Bean Runner Cafe Review

Great spot for lunch and coffee. Very friendly staff and great service. A relaxing atmosphere.

Great place, nice food, unbelievable live jazz band place!

Great place, but their hours aren't good, they need to open earlier

Excellent coffee and food, great atmosphere, and they were giving you free homemade masks! Will definitely be back for the live music sometime

Had a great family 50th birthday party catered there

My husband and I enjoyed a lovely lunch dining in their outdoor area. We both had a panini each which was DELICIOUS! The Pythian Hurdle was soooo good and I highly recommend it. The staff are also very friendly. Can t wait to come back and also catch a live band one day (when covid is no longer).

Excellent night of jazz music. I love the intimacy of this place. I Always have a great time when ever I go.

Class act. First time last Saturday to hear a Cuban jazz trumpeter and his group, who were fabulous musicians - did a Charlie Parker-Azvenour mash-up, among other things. Owner gets huge props for bookings like that.

I came a little late, but I was treated first class, and given a great table. The French Chardonnay is OK, a little pricey - but hey, your squatting if you're not building a little tab.

Don't ask them to cook anything if you're fussy - it's real plain food.

Bean Runner is a great little cafe, the owners and staff are lovely and a real asset to the community.

The food is delicious and of you need breakfast food in you life this is the place.

We came for a friends son's singing debut, an event put on by his singing coach.
The debut was very enjoyable with 10 or 11 participants and we really enjoyed their performances.

There is live Jazz on Friday and Saturday nights and we might stop by for a glass of wine.

Such a wonderful place. Great live music, excellent food and service along with a warm and inviting atmosphere!

Great food, fast service, laid back atmosphere where you can chat with friends, family or neighborhood pals all while listening to music day or night!

Love, love, LOVE this place!!! The coffee... the art.... the cool vibe. Check it OUT!!!

Owned and operated by a local, long time peekskill family. A beautiful historic building with enclosed patio out back and a combo kid friendly playroom/lounge area. Peaceful setting, simple foods, VERY good coffee, excellent egg sandwich/breakfast special. Best soup in town, excellent wraps (all of which can be made in a GF wrap or in lettuce wrap), many healthy options. Downright fantastic live music performances on Friday and Saturday. Decent basic beer and wine selections. Likeable, personable staff; friendly owners are frequently present. One of the least expensive "dinner and a show" nights out in peekskill.

A local coffee shop with excellent food. Also good service and not to be forgotten wonderful live music.

Nice locally owned shop. Friendly people. The good is good, too. I meet clients here often.

Great place for breakfast omelet. Good coffee. I like that there are magazines available for diners. 5-stars given based on comparison with other places in Peekskill and neighboring towns only

Good coffee served quickly.
Can't ask for much more.
Music was very good and lively

Great local place for a breakfast or a light lunch. Cozy atmosphere with brick walls and small tables. Wonderful homemade soup and cheescake. Entertainment in the evening covers a variety of genres with quite a bit of outstanding jazz. Changing exhibit of local artists on the wall.

Nice place with an excellent hot coco. Never had a better one anyplace. Food is not to my taste though and when I was there I didn't find they had a large selection.

Great owners. Community minded. Fantastic musical performances.

My first time at the Bean Runner Cafe n I enjoyed it very much, the wine was good n the wrap that I order was very which was The Stadium n the Jazz group was great brought a CD

By far the best Bacon Egg & Cheese sandwich I ve had in Peekskill. The service is great as well. I also got the banana mango smoothie and it was delicious as well. Not sweet but perfect. Will come again!

French toast with strawberries and cream cheese was so good!

I have been coming here for a couple of years and all thanks to Gina! Gina is the best!! I love the ambiance of this place but also love being able to show up in the morning and not having to say what I want because of someone like Gina who remembers my drink and food orders! She even remembers how I like my drinks and makes them exactly how I love them. This place is awesome and so thankful for their staff! Thanks for all of your help Gina.

The best small venue for jazz, R&B, and World Music in Northern Westchester. An affordable menu of Caribbean inspired fare and American favorites awaits you.

Great live music and service, definitely a must go when in peekskill!!

First time here. Heard about it from a friend. I loved the food.

Very sweet New England club or pub. Live music. Staff was .most hospitable.

Casual, artsy atmosphere, a nice selection if beverages and cafe fare, and frequent live music makes the Bean Runner a great hang. Always fun to be here.

For a little cafe it has it all good food, live music and great atmosphere

Nice spot for coffee and food, nice folks working there.

The best place for music. Good is good too!
Jazz and more!

Awesome music and fresh food ....great atmosphere and attentive proprietors....highly recommended....lots of great music....Jazz...Reggae....you name it....love it

Absolutely loved everything about this place. The perfect Mommy date spot!!!

Good Soups and Sandwiches. Live Music frequently. Very Family Friendly with kids play area

Nice place
Not rushed food good

Really nice people that work there. They are really amazing at accommodating my food allergies. The smoothies are perfect and made with the almond, soy or milk to meet your dietary needs. Great music on the weekends.

I was here for salsa with friends and family. it was a great outing. Sandwiches were great and the atmosphere was great.

Excellent food, good quick service. I got the breakfast sandwich on ciabatta roll. Very good!

I came here on a Friday night when they had live music playing. The live music was very good , but it was $15 a head to even stay. My group went in for coffee and to sit down late at night, not even to see live music so it was a little frustrating that we had to leave because we couldn't afford to watch the live music that we didn't come to see specifically. The coffee was very good, the cappuccino was a little burnt, but they remade it very well. Service was fast considering the amount of people they were serving. Coffee prices were very good, like 3.5 for a latte made right.

This place has great music and great people who come to enjoy the music and each other

Great food, chill atmosphere in the heart of the Artist and Historic District of Peekskill!!! I love their Open Mics!!! Perfect place for ANY occasion: even for business meetings. Try their London Fog!!!!

Great coffee, super nice people, great space, place for kids, non-corporate.

Received $40 change from a hundred for a sandwich. Said register wasn't cleared. I was the only person in the place. Service was still cold and terrible.

I think this just wasn't the right spot for me. It seems like they have a full menu but I was just looking for a coffee spot. The coffee wasn't great. The daytime atmosphere was quiet at the shop, I thought perfect for reading a book and sipping a drink but the very loud smooth jazz recordings they were playing was very distracting. Maybe on a night I'm looking for dinner and live music it would work out, but not a chill afternoon coffee spot.

Was just traveling through town (am not a local) and came upon this little gem of a place. Super friendly, helpful and kind. Place is so cute and quirky inside. Food was very yummy. Must get the Peanut Butter Blast Smoothie if you like peanut butter! And if you forget a mask during these covid-19 times they will supply you with the cutest homemade masks. You should definitely stop by if you're in the area. It was raining when I went but if it's nice weather they have a little street blocked off to cars right in front where you can sit and eat outside

Great live music, dancing, good modest food. A great night out.

I really love this little coffee shop! The staff is very friendly and the food is really good. I had the best gyro here and the warm chocolate chip cookies are awesome! Coffee is really good and the atmosphere is relaxing. They have music on Saturday nights for a minimal cover charge. Perfect local hangout!

The cozy atmosphere reminds me of the village without going all the way to the city. The diversity and caliber of jazz musician you can not top for the mere $10.00 admission charge. The food is both comforting and tasty. Most importantly the welcoming sense of family allows you to relax and enjoy life.

The selections are tasty, the coffee was good, and tonight (Saturday) they had a jazz band playing that brought in a good crowd.

Cute little cafe with live music some evenings. Paintings by locals hang on the walls lending an artsy feel.. The coffee is average. The French toast with cream cheese and strawberries was tasty. Service is friendly.

The place where jazz rules in the Hudson River Valley

A Peekskill hometown original. Ted Bitter and Drew Claxton are the best there is!
Music venue, Art Venue and community meeting space, this is the place to be for good coffees, teas, etc and great soups and sammies. Now with expanded outdoor seating on closed Esther St Park!

The perfect casual place for a bite to eat and a drink. Displays art from local artists. Offers live music & cocktails at night.

Nice vibe, great staff, beautiful art, awesome live music, great coffee

Dining in was okay.... I had the French toast, nothing to rave about. Also portions are super small, which could be why the price is so affordable (not complaining about that).

Great coffee though, and I love getting their Bacon/egg/cheese to go!

This service here was horrible and unprofessional. Manager is very nasty. Treats employees terrible and owner does nothing about it. Food is disgusting and they have bugs in the kitchen. BEWARE!!! Do not eat here.

This is my third time here and the people are awesome. Great entertainment and audience. Food is healthy and tasty.

My business group meets there twice a month - friendly and good tasting grub.

One of the best venues for Jazz in the area. Food is not great but you really don't notice it.

I visited this cafe for the playroom they advertise on the website. It has degraded over time, and is now a few random toys in a separate space from the main cafe. This does the job when you need a few moments to drink your coffee, but they should reinvest in their playspace if it is something they are going to advertise.

Great atmosphere and excellent food and drink. Loved the jazz performance that night.

Ted and the team at the Bean Runner are so accomodating. Just ran a business event there and they did an awesome job. Great food, awesome service. Gina is the best.

Wonderful intimate cafe, great staff, great live music!

Great place. Good food and drink. Seen a great band play there Sunday night called "All Types Of Kinds" and they killed it.

This is a super cozy place with the best music variety. Food is also good. It is a good idea to make reservations especially when they have a band. Service is excellent.
