    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.

    Can't really get much better.

    Come for the coffee and breakfast, stay for the back room. But seriously...I have, more than once now, found myself sitting in the backroom of Little Pecks for 2+ hours sipping delicious coffee, reading, and getting work done. The ambiance of warm sun, combined with the brick walls, plants, and subtle sound of running water makes for an elite experience. The coffee is sourced from Tandem coffee roasters based out of Portland, ME, which is a roaster that I have found never disappoints. Drip is excellent, and the espresso beverages are always well made (I recommend a cortado or an espresso tonic). Food options are spot on as well. The vegan breakfast burrito is top notch (no, i'm not vegan...but that doesn't matter), and the breakfast sandwich on a biscuit is fantastic. This spot really checks all the boxes. Definitely worth a drop in (or an afternoon in the backroom) if you're from or in the area.

    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.

    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.

    Ambiance was nice but the coffee and latte were watery. The egg items were greasy, recommend cooking with butter.

    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.

    Breakfast Burrito with avocado and bacon

    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.

    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!

    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!

    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.

    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.

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

    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!

    Is this kid friendly?

    Absolutely! My kids especially love the brownies and hot chocolate. But it's a café for well behaved kids, as it wouldn't be a safe place to let little ones run around unattended.

    Is this a good place to study? Wifi? Outlets?

    I'm always surprised more people don't take advantage of this space for work/study. The wifi is free (and generally reliable) and there are outlets downstairs in the cafe section.…

The sitting space if I'm being honest is kind of tight with chairs backed up against the display divider for the line/counter ordering area.

The counter person was delightful no complaints. Explained the drinks and didn't rush us. We came later morning on Saturday, most of the bakery items were sold out. But what we got was amazing, a nice mixture of scones, perfection. I appreciated the mixture of small morsels, it included flavors that I would not have tried otherwise. I got a cream brûlée latte as suggested classic with a hint of sweetness, standard with double shot of espresso. My wife got a mocha variety definitely much richer. The art on top was also a nice highlight. As other reviews mentioned prices were not listed but this is definitely a specialty place so expect a higher price than a pump your own coffee express station. But also I rather give my money to a local place than a huge mass marketed place thats serving half the quality.
