The food was absolutely fresh, delicious, and creative. We spoke with the owner when the rush cleared, and it's evident he cares deeply about his quality and service. I wish we had room for dessert! Buy a sampler flight of their made-in-house balsamic to take home- I'm glad I did!

What a great place to find for lunch. We had visited a nearby lavender farm and were ready for…read morelunch and found this place. It had everything you want from a small charming cafe. Indoor and outdoor tables, eclectic and charming decor and most importantly good food. There are lots of Lebanese touches on the menu. I ordered a Labneh plate with pita and Kalamata olives. The Lebanese yogurt was rich and creamy combined with olive oil. My niece had a classic NY bagel with Lox. The capers and scallions were a nice touch. We were sitting outside near a tree that was growing through the deck with a hole surrounding it. I went to put my purse on the back of my chair and it fell in the hole!! About 3 ft. down. Luckily the charming owner got a younger member of the kitchen staff to crawl below the deck and retrieve my purse. My hero! They really should put some mesh over the opening. After that the owner started talking to us and told us some very interesting stories. We were the only ones there so he had time to chat with us. It was fun! He talked me into trying a lavender, oat milk latte. Their most popular drink. They roast the coffee on site. I took it to go. It was good. The other staff members were also very friendly and accommodating. Overall a great experience and I'm already thinking about the next time I can go to Sharon Springs. *Bonus it's right down the street from The Beekman 1802 store!

The interior of the Coffee Pot is filled wall to wall ceiling to floor with so many cute and kitschy trinkets that decorate the place and bring everything together. Their menu is typical and they have some rotating special desserts and treats. We got their apple strusel which was loaded with store bought whipped cream and I got their French toast with eggs. The apple was alright...It's a crepe with cinnamon sweet apples folded in - not really my style and I'm not in love with rediwhip whipped cream so it was a bit underwhelming, but their regular breakfast is great.

But what brought me here wasn't the coffee, but rather the location. This is the coffee shop in the lobby of Proctor's. It's a great meeting spot in downtown Schenectady, because it's large, has comfortable seating, and free wifi. Of course, there's coffee. Which helps. And the coffee is just fine. They have a dark roast, and a house roast. The house is a blend of Ethiopian and Columbian beans. A medium costs $2.16 and it's unimpeachable. Better than the convenience store. Better than the national donut chain. Maybe that makes it even good. They also have a decaf and a flavored coffee. The very presence of flavored coffee gives me a sense of what kind of coffee shop Apostrophe is trying to be. And that's a shop for people who don't really like the taste of coffee. I'm a hard grader when it comes to coffee places. I really want all coffee shops to offer great coffee and well made espresso drinks. Perhaps, there is something at this shop that makes it a standout. But I've yet to find it. Given Apostrophe's convenient location, I'll most certainly be back. But it does seem like there's a lost opportunity to use this location inside Schenectady's great theater, to sell coffee that's as fine as its surroundings. Especially since the people who pass through during performances, surely enjoy the finer things in life.

The chilled food is no longer glacially frozen, and the prefab sandwiches have some flavor and haven't been stale. The coffee situation is still mezzo mezzo, and the hot options are a little hit or miss. All that said, we are back to patronizing it when at the Proctor's arcade and are feeling in the need of a pick me up and are too lazy to walk over to Jay Street, but I still wouldn't categorize it as a destination.

The staff was accommodating and really went out of their way to find us comfortable seating. The food was so good, my husband who is not a chicken lover was so happy with his chicken sandwich (I wish I had gotten the actual name of the sandwich) he said he would order it again. My FIL loved his Shrimp Arugula salad. He couldn't stop eating it. My quiche was excellent so delicious , a blend of the ham, cheese and eggs with a flaky crust, and the soup was also delicious and creamy. I wish I had tried one of their lattes they looked so good. They had a steady stream of customers so they are busy. Try them out.
