coffee and it was just what I needed to keep exploring the town. The place has a really welcoming vibe and the staff were super friendly. As a visitor, this felt like one of those must-stop spots that makes the trip even better.

Went early on a Sunday like 8am. Hardly a line, 1 person ahead of us. Service was friendly by both workers. We got an iced black coffee and an iced peanut butter mocha, 1 of each special donuts and 6 of the minis. We were buying for 8 adults so we did get more than expected. The only reason I gave 4 stars is because of the price. Almost $100 which for the Hampton’s I guess is normal, but for me, that’s insane. The donuts were good and fresh and the coffee was good, coming from a coffee hater who just wanted to try it. I didn’t hate the peanut butter mocha. I think we’d come back for just the 2 next time.

Cute local coffee spot that serves local coffee and has merch: shirts, hoodies, hats coffee beans, tea. I recommend trying: • Maple Latte • Peanut Butter Mocha There's free street parking and a tiny parking lot.
