11 Best Coffee Roasters near Albany

“Best espresso of any of the highwire locations I have been too. It is a darker roast than I like, but they have a great recipe so it doesn't get sour or bitter. My only complaint, not enough seats, then again it is in a plant store, not a standalone shop, which leads to some amusing scenarios with entitled people like the scene I saw. So don't wonder far from the stand even if there is a line.

An upper middle class woman took a drink, sipped from it AND THEN ASKED "is this the oat latte for Sarah?" They called out the name of the drink and the person who it was for, CAPPUCCINO FOR JOYCE. Who takes a sip from a drink and then ask if it is yours. They did not apologize, making excuses, and saying oops is not an apology. This after having taken a sip from it. I would have charged her for it if I worked in that stand.
But the baristas there are super nice and friendly, even answering my questions about their espresso ratio etc. would“

“Cute and clean little market and café, perfect for breakfast and lunch time off your work.
The food and drinks are freshly prepared with care and love for their clients.
The place is always full, but it is easy to find a spot where to eat, since there are always people coming and going.
I would like to give a shout out to Gina the owner, first of all. She was reorganizing the flowers and placed a little bouquet on our table with a big smile. We also chatted a little on the sidewalk outside. What a sunny and nice person.
Alex, the bar Supervisor, who impressed me remembering my name before my order the day after and gave me a discount.
Liz, who is very sweet.
In general, all the employees seem to be happy, friendly and welcoming.
Thank you,
Francesco“

“We discovered Uncommon Grounds at our favorite restaurant on our wedding anniversary many years ago and have been brewing their coffee beans ever since (perhaps 15 years?) and simply love the freshness, flavor and depth of their different coffees.Especially enamored by their decaf coffee as well. We get compliments from all of our guests, every time, without fail.:)“

“I’m highly recommend it ..I’m here every day“

“I usually swing in for a drip coffee, always greeted with a smile by the staff, and the overall atmosphere is chill and welcoming.
When the weekend comes, they always request Jaffa coffee, for a juice and pastry.
Really great spot to visit when in Berkeley.

Kid-friendliness: It’s a very chill vibe, and welcoming.“

“I personally love this coffee and drink it every single day. However, the true worth of this coffee and the brand is the staff. Even though the world has been incredibly difficult to work and thrive in, they still work at a high level. Their professionalism and competence can be tasted in each and every cup. Thank you.“
