Coffee Shops near Castleton

“Cheers to the young lady who just made my impulse moment of self care even better. 🍩“

“Local gem. We <3 Brewtus!!!“

“Local and welcoming. What more could we ask for?“

“It was so good we went here three times while staying at a hotel nearby. I will be daydreaming about the strawberry milk cold brew for a while. Also enjoyed the toffee cold brew and pumpkin dolce latte.

Staff was polite and approachable which isn’t always the case at trendy coffee shops. The ambiance is upscale and design forward which really made it an appealing place to be. Their patio looked lovely but unfortunately was closed due to weather.“

“Just finished at colonie center location. Fantastic!!!“

“Thank you for making the best wedding cake for my daughter's wedding. It was absolutely the best cake we ALL ever had. So many people complimented on the cake and wanted to know where we got the cake from. It really was the best cake we ever had!!“

“DO NOT get the mochi donut… you will never stop thinking about it and you’ll eventually be shopping for bigger pants. Delicious food with veg options! The staff is awesome, coffee options are delicious but I wish there were more flavoring choices. Atmosphere is an aesthetic vibe but sadly, not very cozy. Nice to sit at the windows and watch the goings on in town though.“

“Amazing place - LA coffee at upstate NY prices. Great selection of coffees, perfectly prepared. Loved it!“

“Tried some place new for my afternoon coffee. Got a mocha latte with cinnamon. Oh my goooooodness! It was so delicious, made perfectly! The barista was so sweet, really great people skills. An hour or so later I realized I was highly caffeinated too. So definitely strong, and definitely did the job! I'll be returning for sure! ☕️“

“I have dined in Stacks on numerous occasions and I regularly get take out. This is one of my three go to coffee shops in Albany NY. I enjoy the Chai lattes, seasonal soups, sandwiches, and croissants. The only thing they need is Hazelnut syrup for the drinks!

Feb 2026 Update: Their Valentine's Day Kashmir Chai special is delicious. I added strawberry syrup which is also a limited time syrup. The strawberry syrup is mouth-watering. Highly recommend they add both to their regular menu! Always try their soups. They rotate and generally are a hit!

Apirl 2026 Update: The only drink I have tasted that I don't recommend is the matcha. It is not high quality and powdery. The double matcha was made incorrectly. As a regular matcha drinker the ratio was incorrect especially for double matcha. When I asked for extra syrup to try to save my drink the barista was incredibly sarcastic. Honestly if you know you made a drink incorrectly simply correct it before it gets into a customer's hands. That is literally the bare minimum. This was the first bad experience I had at Stacks after six years of continued patronage. This was the only barista I have encountered that generally seemed to have a bad attitude and appeared annoyed which is why I am dropping a star on both food & service.“

“This place has the best hospitality and food I’ve ever seen of any halal cafe. So good to have this around our area. If you haven’t tried it before, I highly reccomend. The owner was so great and the cook knew exactly what she was doing.“

“Great cozy coffee spot to chill or get some work done. The coffee is excellent, prices are fair, and there’s a reason it’s ranked among the best in town. The only thing missing would be more substantial food options — like paninis or soups — especially during the chilly winter months.“

“Coxsackie General Store has a great variety of fresh produce, groceries, snacks,beer, fresh cut flowers, housewares, etc. They also have delicious coffee and pastries plus they have a $1 ATM!“

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

“I love this place's atmosphere and I enjoy their coffee. I would like to spend more money here but sadly I think the only vegan option is a side of avocado. I don't really expect them to cater to vegans so I do understand. Just the addition of a non-eggwashed bagel would be enough (bagel plus avocado is fine for me). I just sometimes leave the house without eating and usually end up stopping somewhere else before coming here. Let me give you my money!!! I think it is a necessity to support real local businesses and people in my community and this place deserves it. Thank you to the person working behind the counter for verifying the ingredients of the bagel. I really do appreciate that.“

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

“They make amazing teas great customer service and are true to their prices! 🧋😁“

“Our favorite shop last couple of years, always something for kids to pick out (cute stationary and toys), yummy olive oils, and all the latte they have (matcha, chai, and black sesame). Friendly staff. Whenever we come back to Kinderhook we always stop by.“

“I have never had a bad experience here. The staff is always friendly. They are efficient, professional, courteous, and know their stuff. They have never been slow when I am there, but they are always moving fulfill orders as quickly as they can. I have never seen any staff there being anything but productive. The entire staff is alway dressed professionally, and the location is always spotless.“

“I’ve been a daily Starbucks drinker for years and have been to many different locations. The crew at the glenmont location are the best!
Even though I have a favorite baristas (you know who you are!) everyone is always exceptional.
I appreciate you guys making the start to my days enjoyable!“

“I have been to both the Kinderhook and Slingerlands locations and they are both amazing! Delicious food, best kettle boiled Brooklyn-style bagels, and authentic pizza. yum!“

“Smack freshly cooked great staff shrimp and grits to die for“

“I have been a frequent customer and my honest opinion is the teas are fantastic! I love the newer flavors, and they are healthy! The store is always clean, and decorated beautifully for the current holiday, year round. Caitlyn and her employees go out of their way to give exceptional service. If you are looking for a small business to try, this is it!!“

“Was nice...polite...social distance markers. Only one downfall...they let this lady look like in her twenties run back n forth in line visiting people she knew that were entering the store while her party was up front. One customer ended up leaving. Awful they didn't say something. Why have floor markers....“

“The service is always good at this location. I think the coffee drinks are great, but the teas are even better. America really does run on Dunkin!“

“Great products, and friendly staff. Awesome place !“

“I love that this is my neighborhood Dunkin! Friendly workers, fresh selection of food & donuts, attention to details, get my large orders correctly and clean environment. They also decorate so well for the different seasons, it's so cute. I love it!“

“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.“

“There’s a reason why there may be a line... this Starbucks is the best!! Personable baristas that get to know you. They love my dogs! My order is always accurate and they don’t mind giving my toddler a “coffee” aka an espresso shot cup of whipped cream. You guys ROCK!“

“Grate spot to hang before and after shows at Lark Hall (~);}“

“Was very happy went there today around 9:30 AM and got the caramel ribbon crunch which is always made wrong and the girl there made it perfectly. I actually had to inspect the cup several times because I was just so in shock that it was actually made properly with a proper mix of Carmel, nuts, whip cream, and coffee and the food was cooked perfectly . Very very happy this morning.“

“Teas and shakes are soooo good!!! Highly recommend!“

“Always great service an friendly employees“

“They are usually out of something. But being in a price chopper and the only starbucks around I always leave satisfied. A much better option than Dunkin.Every time I get food there it's made properly and every drink I've gotten has been perfect. Definitely will return“

“I really like this location. I always get the egg bites and they package them with great care-- they'll place them in a box and pack them with a fork and ketchup packets. Not everyone does that, so I appreciate it. They do get VERY busy, so it's best to swing in in the early morning, or if you're doing an online order, allow 20min.“

“First time here in a very cold evening, it’s like on the back of a building, there’s a park in front of the store, and across the street from it is a huge building with a clock on top that could be an old train terminal.
The chef was really friendly and the chicken sandwich meal was delicious, my daughter was a picky eater, and she just killed that sandwich, the chicken was crispy and tender inside, it was so food, since it’s a cold day we didn’t bother to order ice cream pops, we will definitely come back with friends and visit this eatery again.“

“I think I've tried 3-4 flavors and I've loved them all. Today was Mermaid and it is perfection.“

“Customers losing patients when knowing full well this Dunkin’ is short staffed is beyond ridiculous. You live in the most privileged place in the world and you’re going to harass these hard working folks— who are trying to feed their families— because you’re a full grown adult acting like a child when told to go through the drive-thru??? Hope you feel good writing that letter of complaint, I bet you feel like a real man harassing those coworkers.“

“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.“

“FIRST I woukd like to thank the staff at the Valatie Dunkin Donuts on 9H for providing excellent service after my experience minutes before at the East grennbush Dunkin. I had the worst experience at this place this morning, sad to say because normally no matter what, they give service with a smile. Most times I go there on my way to work, I have to have my coffee adjusted to taste right. I order it the same way: sugar cookie, 1 sugar, Xtra cream, stirred well, and a egg white veggie wake up wrap. Some mornings it's good other times it taste like the sugar cookie flavor isn't added, and they are aware of this and they fix it. Actually a few times the sugar cookie flavor was left out. This morning I said to the male employer after I tasted the coffee and it wasn't correct, "I might have to start going to a different Dunkin". This employee starts taking it personal and visibly has an attitude. Saying things to me, the consumer, like: tell us how you want it then, and you always say it's not right. I have to admit I was taken back by his approach, yes I'm picking in the product I purchase but nevertheless, wouldn't they want customer satisfaction. I went on and stated," I don't know how I want it, I order it the same way here and at any other DD". I go on to say the other Dunkins never have a problem getting it right. So he closes the window, walks away, and I can see everyone looking his way, and mine as he continues to chatter. He returns with the cup of joe with visible coffee spilling all over the sides, and I ask for napkins to wipe it off, he wipes it off for me then hands it over. So we continue having this heated debate, and it ends by him saying if you don't like your coffee pull around and come in. For one moment I became slightly enthused with the idea of going in the store, but with his obvious sour demeanor, and my natural instinct to fight for what's right, I decided to decline his offer, my exact words were: "no, I'm good just pass me my sandwich". He handed it to me with a snap of his wrist and a disgusted look on his face. I drove off, and once I checked my croissant I made the decision to go to a different DD (5$ wasted), but once I realized the croissant I ordered was incorrect to, trust went out the door. It was supposed to be super toasted well with a small amount of butter, guess you guys know it was totally the opposite; drenched with butter and hardly toasted. Is this the image, service, quality, and impression you want consumers to be left with. One bad egg can spoil the bunch. I am just one consumer with an experience, but I do have a voice, and its my constitutional right to express it, and my right to expect good service as an consumer at your business East greenbush DD“

“Coffee was excellent! French toast was good, but I prefer Texas toast. I can’t hold that against them tho as that is a personal preference thing and varies person to person. The only knock I had against this place is the home fries. They’re like mashed potatoes, that are then grilled on a flat top grill. WEIRD and bland. Very under seasoned“

“This review is long overdue. This location is the only location that I’m willing to visit these days. Their donuts are always fresh and their staff are polite and courteous. Jess particularly is a sweet person. Whenever I go there, Jess knows exactly what I want and has everything picked out before I can place my order. It’s incredible to know that as busy as mornings are at Dunkin she finds the time to make my experience as a customer so personal. She always greets me with a smile and such a cheery attitude. She ALWAYS has a smile on her face and no matter how rough a morning you’re having you can’t help but to smile back. People like her are hard to come by with her innate ability to shift your entire morning and set the tone for the rest of the day. Hats off Jess!!! You’re one of one!!! 🥳“

“Oh my, my, my. Not sure if all your closers called out, but the least you could have done when I walked in at 3:00 was have a sign up stating that you were closing at 3:30. I'm having a mentally crappy day and needed some time alone with coffee.“

“The young lady and older gentleman working here have always been incredibly kind and friendly, and I always appreciate that the staff is willing to help accommodate needs if, for example, there's an issue with the espresso machine. Thanks so much!“

“There is one girl who works there. She is so happy and upbeat and positive and sweet All all the time! So helpful and generous and a joy to see! I’ll update with her name… this is one of the better Dunkin in the Capital Region though for sure!“
