50 Best Coffee Shops near Niskayuna

“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! 🥰“

“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.“

“Needed a place like this in BH for the longest time!! Coffee is fantastic, the crepes are delicious and the staff and atmosphere tops it all! Run by a great family and has become a daily stop for me.“

“Great vibe great coffee great food!“

“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!“

“Hey guys I am from northwest Arkansas where 7 brew was founded. If you wanna try something different ask for their secret menu. And the Santa’s cookie can be made into a blondie!!! Glad to see this place is getting the recognition and growth they deserve!“

“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.“

“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 .“

“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.“

“I went here this morning on my way to my daughters appointment & its the second time I have visited this location. I just wanted to say that the employees that work here are compassionate & friendly. The place is so clean and well-kept. The girl who answered the headset and the man at the window were both soooo very sweet and inviting. I had a rough two days & it sounds so simple but It made my start to my day so much better & I just wanted to let them know it didn't go unrecognized ❤“

“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!“

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

“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“

“I have been to this 7 Brew more times in the past couple months than what is probably good for my health and wallet. BUT— it’s okay because they have a TON of sugar free options here and the coffee is always delicious. The staff are always friendly and fun to talk to and willing to give recommendations if you need.“

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

“looking for a great spot to dine at. Stop here: the food is amazing.“

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

“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.“

“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 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Among a couple other things, picked up one of your little Key Lime Pies today. Soooooo delicious!“

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

“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!“

“This place is phenomenal! The owner and other patrons are so kind and inviting! We called whilst traveling from out of town during Christmas just hoping someone may have food available, and the owner texted me personally when the call was missed to let me know he was open and to come by for breakfast! Saved our butts, we had lost hope. Everyone was incredibly nice and the food was so good! Highly recommend if you're in the area.“

“Looking for a brunch place on a Sunday while visiting and VERY happy to have found Ambition. The staff was very friendly and accommodating for our party of six, never feeling put-off by the size of the party, and were kind enough to move some tables to make it all work. The server was friendly and efficient, quick to bring the food as it was ready, as well as with any additional requests (thanks, Maddie!). The food was DELICIOUS--great blueberry pancakes, eggs, breakfast potatoes, strawberry french toast, omelets, blueberry waffles, and more. The Bloody Mary was outstanding--on par with The Ruby Slipper in New Orleans. DEFINITELY recommended by everyone in our party!“

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

“Wonderful mochas and a great staff💕“

“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...🤌🤌🤌“

“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.“

“A great place to get a bagel and coffee. My personal favourite is lox on everything bagel but they’ve got a decently big menu so everyone gets their preference. It was my go to breakfast place during my visit to the capital area. Check it out.“

“Gotta have my Dunks.“

“Such a great place to grab coffee and a delicious breakfast and/or lunch. The staff there is so friendly, even in the midst of being slammed busy every time I go in. Great job Clifton Park location!“

“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.“

“Not quite a da Vinci masterpiece.

Wanted to try to place for a while now but their kitchen hours would end just before I could get out of work on a normal day, but at some point they started to sell liquor and thus were forced to keep the kitchen open during all hours. Works for me.

Ordered online using their website, going with a slice of the quiche, a Vanilla Protein shake, and the Joe Buss'n which comes with chips. Came to just under $36 with tip, pretty standard for Cafe local.

Pickup was simple, right on the outer side of the mall, though they were waiting to make the final touches on my shake. Which as soon as I got it I could tell it was really, watery, which I confirmed back in my car. Typically the protein shakes I have had are thick, like a smoothie, I mean I added bananas, blueberries, strawberries, peanut butter, and a handful of flavors. Yet it was about as thick as the almond milk I picked. Great flavor mind you, great flavor, but no substance or body. To say I was disappointed, would be about right.

Back home I dug into the quiche and the sandwich. The quiche was like many I have had, great cheesy and eggy flavor, the crust was buttery, and the veggies added a nice refreshing edge. Pretty solid. The amusingly named sandwich was, different, but in a mostly ok way. Loved how crispy the ciabatta bread was, the pepper jack was a great choice, chicken and bacon was good, and the veggies were also great, but something about the BBQ sauce muddled the waters. I don't know why, it should have been a good compliment to the meat, maybe it was just too intense? Whatever the reason I found the sandwich to be pretty whatever, nothing to write home about.

Overall, prices match typical cafe fare, service was good, shake and sandwich were disappointing, quiche was good.“

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

“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!“

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

“** PLEASE LIKE & SHARE PUR REVIEWS. **
Wheelchair accessible. With fresh snow fall, this Dunkin looks like something out of a snow village. It is located near a plaza with several other shops.
Clean, plenty of seating & fast wifi service. Stopped in to do a quick interview for a potential new agent and ordered some snacks. The service seemed speedy and kind.
Their restroom is very clean & they have tumblers and other Dunkin merch avail. They have a drink cooler and seating for all types : high back stools, booth, tables, high table.
Can order online for pick up or drive thru.“

“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!“

“Caramel Macchiato! ❤️❤️❤️“

“My daughter and I stopped in for a quick snack. I had the strawberry frappe and she wanted a chocolate milk out of the cooler. They were all out so the staff offered to make her a fresh cup of it. It was great, she loved it and was very satisfied with the taste. Staff was very friendly, accommodating and efficient !!“

“This Starbucks is hands down one of my favorite spots! The team here always goes above and beyond to provide exceptional customer service, making every visit a pleasure. I hope one day they start offering this Cucoon sleeve, a game-changing dual-use heat sleeve that unfolds into a napkin. It would be the perfect eco-friendly addition to their already amazing experience! #CupCucoon“

“first time visiting. the food was outstanding. Had the Vermont turkey sandwich and the Rachel. Debby the cashier was great. So helpful and patience with us. she made us feel so welcome. we will be back. Not just because of the great food. But also because of Debby.“

“I visit this Dunkin’ location frequently and always receive great service. The staff are extremely friendly and service is always very quick in the drive through. I have never had an issue with any of my orders here. The prices at this Dunkin’ are very fair and I find them to be cheaper than alternative locations nearby. Highly recommend!“

“Cobb Salad - generous and delish - allthe classic ingredients including nice chunks of avacado!“

“Love their coffee. Friendly service.“

“This particular Dunkin shows that not all Dunkin Donuts are the same. I go out of my way to go to this Dunkin because the people working are always friendly, they are fast and efficient. I have been going there for 5 years or more and I think I have had had order messed up maybe twice and both times they were more than happy to fix it. I always refer people to this dunkin“

“I'm staying at Rivers casino where this star bucks is located. Im treated like I'm at a 5 star restaurant in Manhattan. This is my 3rd visit to the Starbucks here and each visit I'm greeted with a smile and a pleasant voice and over the top service
I've never left a review for Starbucks
I just had to“

“TBH I usually stay away from Dunkin's but I haven't been to this one until the other day. We were tight on time so tried it out and were so surprised!! It was soooo good, we were blown away. Bravo! Lattes were better than Starbucks, donuts and bagel minis were fresh and delicious. We will be back!
