On a recent trip to the Albany area, I found myself on back-to-back work calls in my hotel room and…read morein need of lunch. In searching for a healthy lunch option that has delivery options on Yelp, I came upon Bowled. I ordered one of their signature açai bowls. It came with an açai base, peanut butter, berries, granola, banana, and chia seeds. The ingredients were all fresh, it tasted delicious and was incredibly satisfying. It filled me up and got me through my workday. Their bowls deliver well so no worries there. My bowl arrived at my door perfect and ready to eat. Not sure what their in house experience is like but as for delivery--get to it!

Service was good, but there was a very strong odor in the restaurant. Some kind of air freshener or…read moresomething. I took my bowl to go and ate it about 10 minutes later. When I started eating it I could taste the air freshener. Determined that it was the croutons. They tasted and smelled just like the odor I smelled in the restaurant. I decided to eat the rest of my bowl and just took out the croutons, but won't be going back. Yuk

What a great addition to the Helderberg neighborhood!…read more This place features a wide array of nutrition based shakes and iced teas with a seemingly endless variety of options and flavors. I had the latte shake and my wife tried one of their teas with an extra energy shot. Both drinks were delicious and a perfect post run/work out treat on Saturday morning. The drinks have a surprising amount of flavor while being low in sugar and calories. The owner and his staff were great at explaining their options and products. The best part of this place is it is dog friendly! Our 80 lb lab enjoyed the large dog bowl of water while we ordered our drinks. They have a couple small sofas which would make a nice place to relax with your drink and book. It is great to have this place within walking distance from our house. It is a nice addition to the neighborhood and we can't wait to go back!

A friend who misses The Bread Butler, maybe even more than I, told me that there was an excellent…read moresourdough bread being baked by Anicca Bakery in Troy and sold at the Honest Weight Co-op. I was at the Co-op the next day. A variety of their breads are located in a shelf display across the aisle from all the other breads. I saw sandwich rolls, French baguettes, plain sourdough, three seeds sourdough, whole wheat sourdough, plain challah, everything topped challah, and a couple of variations that I don't recall. Some of the loaves are also available in half-loaf sizes. I purchased a loaf of 3 Seed Sourdough ($8.69) and a loaf of Everything topped Challah ($7.29). Both are excellent in their own right. The 3 seeds on the sourdough are organic dry roasted pumpkin, organic dry roasted sunflower, and organic golden flax seeds. Anicca makes a point of stating that they make every attempt to obtain all their ingredients within 200 miles of the Troy bakery. The sourdough has a nice chewy crust and a decent sour flavor. The challah has a softer crust than the sourdough, just a bit of sweetness and a slightly lighter colored crumb. The challah is also double bagged for some reason. The loaf is placed in a plastic bag before it is placed in the outer paper bag. Maybe that was to protect the everything topping? If you visit their web page https://aniccabakery.com/ you will learn that you can order online and pickup your order at Alias Coffee Shop in Troy. You may also notice that their web page does not mention all the varieties of bread that I saw at the Co-op and shows a more limited production schedule. Maybe their web page is just not up to date. Another issue I ran into was knowing whether the bread was fresh. Glancing at the information on the label of my two choices, I saw that the sourdough was labeled as "Date Baked on10/29/25" (GREAT! That was today), while the challah was labeled as "Date Baked 10/30/25." WAIT!!! How can that be? 10/30/25 is not until TOMORROW!!! I checked several other packages and found that all the packages of challah were labeled with tomorrow's date. As an aside, does that mean I wouldn't be able to eat the challah until tomorrow? LOL Or better yet, if I eat it today does that mean the carbs don't exist yet? Still, LOL. In any event, a Co-op employee noticed my confusion and insisted on informing management while wondering if this meant the sourdough could have actually been sitting on the shelf since 10/28/25. Today or not, but probably tomorrow also, both breads were excellent. I'm looking forward to trying a whole wheat sourdough.

The store was organized, carried a large variety of items, and amazing bulk section. Every associate I interacted with was also friendly and helpful.

Until then, I'll continue to stop in as I come back to visit the area.
