Westhampton Beach - Hampton Coffee Company's special Holiday Cafés and Gift Stores are once again open for the Season! All month, the locally-owned and operated espresso bars and cafés are featuring a variety of delicious special holiday beverages, warm seasonal muffins, freshly baked pies, and fantastic holiday gifts in every price range.

Returning this Holiday Season are the Peppermint Mocha, Peppermint Hot Chocolate, and Eggnog Latte. The Peppermint Mocha combines peppermint syrup, their signature freshly roasted espresso, chocolate syrup, and steamed milk - topped with whipped cream, chocolate drizzle, and candy cane pieces. The Peppermint Hot Chocolate combines their homemade hot cocoa with all natural peppermint syrup and is topped with whipped cream (of course!), chocolate drizzle, and candy cane pieces. Last but not least, Hampton Coffee Company's always popular Eggnog Latte is the best around. Real Eggnog, gently steamed, combined with espresso, and topped with whipped cream and cinnamon. And nothing goes better with one of these holiday beverages than their Holiday Muffin, the Cinnamon Streusel Muffin, served warm from the oven in each of their cafés, and sprinkled with delicious crumb topping and frosted with vanilla icing.

Hampton Coffee Company's limited edition Hampton Holiday Blend coffee is back this month at its Water Mill and Westhampton Beach Espresso Bars & Cafes! Available by the pound and by the cup only until New Year's Weekend, the newest creation from their Coffee Roastery is described as a delicious sweet & savory warming wintry blend of their hand-roasted Indonesian coffee blended with real cinnamon and authentic spices from the island of Grenada. "It's perfect for your holiday dessert table or as a host or hostess gift to bring to your holiday meals and events," said Company Roastmaster Dwight Amade. "It's a nice and smooth blend that everyone will enjoy. Not too dark or spicy, but just enough cinnamon and spice to warm you up. It's great for gift baskets, too."

Hampton Holiday Blend is also available for mail orders and gift delivery through their website, www.hamptoncoffeecompany.com, and at local shops that sell Hampton Coffee. In addition, free samples of the new blend will be served every day throughout the holiday season at both of their cafés.
