17 days ago, I left a 2-star rating for this business based on my experience with employer-sponsored lunch. Over the following two weeks, on two separate occasions, this business left two lots of unsolicited food, unannounced, at my place of employment. Still, two days ago, recognising the effort of the business owner and out of my natural desire to support a local business, I upgraded my previously 2-star rating to a 4-star rating. Today, I learned that this business contacted a staff member at my workplace directly two days ago upon seeing my upgraded food review, and communicated their refusal to serve me. While they have a right to refuse service to me, I wish they had reached out to me via the Yelp platform instead of getting my workplace involved. A business cannot please every customer. Many unhappy customers simply do not provide feedback and never return. But some customers take the time and effort to provide feedback. When they do, the business has a choice as to how to handle that feedback. It is my hope always that businesses accept feedback as an opportunity to hear from their customers, learn from it, and improve. This business decided to handle my feedback in a different way, and it has left me feeling very uncomfortable. read more

Amazing work and beyond beautiful and amazing customer service highly recommend !!! Great flavor ! And amazing ambiance!

This sweet little Schenectady spot is not to be missed! Nestled in a cozy nook on a busy little corner, Sandye's Café offers such a really great lunch menu. Across the street from one of my favorite pizza joints, I've long been intrigued with this cafe, but their daytime cafe hours have kept me away. One silver lining of the Coronavirus quarantine is that I'm now sticking close to home these days (too close), and I have some time to explore local menus at lunchtime, Sandye's being one of them. Her menu has it all: breakfast sandwiches, savory appetizers, salads, wraps, sandwiches, and baked goods, covering your breakfast, lunch, and dessert bases. Trifecta, anyone? I was really craving a buffalo chicken wrap because COVID-19 is putting a damper on my chicken wing game, so when I saw it on the menu, I was done; I had to have it. And it delivered, because it really hit the spot! Plenty of crispy chicken nugs, tossed in a buffalo wing sauce, romaine, ranch dressing, and diced tomatoes. I broke my own rule by ordering it with the prescribed tomatoes; 9/10 I am not a fan of tomatoes, period, unless they're homegrown with lots of sunlight and TLC; otherwise, they're bland and mealy, in my opinion. So while that was the only flaw, they were easy to pick out, so it didn't bother me too much. Also, can I just say, I love it when kitchens lightly grill the wrap, searing it, and all its juicy bits into formation, and I was happy to see that's how they roll in Sandye's kitchen, too. My dining buddies raved about their salads: + Balsamic Spring Speciality: crisp romaine, candied walnuts, cranberries, mandarin oranges, crumbled feta, and balsamic vinaigrette. + Chipotle Chicken Salad: crisp romaine, diced tomatoes, black beans, corn, grilled chicken tossed in their house southwest ranch sauce, and served with a side of creamy ranch. I had a sampling of both, and they were incredible! Awesome flavors, with a crunch that only comes with fresh veggies and ingredients, and any salad with a healthy sprinkling of candied walnuts is speaking my language. I was thrilled I finally got to try Sandye's; she's also making an effort to put together some family-style dinners, priced and portioned to serve 2 or 4 people, so I think I'm going to get in on her taco bar later this week. Also, Sandy is a bonafide cakemaker, so give her social media look for some of her sweet handiwork! Thinking about getting a quarantine cake because, why not? read more

I have never done business with a more wonderful, compassionate (for reasons not necessary to share here) and delicious bakery. Sandye and her team are amazing. Her cakes are so creative, and there doesn't seem to be a theme that she can't accommodate - with her special flourish! I have ordered from Sandye's many times and they will continue to be my "go-to" bakery in the future. DO NOT hesitate to trust them for all of your bakery needs. HIGHEST PRAISE and GRATITUDE !! read more

Sandeys called me and offered a free lunch to make up for the mix up. Pretty stand up thing to do. Changed my opinion to recommend! Paid 3 or 4.50 for a cup of soup. Opened it and it was half full. Disappointing. $9.50 for a salad that had not been tossed in a dressing as advertised. Also supposed to come with a side of ranch which it did not. $15 is a lot to pay for this sad lunch. Don't recommend. read more

Sandyes cinnamon buns are the best around by far..Dont hesitate to order them..they are delicious read more

Sandye's Cafe is amazing!! We have ordered cater deliveries through them many times here at the office... including today! They are super quick, friendly, and accommodating to work with. If you are unsure about anything, just call them and they will help you with everything. Great food and service. We have ordered the sandwiches, salads, hot foods, and desserts there. (ALL GREAT!!) Also, they have good prices, and they are always on time or early. I highly recommend! PS- The salads are BOMB, and don't forget the roasted potatoes. Those were a hit! read more

Amazing food and service definitely worth your stop by. Sandy and Marissa is the best

A Groupon enticed me to try out SanDye's. Turns out it is literally a minute from my home! Bonus points. A cheery, cafe bedecked in red and white coffee shop knickknacks and a large LED TV greet you at the door. It was early on a Monday morning, so I was not surprised that the small cafe was empty--I'm sure it is busy at lunch time. I immediately ordered an iced coffee with caramel (my go-to) and a chicken, bacon, ranch panini. The panini came with potato chips in a foil to-go container. I was impressed that it wasn't styrofoam (kudos on that). Everything was very tasty and satisfying. I was told the ice cubes in the coffee were made with coffee, which also was impressive. The cashier told me while I was waiting that she'd harvested some zucchini from her garden and made zucchini bread for the cafe, which was in the oven at the time. I liked the "farm-to-table" spirit. We also chatted about her choice of movie playing on the TV at the time. This little corner cafe is great for a quick bite or coffee. It is clean, efficient, and friendly. I was disappointed not a single pastry or baked good was available so I knocked off a star. You could bring your laptop since there's a couple of tables, but this place might be better as a place to get your coffee and snack on your way to Central Park to work outside under a tree. read more

This place should get together with Apostrophe in downtown Schenectady, because everytime I see it I think it's the "Sand Yes" Cafe. In any event, Sandye with an 'e' is the proprietor, and superintends a friendly little breakfast and lunch place that has much to recommend it. There are only a few tables and three stools at the small counter, but it's all very friendly and intimate if occasionally a bit crowded to get in and out of. This is the only real breakfast place in walking distance of the hospital (if you eat at the hospital cafeteria, you may run the risk of ending up in the hospital, IMHO) and does original if somewhat quotidian breakfast sandwiches/paninis. It's more in the fast-casual than either fast or diner end of the spectrum - counter service and takeout - but it's hearty and decent. Lunch sandwiches and wraps are a little more recommended as they tend to be of the ilk you can't find in the vicinity - particularly wraps and salads. What the place lacks a bit in polish it makes up for in moxie. Better for sure than, say, Dennyes. Recommended for a stop by if not quite a destination. read more

I just happened to hear of this place today as I was asking where I can get a quick meal, as I had a dr appointment shortly. My mom and I decided to give it a try and wow! Everything about this place is 5 star. We both got sandwiches (bbq panini and turkey club) and somehow this place managed to take average sandwiches and make them amazing. The Mac salad...equally amazing. The staff is exceptional. Very personable and they go above and beyond to make sure you have a pleasant experience. I asked if the bread used had any seeds (as I'm on a strict "no seed" diet for the time being, and the owner took the time to explain everything to me! Certainly appreciated. This review is getting very long but one more thing to mention...take a look at the specialty cakes! We sampled a cupcake and decided we will be using her pies and cakes for our upcoming family parties. My family loves dessert lol. I would definitely recommend! 10/10 all the way. read more

My sister and I went to Sandyes to grab some food while getting some work done on our laptops using their free wi-fi. Sadly, we found that Sandyes was not the type of place we wanted to hang around for long. The environment felt very lackluster and bland and, as the only customers there, we could easily overhear Sandye and her employee gossiping in the kitchen. The service was friendly and acquainting but overall unimpressive. The best part of Sandyes was definitely the food. My sister and I each got egg and cheese sandwiches with meat ($5.95) and they were quite delicious. I opted out of getting the hashbrown for an extra 99 cents but received it anyway, which I was initially pleased about because she said I wouldn't be charged for it, but was ultimately turned off by because it was as much grease as it was potato. I ordered a banana peanut butter smoothie as well. They don't have a menu of smoothie flavors but rather will put together whatever you request if they have it. I was disappointed about the smoothie because rather than use fresh fruit they use artificially flavored syrup. Still tasted good, but didn't make me feel good. The place seemed very disorganized - when we went to pay she was ready to charge me for the smoothie alone and not the breakfasts that we had finished about a half hour before (a mistake that would have been much more understandable if we hadn't been the only customers in the cafe for 90% of our time there). When she rung up our food, we couldn't tell if she added the cost of the hashbrowns or not and we did not receive a receipt breaking it down for us, which was a bit worriesome considering how disorganized they seemed to be. Put simply, Sandyes has good tasting food overall but some lacking in quality. It is not a great place to hang out, but perhaps worth stopping in for a quick bite or something to go. Prices aren't bad but I won't likely be returning after my unremarkable experience read more

I pass by this breakfast and lunch spot quite often, but usually when I am in the area, it's dinner time or later and Sandye's is closed for the night, so I didn't get to check this place out until recently. Sandye's Cafe is located on Union Street, near Schenectady High School and Ellis Hospital, which is where I figure that they get most of their business from. There is a small dining area with a couple of high table, but I think that they do most of their business as a take out restaurant. Menu wise, they serve a lot of salads, baked goods, sandwiches, wraps and paninis, and in my case, I ordered a turkey cranberry wrap, which was tasty. The staff was also quite friendly, and clued me into various discounts that they offer, plus gave me a business card that also included small coupons for money off some of their menu items. I was pleasantly surprised by Sandye's Cafe and it is definitely worth checking out. read more

Sandye's Cafe & Cakes - Cupcakes and lattes! So so good! - Cafes Near Me - Schenectady, New York

I ordered a chocolate cake from here for my son's graduation that we discussed at length via FB and on the phone. It was to be school colors in camo pattern, I was told it would be big enough that I should arrange a small SUV to pick it up and it would be Chocolate. The cake was so tiny that I held it on my lap in the front seat of the car, it was GREEN Camo, and was VANILLA! When I told her I was not happy-she made excuses. Then, since I had only found out my cake was not chocolate at the party, I called and asked for a FULL refund. She was rude and insisted that she was keeping my $25 deposit no matter what. It took almost a month before I got money back from her and she KEPT the deposit! She was unprofessional and accusatory when called out on her breach of contract, she even blocked AND removed my review from her page. Would NOT recommend this person to anyone!!! read more

Love the Buffalo wrap. Good cupcakes too. I only go for takeout though because it's very small inside. I prefer that for lunch anyway so it's perfect for me. read more

I love these guys. They have high quality food at super reasonable prices. Try their delivery! Salads and sandwiches never disappoint.

It's been a great spot to eat since it opened. I grab coffee the there in the morning daily, and it's always hot and fresh. Their early hours allow for a nice shot of espresso before 7 AM. I order my food ahead of time, typically and it's always fresh when I since arrive. For someone in school, it's a great way to grab a bite in the allotted half hour. read more

My mom and dad and I were in the area for a wedding and needed to grab a bite before the festivities. Sandye's was perfect. The wraps and sandwiches were generous and tasty, and Sandye made me a very pleasant Caprese salad. Julia was our server, and her sharp-tongued humor was a hoot! She and my dad went back and forth for a while and it felt just like home. They even stayed open late just for us. Thanks, guys! read more

Very disappointed with the outcome of the cake , specifics were given and was I told that it could be adjust and when i picked up the cake it Wasnt exactly what I asked not for, owner confronted the next day with conversations about my perferences and only was apologized to, and offer 10% of whole cake which is $8.00....and said that i signed a contract and had I read it I had the choice to leave it and not pay for it if i was dissatisfied.. really what choice do i have was i suppose to postpone my daughters birthday I think not... and to top it off she blocked me on facebook! Strongly not recommended! read more
