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.

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!

Acai bowls are also great. I have tried both iced and hot coffees as well as matcha. They are solid but nothing too stand out in terms of drinks.

The only reason it did not get five stars is the somewhat limited menu.

Ordered the BrEGGY X Sammy Local Buns + 2 Farm Eggys + White Cheddar + Avocado + Pesto+ Pink Salt The "local bun" was a version of a common white blah hamburger roll. Toasting was not an option, or it was not offered. The "Sammy" did not taste good because the eggs had bits of shell, the avocado was very soft, and the pesto made the roll soggy. Did not taste the salt, and pepper would have improved the flavor. Ate only half. Ambiance: 2 stars Seating: Mostly high top tables with metal chairs Few low round wooden tables with childlike stools (photo) A long concrete bench along one wall (photo) --One look and I regretted not ordering takeout.

There is a seating area in their space and more seating in the food hall. I placed an online order for takeout recently. I ordered the Feta & Cheddar Omelet ($6.50 plus tax) and and a Berry Delicious Oatmeal ($9.50 plus tax). However, when I walked into the eatery, I was informed they didn;t have oatmeal and asked me to make a substitute. I requested a Pastrami Sandwich as a substitute and they upcharged my online order $2.16 with tax. Anyways, my order was ready 7 minutes after making the substitution. I enjoyed my food out in the hall. The omelet was folded with onions, peppers, tomatoes, topped with feta & cheddar cheeses. I enjoyed this tasty omelet. The thick Pastrami Sandwich had thin slices of pastrami, kraut, and a spiced mustard spread on a toasted kaiser roll. My food overall was pretty good. Hopefully next time they will have oatmeal to go with one of their breakfast sandwiches.

Received burnt eggs on my pad Thai that where so burnt they where black and inedible.

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!
