11 Best Coffee Shops near Valatie

“FIRST I woukd like to thank the staff at the Valatie Dunkin Donuts on 9H for providing excellent service after my experience minutes before at the East grennbush Dunkin. I had the worst experience at this place this morning, sad to say because normally no matter what, they give service with a smile. Most times I go there on my way to work, I have to have my coffee adjusted to taste right. I order it the same way: sugar cookie, 1 sugar, Xtra cream, stirred well, and a egg white veggie wake up wrap. Some mornings it's good other times it taste like the sugar cookie flavor isn't added, and they are aware of this and they fix it. Actually a few times the sugar cookie flavor was left out. This morning I said to the male employer after I tasted the coffee and it wasn't correct, "I might have to start going to a different Dunkin". This employee starts taking it personal and visibly has an attitude. Saying things to me, the consumer, like: tell us how you want it then, and you always say it's not right. I have to admit I was taken back by his approach, yes I'm picking in the product I purchase but nevertheless, wouldn't they want customer satisfaction. I went on and stated," I don't know how I want it, I order it the same way here and at any other DD". I go on to say the other Dunkins never have a problem getting it right. So he closes the window, walks away, and I can see everyone looking his way, and mine as he continues to chatter. He returns with the cup of joe with visible coffee spilling all over the sides, and I ask for napkins to wipe it off, he wipes it off for me then hands it over. So we continue having this heated debate, and it ends by him saying if you don't like your coffee pull around and come in. For one moment I became slightly enthused with the idea of going in the store, but with his obvious sour demeanor, and my natural instinct to fight for what's right, I decided to decline his offer, my exact words were: "no, I'm good just pass me my sandwich". He handed it to me with a snap of his wrist and a disgusted look on his face. I drove off, and once I checked my croissant I made the decision to go to a different DD (5$ wasted), but once I realized the croissant I ordered was incorrect to, trust went out the door. It was supposed to be super toasted well with a small amount of butter, guess you guys know it was totally the opposite; drenched with butter and hardly toasted. Is this the image, service, quality, and impression you want consumers to be left with. One bad egg can spoil the bunch. I am just one consumer with an experience, but I do have a voice, and its my constitutional right to express it, and my right to expect good service as an consumer at your business East greenbush DD“

“Had come here with my family through drive thru on Friday 07/19 around 9:00pm and the cashier at the 2nd window was extremely polite, funny and nice! He had even given my younger sister a free fry after hearing she had just gotten out of the hospital! I never caught his name, but I hope he knows we really appreciate his customer service and how we had been treated at the establishment that night!

Kid-friendliness: Cashier was extremely polite to my sister and was interacting with her and talking about her stuffed animal as she was showing him!“

“Only place where you can get authentic NYC type bagels. The atmosphere is congenial as are the owners. Great place!“

“What stands out about the Morningbird cafe is the service, and the quality of the coffee. As baristas, Bennett and Konnie excel in presenting a delicious cup of java.
Bennett and Konnie provide fast,, and friendly service. As a team they work seamlessly if delivering your food and beverage in a most efficient and timely manner.“

“Had a fabulous corn beef and cabbage dinner for St. Patrick's Day!“

“There for is absolutely amazing!“

“I had the lox and bagel for breakfast. It was so fresh and tasty.“

“Affordable food cooked fresh everyday. Great parking lot for construction vehicles, owners treat you like family.. you must try the Cuban sandwich!!!! Also great breakfast sandwich all day… look forward to weekly specials“

“For the sake of full disclosure I’ve worked with the owners for over twenty years in the television industry. They have brought the same dedication and amazing attention to detail that has resulted in their tremendously successful careers, to their wonderful new restaurant. They have thought of EVERY detail from the whimsical videos playing in the rest rooms to the sugar cubes for your espresso... they have missed nothing. The menu is inventive and perfectly executed... Watermelon Gazpacho?! Whoa! The unique presentation of the Calamari appetizer was wonderful. Bouillabaisse?! You don’t find that as the seafood option very often... what a treat. Others in my group enjoyed perfectly cooked steaks and the slightly smoky Mac & Cheese. Of course the cheese plates are spectacular. This is one of those meals you won’t forget! But wait did I mention the speakeasy downstairs? The perfectly appointed room features an amazing menu of craft cocktails AND six draft beers to choose from... including Ommegang Rare Vos... you simply don’t find that on tap anywhere!! Finally a word about the service. It was impeccable, perfectly attentive without being stuffy. Chris and Ellen have created a destination restaurant!“

“Customers losing patients when knowing full well this Dunkin’ is short staffed is beyond ridiculous. You live in the most privileged place in the world and you’re going to harass these hard working folks— who are trying to feed their families— because you’re a full grown adult acting like a child when told to go through the drive-thru??? Hope you feel good writing that letter of complaint, I bet you feel like a real man harassing those coworkers.“
