I love this coffee shop. I love the architecture, the tiles when you enter the store. The staff is really good. Get your coffee in a mug and stay a while. It is the best of both worlds. It is a modern internet cafe, yet has a public piano and the decor and structure of the building is retro. It's classy. It brings in a better class of people. When I visit Albany or have guests, I always bring them here. I wish I lived down the street so I could come here everyday.
A normal cup of coffee is reasonably priced. $2.50. They have pastries you can try. The acoustics in this cafe are great. You can just hear a little bit of everything and the sound volume is not overwhelming. They pick good music, or if the piano is played, there's enough space so it resonates well and it's not overwhelming.
There are couches, benches, tables with chairs. I really love this coffee shop. the baristas know what they're doing. It draws in young professionals and grad students. I like the vibe.

Staff is kind, coffee is quality, and the vibes are pleasant. I love to get the coffee cake and play the piano while my hot coffee cools. This is my favorite coffee shop to visit.

Super large and nice place to chill and work. Open and airy.
Drip coffee is good.
Service was odd? The girl working just stared us down. No emotion or even a hint of a smile to welcome us in. I seriously felt unwanted and almost left.
Maybe it's an Albany thing. Anyways if you can get past that, great place.

probably the worst cappuccino I've ever had gross. Even had my wife try it to make sure I wasn't crazy...
I think maybe she accidentally re-ran the grounds or something I have no idea.
