This is my favorite coffee spot in the area. The drinks are always perfect whether you get them hot or iced and they have a lot of different flavors & combinations compared to some of the other places that might only have 4 or 5 flavors to choose from. Their oatmeal raisen cookie was the best I've had in a long time. We always have a hard time deciding between the breakfast burritos (get the salsa) or the bagels. Their cream cheese varieties are so good and the bagels are warm and toasted but still so soft. Even when it's packed, they are still quick getting drinks out.

The staff are completely incapable of getting a simple order right, i order a plain bagel with lox, lettuce, onions, and mayo. And never once have I had my order taken correctly or made correctly. This last time the order came out as literally lox onions and cream cheese on a bagel. I won’t be shopping here again as apparently they are incapable of making my order correctly.

I got an Iced Latte with Oatmilk and it was pretty good. However, I was in the middle of a conversation when they called my name at the counter. Maybe 60-90 seconds passed when they screamed out “last call for Ben” as if they were going to toss my drink out if I didn’t run to the counter. When I went to pick it up, the entire counter was empty besides my drink and the barista gave me a snide look as if I had broken the law. They need to relax. They’re a cramped coffee shop in Schenectady, not a sought after hot spot in Manhattan.

The staff at buds on jay are amazing. They always ask if your allergic to whatever is in the drink. I had one allergic reaction awhile ago to one of there frozen drink because I didnt know they used a stabilizer that has coconut in it.(totally my fault not there's) I let them know when I went in again and they told me and now they make my frozen drinks with the stabilizer. The food is amazing and the atmosphere is calm and soothing. I would recommend Buds on Jay to anyone that asks for a great coffee shop.

what a cool spot! cold brew was delish and my boyf got a latte with bourbon espresso that was really unique and yummy! wish i brought quarters to play games on their arcade game tables!!!! will be back with quarters!
My coworkers ordered lunch to celebrate the anniversary of my employment. I ordered The Toby Did it on gluten free bread with chips and a pickle. I did not receive a pickle or onions on my sandwich, they used the smallest ingredients possible for my sandwich, which was dwarfed by the barely toasted bread. The few bites of sandwich that I actually got tasted ok. See photo for more.
