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

What a nice change of pace. – I've been living in New York for about three years now and let me tell you, it's great to find a place like Penelope where I can escape for a while. The decor is calming, the food is comforting, and, given the opportunity, their staff eagerly remembers a repeat customer... and sometimes even how you like your burger done up! I discovered the place about a year and a half ago and have gone in probably at least twice a week since. The prices, thankfully, match the feeling that you're in a small Ne... read more
Great little spot for a quick, yummy bite – This is a great place to grab a light dinner. The sandwiches and salads are delicious. I'm told the desserts are as well but I haven't had the opportunity to try them yet! The service leaves a little to be desired, but the ambiance and food surely make up for it! And it's cheap, too.
great little place – I went there the first time because someone told me the food was great and inexpencive. I keep going back because I agree with them.
Cute and crowded, but don't be fooled – Encouraged by the long weekend lines and streetside chalkboard menu featuring Nutella french toast, we had been looking forward to bruch at Penelope. This morning we finally made it over to discover that the best part of the experience was the anticipation of good food. The reality was that we each paid $11 for some of the most mediocre breakfast food I've ever had the displeasure of eating. My poached egg with ham and fontina was one piece of tasteless sourdough bread, two eggs "poach... read more
One of Our Favorite Little Spots – My girlfriend and I continually come back to this charming little restaurant. An associate of ours (who happens to be a waiter) bragged so much that we came, we saw, we ate... and we became repeat clients. ;-) Great place for two... or even a group. We frequently have dinners with friends here. Favorite dishes? All of their salads and their mac and cheese. Fav Desserts? ALL OF THEM!
Super Cute!! – This place is super cute and the waitstaff give off a very relaxed comfortable vibe. Nice little menu. I've tried most of the menu and really like the food. The mac&cheese is good, and the green apple sandwich is tasty.
cute? kitsch midwest. – I went with a friend. The decor reminded of that really annoy aunt that lives in the midwest. We went at night when the place had candles on every table that were brighter than the bulbs over head. I sat facing my friend and he sat against the blue wall. All this and wine cut down on the decor. The food was really great and cheap. It seems like a haven for single men with books. You are allowed to seat yourself and one of the single men sat next to us. I didn't mind as he wasn't intrusive in the least... read more
Cute little brunch spot – I found Penelope's to be a charming little brunch place with GREAT FOOD! We had the Pesto Egg Sandwich (*TO DIE FOR*) and the Nutella French Toast. All delicious. Plus, I enjoyed a nice cup of coffee while I waited 10 minutes for our table. Also reasonably priced! Definitely worth bringing your friends to brunch here!
my favorite – In a neighborhood overrun with lame chain restaurants, this is absolutely the best place to eat in the area. The food is always excellent, the service is wonderful, and it is SO CHEAP. The most expensive thing on the menu is the hamburger, which is $8.50. {they recently added some seafood items to their menu for the summer, so now the lobster roll is the most expensive, at $14.00} We eat there at least twice a week. It's the BEST.
