    Colombianita
    Nette B.

    They make it fresh when you order thats why it takes a while to get it. I only ordered the colombianita but it is yummy served with light green sauce. i wish they serve it with fresh sauce rather than blended one. This is located inside Galleria 7 Market.

    So delicious and made right in front of your eyes. Pico de gallo was amazing and all those sauces that came with the empanadas were delicious highly recommend.!!! We moved from Denver and these matched or exceeded anything there!

    Highly recommend this restaurant. Viva Empanadas I'm reviewing it for the gluten-free community as well. The food is excellent. If you haven't had one before it's a fried turnover basically very common in southern Europe and Latin American countries filled with a variety of fillings and she has a full menu of options not only empanadas. We've tried so many things on the menu now and I'm very comfortable recommending it for the gluten-free community as I have celiacs and have had absolutely no problems. I have brought trays of these treats to parties and I've served them to friends and brought them to catered events and have always had positive results and excellent service and quality food.

    Service was friendly and food seemed to be priced okay. The tostones ($12) were crispy with a wonderful avocado crema. Four tostones come to an order with cheese, crema, beef and pico. The Empanadas ($4 per) my husband ordered were also good. The beef had lots of peppers and onions. I by far preferred the chorizo even though it was greasy. The Empanadas crust was slightly grainy like cornmeal was in the dough which was great. We ordered 2 tropical lemonades ($4) which were also good. Id ask for less ice next time.

    Viva Emoenadas!!

    We did not expect to find this excellent quality of home made foods. We are shocked and delighted and will be sending our friends here and coming back ourselves

    Vegetarian viva arepas (bottom) and viva special (veganlicious and spinach empanadas)

    This place served one of the best Latin American food we have ever eaten! It was very flavorful and had good portion sizes. We got the vegetarian viva arepas and vegetarian viva special (2 empanadas + rice + beans + pico de gallo). There aren't a ton of veggie options but what they have is really good! The place is situated in a food court hall and is a nice place to hangout. Definitely recommend it!

    We did a variety of the gluten free empanadas and really enjoyed all of them. Tasty and safe for a gluten allergy.

    Delicious, relaxed lunch with my daughter. First time for her and second for me…read more The Mango Green Ice Tea was refreshing. We both ordered the Beef Sukiyaki and tossed salad. The tender moist beef slices on a roll were very good. The Ginger dressing on the salad was flavorful, and I wish I could buy it to elevate salads at home. We enjoyed the Red Bean Ice Cream which is creamy with tidbits of bean. Outstanding. Service was attentive, friendly, and efficient! Ambiance is relaxed which was welcome after shopping on Wolf Road. And the bucket chairs are so comfortable.

    Came here for a light lunch, tea and dessert. Our visit started off great- we were greated warmly,…read morepromptly seated and given menus. The tea was wonderful and our lunch items came quickly and were tasty. We asked to keep a menu, explaining we would like to get dessert after. Once we we received our lunch food, it quickly went downhill. We never saw our waitress again after that. My son finished his Boba tea and wanted another, but our waitress never came over to check on us. We sat for over 40 minutes after we recieved our initial order and not one waitstaff came over to ask if we wanted anything else, nor did they come over to give us the check. After giving up hope of dessert and more tea, we eventually went to the front counter to pay since we realized no one was coming to give us the bill. Normally, I would understand if it was understaffed or busy- yet the two parties next to us had waitstaff come over numerous times. We were literally ignored. We won't be back and I do not recommend.

Easy to order and easy pickup. Very convenient for me, in downtown Albany, just off the highway. I placed an order for 1/2 strawberry crunch cheesecake and 1/2 chocolate Pb cup for a special occasion/birthday surprise and everyone was blown away! They were very flexible / accommodating with pickup day/time. Very delicious. Will order again and highly recommend! Thank you. Extremely satisfied and the birthday girl was very happy!

They also offer a discount with a 518 Foodies card, which can be purchased at 518foodies.com. Misses Kisses Pies does something that I've never seen another bakery do and that's offer a four flavor cheesecake! That's right -- four flavors on one cheesecake. It's insane! I ordered the chocolate peanut butter, strawberry crunch, banana pudding and Cinnamon Toast Crunch. I couldn't decide which flavor I liked best. They were all so delicious and the crust was heavenly. To order, visit MissesKissesPies.com and look over the menu before calling (518) 461-7324 with your order. Highly recommend!!

    I am a regular customer at this particular Starbucks (1210 Troy Schenectady Rd) And usually visit…read moreseveral times a week. The service here is consistently excellent, and I would like to recognize the team for their professionalism and attention to detail. There are two employees in particular that standout to me. They both always know my regular order by heart, despite it being somewhat nuanced and often involving several beverages. That level of familiarity and care is impressive in itself. I don't even have to say anything. They always run it by me just to make sure it's right but they know it. Sometimes I do switch up what I am going to get so checking with me first is always appreciated but it is nice to be recognized. Today it was Nick that handled my order and once again he knew it by heart. On another occasion, I placed the order and it was in the process of being made and the other gentleman paused during preparation to politely confirm that the order was intentionally different from my usual. I laughed and confirmed yes it was in deed different and then he recited my usual order from memory and I said yup that's what I usually order. That moment spoke volumes about the pride they take in their work. It feels good to be seen and recognized as a regular customer. Experiences like this are what sets this location apart. I visit other local Starbucks occasionally but this Is the one I choose as my "home base"and it's a large part of why I do. Kudos Latham Plaza Starbucks For the consistency, attentiveness, and outstanding customer service.

    It's a Starbucks... buts it's a good one. I come here when I'm in a hurry, I use the mobile app…read more.. my order is always ready, waiting and done well.
