I happened to stop in on a rainy morning for coffee. They are open early, and I'm pretty sure they…read moreclose by 1pm. Definitely check out their website for business hours before heading over. It's a cute family friendly establishment and they had more tables than I thought. I was pleased to see that they had a wide variety of coffee drinks as well as good bagel and breakfast and lunch options. It was unfortunate that I already had other plans for breakfast, so I only got a large hot mocha coffee to go. Service here was fast and everything seemed to move along smoothly. I wanted to love my hot mocha but I thought it was just okay. The coffee and chocolate flavor didn't have as much depth as what I'd like. Maybe they are known for their other coffee beverages and breakfast and lunch options. I'll have to revisit and grab a bite here next time.

I had a wonderful first experience here! It was super cute inside with authentic local charm. I…read morewalked in and was immediately greeted! When I explained that I drive by all the time but it was my first time in, they welcomed me and thanked me for my business! They were very gracious when I needed a few minutes to review the menu and answered all my questions with enthusiasm. I just couldn't believe how good the service was! I ordered the Lox bagel sandwich, I believe it is called the Fisherman on a toasted onion bagel with a Chai tea latte. They have an impressive selection of cream cheese flavors available (I chose the bacon scallion) and they loaded my sandwich with delicious fresh veggies! Both my sandwich and my latte were absolutely wonderful! I was honestly shocked how on point everything was! No criticism and no critiques, please just keep up the good work and the food quality and I will be back soon! If you are like me and keep on driving past this place, I highly encourage you to stop in and show this local spot some love!

i've been here several times over the years, and they never disappoint. i came here with some…read morefriends on a friday afternoon. the space is very cute, although it is a little drafty by the door (i had to keep my coat on). we were seated immediately. all of the tea here is excellent, and their london fog is top tier. you can't go wrong with any tea. i ordered a cup of the sweet potato chili and the bananas foster crepe. it took about 20 minutes for our food to arrive. the chili tasted just like the trader jooe's harvest chili, which i love. it was very hot and i burned my tongue several times because i wanted to keep eating it. the crepe came out slightly later. the edges were very crisp and it was packed with filling. the scone cream they use seems to be clotted cream, which balances out the sweetness of the caramel quite well. i also tried my friend's fruits of the forest scone, which was very crumbly but had great flavor. i love this place and will certainly return when i can.

I visited the Whistling Kettle in Ballston Spa for brunch with a couple of friends and had a mixed…read moreexperience. We arrived right when they opened at 10 a.m. and were seated immediately, which was great. We initially considered sitting inside, but the smell of eggs was so overwhelming/nauseating that we opted for outdoor seating instead. The patio was charming and cozy. The service was friendly, attentive, and one of the highlights of our visit. Unfortunately, the food did not live up to expectations. We all ordered the brunch tower, which included a "fruit salad" that consisted of squishy grapes, sour Granny Smith apple chunks, and canned mandarin oranges. The fruit tasted low quality and unappetizing, and I only managed a few bites. I also ordered the bananas foster crepe, which was severely overcooked. The crepe was so tough that I needed a knife to cut through it, and the texture was far from what I would expect from a crepe. Overall, while the service was pleasant and seating was prompt, the food quality left a lot to be desired, especially considering the price point.

A five star review does not even begin to describe my experience at The Ribbon Cafe. The food was…read moreabsolutely delicious goodness. I had the "Day After" Turkey Panini with homemade apple stuffing and cranberry mayonnaise. But, the standout was the cup of their award winning chowder to start. It arrived at the table with a crab Rangoon stuff wonton and bacon bits on top. It was amazing!!! The cafe is full of neighborhood love and kindness. The service is amazing: friendly and prompt. And, I couldn't get over the story of how the cafe was inspired. The owners wife died of breast cancer at the age of 42 and this place is his love letter to her memory. If you live within an hours drive time of this place RUN don't walk to try this restaurant. I guarantee you won't be disappointed.

They are hand packed and sold in large bags for $10, which is more than I need or wanted to pay but in the end too many chiles is a nice problem to have because it means a lot of Mexican cooking. There are a variety of other Mexican grocery items like epazote and chocolate, and I was tempted by some cute tortilla baskets behind the counter. I didn't order food but the menu appeals. In addition to expected items like burritos and enchiladas there are tortas (Mexican sub), tlayudas (Mexican pizza) and huaraches (a stretched-out tostada) and I plan to return to give them a try. This appears to be a one-person shop, so call your order in or expect to wait if they are busy.
