15 Best Coffee Shops in Troy

“Baristas are friendly and efficient, and the coffee never disappoints.“

“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!“

“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!!!“

“The food was sooo good! excellent service by our waiter. Will return!“

“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! 🫶💛“

“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!“

“I was so excited when I first learned that we have a Joe's here! They're the perfect alternative to both Starbucks and Dunkin'. I love the cozy vibes of everything they do while still being convenient and customizable. Joe's quickly has become my go-to for breakfast and coffee!“

“Great bubble tea (I love the star jelly—peach flavored), but the real winners are the wings from Basak Wings inside. We like the spicy Asian (spicy and sticky-sweet) and the spicy original. Definitely some of the best wings we've had in Troy.“

“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!“

“Workers are all super friendly. Lovely warm inviting space with plenty of room. Food is always yummy and coffee delish! (also I'm sorry for my husband's 1 star review - I'm trying to get him to take it down. I don't know why he's so grumpy)“

“Very cozy atmosphere! Great food and coffee! Would definitely come here again! :)“

“Great place with quick service“

“The coffee is great but Ream is the reason I keep coming back. She’s always smiling, friendly, and makes every visit feel welcoming. Customer service like hers is hard to find these days. Thanks for always making my day a little better“

“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❤️“

“I cannot say enough good about the employees here. A huge shout-out to Ed ,Steph and all. They r all amazing“
