    Cute coffee shop with ample indoor and outdoor seating. They have many coffee and food options, free wifi, and a welcoming atmosphere. The people who work here are kind, courteous, and make your order quickly. I would highly recommend this coffee shop.

    Fantastic locally-owned coffee house, serving delicious breakfast, lunch, and coffee in a cozy welcoming space. Highly recommend stopping in for pleasure or for work. Great internet. Don't miss it!!

    the entrance to the cafe

    The coffee tastes pretty good. I ordered their brewed coffee. (The low stars are due to the lack of customer service from the staff) Upon walking into the spot, a blonde haired lady with nose ring looked directly at me, didn't speak, and began vaping behind the line where the coffee, drinks, and food were to be made. Another female barista was making drinks looked at me, but never spoke. Finally, a third employee saw me, spoke and said she would be right with me. She was kind enough to wash her hands before taking my order. I have never been here before and told her this as I looked over the menu. They were out of the juices (e.g. Apple & orange), which is what I wanted to add to my order. I had to look over the menu again to find something else. (I like to support small businesses and wanted to purchase something before leaving). The friendliness of the crew left a lot to be desired. I was never thanked or asked to come back again. When in the area again, I will give my $ to other establishments that show appreciation to their patrons.

    Best coffee shop in Albany hands down!!! Artists at work! Free WiFi and room to work while you enjoy a meal or beverage. Once you come here you won't go to that chain place that starts with a "S."

    Vanilla Iced Latte

    If you want friendly and quick service for coffee in Albany this is your place. I decided to get a vanilla iced latte since I needed something quick and simple. The drink had more of a caramel taste than vanilla but it was overall still great iced latte! I always enjoy trying local coffee shops instead of stopping by Starbucks for drinks and I must say they always are so much better!

    Elements is a nice, relaxing place that now serves beer. The patio is a great place to chill on a cool day and coffee is great when It's cold. They have delicious smoothies and frappucinos for the summer when it is unbearably hot, too! Maybe you are just a little hungry. They have pastries and sandwiches to quell the hunger and a reading corner to enjoy it. Elements is a locally-owned coffee shop that you should give a try.

His attention to detail is phenomenal. He is an active listener. IHOP was suppose to get him on the TEAM. When we first came in Dana I guess the manager was not in the front and so we waited at least 10 minutes before I went to find someone which was Cody to help seat us. Then when he sat us down, she still had not acknowledged us or greeted us. She was on the phone the entire time and just walked around. She never walked to greet or check on any customer within the establishment. Very poor management skills. I would have never knew she was a manager until I asked who she was. Interpersonal skills not there at all. Cami (THE HOSTESS WITH THE MOSTESS) she has the best attitude, very personal with everyone she saw in the store, walked around and spoke to everyone, checked and made sure everyone had what they needed. She is a REAL TEAM PLAYER. The food was ok, not hot, I was missing avocados from my omelet but I didn't say anything. The establishment floors were cleaned but the table we sat at was not wiped down, but Cody wiped them down and made sure we were comfortable. L//

    I made a reservation for Saturday 6pm. Arrived 2 minutes to 6…read more Reservations aren't required, but encouraged. There were a couple of people at the bar, others leaving, and one other seated party. So it wasn't packed on arrival, but once we were seated others began to arrive. The dining room isn't very big, it's quaint. Low lighting, white table cloth, candle lit, date night ambiance. Love it! Music playing: R&B jazz instrumentals; a little on the loud side, but not a deal breaker. There was no live music while we were there, but they do offer that on certain days. There is one unisex restroom, It appeared clean and nicely decorated, as was the rest of the restaurant. This place specializes in Charcuterie, meats, cheeses, wine, etc. But we were simply on the hunt for the best steak in Albany. Our server Hannah, was excellent! I hope she's there when I go back. She, and the rest of the staff were all perfect; a breath of fresh air in this customer service drought of a town. Hannah explained the menu, specials, what they offer on certain days, and everything else we wanted to know. She checked on us often, and we wanted for nothing. My husband and I don't drink, so we got a couple bottles of sparkling water and a soda. (This day they offered Pepsi products) For starters we had the Korean Duck Tacos and Bruschetta Al Pomodoro. The sauce on the tacos was a lot sweeter than I expected, but still delicious. Perfect tender meat, and choice toppings. The Bruschetta, was pretty good. But not anything I'd just HAVE to order again. My husband got a Medium Well Ribeye, collards, and creamed potatoes. He said the steak was a HIT:tender and flavorful. No complaints. He enjoyed the collards, and potatoes, as well. I had Lemon Herb half Chicken, Broccoli, and Creamed potatoes. The chicken, and lemon sauce were AMAZING! The chicken seemed brined, baked low and slow, so good. The broccoli tasted steamed and seasoned nicely. I'm not a fan of the potatoes. While they had great flavor, even without the lemon sauce; it was the texture. They were too loose. I prefer a thicker creamed/mashed potato. This establishment gets five stars, because customer service was exceptional, they go out of their way to give you a fine dining experience, and the food was overall fantastic! If you're in the area and in the mood for Charcuterie, or on the hunt for the best steak in Albany like we were: Come here! I do believe you won't be disappointed:)
