Ralph’s Coffee Truck

Ralph Lauren has a new presence in East Hampton, not on Main Street but at Mulford Farm, 10 James Lane, where Ralph’s Coffee will be available from a truck parked there.

Made from organically grown coffee beans from Central and South America, the options include Ralph’s roast, decaf, and espresso. Also on offer are an assortment of teas, soft drinks, and artisanal baked goods from Amber Waves Farm and Market.

One hundred percent of proceeds from the sale of the Mulford Farm Spritz, a sparkling pomegranate limeade, will be donated to the East Hampton Historical Society.

The truck will be on site daily from 8 to 5 through Sept. 7.

Watanabe, who has created the restaurant’s six-cocktail summer menu, will be behind the bar both days for a three-course prix fixe brunch ($150) from 11 to 2 and a five-course prix fixe dinner ($250) from 5 to 10.
