On a recent trip to the Albany area, I found myself on back-to-back work calls in my hotel room and…read morein need of lunch. In searching for a healthy lunch option that has delivery options on Yelp, I came upon Bowled. I ordered one of their signature açai bowls. It came with an açai base, peanut butter, berries, granola, banana, and chia seeds. The ingredients were all fresh, it tasted delicious and was incredibly satisfying. It filled me up and got me through my workday. Their bowls deliver well so no worries there. My bowl arrived at my door perfect and ready to eat. Not sure what their in house experience is like but as for delivery--get to it!

I ordered a fruit bowl W/bananas, blueberries and strawberries. I received a half full bowl of blueberries, old bananas w/the peeling still on it and 3 little pieces of strawberries (picture below). I refused to eat it because it look like it fell on the floor and was scraped back into the bowl. That's how bad it looked. I also ordered a Protein bowl. Yuk. It was a bowl of spinach, no romaine, couple pieces of hard boiled egg along with/a few other things. The croutons tasted like they were freezer burned. I took all of them out and tried to eat the rest of the food but I just couldn't do it. I will never order from here again. You are definitely one of the reasons I don't really eat out like I use to. Y'all just don't care about the quality of the food anymore. Smh

Excellent food, not so pleasant atmosphere…read more We stopped at Liza's of Troy for breakfast in Feb 2025 based on good reviews and appealing food pics. The order was taken at the register and then brought to our table. The food tasted great and was served quickly! All the dishes had a beautiful presentation! Coffee was a French press and was really good! The place had no cream or sugar for the coffee. Also there were no salt and pepper shakers on any table. When I asked for some salt they gave me a plastic sauce cap with some salt on the bottom to take it with my fingers. It was quite weird. For some reason "Butternut Squash Bowl" had only one egg while all other breakfast items had two. Not sure why this one was special. The real problem however was the smell. The very first impression we got upon entering was a strong smell of fried bacon and other foods. It was like standing next to a stove because the space is fully open, with no divider between the sitting area and the kitchen. In such a setup you need a strong hood exhaust but that in turn would make a lot of noise. Anyway, instead of taking our time enjoying the breakfast and great coffee we had to finish it asap and escape to prevent our jackets absorbing the smell :( We are giving Liza's of Troy 4 stars is it got 5+ on the food and coffee and 3 on the interior and atmosphere. Food ordered Butternut Squash Bowl - excellent and nicely presented. Had to order additional egg though. Breakfast Bowl - excellent and nicely presented. Big Betty Breakfast Sandwich - delicious.

And the reasoning for being closed is always "short handed". Why don't any of your staff stay? As a business owner myself, I'm literally shocked that this place has existed this long.

Received burnt eggs on my pad Thai that where so burnt they where black and inedible. I went back and got something else to replace it (chicken tikka masala) and I'm so glad on a whim I decided to grab some fries from a neighboring food truck. Because the chicken tikka masala was just as inedible.

The upside, sub in the zucchini noodles and side step the issue entirely. For anyone who is not down w/the veggie noodles give them a try. Otherwise try rice. I love the "zoodles" BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY I can't say enough about how much I really enjoy this food truck. Korean BBQ, steak bowl.. brisket. They're all really good. My favorite is the poke bowl, followed closely by the bruschetta bowl. The staff is the BEST of all the food trucks outside of the Capitol. They make an effort to make you happy, so switch proteins, substitute protein- they have tofu, they'll make it Keto if that's your preference.. They really make an effort to remember what you like.. they take your name w/your order & they get to know you. Today, I bought a bowl for lunch and dinner. Cuz.. that's how I bowl!

I had the latte shake and my wife tried one of their teas with an extra energy shot. Both drinks were delicious and a perfect post run/work out treat on Saturday morning. The drinks have a surprising amount of flavor while being low in sugar and calories. The owner and his staff were great at explaining their options and products. The best part of this place is it is dog friendly! Our 80 lb lab enjoyed the large dog bowl of water while we ordered our drinks. They have a couple small sofas which would make a nice place to relax with your drink and book. It is great to have this place within walking distance from our house. It is a nice addition to the neighborhood and we can't wait to go back!
