I don't know, I went there and I bought a wine slushy but it was $10 which was ridiculously expensive, and then, they gave me a dirty look. I feel its like a scene from a bad movie. Potential entrapment; AVOID!

My favorite lunch place in Schenectady. The food is outstanding, the service is great, and they even have high-quality coffee, if Tea isn’t your thing.

Highly recommend.

Top noch service and food offered here at the whistling kettle on Jay. Our server Hailey (like the comet) went above and beyond to ensure our party of 6 had the best time and treatment. I saw her treat the surrounding tables with the same enthusiasm and respect. I will absolutely return and spread my experiences because Hailey made me want to keep coming back! The food was incredible, the store, adorable and I don't normally go out of my way to supply a review but I felt so compelled after having such a great experience. Thank you Whistling Kettle staff!

We LOVE this place. Went in yesterday, it has probably been a bit less than a year since we have been. We will be back VERY soon. Our server...Darien. He was friendly, easy going and has a great smile.
The food....as vegetarians, this place has a good amount of options. We opted for tower, which we always select. You get 3 choices ( sandwich, soup or salad, and a dessert scone or crepe.) We ordered the garden sandwich. The ciabbatta bread was amazing, and filled with artichokes, peppers and other amazing goodies, was so good I have talked about for over 24 hours and would go now, though it's dark, cold and yuck, I would go right now . I had the roasted red pepper and smoked Gouda soup, my partner had the vegan chili. Both were fantastic. We each selected the fruits of the forest scone with an amazing cream and jelly combo.
I had a container of the blueberry ginger tea, it is my favorite. My partner had a cold hibiscus tea drink, which he said was good.
Great, bright atmosphere, with the ability to do tea flights, and shop a massive variety of loose leaf teas and the accessories that go with it.

This place has an impressive selection of teas, so we opted for a tea flight to sample a few—every flavor was delightful! We also tried the mimosa flight and ordered the vegetarian sandwich with roasted red pepper soup, which was absolutely delicious. Although the sandwich was a bit messy to eat, it was still tasty. The service was fantastic, and while it’s on the pricier side, we felt it was well worth the splurge.

Food was good, service was quick when I said I was in a rush. Riley was so prompt and accommodating. Cobb salad was full of protein and energy latte was perfect to keep me going for work. Atmosphere made me wish I could stay longer.

My first visit to the whistling Kettle in almost 3 years of being a resident in the neighborhood and I was not disappointed. I ordered the turkey sandwich and a cherry wine slushy I must say it was definitely a delicacy. We also had a passion fruit quencher 10/10 for the fast service and comfortable atmosphere I am definitely returning!.

The Whistling Kettle in Schenectady offers a delightful dining experience. Their extensive menu caters to a variety of tastes, and the quality of ingredients is evident in every dish.

We were particularly impressed by the red pepper gouda. The lobster bisque was a little too salty. The sandwiches were fresh and had good balance, featuring fresh, high-quality proteins and perfectly toasted ciabatta bread. The scone was baked well and was complemented by the cheesecake frosting and jelly.

The tea selection was fresh and not too sweet, and the service was both swift and friendly. The Banana Foster crepe fell short of expectations. The crepe had a very raw flavor to it.

Despite this minor setback, The Whistling Kettle earns a commendable 7.8 out of 10. Its family-friendly atmosphere and efficient service make it a great spot for a casual meal. We highly recommend giving it a try!

Nice place, cool atmosphere but the smallest sandwich ever I had for $14, to add soup $5 and the coffee also $5. Pricy and didn’t meet my expectations.
