I really like Bountiful Bread and I go their frequently, mostly for their morning glory muffins. Their sandwiches, soups, and salads are just special and made with care. For example, my simple breakfast sandwich (pictured) was on a full ciabatta sub and it had spinach. The server, who is always there in the morning and always so kind, suggested an array of veggies when I told her I did not eat pork. The decor is peaceful - light brown wooden aesthetic. It would be a cool place to study. The only thing I do not like at BB is their coffee. They have a nice selection of bottled beverages, and if I really want coffee, then I go to Uncommon Grounds, but not until after I get breakfast from BB. read more

Their food is consistently good I can rely on them to always have vegetarian /vegan soups which are delicious. Service is fast read more

1st time there today. Ordered the Hawaiian bowl and the salmon bowl. Rice on bottom of bowls was Rock HARD! Not good for your teeth! Meet and fish was tasty, ambiance was upbeat, fun atmosphere. May try again and order something else next time. read more

Good bakery. On my visit at the end of the day, the racks were empty. Customers did not know where to order as theres too many cash registers. Lexi, who had no idea what her job entails, cut the bread I purchased in a stupid manner. Throwing stuff around a bakery, does not make your day go by: pay attention to customers, first! Lots of seats are a saving element. Doughs in bread and treats need less salt! Review: 4 read more

Under the weather and need soup so i was able to search this place. The soup and sandwich combo is a good deal. Soup is delicious and the sandwich is great! Tasty and not dry. It has mozarella and tomato in pesto sauce which makes it delicious. The cashier is friendly. I dd not wait too long for them to make my order. This is conveniently located in stuyvesant strip mall. I will surely come back here. read more

I had a hankering for some soup today, so I stopped my BB...Soup of the Day was a "Marry Me Chicken Soup". Hands down the best soup I've ever had! It was so good I had to call and give my compliments to chef. Miss Debbie told be Miss Lisa made it :) Also, I'm pretty sure it was Miss Debbie who helped me at the register and she, too, was awesome! I think the last time I went to Bountiful Bread was severallll years ago, but I will surely be back soon! read more

Just stopped quickly for tea and a yummy cinnamon bun (more like a cake!) It was freshly baked and scrumptious! Lots of cinnamon and not too sweet. My husband and I shared it and we were stuffed! Excellent! read more

I love bountiful bread! Went in yesterday for a quick lunch with co-workers! I took the advice of the cashier and ordered a steak sandwich her way (minus the cheese) and I chose a half sandwich with Italian chicken soup! OMG! At first when I opened up the sandwich it looked pitiful because I didn't get much on it besides peppers and onions and they burned my bread a bit, but it was AMAZING! And can we have a moment of silence for the soup! 10/10 chefs kiss GOOD! It was creamy and tomato-y with elbow macaroni swimming around ...probably and easily the best thing I've had so far! I see yall BB! read more

The restaurant is clean and comfortable with the exception that some do the tables need a better cleaning off. This is a place where you clean up after yourself. There isn't a large children's selection, but our daughter loved the grilled cheese. The pasta salad is almost too spiced up. I preferred her chips. The sandwiches are delicious! read more

While things may sometimes be a bit pricier here than some other bakeries, they absolutely make up for in quality of their bakes. All of their baked goods (cookies, cupcakes, muffins, etc.) are absolutely delicious and always stand out in my mind. The best thing about bountiful bread is the service, particularly from the front of house/cashiers. Always greeted with a smile and a helpful word, the two women who I see regularly on the weekends are absolutely a highlight. I would highly recommend this place to anyone who enjoys tasty baked goods, and a warm welcoming environment read more

Very good lunch. Took a little bit of time for preparation though. When you're on a half an hour lunch break it's tough if you don't order in advance. read more

Food was great but the quantity is too small. My sandwich was little and I was hungry after an hour of eating. $15.95 for a tuna spicy melt, the sandwich was not even spicy, there was a great pasta salad side, with red bell pepper and carrots, and a piece of pickle, yes for all that $15.95. I got 6 mini cup cakes with decorative frosting for 19 something dollars too. It was urgent that's why. Not returning there. However seems like a popular spot for meeting friends and quick lunch etc. big loud inside which is fine. read more

A major disappointment in terms of both the quality of food and service. At sixteen dollars a sandwich, the bad service and mediocre food are not worth it. I don't mind paying for good food and decent service, but here you leave feeling that you are taken advantage of. I ordered online, and when I went to pick up my order, I stood at the pick-up spot for a long time, while the staff continued to cash out new people in line without even recognizing me. I then looked for my order behind the counter - not there - had to go back to the kitchen counter, they sent me back to the checkout counter, where I had to continue to wait because the sandwich was not even made well after the promised pick up time. I finally found my order sitting on the counter near the kitchen; no employee bothered to help me. Once I got the "grilled" roast beef sandwich, it was cold, thin, and lacked flavor. read more

I gave Bountiful Bread four stars. I was disappointed to see the mediocre ratings on Yelp. I always thought the location at Stuyvesant Plaza looked so cool with all of the breads in the window. In my mind nothing sounds more delicious or wholesome as freshly baked bread. So I was looking forward to grabbing a quick meal there. When we stopped in for lunch the other day, surprisingly I chose the Power Bowl instead of a sandwich. Filled with veggies, steak and a fried egg, it hit the spot. I really enjoyed it even though I didn't meet my original goal. My husband, meanwhile, ordered the Southwest Roast Beef Sandwich. He said it was good. He ate half and took the other half home. It was a busy place at lunchtime. Service was okay. The ordering process was smooth and the staff in the open kitchen assembled the meals quickly. In terms of ambiance, the look is simple and functional. Just fine for a busy lunchtime crowd at a mall. read more

Bad service from cashiers end, order was taken wrong, friendly kitchen staff apologized. Bad communication on front end.

Cute sandwich shop in Stuyvesant Plaza. Service was friendly. We were sharing a turkey club and they were nice enough to split the sandwich between two plates. The iced tea was fine. The turkey lunchmeat was okay. read more

Leaves a lot to be desired. You feel like it's going to be so good... but it's overly priced nonsense. The place is dirty and the staff are more concerned with the latest gossip than helping customers. The entire dining room was filthy, food all over the tables and floor. Got two sandwhiches and 2 cookies... was $50 and all of it was subpar. Basically flavorless eggs sandwhich with ONE eggs.... There was nothing to the sandwich. All the coffee was empty and a staff member had to be asked a few times by two different guests to please refill them. This is my 3rd time trying bountiful bread and needless to say, won't be back. Not worth the money, the wait or the quality. read more

Ordered the salmon bowl. Not sure on what planet the chef thought salmon and pineapple go well together. I can't remember the last time I had two ingredients that were so dissonant. Either remove the salmon and add a nice slab of ham or sweet and sour pork, or take out that pineapple! Also, salmon was dry and cold, like it had been cooked in the morning. Would encourage rethinking this dish. read more

Came by Friday afternoon. Wasnt too busy. I got the cranberry chicken wrap with side of pasta salad. It was ready very quick upon ordering. Loved the slices of grapes in the wrap. Nothing crazy! Good place to get a quick lunch/breakfast. read more

My first time here. We had to clean are table on arrival. I had 1/2 turkey club and a cup of soup. Club was delicious and soup was good although it could have been warmer. Companion had 1/2tuna salad with cup of New England Clam Chowder. Sandwich was good, soup had weird taste but was edible. Restaurant very noisy and difficult to hold a conversation. Trays would be helpful to carry food to tables. Not sure about returning. read more

The food is always good. That's where the compliments end. For the number of staff working, the tables are often dirty. When I picked up my salad from the counter and got to our table I was turned off by the fingerprints of food all over the outside of the bowl. I thought it was just mine, until I saw another person in our party with the same mess on theirs. While I ate, I watched two other patrons return to the counter to have their order corrected. The manager wasn't doing a very good job managing. I could have gotten better service at Panera. read more

This place is exactly what it looks like and that's ok! Got breakfast here and the breakfast burritos were very good, also a very good portion. Service was good, exactly what you'd want from a counter service restaurant. You order at a counter then go and sit and someone from the kitchen calls your name when your order is up. Not sure how this place is only rated 3 stars on here. I guess the location attracts the kind of entitled person who nitpicks everything and empathizes with no one. Whenever I see I see someone review a restaurant 6 times and continue to update their rating I each time I immediately dismiss it, as it's such a red flag that the commenter just doesn't understand how this works. Yes, the experience at any restaurant of this type might vary slightly based on what staff is working on that day, you don't have to give a personal review of each and every staff members performance. read more

I rarely leave reviews for anything and I don't recall ever leaving a bad review for any establishment,HOWEVER- I visited Bountiful Bread on Sat 3/8. The young lady at the register was pleasant and took our order. Upon being called I retrieved our order, mine included a cup of the chicken potato soup and Mediterranean salad. The soup was not well seasoned but I added a bit of salt and only ate half of the cup. I then turned to the salad where as I opened the dressing and attempted to dip my fork in the dressing. The dressing was like a thick wallpaper paste. I went up to the front to just make sure of what I ordered and reviewed the description. I said to one of the workers may I ask you a question where upon she immediately said "I'm going on my break". I then said I just have a question, is the dressing supposed to be like this and she said oh goodness no. She then directed me to go to the kitchen area and request another dressing which I did. I go back to the table and I start again with the salad. Where upon I realize there is no chicken in the salad oookkk so I go back up to the kitchen and say this salad has no chicken in it. The 5 people just look at me. Finally one guy says "oh it has no chicken"? No I say as you can see it has no chicken. At this point I am completely flabbergasted and I say "may I have some chicken in my salad?" Finally a girl says here I can give you chicken. I go back to the table and I have never had such tasteless dry chicken in my life. I literally said to my husband I can't eat this. I am not certain who is training this staff but this experience was absolutely dreadful! To sum up -the food was trash and the staff couldn't care less. read more

We went here for lunch to meet a former roommate of mine. The portions are huge and you order them and they let you know when it is ready. The salads are very good. They all come with some type of bread.It is located in a shopping plaza so you can do some shopping while you wait for your lunch date to meet you! read more

This is their SW Roast Beef sandwich. I think there may be a slice & a 1/2 of meat on there.When ur tomato is almost thicker than ur meat, there's a problem, esp@$14. I used to LOVE this place but I'll won't ever go again. Employees All LAYING outside the bathroom area texting/talking;I thought I walked in on a really boring shift meeting. No paper towels in the bathroom, small black hair in my pasta salad & outdoor tables were dirty. Always a shame to see a bustling business go *this*down hill. read more

It seems like lately it's hard to find high-quality tasty soup in the capital region. I like getting some of the classics here at bountiful bread. I will say I think the portions of the soup, the sandwiches, and the salads are kind of small and are over priced for their size, but I have always been happy with my order so I would continue to order just not frequently because it is a little bit expensive read more

I hadn't been in for a meal in a couple years prior to a visit for dinner today and shesh was that a mistake. Particularly in light of what passes for a salad or sandwich at a lot of fast casual places these days Bountiful Bread is a breath of fresh air. Tons of options, tasty ingredients, reasonable portions & price...checked all the boxes in my book. The bread has always been fantastic and is surprisingly cheap. Cakes are also incredibly Instagram worthy and with the plethora of options you can surely conjure up something to please you and/or your guests. Don't let the 3 star rating dissuade you, check Bountiful Bread out for yourself. read more

On website, it states-- "Bountiful Bread is a scratch kitchen and bakery featuring a range of homemade items from specialty sandwiches, soups, salads and baked favorites." So true. Food is excellent, but I did not give it 5 Stars because of the seating area/dinner room. It is crowded and nothing special which would be nice to complement the quality food. Chairs were uncomfortable and most tables were occupied. The room could be set up more attractively with smaller tables. I had the Avocado Beet Toast (2 slices) which was delicious. I liked the flavors plus the crunch of the crusty fresh bread, and the pumpkin, sunflower, and sesame seeds. The pasta salad was flavorful. It cost $9.00 which was a reasonable price. Took one slice home. See my photo. My daughter had the specialty sandwich of the day which she loved. It was so filling in a good way; she took 1/2 home. ----"Sliced chicken breast, crisp bacon, cheddar, avocado, spinach, onion, and pesto mayo, all grilled to perfection on our multigrain bread. Served with a side of chips or pasta salad and a pickle." It was worth $13.00. Next visit, I will try one of the creative, amazing sounding salads. Or a pastry. Or a cupcake. Cakes displayed in case were beautifully decorated. Orders were taken at counter in an efficient, friendly manner. read more

Love love love the Thanksgiving style sandwich! Ingredients are fresh and the service is great.

Had a chicken pot pie and side salad. The food was plentiful and the service was quick. The pot pie was not as creamy as I would have liked. The crust was a bit chewy , but the flavor was good. The salad was well made and very fresh. I will certainly be back back to try other salads and sandwiches. read more

I used to love this place. Went with my daughter tonight and it was kind of lousy. My half sandwich had an off flavor. The Rachel. Kind of skimpy and almost like they set it on a cutting board with cleaner on it or something. My soup was ok. My daughter got a soup and breadstick that she thought was just ok. The dining room is kind of run down and dirty. I would maybe go back one more time for bread or something but even Panera is better. read more

Visited the restaurant today around lunch. The staff at the register need training on how to greet customers and how to understand their menu. She repeatedly ordered the incorrect food items for me (thank goodness I was reading the register). She did not know the menu especially when I said I had not visited the restaurant in the past. The food was disgusting and so not worth the price. Ordered a tuna sandwich with pasta salad. There was no pickle and the salad was literally dumped into the box. Why the hell is not in in a separate container. Never going here again or recommending it. The staff working at the food counter were constantly yawning with their mouths open all over the food. Gross. I blame management for hiring and then not training. read more

This place could also be called Bountiful Portions or Bountiful Taste. And if, after seeing the name of it, you've turned to walk away because you're watching your gluten and/or carbs, turn right back around - they have a nice assortment of salads and soups as well. And that first bite of soup was what has made me a fan. It was a daily special, a vegetarian chili soup with white beans and spinach. The flavor was richer than many meat-based chili's I've had. I was enjoying it so much, I finished half of it before remembering to take a photo. I also had a more basic sandwich, a BLT with Swiss cheese. This was also of a decent size and made well, very satisfying with the soup. This place has very easily moved near the top of the list for places I want to eat lunch in Albany! read more
