The guy that made my bagel was super rude and annoyed for some reason. He sort of yelled too when I asked him to repeat something. The bagel was good tho

Cute place to sit and bagel sandwiches were decent but all the coffee tasted pretty bad, had a weird mechanical taste to it and we couldn't drink more than a third

Cashier clearly messes up orders on purpose, foods good, always messes up drink order and then cries about it when it’s pointed out, little kid attitude !

Coffee is burnt, and croissant is soft. But location is pleasant and many regulars. Soothing.

Been here a few times. The first two I ordered Borgia which is pretty good. Third time I came I asked for a cappuccino and gave me something else. Forth time I ordered matcha mint chip latte and gave me matcha latte. I told the staff I couldn't taste the mint chip and that's when he said they don't have mint chip. Monday staff always messes up the order.

I got a latte, it was average. They are not environmental friendly, to-go cups are plastic also they don’t offer porcelain cups for here orders. Unfortunately, staff is rude too. My friend asked for the Wifi password and they told her she needs to order first. It turned out to be that the password was on the wall.

I love going back to this coffee shop. Mike, the owner is very sweet and Guillermo, his assistant is very hard working ?.

Menu and selection is top notch but I would say execution is very very mediocre for both food and drinks. Feels like quantity over quality which makes me sad to say cuz it’s a nice place.

The best cafe mocha and apple turnovers. The perfect atmosphere for a morning breakfast

Ordered a chagaccino and got gaslit instead.When I pointed out the drink wasn't what I ordered, the barista snarkly asked if I ever had the drink before. ??

This is the only coffee shop in Albany that’s open before 8am. For that reason, I really appreciate them and will come back. Don’t expect a craft latte here , however. The milk is over frothed, temperature brought up too high, and there’s simply too many choices on the menu for anything to be perfected here. However, for a quick coffee before an early morning job this place hits the spot. The service was friendly and they opened right on time. A great little neighborhood coffee spot.
