What a cute little coffee shop! Located in what appears to have once been a house, Graham's Coffee Parlor is a quirky little coffee shop serving up some delicious espresso beverages. On my recent trip there, I ordered their pumpkin spice latte. I think it's made with actual pumpkin and it was completely dreamy. If you want a little slice of autumn in a cup--this beverage is a must. They have a cute seating area with a communal table as well as a few smaller tables. I sat at the communal table and got some work done while I was there. It's definitely good for meeting a friend or getting some work done. The workers are warm and welcoming and the service is top notch. Get to it!
I love this place! I go during the week during my lunch or when I need a comfortable place to send emails and do work on my computer. Everyone is super friendly. The interior is cozy. The flavors are unique. Support local!! Much better than the local coffee chains.
I always love to stop by local coffee shops when I'm visiting. This one looked ordinary from the outside but felt like a party on the inside. The music selection was awesome. I had the everything bagel with their vegan sun dried tomato cream cheese and their Matcha with lavender which were both amazing. My husband had a danish and butterscotch & caramel latte both amazing too. Great hidden gem. Go and check them out!
I almost passed this place trying to get here because I never noticed it before. I'm so glad I found it because the staff was so friendly upon entering. It's a cute little cafe. It smells sooo good when you walk in, omg. The scent of fresh coffee and cinnamon smacks you in the face. I got an everything bagel which is from Bread Alone and the vegan chipotle cc. Delish.
Super friendly service and cute spot. Not a ton of seating, but we found a spot! My latte was delicious, but I wish it had been a bit hotter. It cooled off very quickly. The cheddar and chive egg bite and cheese danish were so yummy! They also do decaf lattes which is so hard to find so I will definitely be back!
A fun funky coffee shop serving delicious coffee and treats. I'd love to actually sit down and enjoy the space more one of these days but it's always so busy! Not a bad problem to have. Be warned their large iced coffees are LARGE, mine in this picture lasted me two days. I do wish they had a few more syrup choices available. There's always 4-5, sometimes none of them are appealing to me. If they are homemade or if they get them from another small business then I can understand why the selection is limited.
Best Coffee in Schenectady now with 2 locations one on upper state st near Mohawk commons and the new location in the Stockade Inn.
I zip over to Graham's on my lunch break when I work from home. The online order feature is convenient and simple. I love hot hot burn your mouth drip coffee but sometimes the pistachio cold brew is perfect for summer . There is a large parking lot off of Albany Street and a comfortable sitting area inside decorated with modern art. Try local because this place always delivers.
My granddaughter and I had a delightful experience at Grahams on State Street near Mohawk Commons in Schenectady. I like to support local. And small businesses. Ordering was fun because even though there is a large variety of drinks on the paper and wall menus, you can request variations. My Black Currant Decaf Ice Tea was refreshing! E. ordered an Iced Chai Tea. We chuckled that drinks are small, medium and large unlike pretentious Starbucks with its Venti etc. Selecting a sweet treat was a challenge because of the variety of freshly baked goods available. Need to return to try other beverages and baked items. We selected a table for two by the window. The interior was larger and just as charming and comfortable as expected. There is even an inviting couch available if interested. I had a Cheddar Scone and E. had a gluten free Brownie. Delicious! The scone was warmed and served to our table. As E. noted, it was on a colorful stoneware dish and not a paper one. And actual silverware is used here not plastic. We ordered two NY Style Crumb Cakes to go for her parents. They were packaged in a eco friendly cardboard box. Many customers came in for takeout, and several ordered and sat. Three women were behind the counter taking and preparing orders in a friendly, efficient manner. Questions were encouraged. Occasional customers of Starbucks, I wanted my granddaughter to experience a small well run successful business. It was impressive. Parking is adequate. Food and drink: 5 plus stars Service: 5 plus stars Ambiance: 5 stars
Pleasantly surprised about how charming this cafe is. The customer service is on point. The barista raved about the almond drink so I decided to splurge and it was awful. I went back expecting to buy a second drink but the barista just made me a different one, on the house. They have exotic flavors (ginger coffee?!) and the cookie was tasty. More parking would be nice but overall it's a find.
Are you tired of the big chain coffee shops? Well have I got a place for you!!!! Graham's Coffee Parlor is a small but mighty establishment. They are women owned and have some of the best offerings on the market. They have a wide variety of coffees, teas, and other beverages. Plus they make their own baked goods and other foods. The interior is inviting, bright, and clean. The staff were incredibly nice and very helpful. I ordered the Blue Dream while my son ordered an iced chai. As a snack I got a Chex treat and for my son a croissant. They also had a chili with sweet potatoes that seemed just too good not to order. Everything was delicious! The flavors in my Blue Dream were on point and quite refreshing. My chili was exquisite and really hit the spot on a rainy day. My kid loved his croissant and the Chex treat was delectable. I hope early cannot wait to go back!
Great spot! I wish we lived here to visit more. I ordered the Reese's Hot Chocolate and added 2 double shots of espresso - I asked the barista how many shots typically come in a 16oz latte and she mimmiced that. WOW. The most incredible hot chocolate/latte I have ever had! They use the Reese's brand PB too so it tastes extra perfect. Now I need to try and recreate this at home!!!

Graham's is such a gem and it's probably good I don't live closer! The environment is so fun and staff has consistently been very friendly and helpful each time I've been here. The homemade coffee syrups are really good and I also love that they have some on site to purchase to use in your coffee at home! They also always have really unique latte specials that are unlike anywhere else. They have excellent baked goods and I can't help getting one every time! It is small inside and can get busy but it is a very special place and it's easy to see why it is so loved. read more
Stopped in here because I had some extra time before a business meeting. Super cute place. Love the vibes and ambiance in there. The staff was very pleasant and the service was great. I got a vanilla chai and a piece of carrot cake that was moist and delicious. My colleague got the upside down coffee and the crumb cake which he enjoyed. I will def make it a point to stop on when I'm back in the area. read more

Grahams is the only place in the capital district that I will go to for a chai latte! They make it in house and the spices are incredible and it's not too sweet. They also have vegan butter for their bagels which is very rare even though it seems like it should be a tiny thing that makes a huge difference. It's super cute inside and everyone is really kind. read more

We were traveling through and stopped here for coffee. The cappuccino alone rates a 5. Delish! I was also super excited to see a hot cherry pepper and Gruyère scone but disappointed that there were only 2 tiny pepper bits in the whole scone. Those bites were yummy but... more pepper please. There were other menu options that looked pretty interesting/ non standard. read more

Super cute coffee shop with lots of options and kind staff. My iced pistachio latte was delicious. The woman taking my order asked if I was allergic to almond, because they weren't sure if the oat milk had somehow been mislabeled/switched out by the manufacturer. Weird! Thankfully I could drink it either way, and it was yummy. Their roaster is from Charlotte, NC. My scone was pretty good (loved the flavor combo of cherry/red pepper/Gruyère) but my dad said his crumb cake was hard. Definitely worth a visit when in town. read more
Oh my! This is going to be one of my new favorite places. The Goody Bowl I ordered was a hefty size and chock full of Greek yogurt, coconut, chia seeds, strawberries and raw cashews. I couldn't finish it. It was absolutely fabulous. I also ordered the Ginger Bee latte. Next time, I need to either get a larger size or a second one because I drank half of it on the ride home in the car. I can't wait to try the scones I bought. Both savory and sweet! Healthy ingredients, the owner is just a pleasure to chat with and the packaging of my order was exceptional! You are missing out if you don't stop here for a taste . If I could give her ten stars I would! Now, let me go back and finish my latte! Yum!! read more

Stopped in for a Sunday afternoon pick-me-up with my family. Great selection of snacks (ex: Nutella scone, cheesy pepper scone, banana bread) and a wide variety of espresso drinks with homemade syrups. The shop is super cute and the staff was very friendly! read more
WHEN: Sunday @ 3pm Not busy at all. We took our time looking through summer drinks special menu. Barista was friendly and accommodating to our requests. WHAT WE ORDERED S Ice coffee w oat milk S Watermelon lemonade aid Unsure the prices of each drinks were, I didn't see it on the menu. The total came out to be $14.50!!!! Since inflation, the prices of grahams drinks spikes 25%. I don't remember coffee and lemonade to be over $6 before. Wow this was an EXPENSIVE afternoon drinks foshu. I don't think I'll be returning anytime soon. read more

I live under 2 miles from Graham's but it took me a few years to try it, I wish I had sooner. Went in today for the first time and it was a great experience from start to finish. Such a cute little gem! A little on the small size so imagine it could be hard to find seating- we went a little before 8am and most spots were taken (one table open) but we were leaving with it, anyway. Would like to sit next time and enjoy the atmosphere! I got a hot pistachio latte and it was, hands down, the beat pistachio drink I've ever had. It actually tasted like pistachios, very strongly. Which I love! It was not too sweet, you could taste the coffee behind it. The baristas were super kind and welcoming. Will definitely make this a weekly spot and highly recommend. read more
First Cold PISTACHIO LATTE! Believe the hype, life changing! You can tell the thought & quality in every detail of the drinks, food, decor of this cafe. Love how the owner completely changed what this building at an awkward intersection & strip of Central Ave./State St. could do. Unfortunately have to comment with 2 stars for service. Have been there a few times, even bringing an out-of-town barista friend over specifically for the drinks. (pick-up only during early covid) I don't know what it is, but feel a lot of impatience, pretension from the staff. It's a little awkward/ on the spot entering & you're greeted with the ordering counter up front. That's fine- efficient. But it's a lot of options to go through & a bit overwhelming among the amazing selection of pastries, drinks & food. I tried to brush it off as the different employees were tired of having an off day. But recently visited a 3rd time (studying their website & Instagram so I was prepared) & similar attitude / impatience. (I was prepared with my drink order too! She stopped me mid-ordering to ask for size, milk, when I was just about to give it to her. More impatience waiting for me to check out the pastries of the day) I really didn't want to comment about this, but it was the 3rd visit (pre- aka normal, during covid & now). Coffee/Cafes shouldn't be stressful / pretentious. read more
