My experience here was just as great as at my visits to the Guilderland one, and the fact that the place was almost full to capacity at a time after breakfast but before lunch tells me others feel the same. For this visit, I got what I guess is now my first-time go-to, the turkey, bacon, avocado, kale sandwich. It was well made, it came out fast, and all the ingredients were plentiful and fresh. The coffee station in the back is another big plus. My sister also frequents this site because of their extensive selection of gluten-free items on the menu. Service was at a high level too, the staff were all helpful and friendly. This might become a place where I regularly meet other local friends in the immediate area.

I just moved into the area and was looking for a good bagel place. Yelp led me to Pearl's, and I…read moredrove the 20 min to get there. I was not disappointed. I had the Frankie sandwich on a plain bagel. D-lish!! There were Plenty of bagels to choose from at 1:15 in the afternoon. I also got a 1/2 dozen, 2 plain, 3 pumpernickel, 1 special of the day (salt & pepper) The women in the shop are delightful and great to chat with.

I was well aware that Pearl's sells out of their bagels very fast and it probably explains why I've…read morenever tried them. I'm not likely to be awake and out of the house with a thirty minute drive early enough to score the purchase of any. However, my wife had recently just heard about Pearl's, and we happened to be passing in the neighborhood thirty minutes before their 2 PM closing. Yes, they were still open, and no, they didn't have any bagel's left. In fact, that was the very first thing the clerk announced as we came through the door. "We are sold out of bagels and cannot make any sandwiches." As we looked at the small display case we saw four different pastries on a plate. My wife asked what they were and chose two. One was a strawberry marshmallow muffin and the other was some kind of brownie combination ($11 for the two). Once we returned home we were ready to share them. The muffin was super fresh, soft, and very enjoyable. But we didn't believe that there was a strong strawberry flavor and neither of us detected a marshmallow flavor. It didn't matter! This was a delicious muffin no matter what the flavor was supposed to be. The brownie "thing" might have been what their website menu calls a "Featured Daily Brownie." This looked like they used their challah dough to roll up around brownie mix like you would make a cinnamon roll with cinnamon/sugar instead of the brownie mix. Whatever, it was a total success. It was delicious with two different chewy textures and lots of flavor. Maybe some day my wife or I will have to be in Albany around 9 AM and get to try the bagels.

Dare I say, best bagel I have ever had?!…read more I woke up Saturday morning extra early and I was craving a bagel, I remembered that Broad Street Bagel opened a spot in Slingerlands. A quick 11 minute drive from Colonie, I was there before 8am. It's a very unassuming spot in what seems to be an apartment complex. Only a few people were inside and I was greeted by the most amazing scent of fresh bagels. I ordered an egg everything bagel with scallion cream cheese, not toasted. I am a firm believer that fresh bagels do not need to be toasted, and I made the correct choice. I also ordered an iced coffee, it was better than I expected so that's a plus. I sat in one of the booths and when I had my first bite, It turned into a spiritual experience. It was soft, but dense, chewy, savory, the cream cheese tasted fresh and the cold cream cheese against the soft and chewy bagel was a bite sent from the heavens. I sat there is awe that I just found the best bagel I have ever had, 11 minutes from my home. I have had bagels from all over that can't top this. I savored every bite, it made my day. I can't wait to come back. It was kinda empty when I was there, so make sure you check it out! The best bagels in the area, or anywhere.

I made my way to Starbucks in Guilderland bc I have yet to set up internet at the new place. Figuring i could get some work done and throw stuff on my hard drive bc my icloud is full. I get there and realize I left the hard drive at home. Blunder #1 Mad at myself, I sit in the sun bc the spot I wanted was already taken. 10 mins in and the guy leaves so I go to snag it and end up dumping my entire drink on the floor like a grenade explosion. Blunder #2 .Embarrased, I immediately start franticly scooping it back into the cup. The guy sat next to me immediately takes the cup out of my hands, tells me it's fine, gets me the same drink and mops up the mess all while telling me to sit somewhere dry and he'd take care of it. NEVER has that ever happened to me. He smiled and said something about "hey it could be worse!" I believe he might have been the manager? I must have said "I'm sorry" and thanked him like 50 times. Then was trying to figure out the outlet set up as my computer started to die and the kind woman on the other side of me and the manager both helped me figure it out without making me feel like a buffoon. (Sarah thank you for your kindness and the 10 min chat today.) Then a barista came over and handed me a treat bag. On it, it read "hope your day gets better" and when I tell you I TEARED UP! Inside was a cake pop on the house. I really mean it when I say little gestures like that can change someones entire day around. It sure did for me. Really meant the world and I will be looking to pay that forward. ETA: My mom said this place made the best white chocolate mocha shes ever had.

I placed an order at the counter to eat in, an egg everything bagel with scallion cream cheese, untoasted, and a side of home fries. It was only $7, which felt like a steal once it was placed in front of me. I was really happy they offered an egg everything bagel because they have been a favorite lately. The bagel was really good, a little average, but very enjoyable. I appreciated the thick schemer of cream cheese, and it tasted like they mixed it up in house. The side of home fries was massive! They were nice and soft but still crispy on the edges, I added some salt pepper and hot sauce at the table and they were perfect. They offer a ton of different breakfast and lunch options. I will definitely come back to try something else. This location is very convenient, especially with all of the doctor's offices near by.

The jelly was worse! The donuts were actually crunchy. Once again stale. It appears that they sell stale old donuts at regular price. I could see if I got there at three or 4 PM. But this was 8 AM, first thing in the morning. These donuts should've been extremely fresh. They were obviously made the day before and sold as fresh. Never again!
