23 Best Cafes in Albany

“We tried Mimi’s for the first time after seeing posts on Facebook. Food was great, service was super friendly, and we will definitely be back!“

“Absolutely delicious. I've only had boba once before (at a different location) and it was so...bland? I didn't like it. I tried this place out on a whim with my friends and I was shocked! It knocked it out of the park in regards to taste. I got a milk tea with boba but it was so delicious that I'm still thinking about it! If you want boba go here. If you're nearby, get boba! I cannot hype this place up enough“

“Looking for a spot to get a quick lunch. My son suggested this place. Food was great, service was quick, friendly staff and very reasonable. Definitely looking forward to a return visit!“

“This is by far my favorite coffee shop in Telkwa and Smithers. I probably spend far too much money then I should here, but I absolutely love it. The staff are always friendly and welcoming, the atmosphere is great, and don't even get me started on the coffee and the food. I don't know if I've had anything that I didn't like from here. I've tried pretty much everything from the pies, meat pies, the freshly made sourdough bread that is just delicious, and the burgers on Fridays. You also have things like the cookies, the brownies and so much more. On top of all of that there's even a lot that I have yet to try, the ice cream being one of them. She even went on vacation for a couple of weeks and that was probably the longest couple of weeks without a good coffee. Oh yeah and I almost forgot, the breakfast wraps are absolutely delicious. You got to try them. Try anything try everything try it all, I'm sure you'll love it.“

“The deli sandwich was good! The price is good, and it came with a small bag of chips. I think I’ll start getting my lunch sandwiches from here over a big chain. My small special request was acknowledged. I ordered through Door Dash, so can’t speak to the location/service itself - but very happy with the food.“

“Incredible.“

“My husband is a breakfast connoisseur and said this is the best breakfast he has had ANYWHERE! The Rocky Mountain Benedict’s was delicious and the Cherry Amaretto pancakes were to die for!! The home is gorgeous and SAM was the best server, hostess all around amazing l person ever! This is a must go and eat when in Albany! 5+++++ stars!“

“Hands down the best coffee and breakfast sandwiches I’ve ever had. I’ve been a Starbucks fan for years but once I tried uncommon grounds I couldn’t go back. Slightly cheaper than Starbucks with my fb higher quality and taste. Lines can get pretty crazy sometimes but I now know the best times to go! So happy we have uncommon grounds in many locations!“

“The atmosphere and vibe of this cafe is amazing!

The entertainment on weekends are nothing that I have experienced anywhere else.

Mr. Ventura is always polite, attentive and accommodating. The staff are as well! Really giving you that welcoming hometown coffee shop feeling.

Considering I drive 30 minutes out of my way to grab a bite to eat. That should say enough about how delicious the food is. But if I must, the food is just as excellent! The Love Salad is my favorite! They also have gluten free options!

This is Just a steller place to experience!“

“We had our first couples boxing class last night and it was outstanding. Corey is open to unique class ideas is very welcoming to everyone. Our trainer was also outstanding! He worked out the entire time with my husband and I and kept the enthusiasm alive the whole time! Such an awesome experience from some other gyms and group fitness that yell at people or don’t watch for correct form and ensure safety. We will be back!!!“

“Small Cafe for breakfast and lunch with in-house seating.

I’ve had a few different sandwiches here, but their soups and baked goods are my favorites.

Located on Broadway in Menands, small parking lot on the side.“

“Good food, fresh and amazing owners and staff.“

“Wonderful food and the homemade soups are Amaaaaazing. Staff is friendly. Mom and I love having lunch here .“

“The ambiance and food is awesome! I’m visiting from another country, and I came in here with a friend to get a coffee, but we ended up ordering much more than that. Definitely recommend to stop in and give it a try. If I lived here I’d be here everyday to work, or bring people/friends in.“

“stopped in Choices daily for 3+ weeks while a loved one was hospitalized. every time it was a good experience. nice variety of food every day. best part was all of the staff, every day everyone working was kind, polite, professional, and helpful! 10/10 staff!!“

“Highly recommended this lovely, feel good restaurant. The atmosphere is warm and cozy. The food is exceptional. We each had one appetizer (4) and all were delicious and full of flavours. Pasta was all denté and tasty; made fresh. All our culinary needs were met fully.“

“Very good Boba! I always order a coconut milk tea and have noticed at other places that it can be too milky, but this establishment had a very strong coconut flavor! I was also impressed with the tapioca. Sometimes the pearls can have an extra chewy texture, but the tapioca here was very fresh! I would definitely stop here if you are at the mall“

“Fast service, best bagels and coffee with affordable prices!“

“Peaches is a great place to catch up with friends. The service is very good and the food is tasty. We tried the Peaches and cream waffles. They were delicious.

Dietary restrictions: They do have the option to switch to gluten free bread, but no GF waffles.“

“Delicious, healthy alternative! Salads, (everything, really)are amazing!!“

“The two men that work there are the most helpful! I had my child on my hip and the guy at the counter carried my food for me. The other gentleman cleaned my spot for me. They’re always helpful any time I go there and interact positively with the customers.“

“I love your tea is so refreshing“

“This cafe is a team favorite. Excellent espresso, clean space and always welcoming.“
