The smoothie from here might have been slightly better tasting than the smoothies I ordered from the Latham location. Though the staff in Latham may have been a little more knowledgeable and friendly (not that they were bad here but the Latham spot had some really nice, friendly people).

This spot is a great quick stop for mornings…read more My wife and I stopped in a few days ago and ordered a smoothie bowl, a bagel, a smoothie, and a matcha. Overall, it was a pleasant experience. The matcha was absolutely delicious and clearly made with care -- prepared in a proper bowl and whisked with a bamboo whisk. I asked for a bit of honey, which really pulled the entire experience together. Honestly, I'd give this place a 5/5 based on the matcha alone. The smoothie bowl (I go the one that has banana, peanut butter, honey, and some other toppings) was great overall, though I did have one small complaint: there were a few large chunks of ice mixed in, and I accidentally bit into them. Aside from that, the bowl was flavorful and enjoyable. My wife ordered a smoothie, which was just okay. I didn't particularly care for it, and she unfortunately didn't end up finishing it. The service was excellent. The woman who took our order was very friendly and helpful, and she even recommended the matcha -- which turned out to be a great suggestion. One last note: we had visited this spot about a year ago, and it looks like the interior has completely changed since then. The new layout is bright and welcoming, no longer dark, and features a mostly gray palette with accent plants and furniture that bring everything together nicely. It feels much cozier than before.

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 they have some great lunch options also. Along with smoothies. Was greeted quickly and warmly by one of the employees. I needed a few minutes to figure out what I wanted because this was my first time there. I eventually landed on a smoked salmon power bowl and a berry smoothie. Bowl had avocado, hard-boiled egg, perfectly cooked, spinach and quinoa topped with smoked salmon. There was a nice basil sauce on each half of the hard-boiled egg. It was a warm bowl which I was not expecting so it did throw me off at first. I'm not sure if they make the smoked salmon themselves or if they buy it from somewhere. I will have to admit I was not too excited about the flavor of this smoked salmon. But overall, the bowl was delicious. And I thoroughly enjoyed the berry smoothie. One of the reasons why I picked this place is that they allow dogs. They do have outside seating, which unfortunately was not going to work on a rainy afternoon. So I took my food to go as my pup was waiting for me in the car. All of their containers are compostable. I am interested in returning so I can try more of their menu.

Everything I have gotten is delicious. Fresh fruit, granola,, you can add all kinds of stuff. You can build your own, you can get their craft specials. I am definitely eyeballing that pineapple coconut concoction available for the summer. I'm still learning about all the combinations but this place is so good. I could eat here every day. The staff is always friendly and willing to help with the abundance of delicious choices. I got a smoothie last week. I got a smoothie bowl this week. It had fresh strawberries fresh pineapple, walnuts, little dark chocolate drops, chocolate protein with almond milk. The base tastes like ice cream. I feel like I'm being bad but I'm not. Healthy eating is fun. I order on their app. It's easy and you earn points. They also have healthy treats for dogs that you can purchase.

We arrived after lunchtime so we avoided the rush. You order at the counter and take a seat. Staff will bring your order to the table when it's ready. Our order was ready in about 10-minutes. Nancy and my mom ordered the cup of New England Clam Chowder ($6) and I decided on one of their specials - the Chicken Florentine Quesadilla ($14) and a medium coffee. They had 6 different coffee varieties to choose from including decaf but there were only two regular options remaining and were running low. The chowder was hot and delicious. My quesadilla was also hot and had great flavor. The only thing they could have done better is grill the tortilla shell a little longer so that it's more crispy. It was more on the limp side, but still good regardless. The staff bake up a ton of muffins and other yummy looking baked goods daily. Although we didn't try any today I would definitely return to try them next time I'm back in the area. All-in-all, a great spot to stop for breakfast, lunch, or quick snack.

And they handle a line faster than some of the other places in Stuyvesant Plaza (think burgers and shakes). For a first meal here, I went with one of their bowls made without adjustments, so I'll have a better idea of what to tweak on future orders. It was about an hour before closing time, and I noticed that the greens were starting to look a little dry, perhaps not refreshed recently. You get a lot of rice. All of the ingredients blend well, though I wouldn't necessarily want as much sauce slathered on (something I can easily adjust). I was pleasantly surprised by the small, warm, soft pita I was given at the cashier. I do wish they had a few more unsweetened beverage options, all of their fountain drinks are sweetened. This is definitely one of the better options in the Plaza for a quick and healthy meal.
