After all, it's not a Buc-ees. ;-) I have stopped at Stewart's Shops to fill up with gas, coffee and something to nibble on in multiple places when I am in their part of the country and I suspect I will continue to do so each time I encounter a location in the future.

I came to Tony's referred there by a local business from over 40 miles away. I had been quoted…read morebetween $2,000 and $3,000 by two other national brand services for repair/replacement of a considerable portion of my exhaust system. Tony not only repaired the source of my exhaust leak but also replaced another item that was in the process of failing ..... for under $400. Guess where I'm going the next time I have a problem? And they're nice people, too!

I unexpectedly had to replace all four tires on my "Mazdarati". The tire shop personnel confirmed…read morethe car also had small pinholes in the exhaust near the catalytic converter. Having already spent $1.2 K on tires and a 4 wheel alignment, I had to start hunting for a way to save on this next repair. Enter Tony's Broadway Auto Repair. I drove to the shop without an appointment and asked if they could fit me in sometime. After describing what was wrong with the vehicle, they said they could get me in today. Heck, yeah, I'll wait. Repairs (cutting and replacing a portion of the exhaust pipe) were made at a reasonable price. The car was so quiet afterwards, I almost restarted it, thinking it wasn't running. Anyway, a trusted mechanic, that's hard to come by these days. Judging by how busy the shop is, a lot of people appreciate this family owned business as well.

But what brought me here wasn't the coffee, but rather the location. This is the coffee shop in the lobby of Proctor's. It's a great meeting spot in downtown Schenectady, because it's large, has comfortable seating, and free wifi. Of course, there's coffee. Which helps. And the coffee is just fine. They have a dark roast, and a house roast. The house is a blend of Ethiopian and Columbian beans. A medium costs $2.16 and it's unimpeachable. Better than the convenience store. Better than the national donut chain. Maybe that makes it even good. They also have a decaf and a flavored coffee. The very presence of flavored coffee gives me a sense of what kind of coffee shop Apostrophe is trying to be. And that's a shop for people who don't really like the taste of coffee. I'm a hard grader when it comes to coffee places. I really want all coffee shops to offer great coffee and well made espresso drinks. Perhaps, there is something at this shop that makes it a standout. But I've yet to find it. Given Apostrophe's convenient location, I'll most certainly be back. But it does seem like there's a lost opportunity to use this location inside Schenectady's great theater, to sell coffee that's as fine as its surroundings. Especially since the people who pass through during performances, surely enjoy the finer things in life.

Apostrophe has done some upgrades recently, in both the layout and the menu, and it's definitely an…read moreimprovement. The chilled food is no longer glacially frozen, and the prefab sandwiches have some flavor and haven't been stale. The coffee situation is still mezzo mezzo, and the hot options are a little hit or miss. All that said, we are back to patronizing it when at the Proctor's arcade and are feeling in the need of a pick me up and are too lazy to walk over to Jay Street, but I still wouldn't categorize it as a destination.
