The atmosphere and vibe of this cafe is amazing! The entertainment on weekends are nothing that I have experienced anywhere else. Mr. Ventura is always polite, attentive and accommodating. The staff are as well! Really giving you that welcoming hometown coffee shop feeling. Considering I drive 30 minutes out of my way to grab a bite to eat. That should say enough about how delicious the food is. But if I must, the food is just as excellent! The Love Salad is my favorite! They also have gluten free options! This is Just a steller place to experience! read more

Eden Cafe - Love salad Yum! - Cafes Near Me - Loudonville, New York

Nice cafe. The coffee was excellent. Lots of chicory in the Vietnamese coffee that I got. Was as good as what one gets in a Vietnamese restaurant. I also got the chocolate torte. It was gooey, sweet and very chocolaty. I am sure the small piece had 1000 calories They were getting ready for a sold out show so we didn't stay for long. A nice cafe to visit if you are in the area. read more

Great coffee spot and a solid breakfast too. Americano was smooth. Potatoes for breakfast were crispy and seasoned, she had a bacon issue so I got stuck with sausage patty but it was cooked well. The eggs were cooked perfectly just a tad bit of yolk run to dip the bagel in, perfect. The server was very polite, sincere and sweet which made the entire morning great. It's a cool eclectic spot, with great service and good coffee I'll hit it up if I'm ever back in Albany. read more

Amazing venue and music! Yes, it is a cafe and investment company in one. Owner Joe made us breakfast (you can't go wrong with The Egg Man breakfast plate!) while Louis Prima music played in the background. My daughter Eden and I hung out and chatted with Joe while we ate. Joe brought out a bucket of instruments and interesting things for a little one to play with. He even had a small zither! With such great conversation and service, we will definitely be back for another amazing morning :) read more

Highly recommend this cozy place. Excellent coffee beverages with fresh food made to order. We had bagel sandwiches for breakfast. The owner made a recommendation for my coffee that was outstanding. Support small business! read more

This must be the coolest cafe I have been in. The ambiance, choice of music, and service was fantastic. I got the Americano and my wife got a French toast latte, both were very good. read more

Joe made me an Amazing breakfast and the coffee was very good as well,a very interesting place .

I'll echo the previous review and say what a cool little place! My friend was performing here last Friday night (Ryan Leddick, go see him, you won't be disappointed!) and I loved being able to start the night with a great cappuccino before switching over to beer later on. The vibe of the place is eccentric and warm, the drinks are super, and as everyone else has said the bathroom is actually enjoyable as far as public restrooms go. The food on the other hand was just okay, nothing special, but if you want to munch on something it'll do. The owner and the employees are super personable and friendly. I will definitely be back for the live music, the drinks, the atmosphere, and the service! read more

What a cute spot!!!!!! The owner was super super super welcoming and personally served us our breakfast and coffee! I had the egg man croissant with a side of potatoes/hash browns which was actually quite good! Perfect portion size too! Perfect butter croissant with egg and cheese made for the perfect morning! Their coffee is regular nothing fancy, just good ole coffee and cream .. initially when looking up this cafe online the pictures made it look like a spacious venue but it was quite small with most tables seating only 2 individuals .. but live performances are held here so I can imagine how packed this place can get since it is one of the few in town... I'm glad I found this spot though! Definitely coming back on my next trip read more

Eden Cafe - the interior of a restaurant - Cafes Near Me - Loudonville, New York

I stopped here for a quick drink this morning before work and was the only person in the place so I got the barista's undivided attention which was nice. I think he may have been the owner...? He asked hot or cold, the recommended the French toast latte, which was pretty awesome. He even made it 'skinny' for me with sugar free add ins. I even got a second for my friend because it's her birthday. The best thing about this place, though, I have to say, is the bathroom. Just the most awesome decorations throughout the place and a blue light bulb creates such ambiance. I will be back later in the day when they have an event to see if it's just as cool. P.S. they have slices of birthday cake in their display case--how cool is that? read more

Went here a few weeks ago for the Improv night, Joe and the rest of the team were very informative and welcoming. We had a great time overall. Ambiance was great, we didn't eat there but what the other patrons had looks good! read more

I absolutely love this place! Great coffee and great conversation. Open mic on Saturday nights for any musician. Various things happening during the week. read more

What a cool little place! I had friends performing here over the weekend, so I attended the show and enjoyed some snacks and drinks in the process. Great vibe, awesome staff, clean bathroom. Trifecta! Seriously, though....they have open mic nights, lots of live shows and are super supportive of local artists. If I lived closer, I'd be here all the time. Makes me happy to see places like this! Reminds me of the coffeehouse awesomeness of the recent past. :) read more

What a great place! Had the Empanadas, Carmel bread and cheese quesitos and they were delicious! We had a beef, chicken and cheese Empanada. The service was great and very friendly! We highly recommend this place! read more

Eden cafe is one of the kind. I was visiting the area, after reading Yelp review, went there for coffee, instantly fell in love with it. The place is amazing, hommy and very relaxing. Joe and Nick are the best host. Joe can make you feel so comfortable there and he will also make you a fantastic cup of coffee. Now it's my go to place when I am in town. It's like going to friend's house. Many afternoons there are live music in the shop, they also host performances in some evenings. By the way, Joe is also a financial advisor. Imagine having coffee and get your retirement planned! read more

We attempted to do an event at the Eden cafe. It had to be canceled unfortunately. We had a contract for a REFUNDABLE deposit that was done for potential damages for the event. Mr. Ventura was very uncommunicative, responded to only some emails, and is now trying to keep our deposit. He lied about contacting someone within our organization according to the individual in which he referenced. We are a 501c3 registered non profit and will be heading to small claims court should Eden cafe, run by Joe and Nick Ventura, not return our damage deposit. Thankfully we have a signed contract, emails, and messages and should be successful in court. We only wanted our deposit back. I would NEVER recommend Eden cafe for an event or the Ventura's financial planning business. They are not credible read more

I saw a big ass fly in my coffee. Also, the owner Joe is not a funny man, all his jokes were racist, violating, harassing, and plain out disrespectful. Joe is a terrible owner and disgusting human being overall. After everything I have seen from my experience and after my tastebuds were ruined from their obviously frozen food and disgusting coffee,I will never be coming back again. read more

This cafe has spirit, heart, joy, generosity, and is the place in the area I want to be a part of. Cheers to Joe! And check the Morning Show just before 8 almost every day. It never ever fails to cheer me! read more

Best coffee shop in the Capital District! Cool vibe and GREAT coffee! The owner Joe Ventura is always there and entertaining. The coffee and ambiance is just the surface of this special little place. There is always something really cool going on. They provide a full schedule of live music and a weekly Open Mike. If you are an artist you have to go support. This place is so welcoming and supportive of all artists. Can not say enough good about this gem! read more

Watched from a neighboring business the EDEN CAFE have a car towed from the parking lot of which there were still plenty of spaces left . Saw the owner of the car , a very elderly gentleman watch in disbelief. No warning , no asking if he could please move it , just had it towed . Sad to see a business with such disregard for decency in these trying times . Tells me all I need to know about what kind of person runs the EDEN CAFE . I wouldn't recommend read more

Food was very tasty. Limited menu but what we ordered was delicious. It was quiet in the am for breakfast but the home fries were incredible. Sort of like a twice baked potato - home fries with cheese, bacon, peppers, sausage mixed in...something along those lines. Desserts looked good but we didn't try any on this visit. Will be back read more

Truly a gem of the Capital Region! Upon entering, the barista gave me such a warm welcome. He was very personable and also was extremely accommodating. Wonderful spot!! read more

I know at least 3 musicians who have played gigs there and got stiffed for the money they were supposed to get. I will never go there again as long as it is under its current owner. read more

My favorite cafe in the Capital Region. Great food, a wonderful spot to hear great local artists, and not to mention the owner provides great hospitality and makes you feel right at home! Definitely would recommend to all my friends. Eden Cafe has everything from a night out for drinks and snacks and music to a morning cup of coffee with a nice breakfast before work. read more

Pricy charge for not great food or coffee. The atmosphere was comfortable and relaxing. The staff was friendly also.

Came here on a Sunday morning after church for a bite to eat. Really great drink options - many different coffee drinks, teas too. Very reasonably priced. Much better than the chains. For brunch, the family had the Western Omelet, the Kaiser Chicken Salad Sandwich, the Breakfast Sandwich, and the Crepe. All was good, especially the home fries. The chicken salad was the only miss... Too much mayo. Service was great. Too bad that we were the only customers there. Should be busier. Looks like they have a lot of special events throughout the week. We will definitely be back and we will spread the word. read more

When you're in this cafe, you don't feel like you're in loudonville. When you walk in, you immediately feel a vintage, artistic vibe. I tried a different flavored coffee, french toast deathwish coffee for the first time, and I really liked it. There was live music which gave a nice vibe with the decorations of the cafe. The owner was super helpful and friendly. There is also different food options. I definitely recommend this cafe to everyone!! read more

Cozy, friendly and down to earth - this is my kind of place. I stopped in to ask about the music and ended up having a delicious cup of coffee and enjoyed talking to Nic. Returned the following day with my laptop and had a yummy decaf latte and fun conversation with Joe. Moroccan lanterns, dark wood and stained glass give an artsy vibe - perfect for creative minds. I'll be making this my regular coffee hangout. Looking forward to trying dinner and catching some music too. read more

Great and cute little cafe. Has a couple of outdoor tables. Super friendly service and the sandwiches and home fries are amazing! :)

This cafe is a great addition to town. The coffee was amazing. My group had a bulletproof and a Norwegian coffee, both were very enjoyable. The special of the day was a western omelette with hash browns so we decided to get that, a cheese platter and a parfait. This is a great place for a fun weekend brunch or a midday coffee break! read more

This place is a cool addition to the neighborhood. The atmosphere is really nice a has a sort of Morocco meets Woodstock theme. There's some cool Moroccan wall art and hanging lamps and lots of comfy couches and chairs to relax on with your coffee. When we came in a few weekends ago, there was a dude dressed in all white everything playing guitar and singing. I ordered a soy latte for myself and a chai latte for my mom but I ended up getting two chai lattes. If it had been another espresso drink, fine, I would have just downed it, but I really needed some caffeine and I find chai lattes way too sweet for my liking. I approached the lady at the counter noting there must have been a mistake with the order and asked for a soy latte. She was nice and made me another drink with no issue, but everything just ended up taking a really long time, which was kind of annoying and we ended up being late to meet with friends. I'd give this place another try though since the drinks were good, the atmosphere is cool and they also have crepes...oooo.... crepes. read more

Great local cafe and great addition to the neighborhood! We came here for brunch and loved the breakfast sandwiches. The cold brew is also a must try. read more

Iced coffee was brewed well and mixed with the right quantity of ice for a solid flavor. Wifi worked reliably. Definitely a nice "local" feel for those wanting to take a break from chains. read more

What a GREAT Little Cafe in Loudonville, NY! Bring your book, business card and talent! Lots of learning (free workshops) held here too! Home of the best "Bulletproof Coffee" around. Decor is amazing and comfortable. And there's always "a little something" to nosh on. Open 7 days a week. I try to get there several times a week. It's worth it, just for the fun! :) read more

A gem. I enjoyed the live piano and the variety of food and coffees and teas. The atmosphere is comfortable and the customer service was exceptional. I plan to be a regular. read more
