Best bakery in the NY capital region. During my time in Albany, I've been to a lot of bakeries. I…read morecame to Sweet Elevation 3 times in just 2 weeks. I don't remember when I had a more perfect chocolate cupcake, each time I've come here, the quality and service are perfect! Consistency and good service is what I look for. The attention to detail, hospitality, and kindness from Christian, the young man who works there, is exceptional. As I wrote before, the bakery shares the parking lot with the Yemeni coffee shop Shibam next door. The Yemeni coffee is just perfect with Sweet Elevation's treats, so don't miss this spot if you visit next door. I hope they can work out on doing something together. I've gotten hooked on Sweet Elevation's chocolate cupcakes. I'm having one as I write this review (these really are the freshest and best chocolate cupcakes) with some Yemeni coffee from next door - who knew how perfectly they go together. I'm very picky when it comes to cupcakes, and these are so soft, fresh, moist, fluffy, with perfect frosting with the sprinkles! Each time! It's really cute inside the cafe. What I'm most picky about is service, and I'm impressed with Christian, he's a respectful gentleman, knowledgeable, and really helpful with recommendations. Responsible, helpful, paying attention, intelligent. People my age often complain about the younger generation, they should meet Christian, our world's future is bright with young people like this. Good luck whatever you do Christian, and may you continue to shine as you do now always! Amen!

I attended a Baptism Reception on Saturday. My niece ordered…read morecookies in the shape of a cross for the occasion. The beautifully decorated cookies were delicious unlike others we have had that look great BUT taste awful. Hard and flavorless, after one bite, they are tossed aside. These freshly made shortbread cookies "melted" in your mouth. The butter flavor was subtle yet easy to pick out. The texture was firm yet crumbly, and they were moist! Many people wanted to know where they were purchased. I attended a Yelp Elite Event at Sweet Elevation Bakery in Latham recently, so I knew it was an outstanding bakery. I knew that they employ FT decorators/bakers for the cakes and cookies. I also learned that their Custom Cookies are a big seller. Businesses and families order them for special occasions.

Oh little cafe spot inside the Pavilion Grand Hotel, what an ever changing minx you are…read more I was so glad that for a spell, this was the home to my favorite Saratoga based French bakery. Perhaps you are familiar with it. TC Paris has a production facility around the corner, and Chef Paul sells his precious hand made macarons to Whole Foods throughout the northeast. Recently, I returned to this spot to have found that the space had changed out. Now instead of Paul's handmade croissants filled with all types of delicious things, there's a sandwich shop that's slinging Boars Head meats. Le sigh. At least the TC Paris macarons are still present. That meant I was able to treat myself and my daughter to two decadent cookies made from truly fine ingredients. The salted caramel steals my heart every time. Five stars for the macarons. But beyond those, the cafe as a whole left me feeling entirely uninspired. I'm sure hotel guests will find it convenient if they find themselves in a pinch. But I can't see myself getting anything there beyond the occasional macaron.
