Peck’s

I haven’t had any of the food here except for a muffin and coffee, but I love the atmosphere and market feel to it. The beers are also super cheap – much cheaper than at a bar. They have a large backyard with lots of seats, although they could definitely fit more. I was here on a warm and sunny Saturday maybe two weeks ago and there were only 3 other people out there. I’m not sure how it is during the summer, but this might be a good option when all of the other bar backyards are crowded.

This place makes really good sandwiches, but you gotta be patient. This can be hard for the stroller set, but one thing I’ve noticed is that this place holds itself accountable. Did I wait a little too long for 2 sandwiches on a Saturday afternoon? Sure. Did they acknowledge it and offer me a free cookie? Yes they did. That goes a long way in my book.

The coconut macaroons are the most amazing version I have ever eaten. So crispy on the outside, so chewy on the inside! The scotch egg was also incredible. Staff is so friendly. I am looking forward to sitting out back when the weather warms up!

Dropped a reasonable $ 9.50 on the great s’mores bar, a solid chocolate babka bun, and a pretty disappointing B&W cookie.

Hands down the best breakfast sandwich I’ve had so far in NYC. I literally eat it every day! I recommend the sausage egg and cheese but with bacon it’s great too. What makes it so great is the Portuguese roll the eggs cooked to perfection and finished in a top heating oven along with the handmade sausage patty it’s just crack! Put this place on your list to go every morning!

Just like some of the other 2 star reviewers, I keep coming back to Peck’s because I like the food. It is good. I have no problem there. But don’t even bother going in unless you have at least 10 minutes to kill. Even a cup of coffee – you’ll be stuck in a never moving line while the counter people stare at the register trying to figure out what buttons to press. They do it every day, but every day it’s as if they start to learn anew. If you really have time to kill, go ahead and order a sandwich. Try the breakfast sandwich – it’s great. Perhaps because by the time you get it you’re starving. For fun, try asking the counter people questions, such as: Why did you ring me up for a dollar extra? The price is right there on the board behind you. Perhaps they’ll reply: Ooops. Do you want me to take it off? However, don’t ask for substitutions, because while teh cook would probably do it, the counter people don’t know how to ring it in (again, they’re still learning), and so they’ll probably feed you a line about «authenticity» and how «we don’t really do that [substitutions] here.» And if you’re really looking for an outing, why not try one of the sliced meats. The prosciutto, again, is fabulous; and while you’re waiting for it, you can watch one of the counter people try to learn how to use the meat slicer. By the time you get out of there, oh what, like 45 minutes later, you’ll feel so thrilled that the guy made it through without cutting off a finger.
In short, Peck’s!, please! Read the reviews. I’d go there every day, I’d give you so much money, if I could only go in and out in 5, 6, 7 minutes. I thought I was crazy, I thought I was maybe being too tough, being a jerk, but your reviews are full of people who feel the same way. Come on! Get it together.

Great coffee, great food, very friendly staff. They also have a really nice backyard with outdoor seating. Also, wide variety of hot sauces, barbecue sauces, chocolate, cheese, and cured meat.

I like what’s going on at Peck’s, I just don’t feel like I’m totally welcome. It’s an accumulation of little things, really. The food, which is consistently quite good, takes kindof a while, like 25 minutes for 2 sandwiches and fries. But, should I wait here? Or go sit down somewhere? Am I being waited on? Is that my sandwich that’s been sitting on the counter behind the cashier that nobody noticed for the past few minutes? Or the staff member who seemed kindof miffed when my friend asked if they had ketchup. I guess we were supposed to know to get that ourselves somewhere. Why are the trashcans on one side of the backyard and the tray for dishes on the other side?
I’m not trying to be picky. I like Peck’s. Individually each of these gripes would be perfectly permissible. But they accumulate to a feeling of being unwelcome. Disorder. It just doesn’t feel like they have all their systems in place…

I stopped in today for the first time with a mission to get an iced coffee and a little snack. Then I saw the schmaltz potato pierogis and decided to order more than a snack. They were warm and delicious. Finished off with a salted chocolate chip cookie, which may have had schmaltz in it too because I can’t get it out of my head. I’ll definitely return to Peck to try the highly reviewed matzo ball soup and maple biscuit. Tasty!

I realllly am rooting for this place to be awesome but am just so consistently disappointed, particularly with their sandwiches.
Everything is pretty expensive, but for a weekend treat, I think to myself, sure, why not. But that $ 8 egg salad sandwich is blander than bland, the onion roll doing little to mitigate the blandness. It just seems like it could and should be better. Vinegar? Pickles? Salt? Pepper?
Their bakery goods, though, are pretty top notch and the only things saving this review from being much lower.
Sigh, Peck’s, I want you to be so good and yet every time everything kind of turns out mediocre.

It doesn’t get better than this. Try anything and everything here, it’s all delicious. The granola is like crack (I assume) and I can’t stop.

I only went in to have a black iced coffee in and out, but that coffee was so good! It was the best coffee ever had. It wasn’t bitter like most black coffees and just I’m very impressed.

Today’s the day I finally write this review. Peck’s, I’m sorry to put you on blast like this but enough is enough.
You know when you see a really attractive eligible guy in his late 20’s/early30’s…so attractive that you’re like ‘Thank you G-​d! You finally noticed my biological clock is about to implode!’ and then he opens his mouth and is dumb as rocks? Yeah, it’s that disappointing. Ladies– I know you feel me.
I’ve been going there at least 3 – 4 times a week for the last year. Yes, a YEAR. It’s super convenient because I live just across the street and I want my bougie coffee fix and they cater to some of my food issues. I always order the same thing: coffee with almond milk, plus possibly one of their two gluten free sweet things. I see the same people working every morning. I know their names, and by now you’d think they’d know mine.
Every morning, they hardly acknowledge me. I smile. I make friendly, sometimes unnecessary small talk just to try to get them to warm up. I tip them (!) Nothing sticks! (I’d say I’m a fairly good looking young lady, for those misogynists wondering.) I’ve reached the point where I step out my door to go over and I brace myself for a disappointing start to my day. Don’t you just wanna go where everybody knows your name? (RIP Cheers.) It’s a bummer to say the least.
Peck’s, I know I may have alienated you for good with this one, but honestly this is ridiculous. I’m a regular and after a year you don’t remember my order? After a year you don’t even smile at me? I’ve got enough issues in therapy as it is.
I’ll probably keep going because I’m lazy AF, but if you’re in the hood go to Brooklyn Roasters 2 blocks down on Washington. Less sundries, but more ambiance and kindness, and equally good coffee for the price… On second thought, I could always use more exercise.
Two stars because they have gluten free muffins, almond milk, and a cute backyard.

I’ve officially been disappointed every time I’ve visited this place, which at this point is probably too often (I live down the street). The food is pretty good but the service is just God-​awful. I’m an extremely low maintenance customer – having worked in food service for ten years, I totally get «it” – but the employees here constantly make me drop the bar lower. They’re never not nice – I’s describe them as either daffy or aloof, depending on the person. And what this translates to is some of the most mind-​numbingly slow service, with very little attention to detail.

Came here for coffee twice and really dig their cold brew! With that we usually get the maple biscuit and banana muffins. Sooooo good. Makes my pants tight from all the Boners it gives me.
Also, the people there seem really cool and nice.

So, over the past few weeks, I’ve been back to Pecks at least a dozen times and I need to take back my comment about the too-​cool hipster dudes behind the counter. I think I just got some odd mixes in the early interactions, but over a bit more time I’ve seen a more diverse staff (even a lady!), and everyone has been incredibly friendly.
I’m still addicted to their ham sandwiches and black and white cookies.

Stopped in for a snack and to keep warm on the cold day. Ordered a tomato soup. It was $ 8 which seemed pricey but it was worth the money because of the size and taste. Looks like they have a great patio out back for the warmer months. Service was friendly and the menu looked great! Wish I had more time for a larger meal.

Hot corn muffins, crusty baguettes, La Colombe, a perfectly varied pantry, good 7:30AM music, spacious & clean countertops, grandma floor tile, free wifi, big white bathroom, expert selection of olives, chill staff, good crowd…

I stopped by Peck’s on my way to a friend’s who lives in the neighborhood. As it was only 11:00 AM, I figured it was too early to bring over a bottle of wine, so I wanted to buy some baked goods and coffee instead and this spot caught my eye.
The thin mint cookies, black and white cookies, and chocolate chip sea salt cookies were fantastic. My hosts liked the mint cookies in particular. Think of it like a chewy girl scout thin mint as opposed to a crunchy cookie. The maple biscuit was alright but nothing special. The coffee was great, very fresh.
All in all, it was a good last minute decision. I can’t speak to the other types of food but the sweets were great!

This place is good but incredibly overpriced. I got a turkey sandwich and it was the tiniest little thing. You can see a photo of it here:
Not sure how you can justify $ 9 for that. I should’ve gone to Farmer…
