Grindstone Coffee & Donuts

Every once in a while, I'll be out in the East Hampton area for work and I always make it a point to stop here. I usually bring home 4 donuts for my fiance and I to split and heat up in the toaster oven for the following 3 days.
Their donuts are the best, seriously...the freaking best.
If you think you've had the best donuts, but haven't been here yet...you need to make it a point to go to Grindstone, get a churro donut, and then realize you're wrong about your ex-best donut claims.

Grindstone is one of my all time favorite doughnut shops. My go to doughnut is the blueberry jam with lemon poppy seed glaze. The coffee drink selection is also excellent with a variety of flavors including a delicious honey cinnamon latte. If you're passing though the Hamptons do not miss this little gem of a shop!

The coffee was delicious but the donuts were dry and lacked flavor. I would not recommend the donuts.

Favorite coffee/donut place ever since I moved here this year, a little on the pricey side but it's very good quality. I love the staff there and just everything there is so delicious. Not to mention the art on the walls!

Not all that impressed. Donuts are good, but nothing special, and also quite expensive at $3 each. Coffee is very good, but again- at $2.50 for a medium size, surely you can find good coffee elsewhere for less.

The coffee and the donut from Grindstone are delicious! We got the peppermint mocha and honey lavender latte and apple cider donut to pair with the coffee. We ate the donut before remembering to take a picture.😆

UPDATED REVIEW - I have to say I am very glad that I gave this place another shot! Last time I got their matcha latte they were new at making it and it honeslty was not the best. This time around.... WOAH! You can even tell in the pictures I posted with this review how awesome they are! They taste just as good as they look and I was very pleased at the updated recipe/technique in which they make their matcha lattes. No clumps of matcha, not too watery and had it a really genuine flavor! FYI it is not sweetened however so if that's your thing just be sure to add some sugar before you leave. Another cool aspect of this place was that the day that I went a woman was giving tarot card readings in the corner. Definitely stop by here if you are in the area and want to get a great drink while walking around the lovely town of Sag Harbor. Amazing job Grindstone!!

FIRST REVIEW I really wanted to like this place, this is the second time that I have been here. I got my favorite drink the green tea matcha latte. While it was beautifully presented, I cannot say that it was good by any means. The drink was extremely watered down and tasted like it only had water in it rather than milk. The taste of the matcha itself was awful and there were many clumps that I kept swallowing which was not pleasant. Maybe the machine they used was not working properly and gave the wrong proportions for the drink? I don't know, all I can say is that it was not good at all.

The donuts are incredibly fresh and soft. Not greasy at all!

Had to go to Wading River on the north fork, figured let's cut across and stop by, who knows when we'll be heading out that way again. Donuts were amazing, but the young lady behind the counter needs some serious customer service skills. Gave her our order, she walked away, and came back 5 minutes later and asked for our order again. In the process of paying, she starts helping the customer behind us, and just ignores us for the next 10 minutes while she's making coffee drinks. Tempted to ask her to void the order so I could take off the tip, but we let it go, and finally on our way. Mind you, it was not crowded, just us and the couple behind us, at 2 in the afternoon. The donuts lived up to the hype, but I won't be a repeat customer. If I'm handing over my hard earned money, I expect to be treated just a bit better.

Was the best glazed donut I've had. I want to go back and try the others. One of my friends said the coffee was great too. They use reusable bamboo straws... Great idea.
