We love mr bumbles!! The food is great and always so fresh, coffee is good, and the ownership/workers are always so friendly. I usually switch it up but the breakfast sandwiches on a bagel are always a go to!! read more

The food is delicious and prices are reasonable. The service was fantastic, the owner is really nice. But my favorite thing was the interesting selection of drinks. I've never seen Club Mate at any retail location in the US before, but it's fantastic. read more

Thank you for bringing breakfast daily to New Scotland Ave! Opened early enough for breakfast before work, which is a rarity unless it is DD or Stewart's. Also, I love the convenience of their little fidge with fresh veggies, fruit, alternative milk and such. Very much filling in the much needed gap in our area! read more

Mr. Bumbles cafe has probably the best egg sandwich in town. Definitely in the top 3! Highly recommend!

I ordered breakfast/early lunch yesterday from Mr. Bumbles Cafe and the food was DELICIOUS. The food is simple and straight forward, but cooked to perfection -- the chicken and turkey we're so moist and the flavors excellently balanced. On top of that they're just good people. Our order when it was delivered was accidentally mixed up, the cafe called us before we even opened the wrong bag to know something was wrong, remade our order so it was hot and fresh and redelivered it right away. I'd warmly recommend and can't wait to try more of their foods and smoothies! read more

Delicious food! I haven't had avocado toast that could beat this one. Their coffee is delicious too! Only rating 4 stars because sometimes they shut their delivery off due to "staffing issues." Other than that it is amazing! read more

The staff is incredibly friendly and the coffee is perfect - not too bitter or burnt tasting. read more

Just had the most fantastic turkey sandwich for lunch. I was craving a good sandwich and it hit the spot. Will definitely be back for lunch.

I met Brandon (owner) shortly after opening the cafe two years ago. I am a regular, usually visiting at opening time, and I live nearby with approximately one mile drive before my morning shift at a local hospital. I can not think of a time when Brandon was not at his cafe, besides one brief vacation week. I have recommended this venue to close friends, this is my first public advertisement. The food is fresh, and service is polite. Sometimes there is a wait, which I do not mind. Food is prepared to order and in front of the waiting customers. I am frequently the first customer of the day and I usually have a double latte and perhaps peanutbutter toast or breakfast wrap. I may order a snack or salad to take for my lunch. The hospital cafeteria lacks fresh fruit and veggie options and overall costs more than what I pay at Mr Bumbles. Food + Time + Effort. I have three espresso machines at home and can make a latte for myself. The community experience is why I invest in the cafe lattes. I prefer the neighborhood pulse, human interactions, the conversations, the inclusive atmosphere of Mr Bumbles Cafe to the "stay at home" morning option. A fresh flower bouquet greets visitors. The furniture is basic and functional, not pretentious. Today I was stricken by one man's opinion that I did not properly appreciate Mr Bumbles' plated buttered toast. I did order something not on the menu, and Brandon was kind enough to oblige. I was trying to experience my Saturday usual from a time when I was a homebody living with the love of my life homebody. We used to make lattes for each other. We would have buttered toast and pleasant conversation, we laughed a lot. I could be with my Valentine 365 days a year without leaving home. I was quickly reminded by the man that I was in a public space where others could see my food choices and comment. The encounter did help me decide to write this review. I have been negligent of my public opinion of Mr Bumbles Cafe for too long, thank you Mr man for the nudge. And thank you Mr Bumbles for noticing me, remembering my preferences in food, sharing your laughter and great humor, introducing me to others from the neighborhood, and giving me a sense of being welcomed in your establishment. I do appreciate the specials you create including the double latte with slight drizzle of honey and plated buttered toast on a cold dreary Saturday morning. read more

Great sandwiches, wraps, smoothies and coffee. Breakfast, brunch and lunch. Have had guests recently from California, Bay area and LA area and from Cleveland, Ohio. Everyone happy and wanted to return. read more

Won't ever go back! The guy at the counter was not friendly or kind in the least. It looked like I was bothering him by being there. The place has one other dinner and he was the only employee. The sandwich I ordered her cooked in a microwave! (Could have gone to dunkin for that) the fruit was nasty, didn't even touch it. Guy handed me my food at the counter and I bought it to the table. After there was a garbage can placed under the counter where he hands you your food, I observed the other diner empty her plate and place it on the counter. At this point I was too grossed out by my food the price for microwaved food and the general disgustingness of the place so I left me plate on the table after I ate what I could stomach and took off! read more

Super cute café with a menu filled with tasty options all made with fresh ingredients. I've gone a couple of times and left completely satisfied. Used to live in the neighborhood and I wish that this restaurant had been there when I was around the corner! read more

Food was good but service wasn't not there.....not a good morning, thanks for your order. This was my first ordering. Sad

Was waiting for a table at nearby restaurant, and decided to kill time here. Watta nice find. They have signature smoothies. Got the cantaloupe and it was sooo delicious. Pistachio Latte was better than a starbucks. Best of all, staff is super friendly. I usually hate waiting. Not this time... read more

They really don't overthink it here. When you want breakfast, sometimes you're in the mood for the huge plate of greasy diner favorites- the bacon, sausage, grits platter, etc. Other times you're feeling sophisticated and brunchy and want food you know you'll mispronounce. Mr. Bumbles does everyday food in a fresher, better presented way at fair prices in a cool setting. Menu is pronounceable, and because it's all clearly fresh food, it's quite delicious. It's nice to have a fresher option available when I travel up North to see my family again! read more

Fresh food, wonderful conversation, get the avocado toast it's amazing! Swing in for a relaxing meal.

I am compelled to write something - it's not my nature to complain and I apologize- I know it's hard to run a business. Even more reason to make sure that your customer service is at least reasonable. My husband and I were looking for some lunch. We were met with such rudeness, we didn't even bother ordering. The man at the counter (owner?) was so patronizing l, arrogant and unpleasant. Despite our close proximity to this cafe ,and liking the menu, we will never come here again, on principal. No food is worth that kind of behaviour. read more

I have only stopped in to get cookies, and they were awesome!!!! Great service and happy people! Definitely going to stop again!!!!

So happy to have a place like this nearby! The color scheme is very uplifting. The food preparation area is on display and gives the room a spacious feel. I could see people coming here on the regular for a nice, hearty, FRESH meal. I had a spinach salad and sandwich and it was the freshest I've ever had. The meal came with a fruit cup and applesauce, which I was expecting to be some pre-packaged variety. So I was pleasantly surprised to see such a variety of fruits including berries and fresh cut-up pineapple. The applesauce was sprinkled with cinnamon - such a nice touch! The hours make this a convenient spot to grab food any time. Loved it as a first-time customer and plan to come back and spread the word. read more

Great food, wonderful vibe, and supernice people. Am particularly fond of the cream of mushroom soup lately - just like mom used to make, literally. read more

Cute place. Heard about it a few days ago and was driving past and turned around when I saw where it was. I got The Albany Cardinal and it was delicious! The bread was very lightly toasted which was appreciated however it could have been a little more toasted to soak up the juices a little more. Overall very pleased and will definitely stop to try more of their sandwiches and their fresh fruit! The owner was making a cantaloupe fruit bowl and it looked mouth-watering delicious! read more

Busy as a bee. Had a lovely meetup with a friend and never felt rushed to make room. Avocado toast was delicious and satisfying. Would pay for a refillable coffee option. read more

Such a nice addition to one of the only nice, safe, clean and pleasant functional blocks in the city of Albany. Coffee is outstanding.... smoothies are incredible..... excellent breakfast sandwiches and fresh fruit. The service may be a little slower than other strip mall or drive thru National chains..... but that's because the owner cares and takes his time to do it right. read more

So yummy! My family and I were visiting Albany and we stopped by here in the morning. The decor was so cute and cozy - I wish we came when there wasn't a pandemic so we could have eaten inside. Food was amazing. We had the veggie breakfast wrap - SO GOOD. I NEED TO COME BACK FOR IT. Avocado toast was incredible as well. Staff was friendly! read more

So cute inside. Good food and smoothies, very fresh. Service was great too. This little cafe is exactly what New Scotland was missing.
