Carissa's the Bakery

A cornerstone of the East Hampton community since it was founded by baker Carissa Waechter and Managing Partner Lori Chemla in 2017, Carissa’s is an all-day bakery that’s baking stunning European-style breads, pastries, and vibrant cakes inspired by the surrounding flora on-site in a bright, sunny, modernist space. In fact, it even won the 2020 James Beard Award for Outstanding Restaurant Design!

At Carissa’s, they support small local growers and producers who prioritize organic and sustainable farming, fair trade practices, and overall transparency, and the end result is a product that’s healthy, delicious, and absolutely unforgettable. And from housemade granola to their signature Salted Soured Pickle Rye Bread – which was praised by Alex Guarnaschelli on Food Network’s “The Best Thing I Ever Ate,” Carissa’s is now shipping nationwide!
