The shelves are stocked with imported pastas, sauces, and specialty items that make it hard to leave empty-handed. I ordered the Chicken Cutlet Sandwich, which was outstanding with a perfectly crispy cutlet and fresh ingredients. The macaroni salad was a great side, and the cannoli was the perfect sweet ending to the meal. If you're looking for authentic Italian flavors and a true old-school market experience in Albany, Cardona's is definitely worth a visit.

When we walked in, we noticed that the food bar was not totally open yet. Some of the food was out, but not all of it. My husband politely asked an employee who was placing food into the trays when it would all be ready. She literally looked at my husband like he was an idiot (not exaggerating) with epic double stink eyes and said.."Well I'm putting it out now!" He asked again when it would all be out because we wanted to come back. She curtly replied, "AS SOON AS I'M DONE!" It was so rude and an embarrassment for such a great place. By the way, an additional employee who was there actually laughed at us. Perhaps she needs a vacation or a lesson in civility? The stars are for the food, not the employees..

A friend who misses The Bread Butler, maybe even more than I, told me that there was an excellent…read moresourdough bread being baked by Anicca Bakery in Troy and sold at the Honest Weight Co-op. I was at the Co-op the next day. A variety of their breads are located in a shelf display across the aisle from all the other breads. I saw sandwich rolls, French baguettes, plain sourdough, three seeds sourdough, whole wheat sourdough, plain challah, everything topped challah, and a couple of variations that I don't recall. Some of the loaves are also available in half-loaf sizes. I purchased a loaf of 3 Seed Sourdough ($8.69) and a loaf of Everything topped Challah ($7.29). Both are excellent in their own right. The 3 seeds on the sourdough are organic dry roasted pumpkin, organic dry roasted sunflower, and organic golden flax seeds. Anicca makes a point of stating that they make every attempt to obtain all their ingredients within 200 miles of the Troy bakery. The sourdough has a nice chewy crust and a decent sour flavor. The challah has a softer crust than the sourdough, just a bit of sweetness and a slightly lighter colored crumb. The challah is also double bagged for some reason. The loaf is placed in a plastic bag before it is placed in the outer paper bag. Maybe that was to protect the everything topping? If you visit their web page https://aniccabakery.com/ you will learn that you can order online and pickup your order at Alias Coffee Shop in Troy. You may also notice that their web page does not mention all the varieties of bread that I saw at the Co-op and shows a more limited production schedule. Maybe their web page is just not up to date. Another issue I ran into was knowing whether the bread was fresh. Glancing at the information on the label of my two choices, I saw that the sourdough was labeled as "Date Baked on10/29/25" (GREAT! That was today), while the challah was labeled as "Date Baked 10/30/25." WAIT!!! How can that be? 10/30/25 is not until TOMORROW!!! I checked several other packages and found that all the packages of challah were labeled with tomorrow's date. As an aside, does that mean I wouldn't be able to eat the challah until tomorrow? LOL Or better yet, if I eat it today does that mean the carbs don't exist yet? Still, LOL. In any event, a Co-op employee noticed my confusion and insisted on informing management while wondering if this meant the sourdough could have actually been sitting on the shelf since 10/28/25. Today or not, but probably tomorrow also, both breads were excellent. I'm looking forward to trying a whole wheat sourdough.

It has been done before, but I didn't want to argue my point to Jason who has no interest in customer service. I called back and spoke to Jadon, who was funny and took my order for the following morning; no problem. I arrived and asked for my order and was told they didn't have it. I told the young man (who was very plesant", Jason has taken the order. The young man went to get another employee, who came out and told me,I think Bryan but can not be 100% sure- Sept 24, 2022), there was no order. I told him, I gave the order to Jason. He replied, "we do not take orders of the phone." I replied, "well he did." I know Jason wrote the order down because he read it back to me. The manger or who ever he was, thought it more important to explain why they don't take orders over the phone. As a manger, you should realize, customers dont care about processes of a company, they shop where they are treated good. After my deli order eas received, I walked to the bakery for the french bread I ordered the day before. They had it put aside for me, engaged in conversation, 100% service! I have had a lot of experiences shopping at this store and they are obviously doing a lot of work on their selection of employees. The store overall experiences have improved so much, very noticable. Just needs a little tweeking! The stars are for the bakery and the nice young man behind the deli counter who presented as happy to help. Bryan (or Ryan) get no stars).

I had to go search around for the deli and found it in a case ahead of where the deli was. After circling around a couple times I found it. Also, they need to put out some hand baskets in the cart area if possible, or nearby for people to go in and quickly get some small items. They could have a little more small carts as well. Constantly going in and seeing none in the entrance area, let me know that the ratio is a little bit off. Other than that, they have some really nice premade dinners that I am always picking up and they have the best cheddar in the area in the form of sliced cheese. The market itself is well situated, where I can get in and park and get out as well.

Their veggie guy or gal is genius: great selection for such a tiny store. Everything is well-presented, looks fresh and attractive, and there are no sad looking, wilted, filthy, or neglected greens.

It's not a huge selection (usually just salmon filet and cod) and sometimes it runs out before I get there, but it's always super fresh when it's there. I usually use the self-check-out, and the staff manning this are always helpful and friendly.
