In a tiny gourmet shack deep in the Hamptons, sits Loaves & Fishes. It’s a fancy diner’s take out shop nestled in Sagaponack with a gravel driveway and just a few precious parking spots. If you know you know.


In addition to spectacular cookies, meringues and fruit pies, homemade soups like Fresh Pea and Creamy Local Corn, open faced sandwiches like Heirloom Tomato & Tarragon Mayo and Seared Mushroom & Burrata, and their calling card– their infamous lobster salad which goes for upwards of $100 a pound (NOT a typo) and is only available Friday through Monday to a very hungry audience of Out Easters, they have schmancy pantry staples and a great bread selection.



For dessert the options range from a stunning Plum Tart to moist Carrot Cake and so much more. But the reason to grab your Fast Food Friday feast here is to jump fork first into their Brownie Pudding– one of the richest, most decadent desserts ever. Words can barely describe the flavor.



It’s like a combination of flaky on the top but chewy on the bottom, fully cooked brownie chunks lodged in brownie batter so thick that I dare you to drag your flatware of choice from one end to the other without getting mired in the delicious muck. It is fudgy, satisfying, and with each passing bite, you won’t be able to control your outbursts of wow as you prepare your on deck bite. This handheld portion could easily feed a team of nine, and this is their small!
