50 Best Coffee Roasters near Albany

“My latte was an absolute delight: rich, foamy, and brimming with flavor, the perfect companion for a long catch up with an old friend. And the almond croissant…oh, the almond croissant! Flaky, perfectly sweet, and honestly the best I’ve ever had. Surrounded by greenery and the gentle hum of fellow coffee lovers, it felt like a tiny whimsical escape from the everyday.“

“Awesome place to shop! My “go to” produce market for incredibly fresh produce, fruits and dry goods. Great meat and fish market. Superb bakery. Excellent wine shop, And Market Hall pasta shop/main market is simply amazing in SO many ways. Plus, super easy parking and good hours ... important to me and a for real plus. Love this place!!!“

“By far the best coffee in my opinion. Not only do they have the best coffee, but their customer service is absolutely amazing. Olga and the entire team always make sure to treat every customer with nothing but respect and smiles. The staff goes above and beyond to make sure every customer is happy. Must try coffee.“

“I like what they offer and they have good info on their products.“

“Good coffees, responsive customer service, reasonable prices compared to most online coffee sellers“

“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.:)“

“Just tasted their coffee for the first time, and WOW! Had their dark French roast at a restaurant. It was SO good that only had to add a little cream and sugar. I definitely recommend this coffee!!!“

“the place is very nice plus the view across the street is like a gigantic mirror ! you should see it for yourself !!! it really is something to look at while having your coffee.... it is spectacular !!!! and of course, the staff were super sweet !“

“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.“

“AMAZING. Loved the service and coffee. I ordered the Sampaguita latte with whole milk and it was the perfect blend of not too sweet, not too bitter, and balanced coffee-milk ratio. I find a lot of lattes to be too light on the espresso but they have nailed it. My latte was fragrant and bright with almost chocolatey notes after the initial floral scent.“

“My favorite drink at Abanico is Pinolillo, which is a traditional Nicaraguan drink made from cacao. Delicious and frothy and yummy with Almond milk.“

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

“The best place ever. Love them ❤️ 💕“

“A clean, well-lighted place for exquisite coffee, tea and pastries. They owners (very nice people) are very particular about their coffee using high quality beans from Ethiopia. Their decaf espresso is delicious. They have mocktails too.“

“Best addition to the neighborhood. Love the drinks, the food, and the service. I’ve tried the bacon and chorizo waffles - both are buttery and delicious. I highly recommend the garlic bun and the sweet potato pie if you get the chance before they sell out! I’ve tried lots of the drinks, but my favorite is the laid back lemon cayx as an espresso soda. Such a unique and refreshing drink! The folks working are personable and kind.“

“Farm to Table (Cup?) coffee with a jungle theme! I love the emphasis on the Costa Rican farm where they source the coffee beans, including photos of the workers during harvesting. It also makes for a really delicious coffee! 🤤 If you don't like an iced Americano with a splash of oat milk like me, I recommend the Manguito mango latte 🥭 It's vegan without honey (still sweet without) since they make it with coconut milk! 🥥 Enjoy either on the comfy living room-esque furniture or take it to nearby Salesforce Park 🌴 I just wish they were open on weekends and sometimes the service can be slow.“

“We were in the area for a basketball tournament and stopped by. If maps takes you to the side where the apartment leasing office is just follow the sent of amazing coffee around the corner! The owner was super kind and friendly and I personally loved the energy in the cafe. You can tell community is at the core. Definitely check them out!“

“Best coffee ☕️ and the best service“

“This is by far the best coffee I have ever had! I also like the ambience that is super chill and the coffee is not too sweet and the owner was there and he is very friendly and eager to make a good coffee. Everybody should go here and get their cup!“

“Sanaa Cafe offers an excellent selection of coffee, desserts, and delicious Fatayer. The atmosphere is truly unique, featuring authentic Yemeni architecture and Coffee. It is a perfect environment for productivity; it’s inviting, bring your laptop and work while enjoying a Sanaa Adani Chai or a Pistachio Mocha. I also highly recommend trying our delicious pistachio cheesecake.“

“I order my Highwire Coffee online, being that I live in Nevada City. While I love my local Foxhound Coffee, I found that Highwire's 'Bauhaus' coffee is beyond exceptional and I have to have both Bauhaus and my local coffee in order to function properly!😍☕️“

“No indoor seating. Wifi is barely usable (1.7⬇️/3.4⬆️). The drip is pretty good. It's a washed Guatemala/Ethiopia. Chocolate croissant was tasty too. So many plants! 🤩 I'd come here to hang on a nice day, but not to work.“

“My new favorite place to study/chill. The music is the perfect background noise for studying, the coffee is great, the food is amazing and the atmosphere is just a breath of fresh air. In addition to this, not only is the food great but tastes fresh. It doesn’t taste like your traditional coffee shop food that’s been sitting around/frozen waiting for someone to come gamble with their health. Great place to get some studying or work done. Maybe even meet up and chat with a friend. Check them out!“

“This coffee place is from far the BEST in the mission district. I live in the Nob hill and walk all the way to Grand Coffee II for their flat white and for the smiles of the baristas !“

“Temo's Cafe - the place, the people, where you find good coffee, a smile, understandig and, if needed, helping hand. Lamea is an angel...was our angel... long time ago. We never will forget you, Lamea, and your open heart... And your nice, lovely family ... A kiss and a hug from Petra and Anna“

“Progeny’s coffee changed my life ! The quality is incredible and the company is the only one that truly helps farmers in their process.“

“Good food and atmosphere. But please staff, remove your masks! It's not necessary !“

“Great pastries and coffee!“

“Really cute cafe on the other side of campus! The matcha einspanner is the highlight here but they have rotating seasonal drinks. Solid! But the cream on top is not the crema you imagine, it’s more of a really dense/stiff whipped cream (almost frosting like). I think having a less whipped crema would’ve better mixed with the latte. I tried the seasonal early grey matcha and it was nice, the earl grey tea didn’t overpower the matcha at all. Because it’s so small, it’s always packed. Came on a Saturday morning and all the tables were already full with students studying.“

“Dirty tumeric coffee lover“

“Great service Clean Food was amazing“

“I got a vanilla matcha, pretty tasty. Cafe opens up into an atrium which was a bright and quiet place to work, super perfect for what I needed. The wifi worked well (I didn't realize, but was still here after they closed and the wifi was working) and bathrooms were clean.“

“Fabulous assortment of specialty coffees and a delicious food menu. My favorite go-to is the quiche!“

“Ritual Coffee Roasters is awesome. Listen, I first heard about them randomly through some passing mention from Adam Savage (formerly of Mythbusters) in one of his YouTube videos. I happened to be on the hunt for better options, so I decided to give them a try. They’re a local coffee shop in San Francisco with 3 or 4 locations, but they do offer their coffee to order and ship. It was VERY good coffee, so even though it’s a little pricey compared to grocery store coffee, I started a small monthly subscription with them. No regrets! I’ve been very happy with their seasonal varieties. Well this month their shipment has disappeared inside the USPS somewhere. I called them to ask if they could help figure it out, and after looking it up and confirming they were lost with no resolution in sight they said no problem they’ll just send a whole new shipment out expedited to me, on them, no charge. If the others do show up, great, keep those bags, too. I know it’s “just coffee” and just a couple bags somewhere, but that kind of responsive, customer-first service isn’t exactly common anymore. Right now I’m subsisting on an old bag of nasty Starbucks French roast and have been eagerly awaiting a package that may never arrive. If you like coffee, DEFINITELY give them a shot. I can recommend them with no reservations!“

“Great selection very fast shipping secure packaging and nice people“

“Great coffee ☕️ ,nice owner, You can get good coffee at cheap prices“

“A damn fine cup of coffee! ☕ I've heard this called the best coffee in SF and honestly, I may agree. Small, snug spot plus chill and approachable staff made my visit feel cozy. Despite no indoor seating, there were still ceramic mug options! I got a maple Americano in a mug (so kind of small) and it was the creamiest coffee drink I've had. Definitely a must for fans of that espresso crema.“

“I live their expert roasts!“

“Very good and very perfectic. San Francisco coffee ☕ and burger 🍔 fast food Restaurant has all it takes to make your day. So quickly rush and have your own coffee ☕ and burger 🍔 🍔 @ ADNOC PETROL ⛽ station MADINAT ZAYED BY LIWA ROAD ABU DHABI. ..... Believe Me, You Can't Beat the Test....“

“great tasting coffee with robust flavors, very satisfied, going to be a regular customer now that our search for a good coffee is over✌💖🙏✊“

“Great tasting coffee and vibes from this little coffee shop! The customer service is spectacular and there is a nice little seating area to stop and have a chat or work a bit. The food also looks great which I have yet to try but one day may grab a pastry. Highly recommend the burnt cinnamon latte or iced blackstrap latte. Delish!!“

“Really good coffees and pastries. They need one more person at peak times. Glad it’s gotten popular w all the dog folks.“

“Great pastries and coffee!“

“I’m not a coffee maven, but the tea and sweets were excellent. (My friends who appreciate good coffee say that it’s excellent as well.) Good service, even in the face of an exacting clientele.“

“This is one of those spots where the food and drinks are so solid, the whole place so cozy (including the lovely patio), and the workers and owner so nice that I almost don't want to tell people about it lest they get attached to it, too. I used to come here fairly often when I lived in the area and it was always a respite. I hope they stick around forever, to be honest.

And huge kudos to the owner for supporting folks with difficulties who need employment.“

“Love everything there. My fave! ❤️“

“The place is very conducive to drink coffee.“

“Quality coffee that is such a wonderful indulgence and service is the best! Excellent experience!“
