20 Best Coffee Shops in Troy

“Local and welcoming. What more could we ask for?“

“The associates are sweet and wonderful. I love everything about this place so far. The patrons seem to include some of the happiest, loveliest, most interesting people. I have actually had spontaneous conversations here...wow, conversations, and nice ones. That's special. I adore Jacob Alejandro!“

“Wonderful and welcoming cafe with the best breakfast sandwich ever!“

“Great place to grab breakfast in Troy! Today was exceptionally good because they played the entire Shrek soundtrack.“

“Are you sick of Starbucks prices but want the same quality? Does Dunkin’ Donuts alway messup your order? If so, you’re not alone. On a whim, I decided to try a Rush Joe’s. On my way to work and oh my goodness I am blown away at how good the hashbrowns and bacon Gouda sandwich were! The staff was SO nice too! I will definitely be returning!!“

“Delicious coffee, quirky people, intriguing conversation, vibrant art, eclectic music, and stroopwafel. Need I say more?“

“The food is excellent, you can tell it was made with care. They do offer some dishes with meat, the western omelette is outstanding.“

“Finest coffee in the capital district!“

“Can’t say enough about this place! The egg and cheese biscuit and the tahini butter and jam sunflower toast were amazing! We enjoyed the cold brew as well. Cool industrial decor. This is a must stop place for us on our way to upstate and VT. Thanks for the great service!“

“We used Carols to cater a baby shower— not only were the options great, they gave us a good price, all the food was fresh and delicious, and it was exactly the right amount of food for the number of guests. I would definitely use them again and recommend for anyone looking for good local catering options!“

“this is my family's go to spot for coffee and caffinated yummy drinks. all the cold berry lattes are really nice and flavourful, the frappes and lattes are just right on the money and the food is always great, and clearly made by people who love what they do. also, the service is excellent. Margie and her staff are super cool.“

“Love love LOVE B&B. Such a fun unique business idea, executed with passion, love, and the best Mac and cheese in the 518. You can tell the owners care deeply about each and every guest, and their passion shows in everything they do from their main gaming feature, their food, to the events they host. Warm, welcoming, inclusive atmosphere. Much love to all the staff , and Charlotte and Bryan! 🫶💛“

“Great hot decaf latte, nicely designed shop, wonderful outdoor patio in the back I thoroughly enjoyed on this unseasonably warm November day, and kind staff who sincerely want you to enjoy your drink made this a Superior experience for me.

Also, nice job selecting music that's both interesting and unobtrusive. It helps make the patio a special place. Appreciated the very clean restroom, too, which is just one more reflection of the ownership's and staff's well-deserved pride in this place.“

“The Bubble Tea options at Gong Cha are stupendous! I have tried several flavors, throughout the past month, but I especially enjoy their strawberry milk tea -- so flavorful, and little chunks of strawberry. Personally, I find that double tapioca better aligns the rate of boba consumption with the rate of tea consumption, so that they both run out at the same time. While the cost per drink is more than I paid at my previous favorite bubble tea store, the quality here is worth the small increase in price.“

“Stacks was always good to me, I misunderstood the threat made against me for assault by men and I blamed Stacks for having something to do with this. I tried to apologize to the owner but he refuses to accept it. Still it this one was MY fault do to abuses of my disability by people unrelated to Stacks.“

“Benevolence Cafe just did my college graduation party! The food was smack and everyone was so professional and full of grace! Best Mac and cheese ever!“

“It's dunkin donuts, go have a donuts! Sometimes the younger crew lacks their attention to detail, like selling people very dirty gift cards or no cheese (on the receipt/order) means no egg. Overall they are quick and you can't go wrong with a good coffee.

Dietary restrictions: Reiterate any dietary restrictions and check before you leave.“

“This Dunkins has the best employees. They are all very kind and courteous, and always have a smile on their faces.“

“Had my usual 6:00 am stop at the drive thru today. More than the normal line of cars. When I got to the order board I got my normal greeting, but was told it will take a little longer. Because the employee was the only employee on the store. I was ok with that. When I got to the window the employee was in tears and thanked me for being so nice. She said all other customers were being mean. I believe the employee did a great job and should be shown some type of appreciation. She was very quick to get all orders taken prepared and put the window.“

“I will never have a single bad thing to say about Unbeatable- from the teas to the shakes, the protein balls, the conversations in between, and the girls behind the counter! The atmosphere alone when you walk into that store, is an experience itself. Ashley takes pride in her business, and the people she has working for her says that! I don’t get that way as much as I used to, but every now and again I am able to pop in. I stopped on Sunday and had the sweetest tea tender! Joe was kind and patient and took pride in making his teas! He was willing to offer suggestions on what flavors I could pair with others, and was very happy to help from the second I walked in! Ashley is lucky to have him- and we’re lucky to have Unbeatable❤️“
