19 Best Bakeries in Albany

“I recently tried Cheesecake Machismo for the first time and OH MY GOODNESS! By far the best cheesecake I have ever had and I consider myself a cheesecake snob. My family tried: Ube, Hot Cousin-Peach Cobbler, Butter Rum Apple, Caramel Toffee, Cherry Amaretto, and Strawberry. My favorites were Caramel Toffee and Cherry Amaretto and my husband loved the Hot Cousin and Cherry Amaretto! An absolute must try!“

“Good dessert the place is very nice and clean, Daisies treat her customers with love, I recommended to everyone..“

“I had an amazing experience with Elaine!!! The cake came out beautiful, I will be back, she went above and beyond! I had a tres leches cake!“

“The cakes I get from here are amazing. I don’t normally leave reviews but after my 4th cake from them I had to. My son just turned 2 and I’ve used them for his gender reveal, first birthday my current pregnancy gender reveal and now second birthday. The cake is always so moist and delicious and they execute my vision always. The most recent cake the characters got a little melted but it was a hot day when I picked it up. Still looked lovely and tasted amazing. Guests always compliment it“

“A special thank you to Jennifer who took my last minute order for a graduation cake for my niece! The cake was big & beautiful, super fresh and delicious! And so reasonably priced! I highly recommend Fiorello Bakery! Thanks again, Jennifer. And congratulations to your daughter on her graduation! 🎓🎉“

“delicious bagels. nice people.“

“Great bakery, Supporting this business is helping a family owned business and getting great quality baked goods with no preservatives, clean and welcoming friendly service.“

“Love their bread and rolls, we usually get subs at our favorite Italian Deli and they use their rolls. Lately I’ve been afraid to get the rolls because I have an allergy to malted barley. It seems to be in every single baked good. I did call Prinzo today and lucky for me, They told me there was no malted barley flour in their breads. I’m looking forward to having one of my favorites again soon!“

“So glad we stumbled into this lovely cafe in center square! We met the owner and her husband, both extremely kind and welcoming. We had a matcha and Turkish coffee which we both enjoyed. The pastries are homemade by the owner’s mother, the baklava and almond chocolate croissant were both delicious and fresh. We can’t wait to go back again! Highly recommend.“

“Gluten free Bundt cake was awesome !! Didn’t even know they had Gluten free!“

“we recently purchased cakes for our daughters wedding. banana,white, and chocolate. just want to say they were delicious!!! so pleased with them!! thanks guys! kudos!!👍“

“I was one of Sharon’s original “ testers” in the early stages of her business. All of her creations were moist, and delicious! Designs and creations are unique and beautiful. I highly recommend her sweets for any occasion… pure indulgence! 😋“

“I enjoyed a great family brunch with my Aunt. Excellent food and coffee options. Will definitely return. Highly recommend.“

“Born and raised in the Schenectady county, I grew up LOVING Freigofers! For the love of me I can’t remember the name of my favorite cinnamon rolls they made. I believe they had a cinnamon/ sugar crumble maybe like pecan or something crushed up with it on the top! Does anybody remember the name of those cinnamon rolls? Or a recipe? I crave them monthly.“

“The boys on the shunt trucks are the best. They come driving to you before you end up in a wrong spot, check your papers and lead you to the dock. I was late for the appointment, so probably took longer than usual, 4 hours. Overnight parking available. Spacious backing. Overall good place if you are delivering at your 8 or 10.“

“Station Six is truly a hidden gem! I had the chance to try the coconut mocha latte and the banana latte, and omG both are absolutely delicious! I love how they have all these unique coffee flavors. Im excited to try a few other ones next time.
This cafe has a super cool industrial style too which is very inviting. This is the kind of place where you just want to sit back and enjoy your morning. They also have a great variety of breakfast sandwiches and delicious pastries. Station Six is definitely worth checking out. I highly recommend! ❤️
(I will be adding photos to my review the next time I'm back, I forgot to take photos this time since I devoured my food as soon as I got it! Lol)“

“Hey, where's the cream cheese frosting?

I remember the good ol' days when a regular Cinnamon Bun from Cinnabon meant ooey gooey goodness in every bite, soft pastry-like dough that pulls apart with ease, a cinnamon tar that oozed from every crevasse, and of course the top layer of cream cheese frosting that was thick and covered the entire creation.

That was 20 years ago, and because of the healthy/nutritious arcs we as a society went through, Cinnabon altered their recipe, adjust the levels, and in the end made a wholly less appealing baked good. What's the point of being bad, when it's just this sad?

Clearly nostalgia is what was motivating me to buy a regular Cinnamon Bun in hopes of reliving some childhood memories, but that was a whiff.

The place itself doesn't even smell the same, as I clearly recall the Cinnabons of old radiating an aura of cinnamon and sugar from at least 100 feet away. Enticing any impulsive or hungry passerby into standing in a line that was a little too long, but the wait would be worth it!

Yeah, no lines here. Just sadness.

Still, I won't begrudge Cinnabon that much. The cinnamon bun is still good, just, no where nears as good as it once was.“

“This is a very good restaurant in located in a very good mall. Which attracts local customers from all over capital district area, Albany. Schenectady. So much cities around capitalistic area and the shop is very clean and very nice. It looks pretty wonderful but the people need to learn little communication skill and a house smile on their face, so the customers can attract and more customer can visit. So what would all my experience with this restaurant pretty o k I look forward there , communication skill and closeness vita customer“
