30 Best Cafes near Scotia

“Took my family and the staff were amazingly sweet to our adult son with autism. Incredibly patient and able to accommodate his concerns about certain textures.

10/10 will be coming back.

Fun specials, and overall a relaxing place to be.“

“Just came from our first time here, service was friendly, fast and efficient. Food was served quickly and hot. Food taste was good. Prices are reasonable. Nothing bad to say about this place, we will be eating here again.“

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

“Highly recommend this establishment - which has a cool atmosphere, delicious pastries, smoothies, and bowls, not to mention friendly customer service. I am not a coffee drinker but if I am anywhere near Graham's and have the opportunity to make a stop, it is a must for me. Extra fun when the owner is up front to say hello. Not to mention her social media content has always been awesome! If you haven't made it a point to go, you need to!“

“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“

“11-14-2025 My mom had a hair appt close by today so I picked her up to have lunch at The Bellvue Cafe. She had chicken soup and a Rueben with fries. She raved about all of it. Some of the best chicken soup around imo. The fries were nice and crispy on the outside and soft and creamy on the inside. I loved seeing her enjoying all of her meal! I had chicken soup and the brisket pot roast. The carrots, onions, celery and taters were all cooked perfectly and not mush. The brisket was so tender I just used my fork. Mom took half her soup and Rueben home as she couldn’t finish it all. She did enjoy the rice pudding with whipped cream for dessert too. What an enjoyable day! 10 outta 10!!!!“

“Absolutely delicious, every single bite. The staff were extremely friendly and always ready to serve you, whether it be a coffee refill or asking for a side of mayo. The omeletts are perfectly made with every ingredient you order in each and every bite. The homemade corned beef hash is some of the best corned beef hash I've ever tasted. The physical restaurant itself is extremely clean and very well maintained. I have been to just about every Diner and Cafe in Schenectady and Albany County, as well as other states. This Cafe is definitely one of the best. Do not hesitate to give this Cafe a try!“

“My husband and I went there this evening for Valentines dinner. We have been there for her amazing breakfasts and have ordered her take out pot pies and WOW, we were not disappointed with our amazing dinner. I had the Eggplant and my husband had the Filet. Warm and cozy atmosphere- just perfect!!“

“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.“

“We had our first couples boxing class last night and it was outstanding. Corey is open to unique class ideas is very welcoming to everyone. Our trainer was also outstanding! He worked out the entire time with my husband and I and kept the enthusiasm alive the whole time! Such an awesome experience from some other gyms and group fitness that yell at people or don’t watch for correct form and ensure safety. We will be back!!!“

“Love Love Love Lorenzo's! (518 Foodies card holders get 10% off). They have the BEST breakfast! The home fries are to die for! The chorizo egg and cheese is also delicious! Really, you can't go wrong.“

“This is a really cool coffee shop, and their prices are great too!! I absolutely love their coffee and bagels, and I really love their soup. Their lattes are so amazing. And they get almond milk to foam a lot too. Most places can't do that. I try their special and seasonal lattes a lot, but lately I've been going a lot, so I got tired of the same amazing latte, so I tried the caramel latte, and Oh, THAT WAS GOOD. I've had a caramel latte before, but that one was SO good. I definitely recommend it. They do have a ton of options, I like to get the cinnamon raisin bagel with PB and J. It is really good. They have super good cream cheese here too. I definitely recommend that too. And the bagel sandwiches? 😋😋. I recommend getting the Mediterranean sandwich. I really love this place and hope you do too!!!“

“I highly recommend Pretty Paws Cat Lounge! I brought my cat Pickles here and he absolutely loved it. 🐱❤ You can tell they really care about the animals, and it was such a great experience. We’ll definitely be back! 🐾“

“We had a wonderful Mother’s Day brunch at perrecas!“

“All the staff were super friendly. Breakfast Focaccia NY style sandwich was AMAZING! Prices were great. Will definitely be back and reccomend to everyone in the area.“

“mike and I love coming here for Sunday brunch. The food is always delicious. it is a family owned restaurant and they are all so nice.“

“I order almost all my teas from Whistling Kettle. Since I discovered them, I have turned into an addict for their Autumn Haze and Lemon Almond Panna Cotta teas. I have always been pretty selective about the teas I drink and this company goes above and beyond with their blends and choices. Their packaging and shipping is also first class! Please make one more batch of Autumn Haze this season so I can buy you out till next year's.“

“I absolutely love this little hidden gem! Apostrophe can be a little hard to find, as it's inside the Proctor's Theater building, but it's a must visit. The food and coffee are all local, and there's plenty of space to sit. It's also great on winter Sunday's when the farmers market is in there or on days when there's free live musical entertainment.“

“We had a delicious lunch at The Moon and River Cafe today. Reubens , Thai fries, beet salad and blueberry pie all vegan and kindly prepared and served by Richard as always. We have been there several times and will definitely be back !“

“This salad was absolutely delicious. I have never had grilled peaches but they were so sweet and juicy, complimenting the Grilled Chicken and blue cheese crumbles along with the field greens and balsamic dressing. A true summertime dish. Our server Brittany was so cheerful and attentive. A great dining experience today for brunch.“

“I ordered the brown sugar boba with original tapioca pearls. It was some of the best boba tea I have ever had! The taste was sweet and enjoyable. The workers were very nice too. I got my boba tea in only about a minute after ordering so very quick service.“

“June 23rd 2026: ordered my favorite sandwich again which is the Grilled Chicken & Avo BLT. It was even better the SECOND time! Guys I've had subway for years and this sandwich was the freshest and coldest most delicious Sandwich I ever had from any restaurant. I'm willing to pay a little more to eat here. The avocado tasted very fresh too, and I will be a returning customer thank you staff for your dedication and love you put into making your customers happy. Keep up the good work! I'll“
