40 Best Cafes near Clifton Park

“Lord I'm so forever grateful for bringing Dr MOMOH into my life I'm finally cured from genital herpes after 2yrs of suffering.“

“I remember when you could walk in and grab a quick coffee and bite to eat, but when a place is this good, it doesn't stay quiet for long. The service is still fast, friendly and accurate, but there is usually a line. The blends of coffee make it impossible to choose just 1 and the sandwiches are perfectly made and priced.“

“First time in the new location with a friend of mine and we loved it! Large but cozy with good music playing. Food and coffee were good - vegan french toast and chicken pesto panini, carmel and peppermint bark latte. Everything was delicious and came out in a timely manner. The waitress/barista was kind and helpful. We will definitely be back!“

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

“Just had the BEST iced vanilla latte that I have EVER had in my entire life 🧋“

“Baristas are friendly and efficient, and the coffee never disappoints.“

“Fantastic little brunch spot. Only seats about six inside, but entirely worth waiting for. Delicious meals and pastries, and amazing coffee. Shared a strawberry nutella waffle and the Turkish breakfast plate, was a perfect meal! Definitely a new favorite!“

“We were in the area last weekend for a motorcycle getaway. The Ugly Rooster came highly recommended by the folks at Active Ingredient Brewing, and it was within walking distance of our hotel. Super friendly wait staff and delicious, generous portions. Worth the wait if you don’t time it right and there’s a line; they have free coffee outside.“

“I recently found this place in the last few months as I go for therapy right down the road. I’m not from Saratoga area so I don’t know many food places. Since the first time I ordered, I have gotten lunch basically every week now! The customer service is great, the food is amazing, and they give you a huge serving of food. I just can’t say enough good things about it. I highly recommend giving this place a try if you are looking for somewhere to eat!“

“Love love LOVE B&B. Such a fun unique business idea, executed with passion, love, and the best Mac and cheese in the 518. You can tell the owners care deeply about each and every guest, and their passion shows in everything they do from their main gaming feature, their food, to the events they host. Warm, welcoming, inclusive atmosphere. Much love to all the staff , and Charlotte and Bryan! 🫶💛“

“Great and friendly service!“

“My husband and I went there this evening for Valentines dinner. We have been there for her amazing breakfasts and have ordered her take out pot pies and WOW, we were not disappointed with our amazing dinner. I had the Eggplant and my husband had the Filet. Warm and cozy atmosphere- just perfect!!“

“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!“

“Love Love Love Lorenzo's! (518 Foodies card holders get 10% off). They have the BEST breakfast! The home fries are to die for! The chorizo egg and cheese is also delicious! Really, you can't go wrong.“

“I love the convenience of this place. I usually get something to go and it’s always ready within 15 minutes, usually less.“

“Had a great breakfast there last week. Had to drive around the parking lot 3 times and wait about 15 minutes to get in but it was definitely worth the wait“

“We absolutely loved our food. It was amazing. Eggplant fries were really good. One of the best spanakopita & Rueben. We all got stuff and split it. Was really good. I really liked our waitress, she was sweet with my son. I enjoy waitresses that make you feel really comfortable and she did. This will be our new breakfast spot.“

“I literally love Stacks! I’m here usually 3 times a week for work. The workers are always inviting and super nice. I work with individuals who have special needs and they are always willing to help my client’s peers when they purchase drinks and meals. I will continue to support them as much as possible I hope one day they start making refreshers“

“It’s basically a Starbucks, so they sell most of the same things as a Starbucks. However, they’re not the exact same as a Starbucks, so you won’t get free water like you would at an actual Starbucks. But if you’re paying it’s basically the same as a real Starbucks.

Parking: There’s a parking lot near the Mueller Center, which is nearby DCC.

Kid-friendliness: Not kid friendly as the main purpose is to serve college students.

Wheelchair accessibility: It is wheelchair accessible, although the pathways are a bit narrow.“

“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.“

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

“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!!!“

“Needed a place like this in BH for the longest time!! Coffee is fantastic, the crepes are delicious and the staff and atmosphere tops it all! Run by a great family and has become a daily stop for me.“

“This Panera Bread was inside RPI - which made it hard to find as it did not say that on any map. I was with a friend who had a walker, so that was tough for us, but we really wanted to try it out. Two young ladies helped us get into the building, as the doors we tried were locked. The room was cafeteria style and had flags hanging up around above us. The food, as usual at panera, was delicious and good portion. They had a pastry case filled with dessert. I tried the new lemonade and we both had sandwiches that had just been added to the menu. Nice space, we were able to sit and chat without being rushed. I thought the staff was friendly.“

“I order almost all my teas from Whistling Kettle. Since I discovered them, I have turned into an addict for their Autumn Haze and Lemon Almond Panna Cotta teas. I have always been pretty selective about the teas I drink and this company goes above and beyond with their blends and choices. Their packaging and shipping is also first class! Please make one more batch of Autumn Haze this season so I can buy you out till next year's.“

“While I expected to have Coal Fired Pizza, it wasn't available. That being said the lasagna was excellent, the meatballs had great flavor and you got 4 of them. The spaghetti carbonara was delicious and the penne ala vodka had a red pepper kick to it.

Over all the food was good. I just had a hankering for the pizza and when I saw it advertised on the window I was super excited... but quickly disappointed.“

“Just signed up for the sip club through my phone Perks. Although I failed to show up in the system, the staff attempted to assist, and allowed me to get my first coffee, suggesting there may be a lag and recommending I check later and if I still didn't show up, to come back and they'd help me.“

“We had a delicious lunch at The Moon and River Cafe today. Reubens , Thai fries, beet salad and blueberry pie all vegan and kindly prepared and served by Richard as always. We have been there several times and will definitely be back !“

“I was having some heartburn/indigestion in the parking lot, pacing and slightly heaving, and a young gentleman came out and gave me an ice water and some napkins. I am so grateful for this gesture. I didn't know how to show appreciation, so I will post this.

Thank you, young Sir. Much appreciated.“

“I always enjoy Panera. This trip, my You Pick Two Tuna sandwich and spicy salad were delicious and made to perfection.
I was having a tough time working my gift card in the self use device, and a team member came right over.
Thanks, “

“My husband and I got married at Lucas. We had the time of our lives and can’t believe how amazing the day went. From first tour and booking to packing everything up and leaving, Maeve was absolutely phenomenal to work with. She was smart, easy to work with, responsive, attentive, understanding, and just a calm and collected figure the day of the wedding. We rented all of Lucas and the Garden for our wedding. We did brunch so there was a lot of logistics I was quite worried about since the timeline in the morning was so tight to do an 11am ceremony.

Everything went off without a hitch, we had to delay the start time by 5 additional minutes and that was no problem for them! The venue was decorated beautifully. The front lounge is so sunny in the morning and the space felt so warm and welcoming when people first came in. It was raining on our wedding (good luck for us!) so it was so nice having people walk into this beautiful cozy space. The garden is picture perfect. It felt like a dream. It is not a big space so the space would not work for a larger wedding. The garden is where both our ceremony and our reception took place. The staff flipped the space during cocktail hour (by the bar and front area). When they flipped the space, they made sure to include the specials I requested like putting the centerpieces, program, and name plates out. Maeve even realized I forgot table numbers and quickly went in the back and made some for my 5 tables so guests knew where they were going.

We had a few extras that were around the venue in lieu of dancing and all the little nooks and crannies helped fill the space. For events, they have the buffet on the back wall which was perfect and out of the way. The bar was always packed, and everyone said the bartenders were friendly and fast—just what you want at a wedding. I literally had no complaints from any of my guests and everyone raved about the spot. Most of the guests had never been there and couldn’t believe how different and unique Lucas was from traditional event spaces.
The venue was able to play my playlist over their Bluetooth speakers, Maeve helped control the music for us walking down the aisle and the recessional. The venue was so prepared, it was obvious that they had done several events and are true event professionals. They even let us bring everything the night before and put our flowers in cold storage for us overnight to keep them fresh. We had a few large and bulky items and I had lots of bins. I was worried they weren’t going to have the room to store stuff overnight but Maeve took everything to the back and told me that it wouldn’t be a problem which was a huge relief. I created my own flower centerpieces and was really worried that they would die from Friday to Saturday if they weren’t put somewhere safe. My last rave will be about how unlike traditional wedding venues, Lucas doesn’t nickel and dime you. There were no stupid BS fees like napkin overuse fee, coffee creamer fee, set up fee, Bluetooth speaker fee, etc. The contract stated everything and that is what we were charged which is amazing because most venue I feel look at weddings like a cash grab and Lucas didn’t do that.

Only small con is that one of my guests said the roof in the garden was leaking in one small spot so I would recommend that someone looks at the roof ASAP before we start getting summer thunderstorms.“

“Had a nice lunch Everyone is very helpful and friendly“
