This is a fairly new restaurant that I found through a post by yelp albany on Instagram…read more I wanted to try the noodle pho, and they were out of the chicken broth and I missed it. This gives me a reason to go back there again now. Tried the Banh mi, tiramisu and spring rolls. The food was good. They served them fresh. Service was fast and the owners were friendly. I would recommend adding more signage and a few more items to the menu. It's a self-service restaurant thats a combination of fast-food or takeout place. If the restaurant owners are looking to make it a full service place, I would recommend working on the ambiance a bit by adding more seating. I would recommend adding more signage and a few more items to the menu. If you are lucky, you may end up with a free tea.

The service and food were outstanding!! Best bahn mi I've had in the area. Super excited to go back.read more

I often find myself wishing Buffalo had a good burrito place. Burrito Burrito is a dream come true…read moreand it ticks all the boxes. All vegan? Check Housemade meat and cheese? Check Yummy sides? Check Unique items? Check Burritos the size of your forearm? Check Fresh ingredients? Check Deep fried burritos? Check Foil wrapped magic you can eat in the car? Check The classic seitan burrito recreates the experience of a white kid taco night in the 90s - ground seitan beef, lettuce, fritos, queso. I'd had those taco nights on my mind lately and this hit the spot. The BBQ jackfruit burrito was also great - I had a few bites of my spouse's. Non-vegan spouse was 100% satisfied with burrito. Fried pickles were great and rumor has it this special will be around awhile. They're as thin as french fries and they must use some sort of sorcery to get them evenly battered and coated. These were perfect for sharing with someone who normally hate fried pickles because they're too thick and who hates mayonnaise. Burrito Burrito must have designed these just for us because these come with a red pepper crema instead of an aioli. Diagnosis: delicious.

The ambiance was amazing. The food was overly salted…read more We ordered 2 burritos and the portions for the burritos was huge. The flavors were certainly very varied as there's many fillings for the burrito but I really struggled with how salty it was. The guac is watery whereas I prefer a traditional guac with lots of avocado.

Healthy Lunch Find in Downtown Albany! During my lunch…read morestroll through downtown Albany looking for something healthy, a coworker and I stumbled across Blend and Brew on State Street. To my surprise, both the Energizer and Lunch smoothies were delicious! They had the perfect creamy consistency--not too thick and not watery--and were packed with flavor. I ordered the Energizer in a medium and could really taste the mango, apple, and lime. It was so good that I immediately wished I had ordered a large! They also offer pre-made sandwiches, fruit bowls, and wraps, making it a great grab-and-go lunch option. Since it's a little off the main path, the line was short and service was quick, even during the busy lunch rush. If you're looking for a fresh, healthy lunch option downtown, this spot is definitely worth checking out! Yelp Rating: 4.5/5 Would I return? Absolutely--for a large Energizer next time!

I had a really good smoothie here. Lots of healthy items to choose from, salads, sandwiches and…read moresmoothies mostly. Lots of fresh pressed juice too. Small, only counter service. Clean and bright location downtown, service was quick and helpful.

A welcoming little cafe located in the Glenmont Plaza. This place is a treat. Or at least it seems…read morelike it is. I should be eating like this all the time. Everything I have gotten is delicious. Fresh fruit, granola,, you can add all kinds of stuff. You can build your own, you can get their craft specials. I am definitely eyeballing that pineapple coconut concoction available for the summer. I'm still learning about all the combinations but this place is so good. I could eat here every day. The staff is always friendly and willing to help with the abundance of delicious choices. I got a smoothie last week. I got a smoothie bowl this week. It had fresh strawberries fresh pineapple, walnuts, little dark chocolate drops, chocolate protein with almond milk. The base tastes like ice cream. I feel like I'm being bad but I'm not. Healthy eating is fun. I order on their app. It's easy and you earn points. They also have healthy treats for dogs that you can purchase.

Bare blends always has the most fun weekly flavors and the doughy bowl was one of my favorites!…read moreTasted just like a cookie and I love their healthy options which makes every bowl just the best! This is probably my favorite bare location, the girls working there are so nice and friendly and my bowls have always come out so delicious! It's also never crowded which is really nice just because the space is a bit smaller than the other locations I've been to. Overall I'm a big bare blends fan and highly recommend anyone with a craving for a smoothie bowl to stop by.

They're super affordable (esp with AMC student/employee discount) The hot and sour soup IS SO GOOD!!! My favorite of the soups! The chilis are amazing! The clam chowder is a bit salty for me, but still very lovely I also adore the poke bowls here. Filling and so worth it Choices cafe -- gets the job done!

I enjoy stopping in here for a meal. There is sit-down seating, but I always get my food to go…read more This place is typical of most establishments that have a steam table setup. What isn't typical is the excellent food and friendly staff! I usually get the peril, which is excellent, but certain that the other options are also worth straying from my usual ordering habits. I need to come back to try the lentil soup (served Wednesdays). I've heard good things about it.

Their juices are delicious and I try a new one every time I go (although I do have a favorite ) this tiny little place packs a huge punch of authentic flavor which is very difficult to find up here for some reason so it's definitely worth the visit!!

I want to like their food soo bad that I have gone back time and time again just to be utterly…read moredisappointed. Their menu looks sooo amazing but the food just doesn't live up to expectations. Received burnt eggs on my pad Thai that where so burnt they where black and inedible. I went back and got something else to replace it (chicken tikka masala) and I'm so glad on a whim I decided to grab some fries from a neighboring food truck. Because the chicken tikka masala was just as inedible.

I have tried this food truck a couple times now, it's my go-to spot. I agree w/the poster who said…read morethe soba noodles were an issue, mushy.. starchy.. The upside, sub in the zucchini noodles and side step the issue entirely. For anyone who is not down w/the veggie noodles give them a try. Otherwise try rice. I love the "zoodles" BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY I can't say enough about how much I really enjoy this food truck. Korean BBQ, steak bowl.. brisket. They're all really good. My favorite is the poke bowl, followed closely by the bruschetta bowl. The staff is the BEST of all the food trucks outside of the Capitol. They make an effort to make you happy, so switch proteins, substitute protein- they have tofu, they'll make it Keto if that's your preference.. They really make an effort to remember what you like.. they take your name w/your order & they get to know you. Today, I bought a bowl for lunch and dinner. Cuz.. that's how I bowl!
