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.“

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

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“Great vibe great coffee great food!“

“love everything about this place. Delicious food and wonderful service.“

“You GUYS. I've been gluten free for 10 years now. These are HANDS DOWN the BEST gluten free donuts I have ever had the pleasure of eating. If you're gluten free and haven't tried these yet, You've been sleeping on them! Go get some now!!“

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

“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.“

“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 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 ❤“

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

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

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

“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.“

“Food is decent and experience is overall good.
Muffins are very good.
They will add berries and strawberries to most dishes and not mention that. If you're picky just ask to not have those with the dishes.

I've been here a few times since I'm a college student. Their drinks range but pretty standard.“

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

“The deli sandwich was good! The price is good, and it came with a small bag of chips. I think I’ll start getting my lunch sandwiches from here over a big chain. My small special request was acknowledged. I ordered through Door Dash, so can’t speak to the location/service itself - but very happy with the food.“

“One of the top coffee shops in the capital region.

The bagels are incredible and my freezer is always fully stocked with their day old bagels that they sell bagged up in front of the store. Their cold brew is so smooth and delicious and I’m always a smitten kitten for anyone that won’t charge me extra for oat milk.

The garlic and herb cream cheese is the best I’ve had in my entire life. The service is always perfection and I swear they only hire absolute sweethearts. The vibes are always exactly what I need and if you’re lucky you’ll hear the staff singing along to their favorite songs and their positive energy is enough to make you want to apply here yourself.

This has become my cozy little hangout spot after dropping my daughter off at daycare and I’ll continue to give them all my money always.

Shoutout to the bearded employee with the dunder mifflin tshirt who was just the perfect amount of positive energy to start my morning today. Love love love this place. Parking is always available and super kid friendly too with high chairs, comfy booths, and outdoor seating if they get a little rowdy. All their treats are kid approved by my 2yr old“

“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!“

“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“

“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!“

“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“

“This is the perfect location on the ridiculously long drive to take my mother to her eye doctor. I usually place my app order and it's ready when I arrive, either drive thru or walk in. All the staff have been really pleasant and helpful and I truly enjoy this break in my daily routine.“

“Wonderful mochas and a great staff💕“

“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.“

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

“Ordered a Venti, less Ice, Non fat, 8 pump, Chai Tea Latte. It was made correctly by the male Barista. It was refreshing and satisfying. Thank you.“

“Gotta have my Dunks.“

“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!“

“Whoever made my matcha this morning is amazing. I originally mobile ordered a large chai with vanilla. Drive thru as always was busy and I walk inside to pick up my mobile order and they quickly let me know they were out. I replaced it with a large matcha latte, they made sure to ask if I wanted vanilla still and my drink was out in record time. I still made my ride share pick up time with time to spare. Took a potentially frustrating scenario and absolutely handled it. And my drink is also delicious ? 8/22/23 @5:50am“

It was great, she loved it and was very satisfied with the taste. Staff was very friendly, accommodating and efficient !!“

“Caramel Macchiato! ❤️❤️❤️“

“This cafe is a team favorite. Excellent espresso, clean space and always welcoming.“

“Wow!!!!
Michael: Gotta have the bucks.

Michael: It's like a slang for Starbucks. They're all over the place. Oh, man, that place is like the promised land to me. What a business model too. Ah, too bad we don't have the good stuff here.

Katy: Regular coffee is fine.“

“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“

“Parking: VERY SMALL parking lot directly outfront. There are usually a couple of spaces for parking on the one way street next to it. Not easy to get out of parking lot due to the high volume of traffic throughout the entire day/night(this location is directly across from St. Peter's Hospital)“

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

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

“Fast service, best bagels and coffee with affordable prices!“

“For the older woman who handed me a straw with my orange juice this morning. I'd like to thank you for making my drive to school this morning easier! I didn't have to struggle taking a drink while focusing on the road. I know it's not something that seems like a huge deal but it made my Day so Thank you!“

“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!

Dietary restrictions: Delicious oat milk“

“I appreciate the professionalism that Kyle and his team had during a very busy time this morning. I placed an online order and the order didn’t go through properly. They were kind and attentive in handling the situation while multitasking with a store full of people. I appreciate that.“

“I haven't been to Dunkin' since the name change, but I know why they changed it, now. I got a donut. Dunkin' has never had great donuts, but the donut I had was dry and stale. I didn't finish it. I bought breakfast sandwiches for others; they liked them. No complaints about the coffee drinks. In summary, skip the donuts.“

“As sad as this is to admit I am a creature of habit and after relocating my office close by I stated to go to this Dunkin just about every morning (berry burst and bagel).

The staff during the week are always friendly, have smiles on their faces and are consistent. I know the weekend crew might change a bit so I can't comment on that but the AM team is fantastic!

I am so glad we have a Dunkin location in Altamont!“
