Coffee Shops near Castleton

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

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

“Local gem. We <3 Brewtus!!!“

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

“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.“

“Love love love everything about this sweet little cafe! They have a perfectly small menu, milk alternatives, and the owner is a nice young woman, running the whole place with one other person! I love supporting small businesses like this, especially when the espresso is strong and delicious, the atmosphere is cozy, and the treats are unique.
I'll be stopping by again tomorrow and the next day before I go back home!“

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

“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“

“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!!“

“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! ☕️“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

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

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

“The Queen is my favorite! Great flavor and the perfect pick-me-up 👌“

“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 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!“

“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! 🧋😁“

“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.“

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

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

“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!“

“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 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!“

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

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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“

“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.“

“Always great service an friendly employees“

“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.“
