Westchester Diner

Located in a downtown area, place is pretty big, with a lot of cool seating. Woman working behind the counter was friendly and worked me through their coffee choices. I went with their house dark roast, they roast their own beans. They also use real mugs for customers that are staying to enjoy the coffee. That really adds to the experience. Coffee was delicious, cafe was a great place to sit and relax. I would gladly return!

There are signs outside by the parking "1 hour parking". What if it takes them 40 minutes before they realize you're NOT waiting for the Metro North train! Which has its own waiting area. Didn't know if I was supposed to order at the counter, where there were a few people floating around by the cash register, and they would bring it to me, or a waitperson would eventually show up. Part of the problem is they have two outdoor seat areas, a bar area, a bistro area, and a main dining room, that has to be covered. They also sell a lot of small items to people getting off at the Metro North train station. The portions are smaller than expected. The steak sandwich comes with fries, but some pickles and coleslaw would be a nice addition; because there's not much meat in it. Even trying to settle the bill as a major operation. I definitely would not return.

3/18/2025: I sincerely hope to return back on here to give an updated review!…read moreLet's start with the easy positives: parking is NEVER an issue as you have an entire lot sharing that of Stop n Shop. Food is always served in a timely manner. It is served hot and flavorful. Now,onto the negatives: I know everyone has a not so great start of the workday/morning, but our server today named M*r** gave us the impression that she didn't want to be there. I cannot EVEN call it "businesslike or professional". She didn't offer any words back other than what was spoken to her. No "good morning" no smile, and never ONCE checked our table to even see a simple thing as a coffee refill. The busboy was the opposite accommodating one who gave the coffee and the take-out box that we needed. When we asked him, he gladly helped us. It didn't stop there! Now onto the male, who I've never seen before, cashier. Didn't say a word during the ring up. Matter of factly handed the receipt and the pen for my signature. Still saying nothing. Here I'm paying the establishment patronizing Pastels --- finally a delayed low tone "thank you" as I gave the receipt back. Ok, yes, you're doing your job. In a TIME where it is difficult to both find and retain a job, at least act like you want to be there. We felt almost regrettable for have chosen Pastels today. Future orders when we decide to have their food again will be via DoorDash etc to avoid same, for now Not a pleasant experience today.

BeanRunner Café - A Peekskill Gem!…read more I've been to BeanRunner many times, and it continues to be one of those unique spots in Peekskill that has its own personality and vibe. This time I stepped away from my usual order and tried the Mediterranean Salad, and I'm glad I did! It comes topped with grilled chicken and is served with pita slices and hummus. Everything worked together perfectly--it was fresh, flavorful, filling, and just really good! My usual go-to, though, is The Hurdle--turkey, bacon, Gouda cheese, sesame ginger dressing, lettuce, and tomato on panini bread. I definitely customize mine : no tomato, extra bacon, no dressing, and I prefer it cold instead of hot. So good! I also had a mocha with an extra espresso shot and extra chocolate , while my daughter and my mom enjoyed breakfast. What really makes BeanRunner special is the atmosphere. You can sit inside or outside, and the whole place gives me a cool Brooklyn lounge/café feel. Inside, you have beautiful authentic brick walls, plants thoughtfully placed throughout the seating areas, and curated artwork displayed on the walls--some of which is even available for purchase. Smooth jazz and R&B playing in the background just adds to the vibe. They cater to and strongly support local artists and musicians which is very cool! There's also a back patio, a quieter separate seating room away from the main floor, and outdoor seating with umbrellas. The outdoor area gives me a little Fort Greene/Lafayette triangle vibe, which I really enjoy. And BeanRunner is more than just a café. They have live music on weekends, and from what I'm told, they have a GOOD time! They also host poetry slams and open mics, which adds even more character to the place. They serve desserts and smoothies too, so there's plenty beyond coffee and sandwiches. The location is tucked back on Esther Place in Peekskill, across from the large Assumption Church building, and that may honestly be BeanRunner's biggest disadvantage. I truly believe that if this place weren't so tucked away, they'd be packed every day. Great food, great coffee, beautiful atmosphere, music, art, plants, indoor and outdoor seating--BeanRunner has a little bit of everything. Definitely a Peekskill spot worth discovering! 5 stars from me!

Even though I'm rating this at 3 stars, I'd really like to go back here and give it another try…read more Went with a group and we all got different things -- but one thing we all agreed on is that the food is heavy and in some cases greasy. If that's your thing, then 4+ stars! Will also give a big thumbs up to the decor -- loved what was on the walls and the floors looked like they'd recently been redone. Various dishes our group had included a breakfast sandwich with sausage; an omelette, which was probably the healthiest option of what folks got; a cheeseburger; someone else got a French dip kind of sandwich. French fries were fought over -- so also a thumbs up for them. Again, I was the outlier in our group and in other reviews so I do plan to return to give it another chance. Check out the menu and other reviews and maybe you'll give it four or more stars!

The chicken tacos are my absolute favorite. They're well seasoned, juicy, and never dry. Pair them with the chips and house made guacamole (definitely not store bought), and you've got a perfect meal. I also recommend the chicken burrito, which is huge, flavorful, and satisfying every single time. The prices are very affordable, and the portions are generous. You really get your money's worth here. Whether you're grabbing takeout or sitting down for a casual meal, the atmosphere is warm and welcoming. The staff is always friendly and helpful, which just adds to the charm. This place is a hidden gem, and I can't recommend it enough to anyone in the area or just passing through. If you're looking for authentic Mexican food in Peekskill, this is the spot.

Best part - Tarranova toast for dipping the tasty broth ($29) Our great waiter suggested the smashed fried potatoes with creamy dip. For $15 they will feed 2-4 adults. The wine and beer (excellent value - the Continue Italian Pilsner on draft) were reasonably priced. My only complaint is the 3% credit card charge before tax. Bring cash. Fin & Brew is a winner.

I am sad that it isn't the same owners. I went for breakfast on a Sunday, asked for a ham and cheese omelette with a side of bacon (the keto eater that I am) and the waiter came out with a plain egg omelette with a side of bacon. He went back and practically pulled a ham and cheese omelette out of thin air for me to eat. The omelette was good, but the bacon was hard, flat, and tasteless. I am disappointed because I loved this spot. I also heard that they are not open 24 hours like most diners are and the former one was. I've been trying other diners out instead. Sorry guys, not so great anymore. read more

We got chicken tenders which were missing the fries as shown in the photo (extremely misleading). Chicken was all breading and the small portion of chicken we actually got to was very dry. We also got the nachos (VERY soggy) and the beef tasted like the night before. I finally got to the cookie, which was very visually appealing so I thought, no way they mess this up right ? WRONG. Stale , hard, and tasted like a store bought cookie. I'm very disappointed, never again. read more

The only downside is that they don't take reservations for brunch, but trust me, the wait is SO worth it. We started with the mimosa flight, which came with a generous pour and several delicious flavors. Two things I look for in a good brunch: variety and a little buzz, this delivered! I ordered the steak Caesar salad, and the steak was juicy, well-seasoned, and paired perfectly with the delicious potato fries. My best friend enjoyed her steak and eggs as well.

They have a program to text when your table was ready, so we went for a walk in the neighborhood while we waited. A surprisingly short time later, we received the text that our table was ready! The menu(s) had a wonderful selection of food and drinks, along with some specials. They do use a QR code for their menus, but noticed they also had paper menus upon request. Our server was friendly and attentive. The other members of staff would also check in as they passed by. My boyfriend enjoyed the PB & J Latte along with the creole shrimp Benedict. He said it was seasoned well, right level of spice, stated the eggs were poached perfectly, and really enjoyed how moist the cornbread was. I indulged with the "Tipsy Palmer" which is an Arnold Palmer with Bourbon in it. To be honest, there wasn't much of a bourbon taste to it, if any at all, but for a summer brunch drink, it was refreshing. For my entree, I chose the chicken Caesar sliders. To be honest, I was a bit disappointed as the brioche buns seemed a little on the stale/stiff side. The homemade caesar dressing was delicious, but they only coated the lettuce in it which resulted in a bit of a dry slider. I believe the sliders would benefit from a bit of the dressing at least on the bottom of the bun. I asked for (and received) a side of the dressing to bring home to dress up my remaining sliders. Lastly, and I know this is extremely minor, but the silverware was placed incorrectly (knife and fork reversed with the knife edge in the wrong direction). Again, I am WELL AWARE this is minor, but for me, sometimes the minor details are the things that stand out. Overall, a wonderful experience and will try them again at a later date.
