Have you recently been tortured by the idea that, even though you live in an old farmhouse with antique quilts and vintage hooked rugs, you have a pet Labrador, you keep chickens in an adorable henhouse, drive an elderly Bronco, collect antique silver, and wear only preppy clothes, that you’re just not old-money enough? That your beverages, in fact, just don’t share that upper-class American style, fresh and unstuffy, that characterizes Ralph Lauren? Well, stop your fretting, because Ralph’s Coffee is popping up in the Hamptons for summer!
Coffee devotee Ralph (who knew?) just opened a summer pop-up at the Ralph Lauren Southampton store. From now till Sunday, August 16, the coffee shop will offer its signature selection of hot and cold beverages, including Ralph’s Roast Coffee, Espresso & Teas, Espresso Tonic, Ralph’s Iced Tea, Lemonade & more. Hours are Wednesday through Sunday from 8AM to 6PM.
More of an East Hampton person? (We will note, Ralph, that you live in Montauk, just down the street from us, and you’re not popping up any coffee in Montauk. We’re not hurt though.) Pop up at the RL East Hampton store opens Thursday, August 20, and will be there through Sunday, Sept 6. The hours are the same as in Southampton: Wednesday through Sunday from 8AM to 6PM.
Ralph’s custom blends feature organically grown beans from Central and South America and Africa, which are roasted and packaged in the U.S. by La Colombe in Philadelphia.
Prices are quite reasonable, ranging from $3 for a bottle of water up to $5 for cappuccino. Give it a try and report back to us. (Also, are the Ralph’s coffee graphics too darling for words? Nice job, Mr. Lauren.)
