Coffee Shops near Colonie

“I like this place a lot great service and great product, cinnamon roll my favorite coffee! You can get it hot or cold with only drive thru service!!! For a small you will pay about $5.50 but it’s better than Dunkin’ and Starbucks !!“

“I drive through here five days a week to get my coffee and sometimes breakfast. All of the staff at the drive-through window are so sweet, very kind and very efficient. They have never ever gotten my order wrong. I used to go to the Dunkin’ Donuts in Clifton Park and it was terrible there so I love the colony location.@ and only come here on my way to work now! Great job to the management on hiring wonderful staff.“

“I visited this Dunkin' to see if they could help me fix my drink. I had gone to a different Dunkin' earlier, and my drink was too bitter. I wanted to see if they could add an extra pump of flavor to make it sweeter. The staff was extremely kind and fixed my drink, even adding extra ice and giving me a new lid. I am very grateful for their help. Unfortunately, I can't remember the name of the girl I spoke to, but she had blonde hair and, I believe, blue eyes. Overall, I'm thankful for the service I received and would be happy to return to this location again.“

“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!“

“Highly recommend this establishment - which has a cool atmosphere, delicious pastries, smoothies, and bowls, not to mention friendly customer service. I am not a coffee drinker but if I am anywhere near Graham's and have the opportunity to make a stop, it is a must for me. Extra fun when the owner is up front to say hello. Not to mention her social media content has always been awesome! If you haven't made it a point to go, you need to!“

“Local gem. We <3 Brewtus!!!“

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

“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!“

“This morning myself and my friend came in for breakfast for the first time and had some amazing food . This was my first time in a vegan restaurant and the food was tasty and the coffee was great ! This spot is worth a try and a nice change from a conventional breakfast .“

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

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

“Everything is made with love. Food is delicious and fresh. Staff is attentive, friendly, and you always feel right at home. BEST hollandaise in the 518! Best benedict(and variations).Really cool how the chefs come out to say hi, and ask how your food is. A truly excellent experience over all. Bonus- if you have a child, or a grown up that likes trains, its right on the tracks! 110% recommend!!!“

“amazing costumer service. delicious donuts and really good coffee!! I can't wait to go again!“

“Very lovely owners. Husband and I stopped in for a bite to eat. It was our first time in as we try local spots and very glad we did! Small clean little cafe and the service was exceptional. Very friendly service and I even had to ask a patron what she had ordered because it looked so good! Good portions and prices. We will have to give lunch a try next time.“

“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.“

“Awesome gluten free products. Coffee and lemonades are great!!“

“We really enjoyed this restaurant. The fact we can substitute any meat with Portobello mushrooms opened up the menu for me. The staff was fun and energetic, and the ambiance was eclectic and playful. We enjoyed looking at all of the decor. The menu items have fun names. We both got the bluffin with my muffin, mine with mushroom and his as on the menu. That raspberry chipotle sauce really slaps! They have what looks like the original bar (very old building in Schenectady) and they serve alcohol.“

“I went to The Scene this morning with my daughter in law and two granddaughters It’s a very charming place with cute decor. The service was excellent. My DIL and one of my granddaughters ordered from the lunch menu — a delicious panino and a yummy wrap. My other granddaughter ordered the Nutella Waffle. It was amazing. Alas, I ordered the avocado toast and it was very disappointing. It was very skimpy — very little avocado on one slice of bread. No poached eggs or burratta on the side. No fresh fruit. Very boring. Just seemed like an afterthought. I’ll be returning but will never order the avocado toast again.“

“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!“

“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“

“Good food and great coffee.“

“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!!!“

“I love 7 Brew and I love this location, but I was extremely concerned by what I saw during my most recent visit.

There were easily around 30 yellowjackets flying around inside the employees’ workspace. What originally caught my attention was watching one employee valiantly swinging at them while simultaneously trying to do their job. Once I looked closer, I realized just how many yellowjackets were flying around the employees. There were screen partitions in place, but at that point they appeared to be doing more to keep the yellowjackets trapped inside the workspace with the employees than actually keeping them out.

As a customer, it was honestly alarming to watch. Employees should not have to spend an entire shift dodging and swatting yellowjackets while trying to make drinks and serve customers. Aside from being distracting and stressful, there is also the very real possibility of someone being stung or having a serious allergic reaction.

This is a workplace safety issue that management/ownership needs to take seriously. Please get a professional exterminator out there and properly address whatever is attracting or allowing this many yellowjackets into the workspace. Having employees continue working under those conditions is unacceptable“

“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“

“nice place friendly staff... good coffee and chai... love the cinnamon roll“

“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.“

“My wife Barbara and I stopped in for a coffee after our Grandsons Flag Football game next door. My wife surprised me with a small order of Spaetzle Mac & Cheese. As a person raised on my German Grandmother's Spaetzle I can honestly say Amped's Spaetzle was unbelievably delicious! Anyone reading this should stop by, say hi to the owner Cindy and prepare to be dazzled! You'll be glad you did.“

“The food was sooo good! excellent service by our waiter. Will return!“

“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.“

“So glad we stumbled into this lovely cafe in center square! We met the owner and her husband, both extremely kind and welcoming. We had a matcha and Turkish coffee which we both enjoyed. The pastries are homemade by the owner’s mother, the baklava and almond chocolate croissant were both delicious and fresh. We can’t wait to go back again! Highly recommend.“

“We visited this family-owned restaurant today, and we left with the warmest memories. The owners are incredibly welcoming and friendly, and the food is absolutely delicious. We will definitely stop by again whenever we are in the area. I highly recommend this place to everyone — you won’t regret it! 🥰🥰🥰“

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

“Just had an Awesome specialty coffee and delicious cheesecake! Highly recommend this place. Very nice and friendly staff too!“

“I waited in line for only about three minutes and the person who took my order was extremely friendly and helpful when I asked about what sugar-free flavors they had. Once I had ordered my drink, I only waited a few minutes for my drink to come out. The whole experience is insanely positive. The only thing was there were bees around the windows of my car when I was waiting for my drink with my window down. But I know they cannot control that.“

“What an enjoyable experience, I came in after a workout and wanted something quick and healthy. I opted for the hummus platter and a matcha latte with pistachio flavoring, which was recommended by the barista upfront who was great. My hummus platter was fantastic and so was my latte and both together were only $15, you can’t beat that. The atmosphere is quiet and calm and I had a great light lunch!“

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

“Wonderful mochas and a great staff💕“

“Solid spot!!! Coffee was excellent“

“I love this Starbucks! Everyone is always so nice and awesome. I love the great aura and comforting feeling I get every time I come here. Makes me want to come here everyday! 🥰“

“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!!“

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

“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!“

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

“This is a really cool coffee shop, and their prices are great too!! I absolutely love their coffee and bagels, and I really love their soup. Their lattes are so amazing. And they get almond milk to foam a lot too. Most places can't do that. I try their special and seasonal lattes a lot, but lately I've been going a lot, so I got tired of the same amazing latte, so I tried the caramel latte, and Oh, THAT WAS GOOD. I've had a caramel latte before, but that one was SO good. I definitely recommend it. They do have a ton of options, I like to get the cinnamon raisin bagel with PB and J. It is really good. They have super good cream cheese here too. I definitely recommend that too. And the bagel sandwiches? 😋😋. I recommend getting the Mediterranean sandwich. I really love this place and hope you do too!!!“

“Station Six is truly a hidden gem! I had the chance to try the coconut mocha latte and the banana latte, and omG both are absolutely delicious! I love how they have all these unique coffee flavors. Im excited to try a few other ones next time.
This cafe has a super cool industrial style too which is very inviting. This is the kind of place where you just want to sit back and enjoy your morning. They also have a great variety of breakfast sandwiches and delicious pastries. Station Six is definitely worth checking out. I highly recommend! ❤️
(I will be adding photos to my review the next time I'm back, I forgot to take photos this time since I devoured my food as soon as I got it! Lol)“

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

“All around positive experience. The good was awesome, the staff were friendly, and the restaurant was clean.“

“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! ☕️“
