Delicious, relaxed lunch with my daughter. First time for her and second for me…read more The Mango Green Ice Tea was refreshing. We both ordered the Beef Sukiyaki and tossed salad. The tender moist beef slices on a roll were very good. The Ginger dressing on the salad was flavorful, and I wish I could buy it to elevate salads at home. We enjoyed the Red Bean Ice Cream which is creamy with tidbits of bean. Outstanding. Service was attentive, friendly, and efficient! Ambiance is relaxed which was welcome after shopping on Wolf Road. And the bucket chairs are so comfortable.

The tea was wonderful and our lunch items came quickly and were tasty. We asked to keep a menu, explaining we would like to get dessert after. Once we we received our lunch food, it quickly went downhill. We never saw our waitress again after that. My son finished his Boba tea and wanted another, but our waitress never came over to check on us. We sat for over 40 minutes after we recieved our initial order and not one waitstaff came over to ask if we wanted anything else, nor did they come over to give us the check. After giving up hope of dessert and more tea, we eventually went to the front counter to pay since we realized no one was coming to give us the bill. Normally, I would understand if it was understaffed or busy- yet the two parties next to us had waitstaff come over numerous times. We were literally ignored. We won't be back and I do not recommend.

I was never really a donut person, but when I tried their free donuts at the Albany Tree Lighting…read moreevent... they converted me. So much that I stopped by their shop on a late Sunday morning to a HUGE variety of donuts. They have vanilla based donuts in addition to cider donut. They've got vegan donuts and mishapen discount donuts. They also do too good to go as well as donate any left over donuts. I got the cappuccino and ginger cider donuts and a small coffee. I'll probably stick to their original as the glazes were a little too cakes on and sweet for my liking. Despite the sweetness, the ginger and coffee flavors did shine through... so for those who like sweet things -- this is amazing. In addition to donuts, they have hot apple cider and speciality coffee, tea and cider drinks! It's a cute space where I would love to sit at, drink some coffee and donuts with a book on a snowy morning.

I think they taste better putting in the microwave for a few seconds. They have all sorts of coffees too. They're open only from 7-1 everyday, and they can sell out of the popular donuts.

A long-time favorite, Bella Napoli is a true local gem…read more Sandwiches are fantastic, really scratches the itch for a good Italian mix. We love coming for breakfast, which is hot, fast, delicious, and reasonably priced (even these days). Home fries are to die for and their lattes are just as good as fancier spots in the area (and won't break the bank). Of course, you can't go to Bella Napoli without checking out their Italian pastries, cookies, and other baked goods. Our favorites include the turtle cheesecake, chocolate dipped cookies, cannolis and pasticchiotti. Danish, breads, and turnovers are also excellent. The service is always efficient and friendly. Can be tough to score a spot at the counter, but we always feel cozy and at home when we do.

Normally, I love Bella Napoli. They usually have amazing pastries, and their Valentine's Day…read moreselection looked especially tempting. I picked up two Valentine's Day cookies, a lobster tail, and two large cannolis--items I've enjoyed from them in the past. Unfortunately, this visit missed the mark. The lobster tail was soggy and lacked the crisp crunch I normally expect, and the cannolis were also soggy. That was especially disappointing because those are usually my favorites. The Valentine's Day cookies looked cute, but underneath the frosting they were dry and pretty flavorless. I really wanted to love everything, especially since I've had such great experiences here before, but this time the quality just wasn't there. I'm hoping this was just an off day, because I know how good Bella Napoli can be.

They were very flexible / accommodating with pickup day/time. Very delicious. Will order again and highly recommend! Thank you. Extremely satisfied and the birthday girl was very happy!

They also offer a discount with a 518 Foodies card, which can be purchased at 518foodies.com. Misses Kisses Pies does something that I've never seen another bakery do and that's offer a four flavor cheesecake! That's right -- four flavors on one cheesecake. It's insane! I ordered the chocolate peanut butter, strawberry crunch, banana pudding and Cinnamon Toast Crunch. I couldn't decide which flavor I liked best. They were all so delicious and the crust was heavenly. To order, visit MissesKissesPies.com and look over the menu before calling (518) 461-7324 with your order. Highly recommend!!

Wow! I waited over a week to visit this place because they were sold out of most of the desserts…read more They're so popular, and the owners take their time making new desserts. They have tea, but I wanted cheesecake. The cheesecake was excellent! You order online or at their kiosk inside. It's best to keep checking online to see if the desserts you want are in stock yet, if they aren't, they're listed as sold out. The ube cheesecake was creamy, sweet, with cream. The triple matcha cheesecake was very good, tasted like matcha, and best if you don't like dessert too sweet. Each piece of cake was around $10-11 would be nice if it was bigger, but it's great as it is because it's dense. It's so cute inside! Service is fast! Highly recommend!

Not only is the homemade ice cream top quality, it is delicious. In addition, they serve soft vanilla and soft chocolate, dole whip, homemade Italian Ice, and Frogurt. The numerous flavors of ice cream are rich and bold. They are described well on the menu. Portions are generous so you may want to size down. I like a "small" cone of the Toffee Heath Bar Crunch.
