26 Best Cafes near East Greenbush

“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!“

“Came here with two of my close friends for the first time for brunch and a few yummy chai lattes and all three of us loved it! We will be returning for sure. Food was reasonably priced, deliciously simple and looked beautiful upon arrival to our table. Compliments to the chef! Staff was kind and always had a smile. The bonus is that this perfectly quaint cafe is attached to this beautiful little gift shop that’s perfect for finding one of a kind gifts for loved ones. Don’t pass this place up its bound to satisfy!“

“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!“

“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 must’ve passed this placed 5,000 times but never went in. That was a bad move on my part.I tried this place today and it was PHENOMENAL.The atmosphere the choices on the menu, the quality of food, the service and the price - all amazing.You don’t find a lot of diners likes this anymore and it has instantly become my goto diner.“

“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!“

“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“

“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!“

“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.“

“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“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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...“

“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!“

“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 :)“

“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.“

“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!!!!“

“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.“

“Wonderful service from several staff members. We had an omelette and two types of eggs benedict, including one version served over crab cakes. They were all terrific. Certainly not super healthy, but a special day deserves a special breakfast.“
