Enjoy coming here for a latte and a bakery treat in the afternoon. It is very spacious inside with plenty of seating and natural sunlight. They have the local paper and magazines for you to enjoy as you sip/eat away. The muffins are always fresh- which is what I usually get. The staff is friendly. There is a $10 minimum to use a credit card. Although I haven't eaten lunch here before, the menu is pretty extensive. read more

By just glancing at some of the other reviews, you can imagine the sea of bicycle shorts that is the Runcible Spoon. The menu is extensive, and pretty much everything is delicious. I especially love the frozen cappuccino drinks. If you are a fan of the comedian Louis CK, you might remember his bit about how much he loves going to independent coffee shops, because the people behind the counter are always so EXCITED about HELPING you, and making your drink to perfection! Like a magical, alchemy project that ends in delicious, foamy wonder. Well...that's not how I'd describe the service at the Runcible. The staff is all totally capable (I've never had a bad experience with the end result of my order) but they are all embittered for some reason. It's "service with a stink-face." I understand it though - I don't want to make a coffee for me either. That's why I went to the Runcible. read more

This is the midway point on our bike rides on the weekends.. And sight of this place makes my heart skip. Partly b/c I know we're halfway done and partly b/c I know there are smoothies/sandwiches and desserts for my consumption should I choose. The smoothies are perfect after a long, hot day bike ride and they are large enough, I don't even really need to eat anything. But in case I am hungry, I can get either a half sandwich/wrap or a full one based on how hard of a ride it's been. Price wise, a large smoothie runs about $6 and a half sandwich about $3. Add a water and I've just had lunch for just over $10. This place is great for bikers as they've generously put out two large bike racks out front. Having said that, there are plenty of locals as well, attesting to the quality of the food here. It's not anything outstanding but it's a good spot to stop at. read more

This place *is* a cyclist watering hole. In fact, I moved to Nyack with fond memories of cycling to the Runcible. It is a bit different since they've changed hands, but the food is still pretty good. Lines are often long and their servers get confused sometimes. Overall, decent, but there are definitely better bakeries in town, better coffee, and better deli food. What makes this place stand apart is the bike racks and the free water cooler for cyclists. If you're an average joe, there's better food in town, but this place isn't too bad either. Their panini's are worth a try and their coffee is decent, although they are definitely *not* pro baristas. read more

Food tasted stale and staff was blah.... the worst part was there were a million bikes blocking the door and it all.made for an unpleasant experience read more

Great spot to stop if you're cycling. Coffee, baked goods, healthy snacks, and even half sandwiches will help refuel you without weighing you down. There are racks outside to park your bike and a water cooler to refill your bottle (on the weekends). Prices do seem a tad high, but I suppose its a convenience fee. read more

If I could give less I would gladly do so. I Understand that this year is a tough holiday season for business and people, as I can relate as i work in the industry. But for a business employee to insult someone is another thing. My sister who's currently home after not being home for two years as she serving in the US Army, wanted to stop here today to have a breakfast at her favorite bakery. Not only did she get up very early to make sure the family got some fresh baked goods, but she went out of her way to walk down and surprise us. Upon entering she was questioned as if she was homeless? I'm not sure why that's a question you would ask a paying customer, or why you'd judge someone for how they are dressed. For her to deserve that disrespect is awful and terrible. Whoever made that comment should be ashamed as not only did you disrespect a loyal patron, you disrespected a US Army Solider. Words can't describe how much I see red right now with this business. Hope whoever made those comments has a great day, because you've now made a new family joke in the house. Never coming back. read more

What happened to this wonderful bakery? I'll tell you, the family that originally owned this spot sold it to Ms. Kim. After getting rid of all the original bakers and staff, this unbelievably rude women ran it into the ground. I would never support this store again unless I see a sign that says under new management. The food is gross. It went from great and delicious to skimping ingredients. Baked goods tasted stale and expired. There is no customer service. The woman is just curt, rude and always looking for a fight. read more

love this place went yesterday with me and my friends on track bikes one with road bike and we got nothing more then a friendly experience I been going for 1 year and I have to admit then 40 mile ride from bushwick Brooklyn NY is so with it LOVE THE AVOCADO WRAP read more

Just tried a creation that a girl behind the counter called a combination of Cinnamon Bun & Croissant. She was right on the money with that description. It was slightly crusty on the outside with loads of cinnamon sugar and soft in the middle like a croissant. It was large and messy but sinfully good. read more

I rarely go here. Don't know why. However, they serve some pretty good pastries. Prices are reasonable.

Totally over rated. This place is in business solely because it has become a must stop for cyclists coming up from NYC (not sure why). There baked goods always seem old, the same goes for their food. Coffee is mediocre at best. Their are far better options while in Nyack either shopping or cycling thru. read more

Muffins, scones,and coffee! When I ride hard, and that is all I can think of. Bicycle parking and outdoor seating. I have never had a bad thing to eat there. A must stop for cyclists. The spoon is the spot! read more

I have fond experiences of this place as a kid. However in recent years it has taken a turn for the worse. Cookies never taste fresh, I am always disappointed by the muffins and it often seems to be dirty to me. read more

I've always passed by this place, but never ventured in until last weekend, when I needed to write a paper and the nearby Starbucks was overflowing with people. When I came in there were a couple of other people inside -- a lady on her laptop working on some writing, and a family next to us. The coffee was pretty good, and priced slightly cheaper than Starbucks. I stayed in there for a couple of hours and while there was constant flow of people, it never got too crowded. The barista and the other staff members seemed friendly. Will definitely head back there again when I'm home for break and working on my thesis for next semester. read more

I really loved this place when I lived back in Rock O' Land. Although it increasingly kept getting more and more pricey as the years went on. Still. The pastries and coffee are delicious! And there's nice sun-streaked chairs and tables to sit at and sip your cup a joe and read the paper. If you're into that sort of thing... read more

My boyfriend and I stopped in for a sandwich and some snacks. The sandwiches, from what I can remember, were average. They had the cold, pre-made thing going for them. Nothing special. read more

People have said it changed with the ownership, but I think its fine. You can get a really good muffin here for $2.50. They are really big and filling. They have pretty nice sandwich half's. Prices are sort of up there though. Cakes and stuff are expensive. read more

As far as coffee shop rides go, I never have a bad time hitting the Runcible Spoon. They are so courteous to cyclists which is great and they have loads of bike parking. They also provide water outside which is awesome. The food I would say is okay, not great, not terrible, and the prices are slightly high I suppose but not egregious. I do prefer stopping in Piermont mainly because then I don't have to ride back as far after my snack, but I never turn down the Spoon. read more

Packed with people who have come there on bicycles and are very proud of it. If you're the kind of person who defines yourself by mode of transport, and if that mode of transport is very slow and impractical and incapable of transporting other people or luggage and has two wheels, then you'll like this place. Also, if you like egg sandwiches made with microwaved eggs then it'll be right up your street. Otherwise, i wouldn't bother if I were you. read more

There is just not much to recommend this place. I really wish it was good. It is right near my new home. It has outdoor seating. Always interesting conversation going on outside. BUT the pastries are both bad and expensive. The coffee is bad too. I drink decaf so maybe the regular coffee was better. I have been twice now and have been underwhelmed both times. I see no reason to return. read more

Cute little spot but honestly, my latte and pastry were awful. The espresso was stale and the milk seemed to be skim (aka water). The croissant muffin hybrid pastry I had was tough and dry. I've heard this place has a legacy in Nyack, but they need to reevaluate their product. read more

This bakery has been around for years and it is always busy on the weekends. My sister and I stopped in for something sweet. It was ok. Not sure I would waste the calories again. Their sandwiches look really good. They have a huge variety. Maybe it was what I ordered. The cupcake was too cold didn't taste fresh. Maybe they should keep them out. Don't get me wrong I are the whole thing but for the calories it should have been fresher. read more

The name says it all. A runcibile spoon is a spork with an attitude just like this place is a bakery with an attitude. Always willing to drive a bit out of the way for a special treat, my son and I drove over the Tappan Zee to try out a morning bun. It was ok- though nothing like the raves I read on this site. Definitely not the 'combined croissant and cinnamon bun' described. Not a smile was wasted on customers by the surly employees who seemed to resent anyone who entered the shop or dared to ask for a paper plate. The food we tried isn't bad but surely not worth the attitude. read more

This place is hit or miss. They get supremely busy on the weekends -- hordes of adult bikers congregate here to eat. The food can be really good on some days and blah on others. I'm not sure the food here is that fresh. Some of the baked goods tasted stale and even the ingredients used in the panini tasted a bit aged. The baked goods are decent, not awesome but not horrible. The service is okay. I would support this place because it is a local small business owner but it's sort of blah in terms of the actual food and baked goods. There are better places in Nyack. They do have ample seating indoors and limited seating outdoors so that can be nice for people. The ambience isn't great so don't expect to bring a date here to seduce them. read more

Morning buns! Have loved this place since HS and the coffee, food, and ambiance is still the same. Please don't even change!

Popular with cyclists. Accept credit card minimum $10 charge. Food was a-ok. Not fresh nor filling. The big hype was the roomful of colorful spandex we walked in, the Colnagos nd the Cervelos and all kind of high end bicycles crowding the three racks in the front, and the vibe. read more

This place is top notch. Everything is made on premises. The muffins are simply outstanding . They also offer a variety of sandwiches and salads for lunch . No surprise that the bike riders make this one of their prime stop off places read more

Paninis and sandwiches are pre made. I get that. I don't get why I can't add cheese or a spread to one still. Just open it up and put the slice of cheese on. Nope. That's impossible. read more

the only thing i get when i'm here is a banana and gatorade. they taste like what it's supposed to taste like! so i'm happy! aside from that, never had their coffee or food. just to warn you, during the weekend, this place is like a bike snob watering hole. (i myself included) read more

Several negative experiences. Eggshell in an egg salad wrap, stale cupcakes, and ordered a yogurt smoothie but she took the yogurt out and it was moldy, they didn't have any more. I know it's good they didn't give it to me, but grossed me out that they have moldy stuff in their fridge. I have had a couple good pastries there. read more

Great memories of coming here on Sunday's for a cookie and pastries as a kid. Profession bikers are always taking over the cafe (not in a bad way). It's a great place for a coffee or a snack. It gives off a homey vibe and the service is great! read more

Delicious muffins, bad service. They need better (and kinder) people behind the counter. Was a short line this morning but the young lady behind the counter took forever and didn't look up to at least greet people, or say, "hi, it'll just be a minute". It's nice to at least acknowledge people who are waiting. read more

Great pastries. Friendly staff. Wide variety of different kinds of foods. Great for lunch. Very good coffee. Wide variety of beverages to choose from. read more

Bikers in tight padded bike shorts come here from the city on the weekend in droves. It's like, The Spot. I haven't ever seen so many thousand dollar bikes in one spot since... well, ever. But also they have delicious H&H-esque bagels, pastries, coffee, and a bathroom (hence the bikers, I believe). Also gotta give props for a good name. What the heck is Runcible, anyway? (you can find the answer posted in the store. or google if you must). read more

This place has gone completely downhill! The help don't know anything! I ordered a low fat cranberry muffin off the menu board. The woman at the counter didn't know what a low fat muffin meant! Ultimately she told me they didn't have any cranberry muffins (even though it was on the menu board). This place used to be good - now it's terrible. Somebody dropped the ball here! Don't bother - there are better places in Nyack. read more

If you love the whole Nyack atmosphere and cafes, you'll likely enjoy it here. It is expensive though, too expensive. but the pastries have never disappointed me, i always take a few home too. I'd say the tea and coffee are average good. I haven't had a problem with the cyclists either, i pretty much expect cyclists in both piermont and nyack. read more

Arrived at the spoon to fuel up after a great bike ride this morning from NYC. What cyclist doesn't love this kind of friendly rest stop in a quiet town where you can park your bike safely and enjoy a cup of joe and a muffin. This place easily deserves 5 stars for hospitality, convenience, and for being a great place to meet other people read more

Great little bakery/cafe. They have half sandwiches and wraps if you just want a little to eat. They have a good assortment of pastries and sweets as well. Bike parking outside is a nice touch. read more

This is a cycling Mecca. You will meet cyclists from all over the world stopping by for a panini, scone, cookie, oatmeal, coffee etc. The food is really good and quick to get in and out. Great place to sit outside and people watch. There is a water bowl outside for your dog. read more
