“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?“

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

“I love 7 Brew and I love this location, but I was extremely concerned by what I saw during my most recent visit.

There were easily around 30 yellowjackets flying around inside the employees’ workspace. What originally caught my attention was watching one employee valiantly swinging at them while simultaneously trying to do their job. Once I looked closer, I realized just how many yellowjackets were flying around the employees. There were screen partitions in place, but at that point they appeared to be doing more to keep the yellowjackets trapped inside the workspace with the employees than actually keeping them out.

As a customer, it was honestly alarming to watch. Employees should not have to spend an entire shift dodging and swatting yellowjackets while trying to make drinks and serve customers. Aside from being distracting and stressful, there is also the very real possibility of someone being stung or having a serious allergic reaction.

This is a workplace safety issue that management/ownership needs to take seriously. Please get a professional exterminator out there and properly address whatever is attracting or allowing this many yellowjackets into the workspace. Having employees continue working under those conditions is unacceptable“

“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.“

“the sandwiches are loaded high with fresh delicious meat and veggies. truly enjoyed my time there. excellent portions and very reasonable prices. quickly becoming an Albany icon“

“I’ve given this place multiple chances because I genuinely like their coffee options and really want to like their matcha as well. Unfortunately, I leave disappointed almost every time I order one.

I recently paid $9 for a 16 oz cup matcha latte, and the drink was extremely diluted. They use 3 grams of matcha, which is essentially the bare minimum for that amount of milk. The result is a drink that tastes mostly like milk rather than matcha.

What makes it more disappointing is that if you want additional matcha, you have to pay extra. I understand charging extra for an upgraded portion, but when you’re already paying $9 for a 16 oz drink, I would expect there to be enough matcha for the flavor to actually come through.“

“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.“

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

“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!!“

“Best coffee around! Bakery items are fresh and delicious. Staff is friendly. Quick service helps in the morning. A must visit 😊☕️“

“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! ☕️“

“Great little spot in the middle of Albany. Espresso is good, bold and not too acidic. Staff were friendly and accommodating. Restaurant itself is clean and well maintained.Bathroom however was not super clean and did not have any paper towels. Also, all of the plants in the place look like they are dying and need some upkeep.“

“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!“

“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!“

“My husband and I (and pup Hamish) stopped in from our travels and we honestly had one of the best coffees and Matcha’s we have ever had! They had Little Wolf coffee for the espresso (and that’s when we knew it would be good!) AND it’s such a sweet wee shop with curated local goodies! Justin was the best and a good chat! :) we will definitely be coming back if we ever come back to the area! :)“

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

“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.“

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

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

“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!“

“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.“

“Always great service an friendly employees“

“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!!! 🥳“

“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!“

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

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

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

“You will get served fast and well here. While sometimes it may feel a bit uninviting, the people here are earnest and efficient. I could also not be the target for extra social interacting on the staffs behalf being directly across from a very active hospital, so lend some perspective when you stop here. Your sandwich will taste good.“

“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!“

“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!“

“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....“

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

“This is my favorite local Dunkin!!! The employees are so friendly and efficient and it brings me joy early in the mornings to go through a drive thru that's going to get me in and out quickly but also put a smile on my face!!! Great team at this location! 🧡🩷“

“A mis sobrinitos y a mí nos encanta DD, todo está delicioso y muy fresco, gracias DD“

“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.“

“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“

“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.“

“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“

“I’ve been going to this location to replace going to the location on Columbia turnpike for about 10 years now. They have ALWAYS been so friendly here, usually the ladies that work in this location are super friendly, happy to have a quick conversation and do anything they can to make your experience pleasurable. I can not thank this location enough for all that they do. Thank you ❤ 100/100 stars.“

“Its a great place for coffee while your visiting someone in the hospital.

Lots of hospital staff and patient friends and family. Place sees a steady stream of customers.

Not a place for quiet contemplation.“

“This location was good, but it's a tight pull in on a busy street. Went inside to order it wasn't crowded, there was parking. The staff was nice and friendly. They didn't mess up the order or the food, and it was clean inside. They have a new churro donut that's supposed to taste like churros, I guess, but it doesn't. It tastes like one of those old fashion cinnamon sugar donuts, except it has a fancy shape. Like, c'mon, dd you know dang well that doesn't taste like a churro. lol maybe if they had like a caramel drizzle on it ? then maybe, but yeah, no Anywho, it's dunkin donuts what else is there to explain.“

“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“

“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.“
