I LOVE this place!!!! From the living room seating area to their amazing Nitro Brew, this place is my favorite coffee spot in Peekskill- and yes, even over the other coffee shop in town! It's in the huge Dramatic Hall building and the coffee shop atmosphere is very cute they did such a great job!
Kurzhal's Staff is pleasant, friendly and prompt and always greets me with a welcoming smile. I have gotten to know a couple of them by name and they are fun to hang out with!
Their coffee: the shop took over some coffee of the former Big Bang coffee shop (which was also on Main Street), and their coffee is DELICIOUS. So is their tea (I love a good iced Jasmine Pearl on hot days) and they have an awesome selection!
The seating areas: You can sit on their couches in a separate partially closed-off section (glass windows), or you can sit at their numerous tables as well as bar style seating as you gaze out over busy Main street!
Atmosphere and Perks: They are always playing funky upbeat or relaxing music. FYI they even host Open Mics here, one for music and one for poetry, in the same month I believe (but make sure to ask for sure that it is happening and for details)! I have as yet to go and hope to go to one soon. (Cant wait!)
Location: Right across from the Town Hall and at the same intersection corner as the Library, Kurzhal's is an ideal place to stop for coffee or tea and a quick scrumptious bite to eat! I personally love their choice of cream cheese and toasted bagels- my favorite is the Scallion!- and they have deliciously soft croissants and wonderfully healthy and robust quiches!
Tips: When at the register, always make sure you ask for their hole punch card! I believe if you get 8 hole punches for each coffee or tea you get a free drink! Always make...
Read moreThe quality and strength of the coffee has fallen off of late, used to be best in town; still a decent cup. Speciality coffees are decent. Pastries VERY good and very boutique. Hot food, though limited, is exceptional. A different quieter more relaxed and peaceful atmosphere than PCH; similar atmosphere, but lighter and airier, to The Bean Runner near PCH a few blocks away. I enjoy having this place around and have NEVER had a bad experience here. (From here down is about the larger, recently renovated (and what a beautiful job of it!) former Kurzhal Hardware building, that houses the coffee shop.). Other stores and businesses at this site (including an old fashion candy store), add to the atmosphere. It's proximity to Peekskill City Hall, ' Court & Field Public Library lend gravity/traffic. Once inside building, You must see the absolutely artfully constructed concert/wedding/event hall upstairs. This was not just renovated, but re-conceived with vision and artistry creating an unexpected captivating atmosphere: It's downright spectacular with an air of French Quarter New Orleans... and something else: Take the elevator up to the top floor and give it a look (I can guarantee you won't be sorry you did '). Great to have this here, though I suspect Peekskill isn't quite ready for it yet, but this will be booked solidly within a couple of years as the city gentrifies and the...
Read moreI am out for another exploration of culinary delights. Today I found it! Kurzhals Coffee in peekskill. Let me start by saying that it has that vibe like Life Cafe did on avenue B in New York City back in the '80s ,a really cool atmosphere, nice hip music playing really understated relaxed interior. Feels oflike an artist hang out. I just finished my coconut shrimp and berry salad with really fresh greens just super tasting. Actually wanted to stay so I got back up to the counter and got myself in almond croissant and it's packed with an almond cream absolutely delicious. Super fresh and I'm having an iced latte with locally-sourced roasted beans that makes it even better. So all of you out there reading in the dark if you're interested in just having a cool afternoon relaxing and vibing with the local crowd then comet to Kurtzahls Coffee in Peekskill you really will enjoy the scene. Then guys don't forget my mantra "if it's not worth five stars then don't do it, because you're worth five stars!"so go this establishment is worth 5 stars...
