“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!“
“Gorgeous little gem of a store. Their employees are incredibly nice and friendly, and the yuzu egg tart in particular is a creamy delight. I'd love to try the chocolate one if I can ever get there in time, because they rightfully sell out of tarts quickly.“
“Such a cute bookstore and Cafe. The selection of books was very unique as they had many special edition copies. The children's section was also quite nice and I got a particularly good book for a friend for her upcoming baby shower. They also had a good number of games for sale, many of which I had never even seen before. Excellent place to stop by if you are into books or libraries.“
“Yesterday was my first time here and WOW. I got the lemon pound cake and now...I WANT MORE! Cute little store where you can pick up to go meals, alcohol, basic groceries, and really cute little cook books and how to make recipes with all ingredients included! Will 1000 percent be back.“
“I would give 100 stars if I could! I go here at least once a week sometimes more. Such a large variety and excellent quality ingredients! One of my favorites is the turkey cranberry Panini. Where else can you get turkey cooked right there in their own oven. I do not like deli meat, which is one of the reasons why I come here! Everything is so fresh and cooked right there. My husband and I get their salads once a week and this says a lot because my husband is not a salad person. He likes the Italian mix salad because it’s everything he would get on a sub without the bread. I would list everything I like here but this review would be pages long. I read some of these other reviews and wonder what planet these individuals are from because anyone giving a negative review is either at a different place or has nothing else better to do than write fake complaints. During Covid this was the only place I would eat because it was that clean! The owner truly cares as does the entire staff! Aside of excellent quality food, this is the only establishment I know that gives back to the community in every way possible. Keep doing what you’re doing guys! We love you!“
“Just tried this place out for the first time this morning and it is fantastic. It’s awesome having a quality breakfast spot like this in Center Square - the food is delicious and my breakfast sandwich was easily a 5/5. Keep doing what you’re doing, we’ll definitely be back!“
“Lovely traditional Tuscan restaurant. Great service. Beautiful menu, all pastas are home made. Sauces little too heavy for my taste, but that's a matter of preference. I had the daily special sea bass, there are few things as satisfying as a perfectly-cooked, flaky filet of fish! Very attentive service. Decor is dated and room is dark. But then again more matter of preference.“
“I've had the pleasure of enjoying Alias's espresso in my first and most recent cortado at the weekly Farmers Market??. Today I decided to give a large black cup, no sugar, of their Tarrazú Farm house blend a swirl... This will be a simple review of the Costa Rica cultivated locally-roasted brew: ?!#Crisp #Balanced #RefillWorthy“
“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!!!“
“Such a great coffee shop! Got a double shot latte and a "jalapeno popper" bagel (Plain bagel with a jalapeno cream cheese spread).The coffee was amazing and so was the bagel! Highly recommended. Also, the aesthetic of that shop is very trendy and modern. When we went the place was hoppin'. Very friendly staff. They have a large variety of home made pastries and other snacks.Additional Tip: they have limited parking right next to the shop (3 parallel parking spot with a 15 minute line) but then tons of parking in the back! Enjoy!!!“
“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!“
“Be specific if you want toppings they may be a little short w each topping. Two tempeh strips for a whole sandwich. Very cute environment. Im glad they've been open for a while. Usually very good Updated from previous review on 2023-08-14“
“Welcome to the local breakfast/lunch spot in Albany’s “midtown neighborhood.” The only place that is consistently open 7days per week (6a weekdays, 7a weekends). Great for meetings, quick bites on your way to work (always easy parking early am) or a place to hang out “central perk/“friends style. Everybody will know your name in no-time.“
“Woah. Just had the Big L. Had to grab something quick before catching a bus so went in with no expectations. Service was great. They ran out of whatever bread they usually use for the sandwich and gave me ciabatta instead. Loved it. Broccoli rabe was a nice touch. Big W for the “Big L”“
“This is a cute little cafe with amazing food and delicious Turkish coffee. Me and my mom were looking for a nice breakfast spot and could have not been more pleased. Perfect for savory or sweet breakfast options. We even left with an extra takeout of pastries. Highly recommend!“
“Had lunch here with my daughter, and the food was delicious and the service was outstanding! I ordered the Ballstonian sandwich with a pot of Irish breakfast tea. Our server was kind and attentive and everything was excellent. Can't wait to come back and try something else on the menu!“
“Love this place. The family who runs it does an amazing job and the food is literally ALWAYS great and I’ve been there like 10 times. It’s cute and quaint, but most importantly CLEAN. They also have creative and various options for both breakfast and lunch. My favorite breakfast spot by far!!!!“
“this is my family's go to spot for coffee and caffinated yummy drinks. all the cold berry lattes are really nice and flavourful, the frappes and lattes are just right on the money and the food is always great, and clearly made by people who love what they do. also, the service is excellent. Margie and her staff are super cool.“
“They were super busy and still paid attention to us as soon as we walked through the door. They were quick and everything was great. The quiche was super good and they made sure my kid's food came quickly so he had no reason to whine lol perfect Saturday brunch spot!“
“This is such an amazing place to hang with friends/family!!! Always love going there to snack on the delicious drinks/treats support small artists by browsing the featured products, and of course play from a hugeeee selection of games:) we celebrated a birthday there, and Olivia was such a sweet and amazing employee who went out of her way to make an adorable card and treat our birthday girl:) she really made our night!! Thank you Olivia :))“
“The best cafe, the food is so delicious. Every time I go to Everett road I order food from Mimi’s Cafe. Everything is fresh and delicious. Was excited to hear they will have delivery soon ?????? . Thank you Mimi for delicious sandwich, omelet, French toast, muffins, wraps, croissants with cream cheese. Yummy.Vegetarian options: Sandwich, wrap, burgers, salad, soups, and lot of option for breakfast too.Parking: They have big parking lot.“
“This shop is great! Line is long, rainy and cold out, & Asia is taking orders, making drinks - even suggestions for my complicated request - giving time expectations, & serving up with professional friendliness. It’s good coffee, & fantastic work ethic!“
“What a lovely cafe with wonderful service and great food. I had the sweet potato praline pancakes, a family recipe I hears and they were amazing. I also ordered coffee and a side of sausage, one sausage patty. I enjoyed shopping in the gift store also afterwards.I've been there one before and had a good experience as well and enjoyed a sandwich.“
“I had a lovely intimate lunch with the owner preparing me a delicious omelette and a tomato salad. Highly recommend giving Richard free rein to prepare you “something” around your preferences and dietary restrictions if it’s slow. Ask him about his life and talk to him about world events.“
“Super cute place with high quality sandwiches. Did not feel like they were prepared to handle more than a line of two people though. Was one of five people inside/one of three people waiting for food when I arrived with a friend 15 minutes before it got crowded at 11:40am. My friend got her food at 11:50, but we had to check in twice before I got mine at 12:10. Just sandwiches. They also got the side wrong.Good food and vibe though! Will be back.“
“First timer visit on a family members recommendation. Four star food and service so that is impressive. Five stars for the gal who greeted and seated our seven member party. She was super nice beyond what you can reasonablly expect these days. The french toast was good. The italian toast, bacon and egss were also solid. The standout was the potatos served with the eggs. Cooked to perfection and tasty to boot. Everyone enjoyed the food. The coffee was just okay but it was hot. My only objection was that the place had a smell to it that indicated it might not be regularly cleaned. My wife noticed it as well. Still, in an era where a good breakfast place is increasingly hard to find we overlooked this and the greeter and the food made up for it. Check it out for yourself.“
“Does Stacks Espresso Bar stack up? That is the question on my mind this morning as I try a large cup of their Ethiopian blend. I have it black with no sugar. The roast promises juicy hints of plum and raspberry, and while it doesn't quite hit the juicy mark, it definitely gets points for being fruity-delicious... The reason why it doesn't hit the juicy sweet spot is that I'm not desiring more.... Thumbs up for the semisweet aftertaste!UPDATE: I've returned to Stacks Espresso Bar twice since my first visit on Sunday. I've since tried their cortado, espresso with an equal amount of milk to reduce acidity, and a large cup of their house blend drip coffee, black, no sugar. The cortado was on point, it was only my second time having one. It was very mellow and flavorful. The house blend is my new favorite, right here in downtown Troy, a 15 minute walk from my place. The blend is nutty and smooth, as advertised, and has a slow-sip-worthy bittersweet aftertaste, which I love...“
“Would be 5 except for one thing. I have been here 2x in 3 weeks. I got the same item each time. One experience was not like the other. My sandwich was so overdressed the 2nd time it fell apart. So, just ask for the dressing on side. And then it would be perfect again. Very pleased that this spot is so close to my new home and that it has vegetarian options.Oh. The apple ginger tea is great.Vegetarian options: I got the garden salad sandwich which was very good. Tomatoe soup is also good.“
“The BEST breakfast sandwich!! Everything is made from scratch and cooked in front of you. You want something not on the menu..if they have the ingredients Dan will make it. Prices very affordable …Not many places like this left..small and family owned. Give them a try….plus they DELIVER. There are a few separated tables for eating in.“
“I found Sandyes cafe & cakes on 518 foodies, & after seeing all the reviews, & photos on their page, I had to support! My cake was exactly what I wanted even though I was indecisive - they were so much help & made a beautiful & delicious cake! Highly recommend!!“
“Nice to get a waffle that is actually cooked here as compared to frozen ones. Good coffee. A little pricey, but I guess most places are these days. $19 for a waffle with side of 2 sausage links and coffee. Maple syrup offered for an additional 2 or 3 bucks can't remember.“
“Amazing venue and music! Yes, it is a cafe and investment company in one. Owner Joe made us breakfast (you can't go wrong with The Egg Man breakfast plate!) while Louis Prima music played in the background. My daughter Eden and I hung out and chatted with Joe while we ate. Joe brought out a bucket of instruments and interesting things for a little one to play with. He even had a small zither! With such great conversation and service, we will definitely be back for another amazing morning :)“
“Outstanding! Huge assortment of drinks available. Best DIRTY CHAI EVERRRRR! Both gluten free and regular bread options. Beautiful & tasty treats. The quiche is really good! Several varieties. Service was fast and friendly. I will always stop when I'm in the area!“
“I was Surprisingly, please to have arrived at city line cafe. The vibe was definitely farmed to the table, and the atmosphere was very comforting. It's a great local mom and pop shop. And I couldn't be more happy with the food it was so fresh, made right there in front of me. I'm very fast as well. The 2 workers were very pleasant and nice. 100% a must stop Morning breakfast place.“
“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!!“
“Nice atmosphere and great location and they have outside dining but they offer very little food choices, things like cheese plates etc. And it's expensive. Plus when I hear " confectionary" I think of baked deserts, and there aren't any!“

“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.“
“I always have a good time at this establishment. They're very friendly and the customer service is very fast. I order the Chicken Parm Panini and it was delicious. 9/10!!Parking: There is parking in the back of the restaurant so you will not have to worry about where to park.“
“Wow! I feel terrible for never coming here before, and now they are closing in a few short days! They offer locally roasted coffee, from their sister company "Touchy Coffee", which is living on at another address nearby. In addition to their delicious weekend snacks, crafted by Zve, they offer great coffee and a comfortable space. From my understanding, Zve will be continuing his weekend sandwiches and bagels a the new spot. I wish I could come here again!“
“Ok so I have to recommend this because it’s to unbelievable not to!! So I was doing some research on Bitcon as I have been hearing how others are making big profits from it. So on a wing and a prayer I took the last $500 i had in my account and invested it into Bitcoin Mining and I got some profit in just one day!! I quickly made a partial withdrawal successfully to my Bank account, and reinvested again. It worked with my investment coach Kirstinalbertpalmern. I never thought it possible, I was always skeptical about Bitcoin but it’s“
“I was surprised at how expensive it was. It is a very nice place. The food was excellent and service good. And the ambiance is unique and interesting. However, the prices were unreasonable high, for my taste. For example, one of us had a hamburger - $18 and a draft beer $9.“
“I have never given a five star review. At most, a 4. I was saving my 5 for something out of this world and let me tell you, this is it!!!!! The best breakfast sandwich I have EVER had in my 29 years on this earth. I mean they say a photo says 1,000 words… just look how beautiful she is??!!!!?? I have no further comments on the subject…Just trust me on this one, do yourself a favor and get there right now!!!!!! I mean seriously, why are you still reading this? If you’re reading this beyond business hours then get your sleeping bag ready to camp outside so you can be the first customer when they open their heavenly doors at 6am. Every second you waste could be another second closer to a delectable party for your taste buds. Get going!!!!“
“Came here tonight for the first time. Service was quick. There were quite a good amount of customers inside.Good was excellent. I had the same thing I had last time at the other location: soup + pizza. This time got her mango smoothie.5/5 from me.“
