I first went to Mr. Bumbles Cafe when they originallh opened and had a fantastic experience. Now, after a several year time period of living out of state, I have returned to try them out again and I was not disappointed. The service was warm and friendly. The food was outstanding, utilizing fresh sourced produce and baked goods. The cafe was spotless, as was thd rest room. The decor is friendly and inviting. I will definitely be back! read more

The first time I went it was fine. You can hardly see the menu which is on the wall. That's the only menu. My friend came another time and she has a vision problem and they refused to help her figure out what was in the menu. When I went in today, I sat at the counter and waited. There were three people congregated, talking. No one else at the register/ordering counter. Instead of greeting me, the guy waits several minutes at register waiting for them to approach him. Then he puts in their order and started clearing dishes off tables. Still no one has acknowledged my presence. Finally the chef turns around and I have my opening to ask for a menu, and he snaps at me"Go to the counter and look at the menu!" So rude! He then apologized for not seeing me but it was too little too late for me. I walked out immediately. I'm a grown ass woman. I'm not going to be barked at by some random dude on cocaine or whatever his problem is. Edit: hahaha! he immediately clapped back at my review. Very defensive. I worked in food service for YEARS and I never found it necessary to scold or argue with a customer.You might want to read Title III of the Americans with disabilities Act. It's a law that your menu has to be accessible to People with a vision impairments or you at least have to help them verbally know what u serve. You might want to ask yourself why you think it's okay to unleash your anger on women too. It's all women you try to humiliate, isn't it Brandon? If you're not careful one day a disabled woman you try to humiliate will file a discrimination report or ADA violation on you. Those are very very expensive Brandon. Maybe don't hate women so much? read more

Enjoyed a hot oat milk latte this morning and tried a bagel with the chipotle honey cream cheese. The bagel was soft and chewy & the cream cheese had a nice kick to it. The inside is eclectic and clean & service is cheery and friendly! Still a great neighborhood place to have good food with friends or a quiet cup of coffee by yourself! read more

Mr. Bumbles had been on my radar for a while, so when I had an appointment not too far away, I knew I had to visit. I can find a lot of good words to include here: Cozy, charming, unique, friendly, welcoming. I could taste the freshness and quality in my made-to-order breakfast sandwich. That was a small coffee?!?!?! The decor is fun. Street parking is very convenient too. Similar types of stuff I could get at fast food places closer to my home just can't compare. If I lived closer, I'd be here all the time. Even with a slightly longer drive, I still want to come back here more often. read more

Mr Bumbles is a cute little breakfast place near the Hospitals on New Scotland in Albany. You order at the counter but they will bring the food to the table. We had breakfast egg sandwiches and coffee. I had a latte with honey and oatmilk which was tasty. The sandwiches are customizable with ingredients and breads and I had avocado which was fresh and good. The sandwiches come with a side dish and I got some fresh fruit. A good choice for a casual and easy light breakfast or lunch. read more

I saw their name. I wanted honey. So, I entered their quaint little cafe and ordered some honey pancakes as well as a smoothie to go with the it. It was thick, it was sweet, and it tasted great! Texture seems grainier than other pancakes so probably some more protein within it. I enjoyed the finishing touch of a bee design with the powdered sugar right on top of the pancake. The smoothie was also good. I spent around $20 for breakfast. read more

We're in the area visiting a family member in the hospital, came in to decompress and get something to eat. Already a little challenging with celiac disease. Walked in and was greeted by a very nice young lady and wanted to make sure there would be no cross contamination so we asked if they use a separate toaster for any toast used in what we planned to order. The man in the back was completely dismissive and just rude and unclear until he finally blurted out "we would just put it in the oven we don't use a toaster". We went out of our way to get closer to him with worries he just couldn't hear us, but he just seemed irritated he was even being asked a question. The person with celiac is a large man who was planning to order a sandwich a salad and a smoothie but limited his order due to not being confident that his food wouldn't cause him to be severely sick. For a place who plasters inclusive messages all over their business we expected a tad more accommodation, but was greeted with an angry bald man instead. read more

Picked up lunch on a Thursday afternoon here. To summarize; mediocre. First of all I had to wait 30 minutes for a tube tuna salad sandwich and a salad. A bit long for such a simple order. The tuna salad sandwich was not tuna salad at all, just the standard tuna fish and mayonnaise. In a salad you would anticipate some additives (onion, celery, pickles) where unfortunately there were none. Quite disappointing. House salad was just not tasteful. I took one bit and threw the rest away. Overdone with salt, and pepper and just a bitter taste. The house made balsamic didn't impress either. The interior decor and ambiance was cute, and I could see myself sitting down for a cup of coffee here maybe. Well decorated and inviting. Nothing to note of service, just a standard college student cashing people out. A bit of a long wait for a salad and sandwich, but that's just me being picky. I'd give it another try but not impressed this time around. read more

I love everything about this cafe! The service is amazing and the food is delicious. I am never disappointed when I visit

Not at all welcoming when we arrived!! Not friendly, too busy to even say Hi! We really wanted to love a good coffee spot as we'll be moving nearby and would love to walk to, enjoy and support local businesses. We were a bit taken aback by the question of how we wanted our lattes... what...what?? The owner, rudely "explained" when we asked to enlighten us as we'd never been asked this before when ordering in a coffee shop. Ok, alright, two shots of espresso seemed like enough of a jolt...coffee ordered! Here is where things greatly improved, the coffee was EXCELLENT. However, we felt so unwelcome that we took our coffee to go. I would've liked to have hung out inside (it was COLD out) and we probably would've made an impulse (sweets) purchase while enjoying the coffee but the reception inside was cold too. We will give this place another try. Maybe someone was having a bad day ‍ not sure. But all of us need another shot, espresso or not! read more

Came in on a whim looking for coffee and a quick breakfast, really glad I did! Staff was friendly, helpful to a first timer such as myself and prompt. Latte was well done and relatively quick to make it into my hands. Sandwich followed not too long after and was delicious. I mean it was a standard egg cheese and bacon on a sesame bagel but I've been plenty of places that have messed that up. I'm not in Albany too often, let alone for breakfast but I will definitely be coming back. Took it all to go, in and out in 10 mins tops. read more

Was in Albany for a day and needed some liquid energy and my friend recommended this spot. I can't attest to the food, but their lattes were on point! The bumble nut latte was a unique must try! Usually I feel like honey nut cheerios make my milk a little too sweet. But this was definitely just a hint which was perfect. Also tried their pistachio latte that was really good as well! Will definitely be back to try their other things when I am in the area. read more

Everything from the food, staff, and location is amazing. We get our breakfast here every weekend, and they never miss! The cafe itself is also really cute and cozy. I recommend the New Scotland Clucker and I love the honey cakes. Hubby always orders a breakfast sandwich! read more

I love Mr. Bumbles!! Largely for the atmosphere, it's a cozy space to hang out. Their breakfast offerings are always solid.

My friend and I went to have lunch. I ordered turkey wrap. It had the usual lettuce, garlic, herb sauce, and mayonnaise. The wrap was good size and I was hungry so I ate pretty much all of it. My friend had a rap. Also, she liked it place was really busy cool atmosphere I'd go back for breakfast. Parking not so good. It's the neighborhood not too much room. read more

Oh this place is adorable! Finally made it in and so glad we did. Very friendly service and great selection for your early in the days feedings. I wish this was closer to my place, I would sit here all the time. Inviting and good vibes all around. Fun Groups of customers coming in and out. Funky artwork and mix and match chairs. Ordered salads, huge like I like them. Not sure where they get their greens but they were awesome. Try their specialty chipotle vinaigrette. Be sure to grab a container of broken cookie bits... they don't have calories if you eat the bits! One complaint... the forks were small, made it hard to dig in to my salad. read more

I don't have the words to explain how incredible this place is. The menu will cover everyone in your group from vegans to meat eaters and everyone will be happy. Mr. Bumble himself (you can't miss the stellar mustache) was incredibly kind and patient with us.

My family and I stumbled in our first day in town and went back everyday after. read more

Wonderful spot! Best avocado toast. Great atmosphere! A sweet spot to brunch with a pal or do some work in a mellow space.

I was super hungry and just in the mood for a good sandwich. I've been here before for just a plain bagel and cream cheese but today that wasn't going to cut it. I needed a thicc sandy... and that's EXACTLY what I got. Look at how much turkey they put in this!! Did not feel skimped at all. I could only eat half the sandy so my boyfriend got lucky and devoured the other half. The honey chipotle vinaigrette was fire. Very satisfied and will go back soon! Also comes with fire pickle and tons of chips read more

Mr Bumbles Cafe appears to be off to a good start, redeveloped from the chain pizza takeaway at this location for years. The staff appears efficient, courteous and knowledgeable, as they adjust to this new locale, with quirky bee-themed decor and a fully open kitchen. The breakfast/brunch items are quickly prepared and simply presented. All of the tables are currently fitted with very simply constructed stools, not the most comfortable, but easy to clean during the current pandemic. I hope they soon expand their café options beyond just espresso. This neighborhood only has two current morning options for coffee: the chain mini-mart or the gas station, and unsurprisingly, neither is worth waiting in line. This could be an area for Mr Bumbles to easily monopolize. 2021 02 09. read more

An update, one year later: I came back for lunch with my husband whilst lost in a post-gym hanger fog, and my five star review was proved totally appropriate. We got a giant roast beef sandwich, a bowl of excellent tomato bisque, an iced coffee, and possibly the best Cobb salad I've ever had (perfectly crispy bacon, hot and tender chicken, extremely fresh produce) all for $33.50. Just for reference, a Cobb salad at a different establishment nearby costs $22 just on its own, and I highly doubt that it could be any more delicious than this one. Me. Bumbles is still awesome, and may have to become our weekly post-gym go-to destination. read more

As the adage goes, health is wealth. If you want one of the most balanced healthy and delicious breakfasts in the 518, then you need to fly over to Mr.Bumbles. They aren't just buzz folks. The proof is in the pudding or, in my case, the consistently delicious food. Be it their large satisfying Honest Cobb Salad, their delicious coffee concoctions or smoothie menu Brandon Doran makes everything fresh and scrumptious. He also gives back to the community. Love that. If you dine in the space, it is bright clean, and the murals and decor are fun and lively. His staff, including Brandon, the owner/chef, are warm, courteous, and professional. They are very knowledgeable about their menu and willing to adjust to the customers' needs. Thank you, Brandon, for raising the bar and really looking out for your customers' health. I really love the fact he also offers protein packs like hardboiled eggs and cucumber too. read more

It's alright, although it blows my mind that I have to wait 25-30 minutes for a sandwich. They gave me my smoothie first, by the time I got my food it lost its cool. I didn't think they would take that long. I wanted to give my girlfriend a fresh smoothie before work, but I ended up missing her due to the wait time. For a quicker bite I recommend a deli like the one around the corner. I can't say the sandwich tasted like it was worth the wait. read more

The owner of Mr. Bumbles was very rude yesterday. Ordered a cappuccino. There had been a new cashier training who had me repeat the type of milk I wanted when it deleted from the system - so the owner was there at that point. However, I get my drink and am making small talk with a friend about how much foam is in a latte vs a cappuccino, and stirring in the Splenda they had forgotten to add (which was not a big deal at all). He overhears a semblance of the conversation and gives an enormous attitude saying that's what I ordered and when I said I know I was just stirring Splenda in, he rips the coffee out of my hand. He then says if you want Splenda you have to order it at the counter because we froth it in the milk. I said oh.. I did.. and he rolls his eyes and gives an enormous Karen attitude saying "no... hmm.. you didn't.. I was there" with a condescending smile. it was kind of shocking the attitude and I really hope they tighten up the customer service because I do enjoy their sandwiches. But I was appalled, genuinely. Never had a drink ripped out of my hand to then by belittled for stirring in my own Splenda after they got my order wrong. read more

What can I say about Mr. Bumbles!? It's an amazing gem of a breakfast and lunch place on New Scotland Avenue. 2/3 of a block from my home, it's a daily part of my routine. Whether it's coffee and a breakfast sando...or lunch...or a later pick me up, Brandon and staff always treat me right. And such a great cheerful vibe! I recently just used them to cater a large event, sandwiches were super fresh and did not disappoint! I love Mister Bumbles! read more
