In Latham, looking for a healthy breakfast and after searching past the delis, diners and fast food, came across Fruit Loops. Enjoyed my oatmeal with berries etc and a fruit protein smoothie. Service was very pleasant and the place is an oasis in a nondescript strip mall. BTW, no, there are no fruit loops to be had, but that's ok. read more

I've been coming here for years, but today's experience ensured I won't be returning. Emma barely acknowledged me, took an unusually long time to assist me, and then refused service because of an allergy that I have safely managed for years. My explanation was dismissed, despite receiving this same service here many times before without issue. Turning away every guest with an allergy, regardless of how it is managed, is concerning. The interaction felt ignorant and uninformed. It was also difficult to watch Emma be warm and welcoming to other guests while treating me differently, which made the experience feel discriminatory. After years of being a loyal customer, I expected better and I will advise anyone I've recommended to no longer support this establishment. read more

Loop is a smoothie and café spot that focuses on healthier options like smoothie bowls, avocado toast, coffee, and fresh drinks, with a bright and modern space filled with greenery and colorful presentation. We walked into a café where the relaxed atmosphere makes it a nice place to stop for breakfast or a quick break, the kind of space where the environment is just as much part of the experience as the food. The interior has a fresh, airy energy with plenty of natural light and seating that encourages lingering, though finding a spot can take some patience during busier hours. The smoothie bowls were the main highlight. The texture was thick and well blended, and the fruit combinations worked well together without feeling overly heavy. We tried a few options and found the bowls balanced, with the toppings adding texture and flavor without overwhelming the base. The avocado toast was also a solid option, especially with the toppings adding more flavor instead of making it feel too basic, and the bread held up well against the spread. The drinks are another reason to visit, with smoothies and matcha options fitting the overall concept, and the coffee menu gives a good alternative for anyone who wants something less fruit-focused. The café also has some creative drink choices, which makes it feel more like a full café experience rather than just a smoothie shop. The biggest thing to keep in mind is the wait time. The food is made fresh, so orders can take longer than expected during busy periods, and allowing extra time is worth considering if you are visiting during peak hours. Service is friendly and the staff handle the flow efficiently, but the pace of the kitchen can slow down when the café fills up. Seating is also limited, so the experience works best when you are not in a hurry. Loop is a good option if you are looking for a café with healthier food choices and a nice atmosphere. The smoothie bowls and drinks are the main reason to visit, and the bright, welcoming space makes it easy to spend some time there. It is not the fastest stop, but the quality and overall experience make it worth checking out. read more

The restaurant has a great decor. Menu is limited but what they do have is usually really tasty. We have tried the different toasts they have which have all been delicious. Acai bowls are also great. I have tried both iced and hot coffees as well as matcha. They are solid but nothing too stand out in terms of drinks. Staff is always friendly and it's a nice place to meet up, usually adequate seating whenever we have been there. Would definitely recommend. The only reason it did not get five stars is the somewhat limited menu. read more

Fruit Loop - Iced mocha and acai bowl - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Latham, New York

Came here because I was parked nearby to pick up an order. They advertise "great breakfast sandwiches," but I do not agree based on my order today. Ordered the BrEGGY X Sammy Local Buns + 2 Farm Eggys + White Cheddar + Avocado + Pesto+ Pink Salt The "local bun" was a version of a common white blah hamburger roll. Toasting was not an option, or it was not offered. The "Sammy" did not taste good because the eggs had bits of shell, the avocado was very soft, and the pesto made the roll soggy. Did not taste the salt, and pepper would have improved the flavor. Ate only half. Ambiance: 2 stars Seating: Mostly high top tables with metal chairs Few low round wooden tables with childlike stools (photo) A long concrete bench along one wall (photo) --One look and I regretted not ordering takeout. Service: 3 stars Not helpful or friendly read more

I love this place. The decor, the staff, and the matcha. I elected to order it plain--matcha and almond milk. I added a little sweetener myself, like 1/2 a packet, and it was perfect. I honestly don't think I've had a better tasting matcha without any flavor added. And I love love LOVE the cement everything and plants galore. I want to go back right now!!! read more

Definitely one of Albany's nicer coffee spots! Very cozy and clean interior. Friendly staff. Ordered the brown sugar iced latte. Flavor is good but sweet. Would probably order next time with 50% sugar. Excited to visit again to try their acai bowls~ read more

Healthy options just off of Latham Circle. I ordered " the works" smoothie bowl. It is a combination of acai, strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, and banana, topped with fresh strawberries, blueberries, crunchy granola, banana slices, coconut, and peanut butter. It was really good but I'm sorry, it was gone before I remembered to take a photo. The store is cozy and welcoming with plenty of seating. I don't know that everything on the menu is vegan friendly, but this bowl was. The door says, "made with love & plants". The menu includes whole milk, feta, eggs, pesto which often includes diary parmesan cheese, and honey which seems to always be a debated item. Down the street at Bare Blends, all items are vegan friendly including sausage, egg, and cheese breakfast sandwiches, grain bowls, and salads. While Fruit Loop may wish to continue to have these diary and meat items on the menu, I think a plant-based versions like JUST egg or tofu would be a welcome substitute for those wishing to keep their entire order truly plant powered. Other items available include juices, drinks, coffee, teas, oatmeal, breakfast sandwiches, oatmeal, and toasts. The bowl was excellent and we're likely to return for more plant-based items. read more

My Berries smoothie was good. The service was nice and helpful. The ambience is great, the front lady also helped me pick out recess mood sparkling water. Overall great experience, if you want a good smoothie around this area. This can be a good place. Also they have avocado toasts and breakfast sandwiches. I didn't get those but they do. read more

The bowls are fresh and filling! The staff is friendly and the ambiance is super cute.

What a great place. Breakfast sandwich was made fresh and the eggs were cooked perfectly! One of the best lattes I've had in a long time. The place is so clean and well laid out...what a gem! Will definitely be going back here, and will also check out their other location! read more

As someone who LOVES playa bowls and gets them every chance I get if I'm visiting an area with the chain available, this place definitely held its own in comparison. The bowl was very filling and delicious and affordable for the amount they put in it. My strawberry matcha was underwhelming and I'd probably try a different drink next time I visit but I will definitely be back to try other bowls on the menu. If you love playa bowl or never had this type of spot definitely give this place a shot because it's well worth the visit! read more

Another bowl, smoothie, toast place. This one in Latham near Walmart. This one is good!!! The girls that served me were friendly and helpful. I ordered a Butter Me Up smoothie and substituted chocolate hazelnut for peanut butter which was an additional expense. I also got a piece of toast called Peach Please with ricotta, peaches, honey, cinnamon and hemp. Both were really good!!! If I'm going to pay a lot I want it taste good. This fit the bill. read more

Fruitloop is my favorite spot for smoothies and now even egg sandwiches. The environment is so cool on top of the service. You need to try the Breggy X. Also loved the special 32 oz bowl. read more

No problems with parking. The bowls have very fresh ingredients every day. This is my 2nd day in a row and food, & unbelievable friendly service. Great place to grab a light meal! read more

The good: The food is tasty and fresh, and the drinks are great. Good selection on both and the drinks are made perfectly. The bad: A maniac bought the furniture for this place. Half of the furniture is tiny tables with tiny little stools, paired with concrete (concrete!) booths. There's not a single cushion in sight. The other half of the furniture is super high stools without any back support. There's no sound absorption and even the plants can't help. This place does not have a cozy coffee shop vibe. The food and beverages also took quite a while even though the staff was doing their best because there were a ton of takeout orders and they were apparently super understaffed. Overall, I'd describe the experience as "fine" and maybe stick with just takeout drinks. read more

I love the new Breggy sandwich. It is the yummiest. I ordered ahead and it was ready for me. My favorite açaí bowl, the works! Love love. I try to go at least once a month to treat myself. I need to try some other selections from here. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for this type of food. I like to support local small businesses. It's what keeps us going! read more
