About this business
Specialties Penelope is a café, bakery, and bar. It is also a worn out welcome mat, a sandwich between frisbee, an off season beer at the Montaukett, a winter nook in Woodstock, and a home away from home. The home-style food is prepared with the best ingredients and a little creativity by a loving kitchen- it is a refreshing take on mom's recipes and is delivered to you here just the same, always with a smile and an encouragement to relax. History Established in 2003. Penelope is a café, bakery, and bar. It is ... read more

Penelope Cafe is amazing! When I went to pick my grandmother up from work she took me to Penelope's for a late lunch. It was very crowded for a Tuesday afternoon, but after eating their Joey & Jackson Chicken Pot Pie - I completely understood why!
A shortcut to that road-trip cafe you will never forget – Penelope is one of a kind, I cant put my finger on it, if its the food or if its the staff or the physical atmosphere of the place that makes eating there such a unique experience. Every time I go there I have the same feeling, in the middle of that great road trip of life, every bite of that Grilled Chicken Club, a smile from one of the Penelopee's and suddenly Im transported in to an American Beauty moment.
Great FOOD – This place is like no other in the area. Great comfortable place always busy and easily the best food option in the area. We had a blast waiting for a table and met new people outside while waiting to be seated.
Delish! – The only bad thing about this place is that during peak times there is a long wait to be seated. The food is that great! This country kitchen serves the most delicious food..great spinach artichoke dip, a spectacular chicken meatball sandwich, an addicting veggie burger...I can go on and on. And don't forget to order desert! Its way too good o pass up!
Totally a best option! – This is definitely one of my favorite brunch spots. It's literally right next to my house, so I carefully observe the massive line that begins to form every Sunday morning at 10am.
Lovely Penelope's – If you want a neighborhood place where the food is good then go to Penelope's. I am from out of town and go to New York once a year. This past weekend will be the 4th year we've had breakfast at Penelope's ... its a must on our trip. I've only been there for breakfast and there is a long wait..but come on guys, its breakfast! Get up earlier and if you're there by 9:30am a table for 4 took 20 minutes. Totally worth it for the papaya/strawberry and coconut waffles...yummmmm
Not worth the wait – I arrived at Penelope to meet some friends recently, only to be told i had to wait outside the cafe 'until my party arrived'. No problem if the place is full, but it was off-peak and i counted least four available tables. The arrogance of such a small business eludes me - so 'small town' so mean-spirited. I felt humiliated and silly. Never, never again.

Delicious Comfort Food – Penelope is our neighborhood favorite dining spot. The food is always delicious and the service friendly. Their menu changes by the season, but they've always got their amazing chicken meatball. Their brunch is also a must - definitely worth the wait! I would not hesitate to recommend this restaurant looking for a casual, low-key place to dine.
