    I walked in and the place was both sterile and quiet. I ordered a large iced matcha with oatmilk…read moreand the barista seemed to be unhappy with that. As she prepared my drink, she kept mumbling under her breath. She then handed back a not filled to the top matcha and said that she was out of her regular larges, whatever that means. Although I hadn't asked for sugar, she added some anyway. After walking in the city on a hot day for a couple of hours, I didn't complain, especially since she was acting strange. Then lo and behold, I realized I was alone. There were three other patrons who had left. So did the barista. I found the "closed" sign at the counter. Thankfully, for some reason, the front door had been left open. I searched for a napkin before I departed but couldn't find one anywhere. Weird experience and the matcha was only "okay."

    I needed a cold brew fix while I stayed in downtown Albany. With no Starbucks to be found, I found…read morea spot around the corner from the Renaissance where I was staying. The cold brew was alright but the food menu for breakfast sandwiches didn't look to interesting nor the baked goods so I opted against that. The interior was clean with plenty of tables to sit and enjoy your joe. It works well if you are working nearby at the state capital or one of the surrounding businesses and need something fast for caffeine.

    Very friendly staff. Slightly better than average coffee and tea. For a coffee shop it doesn't…read moreexactly have a large variety. The coffee was good but not much better than what I can make at home which was not what I was expecting for a coffee roaster. I also tried their RED ROOIBOS TEA. It reminds me of a very strong hibiscus. Too floral for me. I do love their environmentally friendly to go cups. The shop is very unique. Very much a gypsy vibe. Like a fusion of an abstract art exhibit meets a hippy college dorm room, meets a cafeteria, meets a bazaar. It is collaborated with a few businesses ("The Urban Food Brood"-"Corsello Butchery"- "Happy Man"-Forest Doe Botanicals"-"Nosh Restaurant & Cafe"). A very supportive community. The seating is very cozy but awkward. Great place to meet up with friends or make new friend. They also have cold brewed canned coffee with unique flavors as well. All in all. Not too shabby my friends.

Recently been dealing with a lot so when I knew I'd have a few hours to myself; I went out for a run and came here afterwards. I just sat outside with my coffee, it was nice and quiet, nobody bothered me. The interesting thing about this place is that it's more than just coffee, they have other little kiosks. Some sell food, some sell homemade goods like candles, lotions etc. It really is a place I'll come to again, and again.
