Sometimes it’s nice to find a beautiful eating/cafe experience in an industrial- chic- artisan - and down to earth - location such as Gowanus in Brooklyn … and Runner and Stone is such an experience. The food and ambience is pure art and simply DELICIOUS. My friend and I meandered over on a sunny late morning and stepped into a gourmet heaven. There’s a sandwich menu on the wall with lovely choices, a bar with pastries and various food items. There’s bread, coffee, coolers with salads and drinks … wine for sale … tables here and there. (Yes it is humane and there is a restroom).
We were there for a quick lunch and chat and it was lovely seeing a steady stream of people getting items to go and shopping for gourmet grocery items.
It seems like it has dinner too and would definitely like to try that real soon!
Thank you Runner and Stone.

Wow the food and service are incredible. The bread is artisanal. Such a gem in Brooklyn. Highly highly recommend. Incredible wine list too! And they have a garden where they grow their own vegetables and flowers!

We came at 8am, when they were just taking the pastries out of the oven. We had a chocolate croissant, and a regular croissant. Both had the perfect texture (despite being a bit cold), with all the layers detaching easily, as it should be. Taste and depth of flavor could go from good to excellent if they used French butter, which I’m 80% sure is the main improvement point.
Cappuccino was excellent 👌

This place is amazing. Not just for pastries and breads / lunch , but a secret spot for dinner with the best food. The fried chicken is better then Buttermilk Chanel , pastas , fish , appetizers are all just splendid. Natasha who works there is the best !!

I had their casserole with latte. Food are nice, waiter is friendly. They have more seats downsdownstrs. The canele has a hard cover and very moisture texture inside. Its $3 for each. Plain croissants are crispy. The wheat bread also has a hard skin. Overall I'll say their bread are more baked but I like it.

I’m obsessed with this place. I often come to pick up something for lunch. Everything I have eaten from here has been delicious, and very reasonably priced. The lentil soup is blowing my mind. Can’t wait to try more sandwiches.

Out walking on a rainy Friday night while in town for a wedding and happened upon this lovely little restaurant for a bite to eat. Natasha recommended a fabulous wine after allowing me a taste (a vermentino - new to me) and then suggested the ricotta and tomato salad to start. Fantastic! Then I ordered the Hudson Valley Steelhead Trout. Delicious. All the while, Natasha made me feel like a regular and a friend. I highly recommend a visit. Say hello to Natasha for me!

Incredible good blueberry and barley (buckwheat? I can't remember) bread last week. Firm crust but inside was slightly chewy and blue berries were wonderful.

Came here for breakfast, service was great and quick. Pastries were delicious. Croissant was light, airy, fluffy and buttery. The chocolate croissant had the same texture but with a nice dark contrast of the chocolate inside without being too sweet. The apple turnover was delicious!!! The filling wasn't overly sweet and nice bold flavour of apple and cinnamon. And the monkey bread was also nice with a hint of cinnamon

Runner and Stone was our go-to brunch spot pre-pandemic, and then we moved away. We returned last night for dinner and cannot recommend this place enough! The staff are incredibly warm and helpful, and the food was outstanding. We had the hummus, vegan caesar, and crab-stuffed jalapeño apps. Then we shared a pasta, the steak, and fried chicken. All were so delicious. They have great beer and wine options and are experimenting with some delicious cocktails. You should really head here for dinner, not just brunch.

Finally made it to R & S for diner. I’ve known about their magnificent bread, Buckwheat & traditional Baguettes in my trip advisor Review (Best Baguette in NYC). But here I came on a Saturday night to discover the food served. Lots of choices but what caught my eye was the Homemade pasta selection. So we went with the Panzella Salad & Eggplant Crostini to start. Crostini has roasted Almonds & a light cumin taste. Both were excellent, especially the Crostini. Superb. Then as a Main course we opted for the Braided Ricotta Ravioli & Squid Ink Bucatini. Both dishes were delicious This sweet tomato sauce complements the ricotta rich ravioli. The Squid Ink dish was as a good with the seafood and its sauce not overwhelming the pasta. Cant wait to go back. If youre a Bread fanatic like myself, mornings seems to be the time to go and try their specialty breads... Highly recommended.
Pour tous les expert en Pain, testez Runner & Stone. Pour moi, cest la meilleur baguette a NYC et pour son prix $3 de meme. Une baguette sarrasin ($4) et un vrai delice comme en France, on peut toute la mange en rentrant chez soi. Lol. Mais la jai teste le resto et cest vraiment excellent. Un touche italienne, pasta fait maison. Vous verrez mes suggestions en Photo. A visiter ou passer acheter du pain.
Mes félicitations a Chris Pizzulli Exec. Chef & Peter Endriss Baker in Charge.

I don't use the word, "GEM" lightly. You know those "rare finds", that leave you in awe?.... This, is IT. I was walking to the nearby Whole Foods & decided to, "check it out" as I passed by. EVERYTHING is made fresh, sauces, spaghetti & even the bread, that your sandwich comes on.
FRESH Daily Homemade loaves, croissants, etc.
WINNER!.. WINNER! 🤩

I absolutely love runner and stone. All their baked goods are delicious (recommend the baguettes, brioche, and chocolate croissants). Also have great sandwich options for lunch (recommend the mozzarella and the lentil quinoa burger).

Finally stopped by this bakery, their blueberry buckwheat sourdough was soooo good. The exact crust and mild sweetness I was looking for.
Ricardo Rezk
Excellent almond croissant. Everything looked delicious. When I’m back in the area, I’ll definitely stop again.

Had a fantastic impromptu dinner for 6 on a rainy Friday night. All the staff were super friendly. Loved every dish we had! Chicken liver pate was bomb. We loved all three pastas- special spicy shrimp spaghetti and Mac and cheese with smoked trout, and the orecchiette from regular menu. Broccoli chickpea fritters we’re very nice. Winners all around! Need to come back for their house made potato chips.

Absolute best sandwiches in this hidden gem! The duck Reuben was insanely good and the onion rings were perfectly cooked.
