28 Best Cafes near Ballston Spa

“I have been getting the same omelet every Sunday for the last 6 years, and will continue to do so indefinitely. Ribbon catered my wedding in May '24, and long before then they were practically family. This is the best place in Ballston Spa for more than just king Kev's cooking. Wonderful little place filled with happy people always with a smile on their face and a plate of something spectacular always on the way to a table. and that's not even mentioning why Kevin started the place and all the victims of breast cancer he's helped. 💗 love y'all 5 stars is hardly enough.“

“If you are looking for good home cooked meals, a cozy & homey environment please check out Mom & Pop's Cafe & Catering I tried their Chicken noodle soup and I didn't want to leave a drop. I also tried their Cranberry orange muffin. This muffin was bursting with flavor right down to the last crumb. The staff are super friendly and attentive. The owners Kaila & Steve come out and check on the customers not just the waiting staff. The customers clearly know who Kaila and Steve are as they speak. The environment is clean, well kept, beautiful and makes you feel at home. The tables are set up for sets of 2, 4 & 6 but can easily be pushed together for more. There is a salad & pastry section for those who would like a quick snack for to go. The location is easy to get to and easy to see from the road. They may be the new owners but things are looking smooth from what I saw.“

“l LOVE THE PLACE AND THE OWNER“

“I will never eat here again I ordered their afternoon tea. A plain salad plate which consisted of greens two slices of cucumber and shredded carrots, a cup of soup and I wanted a scone. They were out of scones so I reluctantly agreed to a piece of cake. When I saw they charged me 29 I spoke to the manger explaning my complaint. She refused to acknowledge that the meal was overpriced for what I had. The waitress never stated there was an upcharge. Had I gotten a sandwich I would feel different but for what I got the price was waaay out of proportion. Never never never eating here again.“

“The finest listening space I know. Don't go to Lena's for the refreshments, although they are outstanding. Go for the music, which is more outstanding and important. I engineered 'Lena's Open Door', for a few years. Lena knew her stuff about the folk and acoustic music of the day. I am confident that she still would were she still alive today.“

“All the staff were super friendly. Breakfast Focaccia NY style sandwich was AMAZING! Prices were great. Will definitely be back and reccomend to everyone in the area.“

“Food that I could eat was ok, but the staff really needs to have a book readily available that lists all ingredients in each dish.
Even if they don't show it to customers, it's critical that at least the staff have access to this information to be able to alert customers whether or not their allergen is in a particular food item.“

“Our miniature schnauzer Lulabelle is our Fighting princess! ! She was unfortunately diagnosed with an oral malignant melanoma In June 2024 . After having surgery to remove the tumor, she is on a soft diet, so there are not many treats she is able to have. We are so glad that we found the lazy dog cookie Co! Her favorite is blueberry and peanut butter !soft baked treats!

She has brought so much joy to us, so we are happy to have found this company so that she can enjoy some goodies again!“

“They're great. Very good selection, and they have lots of organic items.“

“The food was great, the atmosphere was Panera, the staff I saw was great. I’m just shaking my fists at the clouds because everything was automated. We didn’t see any staff until they handed us our food. Like I said the staff was great, diligent and kind.“

“delicious chicken noodle soup..guy at the register was very helpful w my GC that I couldn't use on line“

“We’ve had consistently great experiences at Panera Bread. The sandwiches are always fresh, flavorful, and made just right.
One thing we really love is how convenient everything is—the online ordering system is easy to use, and the drive-thru pickup option makes it super quick when you’re on the go.
And the standout? The broccoli cheddar soup. This location makes the best one we’ve had from any Panera—always rich, creamy, and perfectly done.
Reliable, convenient, and consistently good.“

“Staff always friendly n helpful, love my fave spinach n artichoke, an infrequent treat“
