little pecks

Love love love this spot. Excellent food, drinks, and service. Space is a little tight and might have to share a table with strangers, therefore, would not recommend coming here on a sunny day when the farmers market is going on if you are tight on time. Other than that, overall satisfied every time I go here, it’s truly the perfect midweek pick-me-up. The prices are justified. ALSO had a precious little indoor/outdoor patio space.

My bride, Rachel, & I don’t often clear our plates, but it is hard not to when you order food at Little Pecks. Delicious food, wonderful service, and a unique atmosphere that has been carved out in historic downtown Troy. We love visiting Little Pecks when we travel down for the incredible Troy’s Farmers Market on Saturdays. Rain or shine… it’s a very enjoyable way to spend time and soak up an old school vibe. Go check them them out when you can & you’re bound to discover a whole lot more that you didn’t realize was here in Troy 😎

Great little coffee space inside a small grocery store. Typical coffee & espresso menu along with breakfast sandwichs & some baked goods. Anle to sit outside while the Farmers Market was starting up.

The ambiance at Little Pecks is stunning. I remember the first time I came here, expecting a small coffee shop, but as I walked in, I discovered a little oasis filled with greenery, cute lights, lovely tables, and lots of people working. It's such a cozy spot, and I absolutely adore the vibes. I typically come for the coffee—love their cappuccinos and iced lattes. Recently, I tried their breakfast burrito, which was pretty decent! I still need to explore more of their food options, but it’s definitely the coffee and atmosphere that keep me coming back.

The place is massive on the inside and feels like a place you can stay in to do work for an hour or two with a meal. The food 10/10 homemade, fresh, and vibrant. I had an espresso, and it was also amazing but really strong since they did a double shot and felt like a cuban espresso. The inside is beautiful, and it's connected to multiple places, so you actually explore. The service was also pretty fast, but I feel like that depends on staffing. Overall recommended 10/10. The food tasted gourmet but then again it was $12 for a bacon egg and cheese so I guess it is.

The space is gorgeous and bigger then it looks, seating outside of the front of the store and almost like a greenhouse seating room all the way in the back, amazing for the summer. There isn't sit down service and the food is so tasty with seasonal menus and pastries for the day. I think it's a little pricey for the portions but worth it because of the quality. As you walk to the back of the cafe you can look into their little kitchen, so cute.

Love this cafe. Drip coffee was excellent (coffee snob here). Great variety of seating, super delicious gluten free pastry options, and great staff and music. I used wifi here for a few hours on a busy Sunday and the front seating room was easy to get work done.

The vibe, space, fireplace and waterfall sound added up to an amazing relaxing place to have your second cup of coffee. My future cafe would totally have their vibe. I bet the owner loves ferns as there are like 10 hanging on the wall and maybe a plant hugger. I love the handmade table and rustic ambiance. Service is fast and not crowded on a cold winter morning. Cappuccino is well made with beautiful leave and down it like water. Perfect for my addict wife. I haven’t tried the food but from the way they made coffee, I bet they are out of this world too.

We stopped in for coffee and it didn't rock our world. My cappuccino was average and the americano was like diner coffee. Although it's kinda cool inside the bathroom is dirty. The service was slow because they're so busy and they ran out of ceramic cups for indoor dining. Honestly I don't know why it's so busy and maybe my experience was a one off but I won't be here again.

Need somewhere to do work or study? Little pecks is probably one of the most aesthetic coffee shops I've ever been to. Very friendly staff. Be sure to remember your order since they don't take names. I sat out in the back, where they have this roofed sunlit courtyard full of plants and rustic decor. Even with the crowds it felt serene just sitting there. Along one of the walls is a fountain of sorts, so you have calm water sounds in the background. I got the latte, which had a balanced taste to it - not too sweet, and not too bitter.

Absolutely love coming here for breakfast! Anytime we visit Albany, we have to stop by. Their breakfast burrito hits every time and their lattes are made with homemade syrups! This time, we also got the egg and cheese biscuit with bacon and a wild berry knot (not pictured). Both were yummy. If you can, sit out back in the covered patio area. There's a lot of live plants and some water features that make it a neat space.

This cafe is super cute! I love how drinks come in glass mason jars. The seating area in this place is insane! There's a beautiful outdoor area with good lighting and you can also stay cool with inside seats as well. The matcha latte was pretty good, staff was super nice and the ambiance was really nice.

Great study spot! I've come to this place a couple of times with friends to study and it's so cute and makes a great place to focus! The greenhouse space is super open and bright The coffees are really great and the food comes really quick as well. One thing is that I had a hard time finding outlets that worked so just make sure to bring a power bank or having fully charged devices if you're coming here to work!

Love this place. It's our regular "go to" for breakfast while visiting Troy (other than on Saturdays during farmers market season). They always have interesting scones (matcha green tea!), a delish breakfast burrito, and my favorite: avocado toast.

Great little BEC served by a punk dude in a secret garden vibe, would recommend 10/10

Hands down one of the best venues for a coffee and breakfast I have ever been to. The creative use of the space is unique and amazing. We really enjoyed hanging out in the garden area, but you should check out the upstairs, too! Service is friendly and the egg and cheese on a biscuit was incredible!!

I go here to study great ambience. I love the outdoor space. Some of the portions are on the smaller side. Great service.

Convenient and interesting, Pecks is a fun place to get food and drink. It's got a trendy atmosphere staffed by fun folk. When it's busy, it can get backed up at the order/pick-up area, but it generally goes fast unless you're behind a larger order. I do need to brush up on their menu though, before I order next time. I ordered an "Americano," thinking it would be the same type of drink as I get by that name in Montreal. Big difference, as theirs is a chilled brew; not what I expected, though still good, tasty, and refreshing. This would be, for me, a great spot for breakfast, lunch, brunch, or a beverage to go.

The ambiance in here is what makes the whole experience. Feels so cozy and refreshing with the plants. Good food and bevs!

Visited this relaxing cafe for a quick breakfast with friends and found it was full of little joys in every corner! Located inside was the front counter and the shop section to the right. Straight ahead from the entrance was the hallway that led to the patio. As for food, I ordered the egg + cheese biscuit with additional bacon. This was a powerful combination that was much too delicious and flavor-packed to not order another one to-go. My friends and I enjoyed our hot food and well-crafted coffee in the patio, which was definitely the noteworthy spot at Little Pecks. I loved how tucked away and timeless it was. The airy space had a peaceful atmosphere with plenty of natural light, fresh plants, and cozy string lights swaying gently along the breeze. My delicious breakfast, paired with the rustic decor and warm ambience, made a memorable combination that I hope to experience here again. Way to go, Little Pecks!

Little pecks is the best coffee spot in downtown troy! the inside is so cute and the entire staff is so beyond friendly! if i could have their matcha injected into my bloodstream i would!

What an adorable place! Inside green area too was so nice. Came here with the family and everyone, including vegetarian daughter, found something. Breakfast sandwiches, burritos, avocado toast, coffee and tea. Definitely a must and would totally come back! Breakfast and drinks for 7 was only $100. Amazing.

Sweet seating area and food was very good. Good coffee. Front Staff was a bit bougie.

Stopped in while passing through Troy and we're absolutely in love with Little Pecks! The entire place is adorable and so inviting, the breakfast burrito was delicious, and the staff was so sweet. They also had vegan and gluten free options which was awesome! A great quiet spot to enjoy breakfast with friends or do some work! Definitely will stop back here next time we're in town!

Took a day trip up to Troy with no real destination is mind. After walking around the town Wide farmers market, we passed little pecks and saw they served tandem coffee (a favorite) so we stopped in, and decided on grabbing food as well. It was a small menu, but mighty. I went with a caramel pecan boozy cold brew which was fantastic. Also went with a peaches and cream French toast, which for me is a risky choice considering I usually go savory at brunch. It was one of the best French toasts I've had and the peaches were perfectly ripe. My boyfriend got the breakfast burrito which was pretty standard but packed with flavor. If I'm ever up in Troy again, I'll definitely be stopping in for round 2.

Oooh they made me butterfly pea w/ lavender syrup! Sweet service today by Barista 7/9/23!

This is a very belated review, but little peck's deserves to be recognized! Recently they have been getting overlooked by other newer coffee shops. But for the record, this was HOW Downtown Troy or "North Brooklyn" came to be. little peck's (cafe), alongside the former Peck's Arcade, The Tavern Bar & Lucas Confectionery, is run by Clark Hospitality Group. Literally you could have all your meals around this block of charming businesses, each with a unique atmosphere & menus to boot (pre- and post- dinner drinks as well). But back to little peck's! I think they're still a great intro to Downtown Troy, for those new to Troy, students, out-of-town visitors, work meetings, older crowds & even families. The space serves coffee & teas, curated wine & local beer, breakfast/brunch items with *just* enough unique ingredients to set them apart & a lil fancier from other cafes. Order at the front counter, the staff is sweet and patient in the explaining menu items. There's 'The Grocery' to the right side with more cold drinks & old & new school Italian & snack items, little peck's merch. You get a number and the space is yours to get comfy! I don't know how to describe it, it's a mix of warm reclaimed, retro, mid-century, industrial design, that weirdly works well together. I mean- even the bathrooms are interesting! Pre-pandemic, there were a few tables to sit indoors (now the area's for cooking pizza), the back covered patio is always open (and has such a nice hidden garden feel), the 2nd floor, with large rooms for special events/dinner during the evening, has some cozy chairs also. It's just a great non-pretentious central hub to meet, mingle, get creative. Occasionally there's live jazz/music in the back patio on Monday nights. During the Summer, the sidewalk seating out front and communal tables in the street is THE SPOT to be, with a DJ on Fridays. There's been a few changes with the menu since I started going there in 2017- which I felt was their height of quality & chefs. But I still mostly go for their $5.75 biscuit breakfast sandwich with $2 bacon (light on the fry sauce!). The biscuit is dense & flakey, nice cheese, quality bacon. It's an interesting twist on the breakfast sandwich with slivers of pickle & fry sauce. This is still great for lunch also. My other go-to (also very affordable) is the $5 Tahini Butter Toast. This is a "grown-up PB & J" & SO delicious. THICK cut griddled bread, Tahini butter is Sesame butter & when I used to order it, the strawberry (maybe + Rubarb?) jam was a nice compliment. I wonder if this is seasonal. I've had their Stuffed French Toast, which was enormous, but a little too sweet for me (there was a mix of caramel creme 'stuffing,' pear jam, hibiscus syrup.) It looked gorgeous though! They used to have an delicious Nicoise Tuna Wrap with capers. A Flakey tuna salad bursting with flavor- I'm not even a huge fan of tuna! Searching for a late lunch, I've had the Farro Bowl(old menu), Quinoa Bowl & Tahini Kale Salad. All were fresh & good but not too filling for $10 each. Back in 2017, they were serving Cups of Bone Broth, riding that bone broth wave & it was tasty. I remember a piping hot lemongrass ginger one. The baked items are huge & spot on in quality. Back in the day, there were unique corn & blueberry cookies and compost ones. Still a huge fan of anything brown butter. Their German oat chocolate chip cookies, brownies & blondies are tasty. ($2.75 - 4) Follow their social media for daily specials & bakeds! The drinks! The first time I've had a Iced Cardamom Latte was at little peck's and it was amazing! Wish they would bring that back. I feel the coffee is generally smooth and medium. May have had a Chai or Matcha Latte there, but neither were memorable. Have tried an Orange Blossom Turmeric Latte during a Troy Night Out "Hot Chocolate Hop." It was just okay. little peck's is 4-4.5 stars for me. Not totally 5 because the offerings and quality was a bit better in the past. But hoping this charming space will be around for years to come. It reinvents itself a little bit each season, I'm excited to see how it continues to grow.

It's my favorite spot for avocado toast. The ambiance is surreal. it's a garden style dining area with sunroof. It's a wonderful spot for meetings and get-together as well as special occasions. You can also access Donna's and the Confectionary for shared seating out there. It's clean, and the plants are thriving. I love their delicious tea selection and many other items as well. It's always a favorite spot of ours to stop during the Farmers Market as well. Service is amazing and the servers are friendly.

Yummy coffee, fast service. Would recommend. I had the breakfast biscuit sandwich it was perfect! Great size with yummy toppings!

Yay! What a fun find. We weren't planning on being in the area on our road trip but ended up rerouted and decided to spend a bit of time in Troy for a stretch and to caffeinate. I'm so glad we did! Checking out coffee shops is one of my favorite things about traveling and places like this are the reason. The latte I got was awesome and I loved sitting on the patio enjoying it, surrounded by plants and patrons. Hope I get to stop in again some day!

Really loved this quirky place. Coffee was delicious. I would say the sandwich was only ok.

I decided to come here for brunch because I have a friend in the area who highly recommends it. I believe their brunch is only on the weekends, so plan accordingly! I really love the garden that they have out back, it's the perfect balance of sunlight and still being indoors, and whoever takes care of the garden has a serious green thumb I was adventurous and got a rhubarb milk tea for my drink, which was very earthy but actually was quite good. I also got an avocado toast because I've seen so many people compliment it on Yelp, and...it was okay? I liked the extra crunch from the pepitas and the radish, but the avocado itself was not very flavored and was left in larger pieces so a whole lump dropped onto the plate when I took a bite. I did like the toast though, it was a crunchy toast with SUBSTANCE. I think I would come back for the ambience and a drink, but maybe not for real food

I love most things about Little Pecks a whole, whole lot. I love the atmosphere -- their indoor garden is one of my favorite spaces in the region, and an absolute lifesaver in the middle of an upstate winter. I love most of the food -- that biscuit breakfast sandwich is an A+ treat, though occasionally I'll have to go scrounging for a salt shaker for some of their other options. My one, single, possibly unfair reason for lopping off a star? The coffee. I know that real third-wave coffee experts want the roaster to barely wave the beans past a heat source so that you can experience the ~subtle hints of oak and stone fruits~, but that kind of very acidic ultra-light roast coffee gives me heartburn, so I can't drink it at all. At some places that go for the third wave pour-overs I can still get a more traditional, smoother espresso, but at Little Pecks the espresso feels a little inconsistent -- sometimes I'll get a drink that I enjoy, but other times the espresso is still way too sour for me even when tempered by the milk in a latte or cappuccino. I'll keep coming back here again and again for the snacks and atmosphere, but a slightly darker-roast coffee option for those of us who can't handle the super-sour stuff would be a pretty awesome addition.

What a cute place for a meal! Went here with a few friends for an outside dinner. I was immediately invited by the bustling and fun Friday night vibes of Troy, and Little Pecks definitely added to the atmosphere. The tables were well positioned away from each other, and the service was good. There is a lot of outdoor seating, and they make sure to sanitize between customers. Our small group ordered a couple of pizzas. Both were extremely delicious and flavorful--I'd highly recommend their pizzas. While we didn't order other types of dishes, the pastas also looked very tasty after peering at other tables. I'd highly recommend this place on a warmer day to sit outside. The food is priced decently, and it is not too expensive. Quality is great too!

Amazing food and drink and ambiance, as usual for Little Pecks. However what was unusual is the terrible service I just experienced ordering. Came into Little Pecks Saturday morning looking to grab a coffee and some food. Upon ordering I was greeted by a barista to take our order. Quite honestly I have not been spoken to that rudely in so long, and I was not the only one. Customer after customer she had the same snobby attitude and remarks. Almost makes me regret my 20% tip and hesitant to come back again.....to the barista in the headband...be nicer!!

Coffee is great. Baked goods as well. Espresso drinks are ok. Kinda weak. Otherwise cool place.

Such a cute place and super dog friendly! We had a delicious avocado toasts and coffee. They even gave our sweet goldendoodle a bowl of water and a 'pup cup'! Staff was super friendly! Highly recommend!!

Best breakfast burrito ever! Super flavorful, with this awesome jalepeno aoli. They have gluten free wraps and bread for the sensitive stomachs among us. The ambiance is beautiful. The large indoor solarium feels like you're outside while having some shade from the summer sun. The inside has a super hip but cozy interior- lots of the original history of the building shines through. We had great service - they were busy, but we got our food quickly! Can't recommend highly enough.

It's good but it's going down hill. I called to ask about a menu item and they said "we're trying to do away with customers making modifications to meals" yes I get that, cost savings. But your prices are too high to not get what you pay for. You have the ingredients on hands what makes it so challenging to put it on another plate for a cost? Who knows. They're turning snobby. Probably skip and make your coffee at home. It's cute to have a glass of wine here at night however, or read a book and people watch!

From the cute shop connected to the coffee bar at little pecks, to the beautiful patio in the back, there's a lot to love about this Troy hangout. I swung by on a Sunday afternoon and the brunch menu was available. Since it was a little late in the day, I wasn't craving eggy options, so opted for the avocado toast which was topped with cabbage, chermoula, tumeric pickles and sunflower seeds. It was unlike any avocado toast I've had, in a good way. The bread was soft and easy to cut through, while the chermoula and tumeric pickles gave a Mediterranean taste to the avo, and the cabbage and sunflower seeds provide a nice crunch. Not to mention, it was beautiful! Just check out the pics. To sip, I got a peach sparkling water in a can. Wifi is free and open. It was a little slow, but I was able to get some work done. The patio features a lot of communal tables, while the inside has smaller ones. There were also a couple of outdoor tables in front on Broadway. Whether you're looking to score some solo work time, a biz meeting, or a casual convo with friends, there's a place here for you. This is definitely a spot I could be a regular at if I lived closer. The vibe is hip but still comfortable. Couple that with some tasty food and drinks, you really can't ask for anything more!

Food was amazing but beverages were ridiculously overpriced. Great place to study and chill but don't forget your wallet (and make sure it's fat).

Super cool ambiance. A cool little corner to get away from the noise. Good coffee and breakfast sandwiches.

Tasty food. A tad overpriced for what you get though. My iced matcha and smoked salmon toast came to $20. One piece of toast. Delicious as it was, I'm not sure I'd order there again. My friend got the breakfast burrito and it was chock full of potatoes. Yummy, but mainly filler. Adorable place, abundant seating, but pricey (They added .50 for ice).

A tremendous light breakfast nook, the menu is limited but the food is incredibly fresh and delicious. The espresso drinks are created with expertise. However, I ordered a regular coffee that was bitter (they assured me it was freshly brewed, so the bean were roasted incorrectly), a deficiency I was unable to tame with sugar and cream. The breakfast burrito was delicious. The sign says Coffee Shop. It's hidden between Peck's Arcade/DiDonna's Italian Bistro, a small grocery store, Clemente Picture Framing, Lucas Confectionary; and all part of Clark House Hospitality.

I wish the food had a bit better flavor because this place is too cute! Very casual breakfast that didn't wow me at all. The workers were sweet though!

This is such a cool space to do work in. The menu is kind of limited, but has intriguing combinations on it. There is also coffee, tea, mimosas, and bakery items at the counter. The space is open, with multiple rooms indoors, outside, and in this greenhouse-y room with skylights. There is free WiFi and chill music playing, along with the quiet hustle and bustle of the kitchen. The food is pretty great as well. The breakfast burrito was just a little bland, and the French toast was delicious (it has some kind of citrus spread on it). You order at the counter, go find a nice place to sit, and someone will bring you your food. I would come back mostly for the lovely environment, and maybe to try some more brunch items.

One of the best breakfast egg biscuits I've ever had, along with a handcrafted latte. Gorgeous seating patio with the sound of a babbling brook. Wonderfully friendly staff, wish I could give 10 stars!

Beautiful location. Sat in the garden out back. Great lattes, impressive and tasty breakfast selection. People watching out front is A+. Friendly staff, expert baristas.

Beautiful cafe on a beautiful street! The restaurants and businesses on this street are amazing. I came by after a long weekend upstate looking for a nice lunch and I'm so happy I found little pecks. I tried a cold brew, breakfast granola with jam, a hearty toast with butter and more jam, and a breakfast wrap. Wow. The cafe fare is delicious. Plenty of outdoor seating. I'd love to try more breakfast and lunch, and actually anything else i can get.

They's some good brewers! Absolutely love the decor of this two story coffee house/full bar/loungatorium/eatery/swillery. Got a 3 dollar cortado that was served quickly, warmly, and packed a real nice espresso punch. It also had a little cute art on it! Besides the fact that they obviously have their coffee schwerve happenin' in a big time sorta way, the two story reconstituted decor is absolutely killer. Seriously. Killer. Such a relaxed vibe with some truly unique rooms (check out the upstairs full bar and the downstairs skylit atrium with water feature for examples) give this place a completely and totally habitable feel. Come for the coffee drinks/treats/eats and stay for the vibe. Such a great vibe. Loved the see through walk-in cooler and kitchen prep areas! Strong and free WiFi (just like 'merica!) and rooms all over the place upstairs and down, that offer either privacy or companionship, depending upon which you seek. Totally heading back to this place. If I were an RPI student, this would be one of my go-to jams as a total respite from the dorm/college grind. Yeah, get your coffee grind on here too, most def.

Perfect venue to while away some time enjoying the ambience of a casual homey cafe. The decor itself is entertaining with unique uses for wares. Servers were extremely gracious and kind. I would definitely return. The lack of 5 stars is the food . 3 of us ordered chicken salad wraps. The amount of lettuce on the wrap far exceeded the chicken salad portion which was no more than 2 tablespoons. The wrap was rubbery and cold. A very disappointing sandwich for the price. It came with chips and a stick of homemade pickled vegetables (carrot or celery) which wa very tasty. I can only think that we came in towards the end of the day when the chicken salad mix had little remaining so the cook decided to spread it out for 3 rather than let us pick another option. The breakfast dishes being delivered to tables around us looked fantastic.

Love it here! Went for my birthday last year and I come here often for breakfast such a nice spot and the esthetic is very green and filled with plants

Can't believe I haven't written a review about little pecks yet! First of all, what really makes little pecks shine is the atmosphere. Their garden is truly magical, especially during the summer when it opens up to the outside. Healthy plants everywhere and tasteful design abound. The food is delicious, too. They make a lot of things in house. You're getting smaller portions for a more expensive price than you would otherwise in Troy, but you know that you're getting great quality. Definitely try an egg and cheese on a gluten free roll! They have been using the street as an extended outdoor seating area for awhile in the summer, too, and it's always nice and refreshing to hang out in the breeze with a glass of wine. Best place for a brainstorm meeting or any other meeting!

Well. Troy is quite blessed to have this slice of heaven. So far the best vanilla latte in downtown, especially since it's made from a pink espresso machine and house made syrup. The egg biscuit is small and simple but far from ordinary. Pickles and fry sauce with a perfectly folded blanket of egg and cheese. Tahini toast is a must and have already tried to re create it at home. Lemon blueberry roll. Wow. I want to try everything on this menu.

If you're anyone that lives or goes to school near Troy, you've probably been to little pecks any crazy number of times! I've been in the Capital Region for about 8 years now for schooling, and have done too many hangouts and study sessions here to count. Location: Downtown Troy is a fun, beautiful place to have a lovely eatery like this. Little Pecks is the cafe segment of this three part business (next door, pecks arcade, is a dinner only restaurant, and on the other side of little pecks is the confectionary, which is a bar). This is in a safe part of Troy nestled between many other restaurants, and a short eye-distance walk from the river which is nice to walk along. It's quite busy in the summer and spring when the outdoor Farmer's market is happening on Saturdays. There is free unlimited weekend parking on the streets, but they added meters to many of the previously free-to-park-on streets which means now you'll have to pay during the week or park just a little farther away (there is still free street parking I can snag on a weekday, but it's only 2 hours). Food: I think the food here is just OK, it's really the ambience and location and it's being a nice place to that I come here for. I think there coffee is just OK, not the best in the area. Breakfast platters are often bland to me (the egg/veggie plate, burrito) aren't really wow-ing. I have enjoyed the egg biscuit on occasion. There menu does change throughout the year. There muffins with butter (if you ask for it, on the side) are delicious! The kale salad will fill you with that healthy glow but again, isn't AMAZING. Ambience: Little pecks has expanded it's indoor area and now there is a beautiful place just right of their main entrance that is a better lit place to study. Just past the entrance, is a dark sort of nook with many tables to study on (and near outlets). The outdoor back patio is a favorite for people to hangout or to study. There are some outlets in the back that they've added too, some in the walls and some near the planters/waterfall area, that you may need to scope out beforehand if you know you're going to need to be charging while you're there! In the winter, the back patio is closed to keep it nice and cozy inside, which they've done a better job of in more recent years. In the summer time, the door is open and it's lovely and breezy! Upstairs, there is a plethora of seating for studying or socializing. Overall a nice place to study or hang. Ambience is the main catch, food is just decent!
