delicious bagels. nice people.
So grateful Works Cafe opened a location near Crossgates Mall (Guilderland/Albany)! Only a couple minutes from I-87, worth the stop! Great smoothies, bowls, bagels, sandwiches, and bring your coffee mug to fill for a discount. Best loyalty program too! Earn points! My favorite smoothies… Carrot Mango with added protein and the Kale Crush with added protein. Great for after a workout or when on the run! The folks working there are the BEST TOO!
I love the convenience of this place. I usually get something to go and it’s always ready within 15 minutes, usually less.

Based on the reviews, The Works Cafe is a highly recommended spot known for delicious food, friendly staff, and a cozy atmosphere. The sourdough loaf is incredible and well priced, while the bagels are fresh and NYC level good. Menu highlights include pasties, a b.l.t. on an everything bagel with mozz and avo, a quinoa bowl, bagels and lox, and a huge chicken sandwich. Smoothies are always great, with favorites like The Honey Bear, Carrot Mango with added protein, and the Kale Crush with added protein. Fresh cream cheese options and cookies are also available, described as fresh, thin, big in size but light, and melt-in-your-mouth. The coffee is great, and customers can bring a coffee mug to fill for a discount. Service can be a little slow, so ordering ahead is suggested if possible. The staff is described as the nicest, super friendly, kind, and welcoming, even handling a teenager’s mistake on a latte order without extra charge. The space is clean with healthy options, and there are great options for indoor dining and outdoor seating to overlook a stream. With a best loyalty program and support for local farmers, this cafe is worth the stop.
