Really love this place but they are literally never open. They treat this place like a hobby and…read morenot a real business. The inconsistent hours are so irksome and disruptive. And the reasoning for being closed is always "short handed". Why don't any of your staff stay? As a business owner myself, I'm literally shocked that this place has existed this long. Which sucks because where else can I get a vegan breakfast sandwich? (Also, the owner left a condescending response on my Google review so definitely doubling down)

We arrived after lunchtime so we avoided the rush. You order at the counter and take a seat. Staff will bring your order to the table when it's ready. Our order was ready in about 10-minutes. Nancy and my mom ordered the cup of New England Clam Chowder ($6) and I decided on one of their specials - the Chicken Florentine Quesadilla ($14) and a medium coffee. They had 6 different coffee varieties to choose from including decaf but there were only two regular options remaining and were running low. The chowder was hot and delicious. My quesadilla was also hot and had great flavor. The only thing they could have done better is grill the tortilla shell a little longer so that it's more crispy. It was more on the limp side, but still good regardless. The staff bake up a ton of muffins and other yummy looking baked goods daily. Although we didn't try any today I would definitely return to try them next time I'm back in the area. All-in-all, a great spot to stop for breakfast, lunch, or quick snack.

The staff were professional, pleasant, and coffee/tea focused! My wife enjoyed a black tea chai latte and I loved the reserve pour over coffee experience! I order pour over pretty much every time it's available at a coffee shop. Jacob Alejandro's pour over service is pretty much ceremonial! They serve it on a tray. The tray has the "pitcher", a glass for service, and a glass of palate cleansing jade tea in the middle. (I did have to ask what the jade tea was) The palate cleanse was the perfect start. The Costa Rican coffee was heavenly, one of those drinking experiences where even my amateur palate was engaged. It was truly nice to sit for a while and enjoy a great cup of coffee at Jacob Alejandro! Yes, they would fit in a larger city but smaller cities deserve great coffee also!

After going on a lovely walk through Albany's Washington Park on Easter Sunday, I noticed some…read moreactivity across the street at Jacob Alejandro. I was so surprised. Could they really be open on Easter Sunday? It seemed too good to be true. A great cup of caffeine was just what I needed at that very moment. So my friend and I crossed Madison Avenue and peeked into the tinted windows. Not only were they open, but the place was bustling. The inside of Jacob Alejandro is elegant and beautifully decorated. Furniture, plants, music and wall art are arranged to set moods. It feels more like a club than a coffee house. The baristas are super friendly, helpful and patient. As I tried to make up my mind on what to order, they offered suggestions. I wound up with matcha. I think my friend had some kind of latte. I remember both beverages were delicious. They were made to be savored slowly. We took in our surroundings and it was very relaxing. We'll visit again. Thanks Jacob Alejandro for a nice experience.

Short young woman with a high bun as the cashier just on her phone, walk up to her with the item and your money automatically scan take money, give change. Was getting a milkshake for my boyfriend and then going to get one for myself then she cut me off. Second woman behind the counter doing the icecream, 8 minutes to make a milkshake? Seriously? I wasn't the only one treated like I wasn't even there every person after me was pretty much ignored and if they weren't she had heck of an attitude if she had to do more than scan and exchange $. Yea, people have bad days but you're on the job do your job and don't act like your customers are the inconvenience. You should be scooping the icecream so the lady who at least looked happier despite her slow pace could work the register.
