Chicken gyro is great at this place.. Gyro and fries you can't go wrong. I try to go there a few times a week.

Good food, good fries, good delivery time. Ordered while I was on the bus home from class and had it within twenty minutes of being home. Only complaint is that the two times that I've ordered from them (on Eat24), they've forgotten the drink. But I just left a complaint with Eat24, and they took care of it right away- the delivery guy came right back to give me my drink. Everyone makes mistakes, but they were quick to fix it! read more

Fettuccine had so much pepper on it I had to throw the entire dish away. Buffalo Chicken Sub had the entire bread so burnt, the sandwich was only half edible. Add onto that mushy chicken, overall a very gross meal. Will never be ordering here again. read more

I've been a patron at Cafe Lark since its opening earlier this year. The customer service is absolutely impeccable. The staff are extremely accommodating and courteous. They take the time to explain menu items and are willing to work with you to personalize your choice. The menu has quite a bit to offer in terms of variety so there's always something new to taste. I would highly recommend Cafe Lark, for brunch, lunch, and dinner. It's a pleasure to have a business like this right in the heart of Albany! read more

Cafe Lark makes a decent pizza slice. I would put them in the above average range in my sampling of pizza shops in Albany. Note that I focus on thin-crust plain cheese slices, in part so I can compare one place to another. I've visited Cafe Lark three times for pizza and was most impressed by their crust, which was crispy but not overcooked. The slices held together well. I found the tomato sauce somewhat richer in tomato flavor than Westgate Pizza Bella. The cheese was fine although not outstanding. I paid $3 a slice with a can of Pepsi, so I'm not sure why Josh K. reported paying $3 per slice in a previous review. The atmosphere is also pretty good compared to some other small pizza shops in Albany. They have a large window overlooking Madison Avenue and light wood paneling. read more

The pizza here is pretty good I usually get a sub there which is one of my favorites here. Some things are kind of dry such as bread which kind of disappoints me. Other food here is good so would go back read more

While I haven't tried everything, I can assure you that this is the best breakfast sandwhich on Lark Street. I live here and have pretty much sampled everywhere that looked clean. Their iced coffee has frozen coffee ice cubes in it and they have soy milk, which is great for me. I'm actually completely shocked by the low reviews. My guess is that a lot of people stumble in here late at night from the bars and are mad that 2 am pizza isn't fresh. Also, I've only had good service here and everyone is friendly. I would suggest a visit during the day when EVERYTHING is fresh (like my made-to-order eggs) and then base an opinion on that. I'm a Long Island transplant and have searched vigorously for bagels that aren't gross chunks of cardboard. The ones here are fresh and taste like the ones down the block in my hometown, which I have yet to find anywhere else. I'll admit I haven't sampled everything, but what I have tried during the day was amazing. All at the same price as plastic eggs across the street at Dunkin. read more

Best slice in Center Square! Glad to have found pizza in Albany that tastes delicious when sober. Great breakfast sandwiches and coffee, why go to DD when this place is right across the street? Friendly staff. And their back patio is great in the summer! read more

3 stars? Bah, this place is fantastic. Greasy affordable pizza by the slice. Get the Garlic Knots.

I'd heard mixed reviews about this place so I wasn't in a rush to try it, despite the fact that it's very convenient for me. I was treated to their pizza this week and it was terrible. The crust was probably the blandest I've ever tasted. A good flavorful crust is one of my favorite parts of a pizza, but this was limp and tasteless. The globs of sauce were also very flavorless. Bland, barely seasoned...at least the sauce wasn't sickenly sweet. Cheese was mild, a bit too rubbery. The shreds of basil were the best part. I didn't even bother with the second slice and those thick, dull sausage slices on it weren't exactly inviting. read more

So this restaurant honestly has great food and used to be on grubhub. When they were I would order take out delivery 2-3 times a week. I love the chicken Caesar salad and the steak wrap. Roast beef subs are good as well. I haven't ordered from them in a while but I just ordered take out from them and honestly had the worst customer service experience ever. I ordered my usual steak wrap with lettuce and mayo on it. When I got home I was disappointed to find a sub, with no lettuce or mayo. When I called to tell them about the mistake, they almost made it seem like that's not what I ordered and almost acted like it was my fault For all the business I give them they could have offered me to come back and return my order and give them the wrong one back, or offer to deliver me the correct one, or do ANYTHING at all. Nope, nothing.... A horrible customer service experience that has ruined this otherwise great place for me and I'm also one to let everyone know about it. They do have great food though and I say you would be happy with whatever you order, just understand that apparently no matter how good of a customer you are , if they mess up, its your fault and they suddenly wont care about you, just that they have your money. read more

It took over an hour to get breakfast pizza. It normally has bacon, ham and cheese on the whole pizza, but I wanted onions, peppers and mushrooms on 1/2. They charged me an additional $6. Outrageous! The only reason I gave 3 stars is because the pizza was good. read more

I attempted to order online, didnt work, then ordered over the phone. An hour and 25 minutes went by so i called. They appologized that the pizza hadnt been made. They said theyd make me one and deliver within 25 minutes. Its been 50 minutes. Oh and its finally here and not even that good. read more

in my opinion the best pie in Albany ,,when ever we visit the city its a must for us to stop here

Pizza and bagels are good, but I would not recommend pastries they offer - turnups are stale and cookies are hard so that you can eat these only if you dip them in a hot tea. The wait in this place is too long. A walk-in will get you food in about 20 minutes, pick-up about 40 minutes and delivery takes about one hour. Had quite a few meals in this place, but I do not think I will be back again until summer when I can enjoy back patio. read more

I chose to order from Cafe Lark after reading some pretty good reviews. Some co-workers and myself placed an order around 12pm. We ordered a chicken panini, Beef Gyro, Broccoli cheddar soup, corn fritters and tiramisu cake. After about an hour wait the delivery driver contacted us to inform us that he couldn't find our building. We gave him very detailed directions (mind you we work in a building right on Western Avenue, across from Stuyvesant Plaza....very well known area). Almost another hour goes by. We call to find out where our food is and we were informed that the delivery guy dropped our food off and left it on the counter at the Bank of America next door. At this point we are now completely famished, annoyed and our lunch hour has expired. I place a call to Cafe Lark. The gentleman on the phone was apologetic and informed me that they have never delivered to us before (not an excuse I want to hear when Western Ave is one of the most centralized streets in Albany and 2 hours has passed since we placed the order!!) BUT he attempts to rectify the situation by refunding our money back and resend a fresh order. 45 Mins later our food arrives (@2:30pm). I personally paid almost $15 for a small soup and a small Gyro. Not what I expected. The soup was all cream, no cheese, no broccoli. The gyro was the size of a Stewart's Hot Dog! Not worth $15!! I will NOT be ordering from them again as the experience was bad enough for me not to warrant a second chance. I appreciate their attempt to make it better but I'm very disappointed. read more

TERRIBLE customer service!! I used a 3rd party website to place an out of town corporate order. The time stamp on the order didn't transpire to the confirmation, so I called to make sure they knew what day the order was supposed to be for. They confirmed - but delivered the order the day before. When this was brought to my attention, I called to let them know of the error and make sure the order would be re-delivered on the correct day (which was the day i was calling). The person who answered the phone was super polite and said not to worry, they would take care of it. Well 20 mins before the order was supposed to be delivered, i get a call from the 3rd party saying that Lark refused to re-issue the order unless i paid for it again... umm, no! So after arguing with the 3rd party, i called the restaurant directly... found out that whomever I confirmed the correct order date with wrote down Thursday instead of Friday... (like that is my problem!!!!!). So I argued with this guy for a while and finally asked to have the owner call me because we were wasting time and getting nowhere. Well the owner called me 5 mins later and proceeded to talk over me, refuse to re-issue the order because he would be losing money, blamed ME because the delivery order was accepted, and claimed that his employee never told me it would be re-issued. I explained to him that my co-worker that was running the training accepted the order because he was expecting lunch to arrive... when the correct restaurant brought that day's order 20 mins later, he realized there was an issue. He said that wasn't his fault and that if i wanted the food I would have to pay for it... mind you, we are now to the time the food was supposed to be delivered, and I had 15 hungry people 5 hours away from me needing food. He was incredibly rude, who BLAMES the customer for an error on the company's side???? Needless to say, I took my business elsewhere - to another local restaurant who rushed the order and included 2 free 2 liters of soda for me because of the jam i was in!! Now THAT is how you run a business! read more
