Amber Waves Farm in Amagansett is one of the most charming stops in the Hamptons. It is part working farm, part market, part cafe, part bakery, and part community space. The result is a place that feels polished enough for the Hamptons, but still rooted in the land around it.
Set on Main Street in Amagansett, Amber Waves works well for a morning coffee, a casual breakfast, fresh produce, flowers, pantry items, baked goods, or a relaxed lunch after the beach. It also has a larger mission behind it. Amber Waves is a nonprofit teaching farm focused on food, farming, education, and community.
That gives the experience more depth than a regular farm stand. You are not just buying a coffee or a salad. You are visiting a working farm that grows food, trains farmers, supports education, and brings people together through food.

Review of Amber Waves Farmers Market Amagansett – Photos
Amber Waves Farm is best for people who love farm markets, local produce, coffee, flowers, and casual food with a sense of place. It suits Hamptons visitors, Amagansett locals, families, food lovers, beach day planners, and anyone who enjoys a market that feels both practical and beautiful.
It is also a strong stop for people who care about where their food comes from. The teaching farm mission makes the experience feel more meaningful than a regular cafe visit.
It may not be the best fit if you want cheap groceries, a fast chain cafe, or a formal sit down restaurant. Amber Waves is more about seasonal food, community, and the simple pleasure of being on a working farm.
