Sidekicks Gourmet Desserts and Espresso

Delicious bagel with pesto cream cheese adjacent to the Amtrak

One of the best small coffee shops I’ve ever been in. Staff is friendly, Coffee Shop is immaculate, Service is wonderful and the food and coffee are great. The owner, Krista, has done an amazing job. I must visit when in Albany.

Addie is awesome love the food

I have been going to this place since I was young, and it was always a great experience good food, service, and environment. It always gave a homey and warm vibe. But ever since the look happened, I'm not a fan of the vibe. It is totally modern now and quite boring. The food was good, about what you would expect from a breakfast place. And the service could be better, after you order you get the food somewhat quick but the tricky part is getting the order placed, you have to wait a lil for the person to come to counter and take it. But overall the food is good but disappointed on how boring the interior and vibe is now.

Very cute small spot, love the shrimp salad

I really like Sidekicks, great coffee, food, and desserts.

Came here while waiting for the train. It's an absolutely adorable cafe with a warm owner, good food, and good prices! Definitely the right choice to check out if you're in the area

If you're looking you're looking for delicious coffee and amazing customer service look no further. As a traveling salesman, I must start my day off right. Every morning I visit these ladies, always greeted with a smile and great conversation. Most importantly, the coffee is the best in town. The only complaint I have is that I'm on the road too much to get something to eat or drink in the afternoon.

Good coffee and food.Staff is always pleasant.

Sidekicks had edge BEST chicken Caesar salad!!!! Krista is always so friendly! Great service!

New favorite!
Everything tasted amazing. Food was fresh, and delicious. I had the Chicken salad sandwich on GF bread and my husband had the turkey pesto wrap. Both so good.

Service and atmosphere was great. We will definitely be coming back.

Cozy friendly place! Delicious BLT on a croissant and beautiful breve. Feels like someone’s living room in the most welcoming way. Totally understood I needed somewhere to sit for a few hours with my train running late. Was able to get a lot done on my laptop with their wifi.

When I ordered Bonnie's Shrimp Crunch Salad I expected a salad (lettuce?)with bay shrimp, noodles, green onion and some shredded carrots. I did not expect a carrot salad. Since I don't like carrots, I picked out the tiny shrimp and the rest went in the compost. I re-read and really, there was no way to know. However, as always, the Lovin Oven cake was delicious and I'm grateful to Sidekicks for bringing their cakes to Albany.

Sidekicks is a great place to get your food and drink! They have a fantastic menu with delicious everything! Their food is yummy and feels like home. The atmosphere is also cozy and can make for a great studying place. There is even a variety of desserts available for your sweet tooth if a shake or coffee didn’t quench it! (Cake, cheesecake, muffins, dessert bars) Their espresso shakes are the bomb! They have specials that come out every month that can be a really fun way to spice things up in your regular routine. But on top of their amazing menu, the staff really cares. They strive to make great drinks and food, and the effort (and success!) is evident. They also have fun things for purchase such as custom made pens, jewelry, stickers, cards, and gift cards to get your friends and family hooked! Give them a try and I promise you won’t regret it ?
