Grahams knocked my morning out of the park 🥰 I came in slightly overwhelmed by the menu since it was my first time walking in but the staff walked through it gently and gave recommendations. I tried their new special latte and it is perfectly balanced, not too sweet, not too bitter. The vegan bagel and cream cheese? To die for. And don’t listen to the review that says they don’t fill a cup for light ice…I got a perfectly filled cup WITH light ice. Clean atmosphere, not too loud music for an early morning moment, and totally worth the $12. What are you WAITING for, a formal invitation?
Oh, and as a person with a nonconventional name, props for not only spelling it right after asking, but pronouncing it right when giving me my order. 10/10

My wife and I have been regulars here for years (since they opened). The drinks are very tasty and made well, however, when I ask for light ice, I am handed a cup that is clearly not filled all the way. This has happened to me a few times here, but I just assumed it was a new employee. This last time, I complained and was told that this is the owners policy. Here is my message to the owner: If it is costing you too much money to give people a full drink when they ask for light ice (some of us don’t like the drink gone in 5 sips due to excessive ice), then just charge more for a light ice option. I didn’t ask for a 24oz drink in hopes of being handed 20 oz of liquid in a 24 oz cup. Please don’t take this personally, but it’s discouraging when I specifically seek out this place to support a local establishment which I enjoy going to, just to be skimped for probably cents worth of liquid.

Fun drink and pastry options, and cozy atmosphere

My husband and I tried this place for the first time. He ordered the strawberry shortcake iced latte. His latte was bitter and strong. I got the almond cookie iced latte. Which was reasonably better. Tasted like Ameretto. The atmosphere was LOUD. Too many people sitting and waiting with the music sounding over it all. Not a quiet place to work/study and enjoy a coffee.
We both ordered an everything bagel. Both toasted. One should have had plain cream cheese, the other garlic and herbs. Both came out burnt and with garlic and herb cream cheese.
When doing reviews I always state try for yourself before you judge because my experience could be different then yours.
5/10- only because the staff and service were on point.

I’ve been wanting to come in to Graham’s Coffee Parlor for a while now. Finally stopped in today & I’m so so so glad I did. The vibes and energy in there is beyond amazing and calm. Always something I look for when trying to find a nice solo spot for myself. My Iced Caramel Americano, and my Toasted Everything Bagel with the Vegan Chipotle Pepper cream cheese was all a 10/10.
Definitely one of my go to solo spots from now🤞🏽
Thank you for the experience girls💕

Best coffee in Albany!! They make the syrups in house, staff is friendly, sometimes a bit busy on the weekend but the line is short. I really love the coffee here!!

Went to the original location for the first after seeing an interview on the local news about a second location opening. We ordered a variety of items and coffee's. Everything was fresh and delicious! So glad we stopped!

I am literally depressed with the removal of smoothies!!! We ordered them nearly weekly and now I want nothing to do with it. I’m so sad!!
I recommend this coffee shop. The staff was so kind and they had a decent amount of seating and a ramp for wheelchair accessibility.

I moved up here recently and am used to incredible coffee. It’s been a struggle to find a spot. Today I got a simple drip coffee with a shot of vanilla and almond milk. Walked to my car took a sip and immediately said ”Holy Shit!” that might be the best cup of coffee I’ve had ever!

Coffee is amazing, I had a pistachio latte which was delicious and beautiful. Food was all homemade with gluten free options and minimal ingredients. They make their own syrup with no preservatives. For someone with food sensitivities this place is a heaven!

Great local coffee shop. Get more bang for your buck than you do at Starbucks.
