Coffee Shops near Cohoes

“Love Babe’s. I’ve always put it at the top of my breakfast places to eat. Great small town atmosphere that is very rare these days as far as I can see. Paula and Patti have a real winning place to get a great breakfast with big portions for a very fair price. Check it out.“

“I love that I can order ahead and have it ready at the drive thru. I’m always greeting like they’re happy to see me again!“

“Pancakes are really good.“

“After buying a Niche Zero, I needed to buy a new coffee machine to replace the BaristaBrew. I went to their site and Mark gave me a thorough review on the machine that caught my eye (Rancilio Silvia Pro X). Their price was comparable to other sites, but the bottomless portafilter was actually cheaper. Plus free shipping? Good deal. Thanks Chris' Coffee.“

“The associates are sweet and wonderful. I love everything about this place so far. The patrons seem to include some of the happiest, loveliest, most interesting people. I have actually had spontaneous conversations here...wow, conversations, and nice ones. That's special. I adore Jacob Alejandro!“

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

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

“Good food and great coffee.“

“While passing through for a short visit to the UAlbany campus, we researched some healthy and affordable lunch options nearby. We are so glad we found Simone's! This place is so cute on the outside, and fast, affordable, and delicious on the inside! The portions were huge, the food was fresh, and the prices were competitive with chains like Chipotle or Panera. 5/5!“

“Absolute delicious!!! We had Cider Belly be our wedding dessert and they were a hit!! Everyone loved all the delicious flavors and the beautiful display! Jen was amazing to work with from the beginning. They even put a special box aside for the newlyweds to ensure they also get so enjoy the yummy doughnuts!“

“The coffee and chocolate cookies were so good we had to run it back twice in the same weekend. The chocolate chip cookies were FANTASTIC, TERRIFIC, SPECTACULAR! The ambience was so beautiful, loved the green and bronze accents. Lots of seating in different areas throughout that gave different vibes, including outdoor seating. & the service was great. Staff were inviting, friendly, and patient. All signs of great customer service!“

“Just returned from having a wonderful lunch at Tailored Tea. My husband had a chicken potpie and I had a warm turkey, apple and spinach wrap. They were both delicious. Along with our lunch my husband had English breakfast tea and I had pomergranate, white tea, Berry etc. and they were both delicious too. The restaurant was a little noisey, but our lunch compensated for the noise. When you go to Tailored Tea plan on having a leisurely meal and spending at least an hour or more there.“

“Fifth Tier has become my favorite place to visit on the weekend. The food is heavenly and the space is so inviting and comfortable. The staff ALWAYS helps and makes you feel at home. I highly recommend!“

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

“I went here for the first time a while back and someone named Rin(?) was so helpful. They explained the menu to me and gave their recommendations. You don't get that type of customer service often nowadays. Not even at Starbucks. I will 100% be coming back.“

“Stopped in there today for my first time and I was very impressed, great cappuccino. I’m about to be a regular customer 5 Stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Truly amazing and delicious coffee\nStaff are wonderful, competent and excel in the art of customer service.\nEmeline, in particular was our server, she went above and beyond, making us welcome, a star ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️\nAs a nurse myself, I appreciate how difficult it is presenting to the public in a positive manner regardless of our own hurdles.\nkeep being you Emeline, the world needs more loving and caring people like you.\nKeep up the good work.“

“Great vibe! Delicious breakfast & terrific bloody Mary’s and other cocktails..!“

“As a queer woman in America, with a disability and a service dog... there are many places in this world where I do not feel comfortable, accepted, or even tolerated- much less welcomed. Any time I want to stop into a new place, I get a stomach ache outside, wondering whether people who don't know the ADA, or who don't understand what it's like to be challenged in every doorway for your right to exist, are going to mess up my day. (If you're a person with a service dog, then you know what I mean.) Today, though, I stopped by Cafe Euphoria and finally went in to eat. I can't tell you how happy I am to have found this place exactly as welcoming, warm, and fabulous as everyone had told me it would be. I had just had such a nerve racking morning. All I needed was to sit down worth warm comfort food, and not be bothered. A person in my situation can't take for granted that I can get such a thing in a public place. A lot of people wanna give me notes about the dog. I walked in with my dog, and no one treated me like a pariah or try to tell me I needed to show "papers" to exist in public. Instead, everyone was warm, friendly, and accepting! My dog and I are fairly new to each other. She is completely trained, both in her public access skills and in the tasks she performs to assist me. But in my experience, the whole first year together is really a time of learning to work together and work out any kinks in training. I discovered one today, when a burst of wind suddenly pushed open the door and began flapping papers hung near the door, at exactly the same moment that two guests suddenly stood up to greet each other right next to our table. My dog was surprised, and for a brief moment her training fell apart, with a sharp, brief, yelp of surprise on her part! This is a thing that can happen, even in a well trained dog - they're like people, and we all have our moments. But I've been in many situations where such a thing might have caused all the nasty, snarky little things being whispered around us suddenly get loud and blatant. Technically speaking, a business is not required to allow even a svc dog to misbehave in public, so they could have come over to get gate-keepy over that. (I was pretty embarrassed, as I've had a service dog for my entire adult life and I try to be more pro about it than that. I was actually prepared to just get up and leave, in case anyone was bothered.) But when I looked up, no one was giving me the hairy eyeball! No one was frowning at me, nobody was whispering accusations about my dog not being a "real" service dog. Instead, most people just went on with whatever they were doing, and those who met my eye just smiled warmly, full of acceptance and calm. The server even asked her name, with a bright and sincere smile. God, if you're not a person who is assisted by a service animal, you've NO IDEA both how rare and how special that kind of respectful acceptance can be. EVERYONE wants to patronizingly able- splain to me why they don't think they need to follow the ADA, why they don't think I've got the right to be there, or why they don't "believe," as though their beliefs should matter here, that my dog is really a service dog. This is such a relentless feature of my life that I am flooded with gratitude any time it doesn't happen that way. So much love to Cafe Euphoria! What a lovely, welcoming place. The food was DIVINE! What a welcome change from some of the other places I've been in this region. (Oh the stories I can, and prolly will at some point, tell about businesses not NEARLY this cool!) THANK YOU CAFE EUPHORIA!!!“

“Best hidden treasure in the Captial region. The food was so good. Worth the small time to wait. It's hidden in an office building. It's middle eastern food. I had a beef Ruben and my wife a Gyro. Even the fries were fabulous.“

“Excellent smoothies & very affordable! Great for this heat!! The bowls are really good too!“

“Finest coffee in the capital district!“

“miss the coffee club from many years ago. it was amazing and educational at first, then another person within the coffee club got on a "power trip, and ruined the entire thing". when the coffee club first started it was an amazing way to have a bite to eat, gather with friends, learn about different coffee's and roasts... once the other person took over, it was Mandatory to reserve a spot, and then this individual raised the cost to almost double the cost, with a very limited menu, which this individual revamped the menu to suit their needs ... I get it , there are food allergies, and may be vegetarian or gluten free foods.. their was no longer any input from anyone else in the coffee club... and then the portions and coffee and teas were limited.... I was extremely disappointed.... it only one individual to ruin a great night out with friends“

“Heavenly scones, healthy menu choices, friendly, welcoming staff and a lovey atmosphere. The shopping is so much fun there too, and the sweatshirts are excellent quality!“

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

“I had a nice Hoilday Lattee coffee It was good The service was good“

“The coffee was just ok; I'd skip the pastries. Fairly priced. This is a great place to work, provided you can find a table (has outlets and Wi-Fi)! The best part is they're open past 3pm, which none of the other coffee shops nearby do.

You may have to share a bench with a stranger even if sit at your own table, and they're pretty light so they slide around a bit.“

“I was so excited when I first learned that we have a Joe's here! They're the perfect alternative to both Starbucks and Dunkin'. I love the cozy vibes of everything they do while still being convenient and customizable. Joe's quickly has become my go-to for breakfast and coffee!“

“This place is pleasant and friendly.
They have this Blueberry Pancake Latte that is not on the menu and it's fire.

My special request sandwich was outstanding.
The homie that put it together is a master at their craft.

That latte, tho...🤌🤌🤌“

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

“Rich and his crew are the best hands down. Always greeted with a good morning and a smile. Make it a point to stop here most mornings, hopefully someone from corporate can see how this crew works because this is how it should be doneRich and crew awesome job!!!!!!“

“Great place with quick service“

“I had the yummiest mocha latte this afternoon, but even better than the latte was the wonderful atmosphere! I'll be back! ❤️“

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

“we stopped in tonight to see Buggy Jive and Amelia Ray. they put on a great show. MoJo's had all sorts of beverages. The coffee was amazing!!“

“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! 🫶💛“

“Wonderful mochas and a great staff💕“

“A well-known company for coffee and bakery products of all kinds
Small parking lots and indoor and outdoor metal sessions
A dedicated and wonderful work team, especially the branch manager who communicates via the microphone. He is interactive, courteous, and a master of the highest order in his manners and reception.“

“Can’t say enough about this place! The egg and cheese biscuit and the tahini butter and jam sunflower toast were amazing! We enjoyed the cold brew as well. Cool industrial decor. This is a must stop place for us on our way to upstate and VT. Thanks for the great service!“

“We used Carols to cater a baby shower— not only were the options great, they gave us a good price, all the food was fresh and delicious, and it was exactly the right amount of food for the number of guests. I would definitely use them again and recommend for anyone looking for good local catering options!“

“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.“

“The combination of good food and a friendly staff can significantly enhance any dining experience. It is a pleasure to find a place where both the quality of the meal and the service are commendable. When the prices are also moderate, it creates a sense of value for the customers. This balance often leads to a positive and memorable visit.“

“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!“

“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“

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

“The Bubble Tea options at Gong Cha are stupendous! I have tried several flavors, throughout the past month, but I especially enjoy their strawberry milk tea -- so flavorful, and little chunks of strawberry. Personally, I find that double tapioca better aligns the rate of boba consumption with the rate of tea consumption, so that they both run out at the same time. While the cost per drink is more than I paid at my previous favorite bubble tea store, the quality here is worth the small increase in price.“

“This cafe is a team favorite. Excellent espresso, clean space and always welcoming.“

“Well, know, it sounds strange, every Starbucks is different. I had been spending my reading time at the one in Guilderland however, they depersonalized it taking away any signs of individuality such as blackboards, the cute name that the previous manager had for the location, and it now is completely homogeneous. Today I came to this location, and although it has some personality with one blackboard things like the trivia question and the rotating joke reasons for the purpose of the tip jar are long gone. This location is also much larger, less cozy, and the furniture is not as comfortable. Wooden chairs with minimal padding. The beverages were good. The next stop will be the one further east on Western Avenue and see if that still retains some individuality in a smaller cozier branch. Thanks to barista Paloma, always friendly and has a great first name!“

“Had the pleasure of running errands in this area and decided to check out this Stacks location. Their coffee never disappoints and their service is always great. Tried the Espresso Sunrise this morning- I love how creative they are with flavors!“

“We love this Dunkin! Their staff is always chipper and friendly- even at our very early morning’s visits! Don’t know how they do it, but it starts my day with a smile - many thanks— oh and the coffee/wraps/ chocolate glazed are the best. Keep it going!!“
