Do Not Feed Alligators

Crema's Take

“Do Not Feed Alligators pulls off the rare feat of being both a serious specialty coffee destination and a genuinely fun beach hangout, with their matcha drawing particular praise from locals. The vibe is refreshingly unpretentious—friendly staff and a curated selection of beach essentials make it feel less like a coffee shop and more like a casual gathering spot, though the pricing ($19 for two drinks) skews toward the resort-town premium side. If you're in Montauk and want excellent coffee without the stuffiness, it's worth the detour.”
