J B Peel Coffee & Tea

Their coffee is the BEST. I love so many of the different roasts- Rhinebeck my favorite - you are sure to find what works best for you or a coffee-loving friend. The tea is beautiful too, and lots of fun gifts, stickers, pins. This place is an oasis and I love going in with my dog who receives so much love every time.

Really quaint spot for all sorts of drinks, coffee beans and grounds, gifts and so much more. Not a huge place so keep that in mind. I had the dirty chai (hot) and savory pastry that was super tasty.

Feels like the olde apothocaries in Holland, with the small brown paper sacks or cones of teas and herbs chosen from a wall of alphabetized cupboard drawers, Or Wafts like the old shoppes under the Edinburgh bridges, with the burlap sacks and spices and utensils for kitchens, all with live fire roastings, coffee beans, chestnuts, vanilla, And Transports me to the penny candy shops calling at me into their doors as I'm walking to school in S. W. Philly, with just so many chocolatey choices and brightly colored bonbons in full glass jars on shelves, clutching the full small sandwich bag bulging for just a quarter and planning out recess and recess sales and trades ... #JBPeelCoffees - an archetypal family shoppe with friendly, busy staff handling roasting fires. Online shopping & new curbside pickup and walk up window is icing on the gluten-free cale! Did I say #biscottis ? #MyMonthlyItem ?#darkchocolatecoveredespressobeans ! Grateful to be able to swing through #historicRedHook and #visitJBPeelsCoffees : I'd sport that #bumper sticker !

This place was amazing! As a coffee nerd, I have a very particular taste in coffee. This place met that and went above and beyond. The store was littered with coffee makers, grinders, and the largest quantity of fresh roasted beans I’ve ever seen; not to mention their wide array of teas. I could have spent 4 hours in there with the great latte they made me, but I did have to leave.

I am so happy I have access to such amazing coffee locally!! If you're in the area, you owe it to yourself to stop here and get some locally roasted coffee. The difference between local and anything you buy in grocery stores/online is amazing, especially if you are not accustomed to local coffee. From opening the bag of espresso I got, to smelling it, to grinding it to drawing espresso shots with it, the entire process is so much better with great quality coffee.

We luckily stumbled across this place for coffee on a weekend trip up north. What a find. Amazing coffee. I order and have this coffee shipped on a regular basis down in NJ.

A favorite for years! Suprised by their big new location & store where you can see the roasters! Excellent for a school field trip for children and grandparents! I love the Swiss water method decaf coffee beans! If people only knew what caustic chemicals some industrial coffee processors use to decaffeinate the beans, they'd probably stop poisoning themselves. Anywho .. Love Love Love J B Peel Coffee & Tea! I can order ahead, order online to have shipped to me, and i usually stop in when up in RedHook! Supporting family-owned small businesses in the Mid-Hudson River Valley! @ILoveNY

My family and I are coffee enthusiasts , quite particular about our roast. This lovely shop did not disappoint. Very robust but smooth coffee. My family had iced americano, iced lattes, mocha latte and iced matcha, everyone enjoyed their coffees. Lots of interesting brews, local art, baked treats reasonably priced and friendly service.

Found JB while visiting family in the area. It was a great find! It's a unique little shop that is easy to miss. It sits back away from the road. I was impressed the moment I walked in. They roast their own coffee so the smell alone is an experience for the coffee lover. The shop vibe is laid back and offers limited seating. It would make for a good one on one meet up spot. I take my coffee black and their drip did not disappoint. It was flavorful. I paired it with an oatmeal raisin cookie that was baked in house. Wow...it was light and buttery. I went back and bought some more to take home. The staff were friendly and welcoming. I was greeted as I walked through the door. I will definitely be going back on my next visit to the area.

I went back there recently and picked up some Woodstock blend coffee and the equipment to start doing pour over coffee. Staff was very friendly and helpful. I've been using the coffee for a week now and it's been excellent. I really enjoy making pour over coffee and I feel like I am helping out the environment by not using K cups all the time.

This is a well-stocked coffee and tea shop! All kinds of coffees and teas and accessories. Do yourself a favor, get the cookie shot. The churro shot cup is delicious. Glad we stopped by. Closed on Sundays.

Visited my daughter in Red Hook from Seattle and discovered JB Peel. I prefer dark roast beans and their French Roast and Espresso are the best I've had at great price. I order beans regularly to ship. The beans are fresh and the shipment is prompt.

This is a well established coffee roaster - note the age on their Probat machine. The beans are pre-bagged in one pound bags - and their prices are often lower than other roasters' prices for 12 oz. bags. On a recent visit, one of my selections was Celebes Kalossi, a favorite and not always that easy to find. I've never tried the blends -- prefer to make my own amateurish blends. Despite being pre-bagged in paper, the beans I bought were so fresh and aromatic as to fill our car with their pleasant aroma on the way home. I didn't notice any espresso machine on my most recent visit, so if you're looking for a cuppa joe here it's from the airpot. There seems to have been one in the past, maybe I missed it.

Still far and away the best coffee I've had in my life. Come in early, and they're likely to be roasting the beans before your very eyes. The aroma is heaven, and once you've tasted coffee brewed within 24-48 hours of roasting ... well, there's nothing else like it. No other coffee comes close. Used to go here religiously when we lived nearby. I stopped in for the first time in many years on a rare trip through Red Hook, and was happy to see the old place still up and running. The friendly new owner kindly gave me a backstage tour, and I made sure to bring home a pound of Keyna AA, an old favorite, still toasty-warm in the bag just as I remembered it. I'm torn as to finishing it, knowing the magic's out of the bag before too long. If you're anywhere near Red Hook, this is the place!

This is the best spot to get coffee beans in the area. We particularly enjoy the organic expresso beans. Customer service is outstanding.

A coffee distributor? In this small town? YES, it does exist! And I am so happy, because coffee can get really bland and watery when you don't have the right coffee beans to start. I used to pretty much be a caffeine addict (10 cups a day), but I realized that was mostly due to the lack of good quality cups of coffee around here. Buying beans in bulk from this place was the best thing I could have done for my coffee fix. If you want them ground, they will also do that for you in the store. The aroma hits you like a wall when you walk in. It's a coffee drinkers paradise. You can't resist the names either. Most of them are things like "Tivoli Bread & Baking Blend", which is obviously for the locals since if you don't live around here you most likely wouldn't understand the reference. Honestly, this is my favorite blend from JB Peel. There are other local reminders like the Red Hook blend and the Tivoli blend, as well as your standard Colombian and Breakfast blends. The appeal of this place is their specialty items, so those are what I would suggest. They also have loose teas, yet another reason to stop by here. Sassafras Delight is delicious and something I could drink everyday. And if you're looking for something more traditional, they have that too.

I love their beans! The Organic Mexican is my favorite. Great curbside service. While others may like to diversify their roasters, J B Peel has my loyalty.

I've been buying 5 i-lb pound bogs of coffee since 1994. It's always well roasted and fresh -- and tasty. The new owners, who have kept Julie as the face of the business, are great. I cannokt recommend them too highly. LeifAnderson@aol.com

I never had a single cup of coffee in my life before working here three years ago. After about two months of working here on Saturdays, I gave in and had a cup. And then another. And eventually I tried everything the shop has to offer. I started to work more hours and became further acquainted with the different types of coffee and teas offered. Never was I forced to know a single thing about coffee and tea, but working here made me want to learn about all the different varieties of beans, roasts and teas. Plus, many of the costumers, whether people from the area or people visiting from the city, would have countless questions about the coffee, so I just had to make sure I knew my stuff. The place is a bit of an anomaly for Red Hook, most residents don't even know it exists. Advertising is done solely by word of mouth and people definitely catch on. It's hands down the most no frills coffee shop that you will ever venture upon, and I mean that in the best way possible. The place (thankfully) didn't even sell cappuccinos, espresso, or lattes until about a year ago, nor does it have seating of any type. You come in, look around at dozens of different barrels filled with beans from around the world, and pick something out to be ground while sipping an a 12oz cup of Colombian. Or you could pick one of the many blends named after various local towns, or a flavored coffee, or perhaps one of the many varieties tea. The owner roasts the coffee a bit darker than many people are accustomed to; be prepared for a strong, but excellent cup of coffee. Many beans are almost ten bucks a pound, pricey, but well worth it if you desire good coffee. My favorites include the Clermont Blend, Celebes Kalossi, Ethiopian and Sumatra, but all are well worth a try.

Wow!!! Little Red Hook has a real gem here! They have a huge selection of coffee and tea. We only get our espresso here same with their Green and black tea. Very nice people who own this place too... A must!!

Great coffees roasted fresh each day. Owner and staff very knowledgable, and they carry a great assortment of coffee presses etc.

Sorry, I don't know if the other two reviewers and I are writing about the same coffee roaster -- but my experience with J. B. Peel has been completely different. I think the problem might be that they don't sell enough in the summer as they do in the winter -- and they don't discard unsold coffee after the proper period of sitting in the barrel. The Brazil Santos I purchased a few days ago was so stale, it had absolutely no flavor. A fresh well-roasted coffee offers an aroma even through the package. I suffered for 3 days without coffee until I received my order from another roaster I've been buying from on Long Island. Not mentioning the name because I don't want anyone to think I'm just advertising for them. P.S. I returned the coffee yesterday and was given a refund without question, which is a plus, and I think they probably sell their blends more than the single origins, and they might be fresher, so I'm changing my review to 3 stars for the blends.

Freshly roasted coffees. The beans are often still warm from the roaster when I pick up a pound. Very good quality and variety.

I have had the pleasure of brewing their Rhinebeck Blend whole beans for 10-plus years--only this blend because it is the most wonderful flavor--round, full, smooth and just fabulous.There is no dramatic, jarring kick to this. It's a natural, velvety rush. I look at this as I would a fine wine. Made properly, it is rich with flavor and in perfect balance with all the flavor notes. I've just never had another coffee that compares. We started drinking this when we lived in the area and when we moved, we knew we could not be without it.

I love your coffee shop. You have almond milk and the atmosphere is great. I was really disappointed to pay $6 for a cold brew coffee. That's more than city prices! Please consider lowering the price!!
