Ye Olde Bake Shoppe

We have visited this bake shop twice now as part of our February visits to Southampton… it’s located in walking distance of all the Main Street shops and attractions and offers an old school charm. It’s a small shop with everyone available on display in the glass displays. The selection seems to vary depending on when you go but it’s always been fresh and delicious. We have tried cupcakes, cookies, brownies, and eclairs and enjoyed them all! They seem to always have lots of muffins and donuts for breakfast items. Definitely worth a visit if your sweet tooth strikes when in town!
It is cash only so plan accordingly!

Lovely little gem of a bake shop. Everything we had was outstanding but the coffee cake was the best! The hours are a bit different then you would expect. on Sunday they opened sometime around 818am. So worth the trip there — great food and really nice neighborhood spot. Cash only!

This place is a gem! Coffee is Not the best. Everything else is amazeballz!!! The croissants are better in the winter (not kidding). Wonderful owners and staff:) Banana bread to die for. Open at 9 most days. CASH OR LOCAL CHECK ONLY get an iPhone and credit card reader for the love of God! Old school my friends

This place is incredible! Everything I have ever eaten was excellent. Every week I get my bread, and recently I tired the cornbread and it blew my mind. Now I am extremely torn every time I get bread. The whole wheat is the best ever, the ryes are the best around and the corn bread the aren’t words. I always get my Christmas cookies here as they are surpassed my none. It a little tricky to catch them open, but if your learn the schedule the reward is worth it.

Excellent bakery. It’s been a long time since I’ve been able to visit, but I miss each of the delicious pastries I’ve tried there.

So not too long ago, I was freeloadin… er, staying with a friend nearby. One of the other houseguests went to Ye Olde Bake Shoppe every single morning, and bought at least one box full of pastries for everyone to enjoy for breakfast.
Now, normal human beings would just be thankful that this nice dude was providing delicious, DELICIOUS pastries for everyone. A wonderful gesture, really. I just want to say, «Fuck you, man.»
I don’t even LIKE pastries. But I have this condition (officially diagnosed) called fatboyitis, which renders me unable to resist any food that is sitting in front of my fat face. And that goes double for incredible apple turnovers, strawberry danishes, boston crème doughnuts, and especially the cinnamon buns.
I quite literally gained five pounds while staying at this house. I weighed myself when I left, and weighed myself when I got back. Five pounds. Fuck you, man.
But seriously, thanks. Those are some good pastries.

Ye Olde Bake Shoppe was quite a surprise. I was expecting overpriced, mediocre sweets in a town all about hiking up costs. So, I was pleasantly surprised when I walked in and, a) it was deserted (literally no one inside except the employees) and b) I saw HUGE linzer cookies, one of my favs. I bought all my friends a cookie each and shockingly enough, the total came out to less than $ 10.00. I was expecting some ridiculous cost, but that wasn’t the case. The cookie was great-​nice and powdery on the outside, soft and doughy on the inside. And the raspberry jam-​YUM! One thing I don’t like is when linzer cookies are made with anything but raspberry; I mean, it’s the best one to use. They were baked almost perfectly. My one thing is that the décor is pretty plain, but I guess that’s the point right? The staff was pretty accommodating, and it’s unfortunate they are outside of town because they definitely deserve more attention.

If you’re looking for treats from an authentic, old-​school style bakery, the most secret, hidden place is De Olde Bake Shoppe on Windmill Lane. Although it’s not as glamourous or popular as Tate’s, it won’t be crowded, you’ll have a nice variety of sugary treats that you just can’t find anywhere else. The bread is the most freshly baked loaf you will find in the Hamptons. Sadly though, their beverage options leave something to be desired. But if you’re in the area, you must stop in, their cinnamon buns and cinnamon coookies are my absolute favorite!

This place was really delicious, but I think I came on a little strong to the cashier subsequently freaking him out. Okay, let’s call a spade a spade here, I came there with my friend and she was trolling for [item redacted], so I pulled her aside and recommend that she ask the cashier. He was very willing to help and went in and asked the kitchen staff. (What a classist, am I right? Just because they’re bakers suddenly they know where to get [item redacted]???)
Anyway, he gave us some free cookies that ROCKED, but I’m pretty sure we scared him.

Luv Ye Olde Bake Shoppe!
especially the little things. like the appearance of rustic country bakery items. the quiet off season absence of a person at the counter. having to go around back to get someone outside by the side. so cool… where do you get that kind of country charm in a cool place like out here.
Yes the bakery stuff is yum! I will make a point of snapping a few pics sometime soon.

The highlight to our 4^th annual weekend trip to Southampton. They make their own donuts and great array of morning pastries and goodies! The lady ahead of me took the last 4 cherry turnovers, [ummm, remember when the person after you asks if you have any more of that item you just took the rest of the real reason he is asking is because he’s hoping that you will let him have just one of the 4 you just took without really thinking about] (reminded me of my favorite hostess cherry pies, member? come on you member.) They looked good. I had a Boston cream (bustin with yummy cream [$ 1.50]), a plain donut (goes great with sweet coffee) and a very yummy looking cinnamon roll. I had the nice young man heat it up a tad in their microwave. He must have remembered to heat it up under low power, because it was warmed to almost perfection. Yes, yes I shared these delectable items with my beautiful wife, but still managed to have a sugar meltdown. I crashed from all the sugar over-​load, even more coffee didn’t help. I needed time and water. But, yes I think it was worth it.
There is no place to sit, and the décor is plain, but you’ll be thanking me later. Have fun!
