I am vegan, and I grew up in Schenectady; so when I am home I try to stop by or order something here.The food is decent. Nothing creative, complicated nor inspired, but decent simple vegan fare done fresh and cleanly.It is a lunch spot that closes at 4.I just came from there, and the woman working the counter told me the kitchen was closed, because they close at 4.I left, went to my car, drive 5 minutes -- then looked at the clock to see if was then 3:48... I ordered a Reuben sandwich... Either your open to serve until 4... Or you're open til 3:30 and your staff works until 4... But if that is the case -- don't say you are open until 4.I am disappointed. I was looking forward to that Reuben on my whole ride from Massachusetts

The food here is outstanding, and the staff is knowledgeable and decidedly customer-service oriented. I could eat here every day.

I always have to stop when in Schenectady. They have the best iced chai around and their cookie dough bars are so good! Staff is friendly and atmosphere is great! Highly recommend even if you aren’t vegan.

Really good vegan food, and the pastries are on point. It’s the daily place to eat when you’re on a Daniel fast. Makes the fast less boring and easy to get through.

What a superb place to have a meal! My wife and I are both vegan, and we love finding plant-based cafes to enjoy some tasty food. Take Two Cafe was awesome.Stopped in on a Sunday afternoon. It’s a small place, and all the tables were taken. No biggie, the person who warmly greeted us and took our order assured us that a table was opening up soon.We ordered tea and coffee (both tasty), and had some food. Bacon egg and cheese on a bagel, Mac Wrap, and a Curry Chicpea wrap. Waited a few minutes, and sure enough, a table opened up. Sat a few more minutes sipping coffee, and our food was delivered to our table.Remember: all vegan. The bacon egg and cheese bagel was scrumptious. The Mac Wrap was perfect; BBQ seitan, Mac and cheese, slaw, and tastiness was all wrapped up together. Served with chips and a pickle. Soooo good.My wife had the curry chickpea wrap and said it was amazing. It was served with a side of potato salad. She loved it.We sat and chatted over our meal, and the server checked in on us once. Perfect.After our lunch, we picked up some desserts to bring home. It. Was. All. Amazing.All told, lunch was $50.00 for three plates and two hot bevvies. Add another $17 for the desserts at the end. We left super happy, satisfied, and talking about how we can’t wait to come back.EVEN IF YOU ARE AN OMNIVORE, you owe it to yourself to come and try this cafe. It’s awesome with a super chill vibe and delicious food!

Absolutely delicious. Pure vegan but regardless of your dietary requirements you'll love this place.
Tasty food and friendly service! However, I must say, for those looking to dine in, there is very limited seating and no bathroom. They did let me go behind the counter to wash the hands though.

My experience here was great! The staff was pleasant and kind. This is an all vegan cafe serving small bites. They have bakery items, and they have a light lunch menu if you need to refuel yourself for the afternoon. I tried the jerk chicken wrap, and it was good, only thing I would've wanted more of was dressing or a sauce on my wrap. My favorite part was the matcha lemonade, I'm obsessed! I highly recommend this place, give it a try!

Had lunch recently at the only restaurant in Schenectady that's all plant based. It really is. Take Two Cafe is so good it makes me do multiple takes. Great stuff no matter what to be honest. You won't even have to ask if anything is vegan because the answer always is yes. Came in and kept the order simple for being the first time in here. It's open for breakfast and lunch. There's plenty for any type of tastes. It's about $12 for one of the burgers. Of course add a few bucks to make it one of the specialties. I got the Spicy BBQ Burger. This was a Beyond patty with barbecue sauce, vegan cheddar, house spices, jalapeños, lettuce, and onions. Hot and messy. That's the kind of stuff I'm into, oh yeah. At breakfast the options include omelettes, plant based. The next time here I have to get one of these. Get lots of great stuff not made of meat. It has plenty, as in everything on the menu obviously. There's things for breakfast and lunch, with it all being okay for vegans and vegetarians.

A casual restaurant serving vegan food for breakfast and lunch in downtown Schenectady. I had the Woodlawn breakfast which was cucumbers, pesto and tomatoes on gluten free toast. No bathrooms available for guests but besides that it is a cheerful space with polite staff members.
