Great atmosphere... wish there was a space like this back home in my rinky dink town in Northern NY.
Also GREAT COFFEE! Buy some grounds -- legitimately the best coffee I've ever had. So good I didn't even temper it with much cream or sugar.
Phenomenal food as well.
See ya next time!

The cafe itself was really nicely decorated and I felt comfortable. I really liked how it offered small businesses a place to sell their supplies. I also really enjoyed how safe it made me and my queer friends feel. -However, the workers need to work on hygiene. Unfortunately, we didn’t want to sit in because one of the workers needed deodorant and it was too strong. We also didn’t see a lot of handwashing/wiping things down. The food also was NOT great. Lacking flavor, great presentation, but not up to par with the prices. I am willing to give this cafe another shot though, I really enjoyed the idea of it.

I love coming here to hang out or meet up with people. It has a cozy vibe to the place and I always feel welcome. I highly recommend the pork and vegetable gyoza, it’s very good

Friendly staff and unique ambience. My wife and family have so meny dietary restrictions and allergies it's really hard to find a place to eat, but they really helped us and found a way to work around recipes so everyone could have a great meal. Keep the great work.

Great local option. Especially awesome if you cannot have gluten or are vegan.
A Cat and a Dog
As a queer woman in America, with a disability and a service dog... there are many places in this world where I do not feel comfortable, accepted, or even tolerated- much less welcomed. Any time I want to stop into a new place, I get a stomach ache outside, wondering whether people who don't know the ADA, or who don't understand what it's like to be challenged in every doorway for your right to exist, are going to mess up my day. (If you're a person with a service dog, then you know what I mean.)
Today, though, I stopped by Cafe Euphoria and finally went in to eat. I can't tell you how happy I am to have found this place exactly as welcoming, warm, and fabulous as everyone had told me it would be.
I had just had such a nerve racking morning. All I needed was to sit down worth warm comfort food, and not be bothered. A person in my situation can't take for granted that I can get such a thing in a public place. A lot of people wanna give me notes about the dog.
I walked in with my dog, and no one treated me like a pariah or try to tell me I needed to show "papers" to exist in public. Instead, everyone was warm, friendly, and accepting!
My dog and I are fairly new to each other. She is completely trained, both in her public access skills and in the tasks she performs to assist me. But in my experience, the whole first year together is really a time of learning to work together and work out any kinks in training. I discovered one today, when a burst of wind suddenly pushed open the door and began flapping papers hung near the door, at exactly the same moment that two guests suddenly stood up to greet each other right next to our table. My dog was surprised, and for a brief moment her training fell apart, with a sharp, brief, yelp of surprise on her part! This is a thing that can happen, even in a well trained dog - they're like people, and we all have our moments. But I've been in many situations where such a thing might have caused all the nasty, snarky little things being whispered around us suddenly get loud and blatant.
Technically speaking, a business is not required to allow even a svc dog to misbehave in public, so they could have come over to get gate-keepy over that. (I was pretty embarrassed, as I've had a service dog for my entire adult life and I try to be more pro about it than that. I was actually prepared to just get up and leave, in case anyone was bothered.)
But when I looked up, no one was giving me the hairy eyeball! No one was frowning at me, nobody was whispering accusations about my dog not being a "real" service dog. Instead, most people just went on with whatever they were doing, and those who met my eye just smiled warmly, full of acceptance and calm. The server even asked her name, with a bright and sincere smile.
God, if you're not a person who is assisted by a service animal, you've NO IDEA both how rare and how special that kind of respectful acceptance can be. EVERYONE wants to patronizingly able- splain to me why they don't think they need to follow the ADA, why they don't think I've got the right to be there, or why they don't "believe," as though their beliefs should matter here, that my dog is really a service dog. This is such a relentless feature of my life that I am flooded with gratitude any time it doesn't happen that way.
So much love to Cafe Euphoria! What a lovely, welcoming place. The food was DIVINE!
What a welcome change from some of the other places I've been in this region. (Oh the stories I can, and prolly will at some point, tell about businesses not NEARLY this cool!) THANK YOU CAFE EUPHORIA!!!

Cafe euphoria is one of my favorite places in the capital region. I love coming in to hang out, drink tea, and knit on the weekends. The food is always good and the staff is absolutely lovely. Never had a bad experience here.

I literally haven’t stopped thinking about that smoothie for 24 hours.
The food was ridiculously priced. $70+ for 4 people for lunch. One plate per person. Insane. You walk in and it looks like they just placed a kitchen into a normal shop. Place was dirty and there were dishes on tables. Food took more than 30 minutes to get to us which only one item was a grilled item. DO NOT GO HERE

This cafe was a spectacular find!! I came here last night for dinner while traveling with one of my adult sons to visit my other adult son and his girlfriend who live in Troy. When we arrived, there was a poetry reading happening so there were no more seats available inside so we were warmly welcomed to sit at an outdoor table. Since it was such a beautiful night, we were happy to do so. We were greeted and served by the loveliest person behind the counter! We had the most delicious dinner including freshly made hummus as an appetizer, fabulous miso soup and delicious salads and sandwich! Each of us raved about our meals and the atmosphere could not have been more perfect! As a bonus, we were close enough to the open door to hear the poetry readings which was extra special! This will absolutely be a place I look forward to returning to on my future visits!!!

Extremely friendly and good service! A pleasure to eat here. If I would have had more time I would have enjoyed playing the complementary board games.
