What's Brewing Blog -Hampton Coffee News & Events

It’s time for Hampton Coffee Company to start re-opening our neighborhood cafés!  Our Water Mill, Westhampton Beach, Southampton, Aquebogue and Montauk cafés are all re-opened.  We feel good about the decision we made to close our stores so early on.  All of our almost 70 staff members were able to stay home taking care of their families and helping to flatten the curve.  We are so happy to report that all of them stayed healthy.

Hampton Coffee Company turns 25 this year!  Our local family-owned coffee company became one of the first Third Wave coffee roasteries on the East Coast when we opened our first espresso bar & café and roastery in an abandoned service station on the side of Montauk Highway in Water Mill back in 1994 -more than a quarter century ago.  Over those next 25 years, Hampton Coffee Company beat the odds to become an iconic part of The Hamptons landscape with 4 cafes throughout the East End, a new larger roastery, and Mobile Espresso Unit van.

Our coffee roasting team traveled to The Coffee Triangle in the heart of Colombia recently to make a first-hand connection with the farmers that we buy our Direct Trade Coffee from.

Hampton Coffee Company has become the first business on the East End to upgrade our septic system to a new nitrogen-reducing Innovative and Alternative Onsite Wastewater Treatment Systems (I/A OWTS).  Already environmental leaders in the community, we made the upgrade at our 24-year-old flagship location on Montauk Highway in Water Mill with the help of a grant being offered by the Town of Southampton and a loan from BNB Bank.

When mega-businessman and host of the hit CNBC show “The Profit” calls, you answer.  And although Marcus Lemonis already owns a coffee roasting company on the West Coast and in Chicago, for his latest partnership with Corey’s NYC Bagel Deli, he wanted authentic New York roasted coffee to complement their famous bagels and spreads.  Already a Fan of Hampton Coffee Company for several years now, his first call was to their local family-owned Coffee Roastery in Southampton.
