It truly was a huge community turnout as Hampton Coffee Company opened its newest espresso bar café in Hampton Bays on Saturday, January 25th. The Southampton-based coffee company’s new location is 31 Shinnecock Avenue in Hampton Bays, previously Pete’s Green Door and The Hamlet. This is the local family-owned company’s seventh location and features the same popular menu of drinks and food as its other shops.
“In addition to a full menu of Hot, Iced, and Blended espresso drinks and coffees prepared by our Baristas, we also feature a large offering of bakery items baked each morning in the café,” said Hampton Bays Store Manager Ebens Legros. “Plus a variety of hot breakfast and lunch options from breakfast wraps and the popular egg sandwich choices to panini and wraps for lunch. There’s always rotating breakfast and lunch specials as well!”
The site Hampton Coffee Company renovated for its Hampton Bays outpost was originally Pete’s Green Door, a very popular farmstand, breakfast, and lunch place that was open for years and owned by Pete Charos. Hampton Coffee Company was very proud to team up with Pete to bring HCC to Hampton Bays.
“We have been wanting to open a café in Hampton Bays for more than ten years,” said Jason Belkin, Hampton Coffee Company co-owner. “So many of our customers and team members live here. We were just waiting for the perfect place, and with Pete’s support, we found it!”
Keeping it local is very important to HCC. “Did you know that surveys show that for every $1 spent at a local business, 68-cents of it stays right here in the community?” said Belkin. “Being a part of our community is one of the most important parts of our company’s Mission Statement.” True to the theme, Saturday’s Grand Opening Party raised money for The Friends of The Hampton Bays Library.
The Grand Opening Party also featured free coffee drinks all day, prizes for everyone who came, a photo wall, and lots of fun.
