    If I could give Mike ten stars I would. He busted his butt through a rush by himself, nailing everyone's order and got us all taken care of quickly. One you should work here, two, you should come here and show Mike and Cool Beans some love.

    This counter's the only barrier between you and deliciousness

    Swung through after hitting up ADK Balloon Fest (which I *highly* recommend attending, btw). I envisioned it being an easy breezy stop for a quick iced coffee before I got back to my busy Sunday, but apparently so did everyone else in town because the line was out. the. door. when I pulled up. But desperately needing a caffeine fix, wanting to support local business, and having some (*tons) of hot air balloon photos to sift through, I figured I'd wait it out (arrived "early," around 9am!) Having worked in food service and seen the insides of kitchens of all sizes, I realize this kitchen isn't the easiest set up to crank out orders of breakfast sammies, toasted bagels, BLTs, or smoothies -- it's a pretty small workspace at the far end of the order counter. Additionally, this is an exposed/open kitchen, so the breakfast rush crew can't even roll their eyes or complain about customers or the high frequency of order tickets flying in without being seen or heard, so it's insanely impressive to watch them work so well together in sync. Even if they're screaming on the inside, they move quickly and efficiently, with a smile on their face, working as a team and keeping a positive vibe making conversation with regulars while keeping the line moving. I actually complimented a counter girl on everyone's teamwork and cheerful disposition despite the fast-paced shift, and she smiled and enthusiastically replied saying how much she loved working there. Cool! Always a plus when the staff is pumped to work there -- good juju. I waited 14 minutes from start to finish for a large and in charge iced coffee (sugar cookie FTW), which is pretty significant, and I found myself wishing they had an express line for "just coffee," but since I was able to get some work done on my phone it wasn't a total loss; plus if I was waiting in line with a friend the time would have passed quickly, so it wasn't too bad. I kept busy reading the descriptions of the coffee brews found in the carafes (fun!), and even though I was in the mood for iced coffee, I definitely purchased a small apple cider donut coffee to try as well. (spoiler alert: it was bomb! ‼) not too donutty sweet, and it absolutely had a hint of cider flavor to it. This time I asked for coconut milk, which they had in the fridge behind the counter, so my intestines and I appreciated the assistance to reduce my dairy consumption. I'm sure ADK Balloon Fest contributed to the influx of Sunday morning customers, but I think it would be awesome if they could implement some sort of express line so coffee buyers don't have to wait behind the peeps placing food orders, etc. I remember in grade school the milk buyers got in the cafeteria line *before* the kids who were buying a full lunch, so maybe that's a model to adopt ;) let's keep it moving, people! Then again, patience is a virtue, so I guess I can incorporate a little of that into a Sunday morning visit to Cool Beans :) 4-stars today

    Queen BLT absolutely delish!!!

    Such a great atmosphere and the food and coffee is excellent at a super price a MUST in Queensbury, NY. Great fast service on top of all that yum!

    Badass little breakfast place in Queensbury! Having driven past Cool Beans a few times during my stay in the area, when James F and I were in need of a quick bite and some caffeine, we knew we had to stop here. Huge menu! Tons of delicious coffee choices, awesome bagel selection, and plenty of other breakfast bites. James decided on a "everything on it, please!" bagel and I went with their Mexican burrito since I was craving something spicy. Seriously, you're away from Denver for a few days and the spice cravings kick in. The bagel and the burrito hit the spot! As did the latte and chai tea. Nicely done! Cool Beans is a neat little place to stop by if you're in the area. I always love supporting cool, local businesses when possible. Pro tip: Cash only! ATM in store if needed.

    avoid. Their exhaust fan doesn't work, so be prepared to smell like a burnt everything bagel while you try to drink your bad coffee.

    Waited 42 minutes for two bacon, egg and cheese bagels. It was painful to watch how inefficiently they worked... so not worth the wait

    Food is tasteless, 2021 and they only accept cash. Not to mention very understaffed ALL the time

    It's been a while since I've eaten here and I forgot how much I liked it…read more The old Victorian style historic house turned restaurant is really lovely. The wraparound porch is just so nice to sit outside and eat in warm weather. They really utilize the space well, as it's covered in colder months so you can still sit there. I was here for brunch on Mother's Day with reservations and was seated promptly. Due to the holiday, parking was not possible in their lot as it can only take a few cars. No matter, as we were able to park nearby. Their brunch menu had plenty to choose from. You were given these small carrot cake muffins to start, then a choice of starter and main along with dessert, wow! You also had a few cocktails to choose from and you could also swap out for a mocktail too. It was extremely busy but the staff was attentive and handled our orders with ease. Their attention to detail was so nice. For starters we had a strawberry salad, French onion soup, tuna tartare, coconut shrimp. For mains, the burger, salmon Benedict, chicken and waffles and a Polynesian style breakfast bowl with coconut shrimp, sticky rice, pineapple and greens. Lastly on a full tummy we had coffee with chocolate mousse, strawberry shortcake and peanut butter cheesecake. Spending the morning here for brunch was the perfect way to kick off the day. Brunch was enjoyed by all. On a side note, I've also had dinner here and you can expect the same wonderful experience. I'll be back again!

They start you off with some warm fresh bread and butter that you have to be careful to not fill up on. We shared the truffle fries (if you like thousand island dressing you might like the sauce but it does have a kick to it), sushi roll, and a few large beet salads for the table. Salads were good and plentiful and I liked the dressing. I appreciate that Bistro Le Roux offers smaller and larger portions options for each of their mains. As this is not the norm at most American restaurants, it was a a little unclear to us whether that meant they are sharing plates or not but because most other restaurants give you too much food, ordering a small seems like a reasonable strategy unless you are either A) very hungry or B) sharing with a few members of your party. It's not cheap but this could be a good way to try different dishes. I tried the lobster risotto which was super creamy and came with a reasonable (but not overly generous ) amount of fresh lobster. The corn risotto was very good although it seemed like they had this same thing for a number of their menu items. My wife had the avocado crab salad dish, which was ok (my daughter commented that it was needlessly "fancy"), but the crab on its own would have been better. She thought her risotto was a little undercooked. We also got the corn chowder which was ok but lacked any real flavor and didn't feel worth the stomach space. The tomato bisque, a long-time staple of their menu, was much better and we really enjoyed it. For dessert we had the lava cake which was very rich and good. My son had a plain vanilla scoop, which came with his kid's meal (steak and fries).
