Acai bowls are also great. I have tried both iced and hot coffees as well as matcha. They are solid but nothing too stand out in terms of drinks. Staff is always friendly and it's a nice place to meet up, usually adequate seating whenever we have been there. Would definitely recommend. The only reason it did not get five stars is the somewhat limited menu.

Came here because I was parked nearby to pick up an order…read more They advertise "great breakfast sandwiches," but I do not agree based on my order today. Ordered the BrEGGY X Sammy Local Buns + 2 Farm Eggys + White Cheddar + Avocado + Pesto+ Pink Salt The "local bun" was a version of a common white blah hamburger roll. Toasting was not an option, or it was not offered. The "Sammy" did not taste good because the eggs had bits of shell, the avocado was very soft, and the pesto made the roll soggy. Did not taste the salt, and pepper would have improved the flavor. Ate only half. Ambiance: 2 stars Seating: Mostly high top tables with metal chairs Few low round wooden tables with childlike stools (photo) A long concrete bench along one wall (photo) --One look and I regretted not ordering takeout. Service: 3 stars Not helpful or friendly

The juice was straight up from a bottle powder, it looked like bright Sunny D from Walmart. Total rip off of my $19. I was the only customer there, the front guy took my order, then started doing other things, totally ignored me for like 10 minutes. New customers came in and started putting in orders and he started making their orders and delivering them. They have a n automated system that shows them, what # order is going on. I was #19, my order took them 20 minutes to make (juice part) $6.99 for powder juice, that the menu claims has fresh orange, beets and cayanne. I am going to show you the pictures. The egg in my sandwich was not cooked. Liquid yucky white stuff in my Sandwich, I didn't ask for tomato or avocado, which they put in. See I had $9.99 orange and ginger juice from the Honest Weight Food Coop couple days ago. Bitter, sweet and Freshest of all. You know my standard is already high for citrusy juice. I can't take cheap powdery from the bottle juice, came home, threw it out. The worst part is that I asked the owner/front person if they used real fresh stuff, and they said Yes they do. So clearly they lied. I will never be back. People were liking açaí bowl, which they are selling for like $9 for small thing with few choppings of fruits. Looked pretty small for $9.

Excellent food, not so pleasant atmosphere…read more We stopped at Liza's of Troy for breakfast in Feb 2025 based on good reviews and appealing food pics. The order was taken at the register and then brought to our table. The food tasted great and was served quickly! All the dishes had a beautiful presentation! Coffee was a French press and was really good! The place had no cream or sugar for the coffee. Also there were no salt and pepper shakers on any table. When I asked for some salt they gave me a plastic sauce cap with some salt on the bottom to take it with my fingers. It was quite weird. For some reason "Butternut Squash Bowl" had only one egg while all other breakfast items had two. Not sure why this one was special. The real problem however was the smell. The very first impression we got upon entering was a strong smell of fried bacon and other foods. It was like standing next to a stove because the space is fully open, with no divider between the sitting area and the kitchen. In such a setup you need a strong hood exhaust but that in turn would make a lot of noise. Anyway, instead of taking our time enjoying the breakfast and great coffee we had to finish it asap and escape to prevent our jackets absorbing the smell :( We are giving Liza's of Troy 4 stars is it got 5+ on the food and coffee and 3 on the interior and atmosphere. Food ordered Butternut Squash Bowl - excellent and nicely presented. Had to order additional egg though. Breakfast Bowl - excellent and nicely presented. Big Betty Breakfast Sandwich - delicious.

Quick, inexpensive, tasty health food…read more There is plenty of parking in a plaza that has another half dozen or so eating establishments. There is a traffic light on Hoosick Street, so getting into and out of the parking lot is easy. There is no table service. My observation is that the vast majority of their business is take out. You order at the counter and after they're done making your order they call your name out and you pick it up at the counter. Just like Burger King or McDonald's. Your order is displayed on a touchscreen that asks how do you want to pay, what kind of receipt you want, and if you want to leave a tip. I usually leave a small tip, although they don't do anything other than their job. They just take your order and make your food and that's it. I can't see anything that differentiates good service from bad service. Eating in is functional but not comfortable. Similar to a fast food restaurant The bathrooms are relatively clean, the tables are usually, but not always, clean. The dining tables have hard wooden benches. At least they have cushions on some of the benches that make sitting a little more comfortable. All in all, a typical fast food dining experience. The food is healthy, but much more flavorful than typical health food. I like the sriracha sauce, which spices up everything. I've narrowed my selections down to one or two items that I get on a regular basis. They are consistent about how they make each food item. Every order is identical, neat, and tidy. There are a number of signature items, but everything can be customized. Some additional items come at no cost, for others there is a small up charge. This is essentially a fast food restaurant serving healthy food. The dining in experience could be improved, and the service could be more consistent, but the food itself is fresh and tasty.

There is a seating area in their space and more seating in the food hall. I placed an online order for takeout recently. I ordered the Feta & Cheddar Omelet ($6.50 plus tax) and and a Berry Delicious Oatmeal ($9.50 plus tax). However, when I walked into the eatery, I was informed they didn;t have oatmeal and asked me to make a substitute. I requested a Pastrami Sandwich as a substitute and they upcharged my online order $2.16 with tax. Anyways, my order was ready 7 minutes after making the substitution. I enjoyed my food out in the hall. The omelet was folded with onions, peppers, tomatoes, topped with feta & cheddar cheeses. I enjoyed this tasty omelet. The thick Pastrami Sandwich had thin slices of pastrami, kraut, and a spiced mustard spread on a toasted kaiser roll. My food overall was pretty good. Hopefully next time they will have oatmeal to go with one of their breakfast sandwiches.

The cozy atmosphere of the restaurant is great for a romantic evening or a quiet family dinner. We love that they have clearly marked on the menu all the vegan options and what is vegetarian to make ordering easy. Ordering online is simple but it's just as easy to call and place an order of you have any questions or concerns. This time I ordered a large pizza with vegan cheese. Half the pizza had artichokes and kalamata olives, the other half was topped with fresh sliced mushrooms and vegan sausage. No canned mushrooms here! I think its great that they know their ingredients. The Vegan cheese is always browned and properly melted. You don't have to tell them extra crispy or well done, they aren't going to give you a pizza that does look and taste delicious! Anytime we are in the Latham area and looking for a place crowd pleaser where we can order for us and the rest of the family that doesn't eat vegan food, Midpoint is at the top of the list! There really is something for everyone!
