Vegan in the Hamptons: Brunch at Four Oaks Cafe & Juice Bar

One of the best parts of spending time in the Hamptons — aside from the beaches, farm stands, and general charm of coastal living — is discovering spots that feel both healthy and indulgent. We found ourselves doing exactly that when we stopped in for brunch at Four Oaks Cafe and Juice Bar in Southampton. Known for their commitment to fresh, plant-forward offerings and a menu that highlights local, organic ingredients whenever possible, this sunny little café turned out to be a perfect destination for a late morning meal.

Four Oaks carries the relaxed, earthy vibe you’d expect from a juice bar in the Hamptons. The space is bright and inviting, with plenty of greenery and natural wood accents that give it an understated charm. You immediately get the sense that wellness isn’t just something they’re selling here — it’s baked into the ethos of the place. From the friendly staff to the thoughtful, wholesome menu, it’s clear Four Oaks is all about nourishment, both physical and mental.

Fresh Juices: A Vibrant Start

We began our brunch with a couple of their house-made fresh juices, something Four Oaks does particularly well. The daily juice special on offer was a vibrant, golden-orange blend of carrots, turmeric, and ginger. It arrived bright and freshly pressed, carrying that distinct earthiness of carrot balanced by the gentle heat of ginger and the mellow depth of turmeric. It felt energizing without being overwhelming — exactly what you want to sip on after a morning walk through town.

We also couldn’t resist trying the Sunshine Juice, a more tropical-leaning option made with pineapple, orange, and ginger. True to its name, this juice tasted like a burst of sunshine — bright, sweet, and tangy with just enough ginger to keep it feeling grounded and not overly sweet. Both juices were served cold, in tall glasses, and felt like the kind of beverages that do your body a favor with every sip. Fresh, clean, and vibrant — exactly what a juice should be.

A Nourishing, Plant-Forward Brunch

For food, we decided to sample two menu standouts that seemed to capture the heart of Four Oaks' approach to plant-based dining: the Mediterranean Bowl and the TB.LT.A (a vegan play on the classic BLT).

The Mediterranean Bowl arrived beautifully plated, a colorful medley of wholesome ingredients artfully arranged in a generous portion. The base of quinoa provided a hearty, protein-rich foundation, topped with a bright and zippy tabbouleh salad that added layers of fresh herbs, citrus, and chopped vegetables. A generous scoop of creamy hummus anchored one side of the bowl, while crispy-on-the-outside, tender-on-the-inside falafel rounds offered substance and spice. A handful of vibrant greens tied everything together, making each bite feel balanced and satisfying. It was the kind of bowl that hits all the right notes: nutritious, filling, and full of contrasting textures and flavors that kept each bite interesting.

Next up was the TB.LT.A, a vegan sandwich that perfectly captures the spirit of what a plant-based take on comfort food should be. Constructed on hearty multigrain bread, this sandwich layered smoky tempeh bacon, lettuce, tomato, avocado, and a creamy, tangy vegan mayonnaise. The tempeh bacon brought a satisfying chew and rich, smoky depth that played beautifully against the crisp lettuce and juicy tomato. Creamy slices of avocado added that extra indulgent bite, making the sandwich feel both substantial and luxurious without being heavy. It’s the kind of thing you might not expect to find in a small Hamptons cafe, but Four Oaks executes it with a confident ease that makes it feel perfectly at home.

The Four Oaks Experience

What makes Four Oaks Cafe and Juice Bar stand out isn’t just their menu — though the menu certainly delivers. It’s the overall sense that this is a space thoughtfully designed to make healthy eating approachable and delicious, not preachy or restrictive. The atmosphere is casual and welcoming, with plenty of locals and weekenders popping in for everything from elaborate smoothie bowls to an afternoon green juice.

While some vegan spots can veer toward the overly austere, Four Oaks strikes a refreshing balance. Their plates are generous, their flavors are bold, and there’s a sense of joy in their food that’s palpable. You’re not here just to “be good”; you’re here to genuinely enjoy your meal — and leave feeling better than when you arrived.

A Local Favorite for Good Reason

It’s easy to see why Four Oaks has become a favorite for health-conscious eaters in the Hamptons. The combination of fresh, nutrient-dense offerings, thoughtful preparation, and an inviting atmosphere makes it the kind of place you’ll want to revisit. Whether you’re grabbing a juice after yoga, meeting a friend for a casual brunch, or fueling up before a day at the beach, Four Oaks offers something that feels both grounding and uplifting.

As we lingered over the last sips of our juice, already feeling restored and satisfied, we couldn’t help but reflect on how places like this have become integral to the fabric of modern Hamptons living. Here, wellness isn’t just a trend — it’s a lifestyle choice reflected in everything from the menu to the service.

If you’re spending time on the East End and seeking out a spot where you can enjoy a fresh, flavorful, and entirely plant-based meal, Four Oaks Cafe and Juice Bar is more than worth a stop. It’s a reminder that eating well can be as joyful as it is nourishing, and that a simple brunch — when done right — can set the tone for an entire weekend of feeling good.
