This lounge is perfectly designed and reflects a traditional cigar ambience. This is definitely what a cigar lounge is meant to be. My wife and I were in from Katy Texas and we enjoyed our Cigar experience. Really can't say enough great things about this establishment and owner. If you are in the Albany area and a Cigar lover, there is no other place to be. My daughter is in college here and we will definitely frequent The Walton Room when we are in town. I wish I could give them more than 5 Stars, Great Experience and thanks for being so welcoming to us.....

There's a variety of seating (including some cool very tall-backed chairs), which is a nice change of pace. There's a small menu, drinks, and coffee/sweets. The service is super cheery and prompt. The food is a bit middle of the road and humdrum, and our "hot" beverages were tepid at best. I recommend getting a drink over getting coffee, all things being equal. We'll see if it survives the closing of the Van Gogh Experience, but it's easy to see how with the right management, and maybe a slightly gussied up menu, this could become a destination and not just a stop-off.

The menu is pretty small and straight forward! We were most impressed by the shrimp dip and were super disappointed by the roasted garlic bulb. The latter was sooo difficult to eat and was mostly just a pretty presentation/plate. We shared a pizza and a pasta and I only tried the feta shrimp pasta dish which was good not great. It was super busy so we weren't upset that our server mixed up our pizza order- but unfortunately it came out so late after ordering that we didn't have time to wait for it to be corrected before our show time. Mainly lost stars because the server offered to comp the pie (she brought a meatball pie and I don't eat red meat), but didn't and when we asked it still wasn't corrected

It was by sheer fate that I found myself sitting in this coffee shop twice in two days. That never…read morehappens. Not even at my favorite coffee places. Sigh. 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.
