This was my first time here since their renovation. It looks nice, brighter and modern. Unfortunately the same can't be said of the food.
No waiting with multiple open tables. I sat on the counter. Good selection and I was looking forward to a tasty dish as I've had in the past. But it was not to be fully realized.
The white bean soup was tasty and satisfying, good choice. Wait staff was attentive. I chose the multi cheese mac and cheese expecting a savory entree. I was disappointed! It was nothing more than alfredo sauce with the slightest hint of any cheese. I did eat it but only because I was hungry.
I am sad to say my experiences no longer encourage me to return.
Great food, friendly staff, just remodeled and very 😍
Visited Peaches this past Sunday and upon entering the cafe, the owner: Brian Dunbar’s energy felt negative. There was no greeting. He asked how many and I replied two and he showed me to a table for two in the main room and walked away without saying a waiter would be right over. After my wife arrived, we ordered and eventually the food came. About halfway through the meal, I noticed a long piece of hair that was in the food and immediately looked to get a waiter’s attention but none were visible. However , Brian Dunbar was present at the cash register and I motioned to get his attention and we made eye contact. I knew he saw me but he never acknowledged my signal. Brian finished up at the register and walked away without coming to my table to inquire about my request. About 30 seconds later, my waiter approached and inquired if I needed assistance; I informed her about the hair in the food and that we were finished. She returned with the check with the most expensive item removed from the bill. The bill was paid and I asked another waitress who was the manager and she mentioned that Brian was one of them. I waited to see if Brian was going to come and apologize for the issue but he appeared to not give a damn. So I approached him at the register but he never asked what I wanted but said one moment and walked pass me to give something to another customer. When he came back he asked, “what’s up?” I explained that I motioned for you to come over and he said, “it’s not appropriate to wave in a crisscross manner and I sent someone over “ I advised him I wanted you to come find out since he was the manager, but he quickly responded with, “I’m the owner.” I added, I’m a customer and since you’re the owner you should apologize for what happened. Brian failed to apologize and his rude unmitigated behavior was totally unacceptable and reprehensibly irresponsible. With the attitude he displayed on Sunday, June 22, it’s surprising he’s still in business. That was my 5th time patronizing the cafe and without question the food was good. But unfortunately it was my last, because Brian was not the professional business man you’d expect from such an establishment. In conclusion, the main issue was about Brian Dunbar’s attitude, because he personally could’ve handled the situation in a more dignified manner.
The new look is very nice.
Great brekfast spot in Albany, it’s a walk in place. Get the eggs Benedict or the pancakes they are great! I got the Irish eggs Benedict and enjoyed it, the pastrami was well cooked, eggs less runny, sauce was on point.

Food is plain. I had the peaches and cream waffle. The waffle is nice n fluffy with a slight crunch on the edges. The peaches were warmed, but I was expecting them to be caramelized or something, and they weren't at all. Just plain peaches warmed with regular plain cream. The lunch/brunch drinks were ehh ok. The service was nice, though. Waitress was attentive without being too attentive. My sister was in town so we were doing lots of talking. If you're looking for flavor, this isn't your place. If you're looking to do what the locals do, just because, then this is for you. I appreciated the service, but I'd probably never go back.

Pretty good experience! I ordered french toast so there's not much to be critical of. The waitress I had was so kind and very helpful! Would go again.

Every time I go to Albany, I have to stop at Peaches Cafe for a good meal. It's one of my favorite restaurants at Styvesant Plaza.

Peaches is a great place to catch up with friends. The service is very good and the food is tasty. We tried the Peaches and cream waffles. They were delicious.
Dietary restrictions: They do have the option to switch to gluten free bread, but no GF waffles.
