    Pros Friendly and abundant Staff Spacious Ambience Good lighting compared to most Great place to grab a seat and chat with a friend or do so alone time studying or vibing. During the warmer months they have an outdoor patio with ample seating. Cons During peak hours Drive thru Mobile ordering can be problematic backed up. Other thoughts I usually prefer this Starbucks for the environment. When I am By the area I normally stop in.

    Probably the best Starbucks in the area. They staff is always very friendly and helpful, and the drinks seem to be better compared to the drinks made by others (i.e. Crossgates, Hoosick, etc.). My mom comes here with her dog all the time, and the staff are always so sweet when she comes around. They even made my mom's dog her own "Puppaccino" and hand-fed it to her. Very cute experience! Overall a great group down there and I'll continue to frequent the location often!

    I don't really have anything new to say about Starbucks, but seeing I come to this location multiple times a week I felt I should say what I like about this location. Service is friendly, and the people working here seem to enjoy what they do. They're quick and neat as well. Whoever does the hiring at this location did a great job with the current team. This isn't one of the larger Starbucks around here, but there is enough seating and the people who come here don't really seem to sit around all that long. Unlike some of the customers at other locations. Not a lot of long term lap-toppers or study groups here. Wolf Road towards Central Ave. and Stuyvesant are ridiculous with that issue at times. What I don't like about this location is the parking lot and the way it mixes in with the drive-thru traffic. More than once I've gone to back out and someone rounding the corner, from finishing up at the drive-thru, has come speeding through behind me.

    I go to this Starbucks 3-4 times a week, normally they do a great job but as of lately my order has been incorrect. I drink decaf coffee for medical reasons and on numerous occasions have received a coffee with caffeine without knowing. Today's iced coffee had way too much cream, I always ask for light cream and the amount of ice is ridiculous! I could hardly get the straw into the drink because of all the ice. What am I paying $3.19 for? Ice? Makes me seriously consider where I will be choosing to spend my money.

    its a Starbucks, alright.

    Ask the Community - Starbucks

    Is the iced white chocolate mocha good because I don't usually like coffee?

    It is good if you like really sweet coffee. If your like me and only have one pump of syrup in a medium cup of coffee then I would recommend getting something else.

    This morning my dog was being nosy at the drive thru and the barista looked over and asked if we would like a "Puppachino".

The staff were professional, pleasant, and coffee/tea focused! My wife enjoyed a black tea chai latte and I loved the reserve pour over coffee experience! I order pour over pretty much every time it's available at a coffee shop. Jacob Alejandro's pour over service is pretty much ceremonial! They serve it on a tray. The tray has the "pitcher", a glass for service, and a glass of palate cleansing jade tea in the middle. (I did have to ask what the jade tea was) The palate cleanse was the perfect start. The Costa Rican coffee was heavenly, one of those drinking experiences where even my amateur palate was engaged. It was truly nice to sit for a while and enjoy a great cup of coffee at Jacob Alejandro! Yes, they would fit in a larger city but smaller cities deserve great coffee also!

Could they really be open on Easter Sunday? It seemed too good to be true. A great cup of caffeine was just what I needed at that very moment. So my friend and I crossed Madison Avenue and peeked into the tinted windows. Not only were they open, but the place was bustling. The inside of Jacob Alejandro is elegant and beautifully decorated. Furniture, plants, music and wall art are arranged to set moods. It feels more like a club than a coffee house. The baristas are super friendly, helpful and patient. As I tried to make up my mind on what to order, they offered suggestions. I wound up with matcha. I think my friend had some kind of latte. I remember both beverages were delicious. They were made to be savored slowly. We took in our surroundings and it was very relaxing. We'll visit again. Thanks Jacob Alejandro for a nice experience.

    Albany's Washington Park is a gem in itself but it's also fortunate to have a number of great cafes…read moreand restaurants nearby. Among the more recent arrivals is Java Cafe on Madison Ave. It offers a nice variety of coffees, teas, other beverages and baked goods, all in a relaxing setting. What's more, they tell me that small dogs are welcome. I stopped in recently after taking a stroll in the park with my West Highland Terrier. I was surprised when they told me that my little dog could come in, too. I ordered the most wonderful hot chai latte with coconut milk and a dash of cinnamon. Since I was staying, it was served up in a stoneware cup with saucer. I also ordered a potato borek, which they explained was a small Turkish-style mashed potato pie. It was good. My friend ordered a delicious large house coffee with cream. The cafe is small but inviting with exposed brick walls. There's nice furniture and interesting wall art, including a banjo hung from one wall. But my favorite is the amoeba-shaped full length mirror with the words,"You look amazing," painted above it. How's that for giving customers encouragement? My little dog stood under our table and smiled. She was well behaved. There were several other customers but most of them looked lost- in -concentration over their laptops. It was a delicious and very calming experience for us after a nice walk in the park. Thanks, Java Cafe.

    This place is awesome, the staff is so kind and very attentive. The place is warm in both a decor…read moresense and a temperature perspective. The honey cake and latte I got was amazing! The pastry and latte my daughter had were also very good. (We left nothing if that says anything)! This place is located on a strip of coffee shops / cafes. It is worth a go and worth coming back to!
