50 Best Cafes near Colonie

“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, “

“Absolutely delicious. I've only had boba once before (at a different location) and it was so...bland? I didn't like it. I tried this place out on a whim with my friends and I was shocked! It knocked it out of the park in regards to taste. I got a milk tea with boba but it was so delicious that I'm still thinking about it! If you want boba go here. If you're nearby, get boba! I cannot hype this place up enough“

“So quaint. Kind staff. Delish food“

“Breakfast sandwiches, avocado toast and home fries were all freshly made and delicious. Grub Hub made delivery easy. Will definitely order again.“

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

“Stop eating fast food, start eating here. Quality, portion size, cost all top notch. Breakfast and lunch. The inside is lovely, their baked goods case is always full with amazing choices. Staff is friendly, atmosphere is fun and relaxed. We order delivery from work often, and i've never been disappointed. We used to mix it up and order from other spots now and then, but now this is our go to. PS - If you get the opportunity, try the reuben soup.“

“I got a simple veggie breakfast burrito this morning and it was really absolutely perfect! The flavors Blended very nicely it was just perfectly delicious. Thank you very much. I stopped here just because I was passing through I passed through this direction fairly often and I'm going to try to make it a priority to stop here when I do“

“Wonderful home fries and beautifully prepared Eggs Benedict with the most perfectly poached egg and tasty Canadian bacon. Just-right portion sizes; not too much food, not too little. My companion's Benedict included a gorgeously plump English muffin. As I cannot eat wheat, my eggs were placed on less fancy, gluten-free bread. That was the only disappointment. Service was attentive but did not hover, as the coffee mugs are large enough that wait staff don't have to come around every three minutes to refill them. The best part of all was the cleanliness. The glass windows and doors were noticeably fingerprint- and smudge-free when I first entered the cafe, and the interior also shone. Importantly, it wasn't clean simply because it is a new establishment. The staff member who cleaned off the table next to us was incredibly thorough, methodically wiping down every inch of its top surface and sides, as well as every seat. It sounds over the top to say it, but the ketchup bottles actually sparkled, and the salt and pepper shakers wore no grease. I complimented the owner on the attention to these details. This was an unexpectedly great breakfast experience and I will be returning to try other items on their menu in the future. Although I was so busy enjoying my meal I didn't think to take photos of the place or our plates, know that it was fresh food, well made, and presented with care. And other people's dishes looked equally good. Also, you can buy one of their mugs to take home with you! Go. You'll love it.“

“This place is fantastic. My husband and I get breakfast sandwiches for takeout quite often and are always happy.

Great breakfast sandwiches that taste fresh and hot with a delicious coffee on the side.

The steak bomb is particularly fantastic. I truly appreciate a place that actually offers carmelized onions and not sauteed that they pass off as caramelized for a quick buck.“

“Great vibe great coffee great food!“

“Great and friendly service!“

“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.“

“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 love this cafe! The food and staff are great and the game selection is so fun.“

Margie and her staff are super cool.“

“My husband is a breakfast connoisseur and said this is the best breakfast he has had ANYWHERE! The Rocky Mountain Benedict’s was delicious and the Cherry Amaretto pancakes were to die for!! The home is gorgeous and SAM was the best server, hostess all around amazing l person ever! This is a must go and eat when in Albany! 5+++++ stars!“

“Stacks was always good to me, I misunderstood the threat made against me for assault by men and I blamed Stacks for having something to do with this. I tried to apologize to the owner but he refuses to accept it. Still it this one was MY fault do to abuses of my disability by people unrelated to Stacks.“

“Bliss is a terrific and delicious cafe with many options for healthy treats, including smoothies and bowls (the Chai spice is my personal favorite!). The ambiance is so cozy the moment you walk through the door, and the staff are always so kind and helpful. Bliss recently added a variety of fun, family-friendly games that make the overall experience even more enjoyable. I could not recommend coming to this cafe more — I love it more and more every time I come!“

“So glad I made the stop in here!! The Chai latte was made from Steeped Chai tea bags vs and the pre-mix which has a lot of sugar and the breakfast crepe was so delicious and big portion, really fresh ingredients. Don’t pass by here without stopping in. Thank you Olivia!!“

This little old town bring so much beauty. Our waitress she is the best! Alexis.. u are amazing and friendly and most of all happy to served us❤️“

“Incredible.“

“One of my favorite local shops. The food and bakery items are delicious. There is such variety in their coffee, cocktails and snacks with the cutest literary names. The selection of books are great and the store itself is a cozy place to hang out with friends or get some work done. It’s really quite a special place!“

“Excellent service! Excellent breakfast!! Thank you“

“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.“

“Thank you for a great cake for my sons Birthday ! They also had some cupcakes. Great service very kind and helpful last minute. Appreciated !“

“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!“

“This cute cafe may only be open for 12 hours a week but it is one-hundred-percent worth it to check out. The food is delicious, the staff are warm and friendly, they make their own craft sodas, and quite frankly parking isn't nearly as bad as you'd expected to be for that part of Troy. The seating is limited, so you want to go earlier rather than later, but it's lovely to go.“

“I highly recommend the sandwiches.“

“Hands down the best coffee and breakfast sandwiches I’ve ever had. I’ve been a Starbucks fan for years but once I tried uncommon grounds I couldn’t go back. Slightly cheaper than Starbucks with my fb higher quality and taste. Lines can get pretty crazy sometimes but I now know the best times to go! So happy we have uncommon grounds in many locations!“

“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!!!“

“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 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.“

“Had to wait a little longer, but understandingly it’s known that most places are understaffed lately.“

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

“Good food, fresh and amazing owners and staff.“

“While another reviewer unfairly blasted Primrose for their location, those of us working nearby find this to be an excellent little cafe to grab a coffee and chat with very friendly staff. Their lattes and prices beat the pants off nearby Stacks, where you pay to finance their bougie Brooklyn ambiance and pretend it's good coffee :)“

“Such a cute little book store and cafe! Found by accident and so glad I did. Many gluten free options. I ordered the chicken pesto on gf bread. Also Delicious coffee. Will be back for sure!

Dietary restrictions: Gluten free options“

“Highly recommended this lovely, feel good restaurant. The atmosphere is warm and cozy. The food is exceptional. We each had one appetizer (4) and all were delicious and full of flavours. Pasta was all denté and tasty; made fresh. All our culinary needs were met fully.“

“stopped in Choices daily for 3+ weeks while a loved one was hospitalized. every time it was a good experience. nice variety of food every day. best part was all of the staff, every day everyone working was kind, polite, professional, and helpful! 10/10 staff!!“

“Great food and great coffee!!!“

“Love it here! Love getting to the to-go teas to last me throughout the work week! All of the flavors are amazing!“

“It’s just a great place to eat and hang out.“

“Nice spot to spend time with family or friends I love their broccoli cheddar quiche,lobster bisque soup and carrot cake for the “afternoon tea” special“

“By 830-900am it's very common they are out of all but 2 or more bagel types. 2 things a bagel/coffee joint shouldn't run low on is coffee and bagels. Place has been mismanaged for years and post pandemic it's even worse. Place wouldn't survive without its proximity to UAlbany“

“Peaches is a great place to catch up with friends. The service is very good and the food is tasty. We tried the Peaches and cream waffles. They were delicious.

Dietary restrictions: They do have the option to switch to gluten free bread, but no GF waffles.“
