I come here regularly with my friends and family and always have a great time. All of the food is great, and they have interesting weekly specials. Sometimes the wait can be a little long, but they let you know via text-message when the table is ready--so you can wander a little bit to tierra roasters or the pourhouse while you wait and it won't be an issue. Absolutely worth the wait and a favorite part of my weekends!
This should be short and sweet, how much can one regale you with a story of Brunch.
My initial impression was one of woe, as the young tattooed hostess began her greeting with
" it will be about an hour " , then moved on to the pleasantries of, hello and ,would you like a drink while you wait. Much to my surprise and glee it was under 30 minutes and I was staring at a menu. I was also listening to the harmonious tune my stomach was playing while day dreaming of food that was yet to come.
In mere moments a large bearded lad had coffees poured ,and orders taken and life is looking up. My order {The Basic Breakfast } was done to perfection. The over easy eggs were cooked beautifully, the bacon was crisp the bread just lightly toasted. The potatoes were pleasantly seasoned and cooked to perfection. I was a happy camper, right up to the moment I saw the adjacent table receive their order LOL . Without warning the Green Monster reared his ugly head . The young lady had ordered the Farmhouse omelet with its wonderfully wafting aroma of Irish Bacon and Cheddar Cheese, her partner had a visibly striking Egg Frittata. I quickly looked to my lovely bride who was sated with her meal and once again began to relax and realize I was full, and didn't NEED to order a Second breakfast :-) As I watched my Daughter Gabby sipping on her Hot Cider I understood there was no need for Envy, I would just have to find my way back here again . It appears my days of driving Jersey City to Albany for Brunch are not behind me after all. So my recommendation would be to any passer by,stop in grab a chair and have brunch , After all Brunch isn't just for locals
This is a nice cozy place for breakfast. If you're looking for an omlete, pancakes or French toast made from their homemade bread then you picked the right place! They offer vegetarian and vegan options, draft beers and specialty cocktails. They fill up quick, but they don't keep you waiting. Overall a great place!
This place has terrific brunch. They always have new funky and creative specials often combining ingredients that you wouldn't think go together. They are often times pretty busy so going at off times is a better bet.
They also bake their own bread which is terrific as toasty or for sandwiches.
Hands down my favorite breakfast spot in the entire capital district. Everything is just made better than anyplace else, the quality is just on point. They serve real maple syrup, and make their own bread. This place cares, and it shows in the food. Yes there is often a wait to be seated, the place is awesome afterall and what would you expect on a Sunday morning with a group of 8? Go to Denny's if you want immediate, but I'll be here waiting for the best breakfast money can buy.
The food was delicious! They have different weekend specials every weekend which is pretty interesting! You have a lot to choose from. The staff was friendly ! I loved the place !
Worth the hour wait. Phenomenal service. Bread is the best I've had in the area thus far. This is a mandatory Albany spot. Top ten easy.

The food was fantastic, flavorful and interesting in just the right ways. Service was friendly and fast. The atmosphere is pleasant but not overwhelming. The only negative could be that it's small, but don't let that stop you! We had a great brunch
I come here as often as I can. While the menu may not seem extensive it's always a relaxing way to enjoy a meal at the beginning of the day. They have some of the best corn beef hash. They inside opens up so well when it's sunny out too!
Phenomenal breakfast/brunch. Great ambiance, amazing waitstaff, reasonable prices.
Phenomenal! The restaurant is adorable and comfortable. Food was excellent and service was spot on! We went for breakfast and thoroughly enjoyed the experience.
Very energetic place. Vibrant. Service was top rated and food was amazing. You have to try their specials on weekend.
Went here for brunch and had a great time. It was very busy and had a significant wait but the adjoining bar allows you to get drinks while you wait that you can then bring over to the restaurant with you.
Great food, great service. Amazing cocktails.
Food was phenomenal. Service was great. Great NYC Cafe experience right here in Albany.
