Left Hand Coffee in Montauk

If you’re planning a beach day, heading out for a hike, or just rolling into town for the weekend, Left Hand Coffee in Montauk is a must. Tucked just off the beach in downtown Montauk, this spot is a local favorite for a reason: the drinks are great, the energy is relaxed, and it sets the tone for a perfect day out east.

What to Order

The Iced Nutella Latte is iconic – chocolatey, smooth, and just the right amount of sweet. It’s the kind of drink that makes people say “wait, where did you get that?” The rest of the menu leans creative but balanced, with rotating seasonal specials, excellent drip, and house-made syrups.

Go-to orders:

Iced Nutella Latte
Cold Brew with Oat Milk
Banana Bread or a Breakfast Sandwich (when available)
