Spot Coffee has been consistent since we arrived to New York. This was our nearest coffee stop as…read morewe hibernated in our airbnb when us Californians made the move to Upstate NY (what?! Crazy I know). However since we have been coming to SPOT we've never had an issue with our drinks, and the food is actually great! On top of everything else the staff are beyond friendly. My husband works right across the street and the barista who always works in the AM memorized his order (it's the small things that make a difference!). On top of that-their kitchen is not bad! I've had their chicken dumpling soup, sourdough breakfast Sammy's, and their turkey melts. However their BCE Bagel Sandwiches take the top prize. Idk what it is--but the toasted bagel sandwich comes piping hot every TIME and you get the perfect bite of CRISP, cheese pull, and bacon...the perfect AM treat. Inside you can expect your traditional coffee shop ambiance, however there are plenty of spaces to sit and lounge.

A pleasant cruise in the countryside and about 45 minutes later we arrived at this food cart in the driveway. There were only 1 couple ahead of us in line, and this gave us time to look over the menu board to see what they got. Chose about 8 or items and paid for it. People were nice and pleasant. Line started to build up behind us. All the donuts we had were great. Donuts were cold but it's cold outside. Tasted fresh. Filled donuts were filled all the way with tasty fillings. Overall flavors were on point. The one ham and cheese croissant was tasty once we warmed it up in the microwave at home. Really like the pistachios cream donut. Worth the trip. Probably can't do much of this though as I am sure donuts is not good for the diet but donuts do make me happy.

This review I should have done a LONG time ago. I started going to this coffee shop late 2023…read more After my first visit, I realized how good of a place this was. The breakfast food is incredible, typically by Tyler-- a great cook and Chef. The breakfast burrito is out of this world. (As for it Tyler's way!) the coffee and lattes are truly very high-quality, but not overly pretentious. And if you know, then you know, when a coffee shop does it up too much and their prices are astronomical. That is not this place, they balance it perfectly by having good quality beans, roasted perfectly good quality, food, and breakfast items that makes starting your day such a treat by coming here. And lastly, the kickstart name comes from the owner's being motorcycle enthusiasts. The inside decor has a really cool and funky vibe to it with really awesome artwork and even a motorcycle inside. If you're looking for coffee, shops, and decent breakfast, do not hesitate to stop here!

Incredible coffee in an incredible space! This cafe is a…read moretotal gem in the area. They offer so many delicious coffee and non-coffee drinks. Unfortunately, I can't speak to their food, but I do hope to return and try some soon. The motorcycle themed cafe is beautifully decorated and creates a space that you can comfortably work in or hang out with friends and family. It's warm, welcoming and inviting. I tried their Cinnamon Mocha Latte with almond milk and it was perfection in a cup. The staff is also super friendly and welcoming, and happy to answer any questions you have. I highly recommend Kickstart Cafe!

This is one of the oldest Stewart's Shops. I remember coming here as a kid with my family for their…read morethen-famous make-your-own-sundaes. These days, all that table space is gone in favor of food stations, though they can only do so much here, in a location where they'll probably never be able to sell gas. This morning, I was staying at a nearby hotel which, from past experience, I knew had a mediocre breakfast. My other options were familiar fast food restaurants that have breakfast options. I chose Stewart's because I knew everything would be fresher. The breakfast sandwiches here are pre-made earlier in the morning but kept warm. But you know you're getting real meats and eggs on fresh breads. Their coffee is better than the hotel's and stronger than Dunkin's. Beyond that, it's all the Stewart's products you've come to know and enjoy.

Disappointments happen. This is a precept of the human experience. Especially when it comes to the…read morepursuit of a good café. So it went, you see, in Saratoga Springs yesterday. Uncommon Grounds had all the makings of a fine sit n' sip: high ceilings, superfluous interior arches, mildly darkened aesthetic, tin ceiling tiles, and an abundance of screamin' local artistry dressing up the joint. Brothers and sisters... I was stoked about the possibility of churning out some real Aldi-grade literature at one of the chunky timber perches. I was ready for a slammin cup of joe and a sick-ish vibe. Alas, all I got from behind the counter was a jersey stuffed with caustic disdain and affected arrogance. It was impressive in that the tone, delivery, volume and words were all brilliantly matched in conveying unmistakable I-wish-you'd-get-the-flip-outta-my-space-clappery. I know the exact phrasing and such would go a long way here, but the whole dang affected setup I received from the other side of the counter would be hella exhausting to recount. And not worth my time. To be clear, my time really ain't worth all that much. Now I could go on to tell you about the rest of the experience, the quality of the bagels and the consistency of the schmear, and the tones you'll find playing throughout the house-roasted brews. But as a journeyman writer in the café world, I'm not gonna waste any more descriptors on the brat-infused tea steeping at the front of house. Why? Simply because cafés are more than the drink and grub. Cafés are as solid an offering of what culture Earth has to offer across its varied continents, countries, and street corners. They are something to engage with and experience directly. Like riding a scooter across Vietnam. Like a Moroccan food market. Like wiping volcanic ash off your hiking boots after a day's hike in Cinder Cone. If the human engagement of the place is reprehensible, then in IMHO the treats and steeps don't matter. Disappointments happen. That's for sure. But I'm only gonna spend two more sentences telling you what you probably already gathered about this place. It's slippin' baby. It's slippin'.

First time visitor to Broadway Coffee! Somebody highly recommended this shop to me!…read more I decided to try one of their current specials, a Tokyo Fog! This drink is akin to a London Fog latte but is made with Matcha, Earl Grey, and Honey cold foam. It tastes good! My four-star rating is because I absolutely love Bergamot and wish there were a stronger Bergamot flavor. The matcha could also be more strongly flavored. I ordered an iced Tokyo fog, and it was ready super quickly. The inside of Broadway Coffee is so unique, adorable, and inviting. Next time we visit, I want to stay to have my drink there. Looking forward to trying more of their special menu items!
