26 Best Cafes in Albany

“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!“

“The coffee was just ok; I'd skip the pastries. Fairly priced. This is a great place to work, provided you can find a table (has outlets and Wi-Fi)! The best part is they're open past 3pm, which none of the other coffee shops nearby do.

You may have to share a bench with a stranger even if sit at your own table, and they're pretty light so they slide around a bit.“

“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!“

“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.“

“Incredible.“

“This place is pleasant and friendly.
They have this Blueberry Pancake Latte that is not on the menu and it's fire.

My special request sandwich was outstanding.
The homie that put it together is a master at their craft.

That latte, tho...🤌🤌🤌“

“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.“

“Lobster and Snapper on point“

“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!“

“The combination of good food and a friendly staff can significantly enhance any dining experience. It is a pleasure to find a place where both the quality of the meal and the service are commendable. When the prices are also moderate, it creates a sense of value for the customers. This balance often leads to a positive and memorable visit.“

“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!“

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

“I had an amazing dining experience! From the moment we walked in, the ambiance was warm and inviting—perfect for a relaxed evening out. We were greeted by the boss Ali, and The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, making us feel right at home.

We started with the Mozzarella Sticks which was bursting with flavor and beautifully presented. For the main course, I had the Chicken Shawarma Meal and it was absolutely delicious. The sauce was beautiful and the flavors were perfectly balanced, and the portion size was just right.

The bar was also impressive, every drink was perfect, which was the perfect sweet ending to the meal.

Overall,I loved it here. It is a true gem. The quality of the food, the service, and the atmosphere make it a standout spot in the area. I can't wait to come back!“

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

“friendly welcoming stuff, delicious food and desserts, dog friendly“

“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!!!“

“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!!“

“Peaches is a great spot for breakfast but it also has some nice dinner additions as well. We had the salmon which was tender and perfectly cooked as well as the pasta Cajun chicken. Chicken was tasty and had a good amount of heat. Definitely recommend.“

“As usual the food was exceptional; we had the ravioli of the day which was burata, the eggplant appetizer, beet salad and pasta Bolognese. I will say our server seemed quite an experienced. He didn't know the types of bourbon. He tried to pour my bottle of water into everyone else's glasses when I had ordered it for myself. The drinks took a long time to come. But we still enjoyed it. From being seated to paying the check I think we were served by three different people so it was a little confusing.“

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

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

“I ordered the brown sugar boba with original tapioca pearls. It was some of the best boba tea I have ever had! The taste was sweet and enjoyable. The workers were very nice too. I got my boba tea in only about a minute after ordering so very quick service.“

“Always friendly, great with order ahead. Food always good.“

“I love your tea is so refreshing“
