    What's left of the awesome latte.
    Pauline L.

    This is the first Starbucks I've ever reviewed in NY. It is the only stand alone Starbucks that I'm aware of the Capital Region. It deserves a review because it can be best described in a number of superlatives. For starters, it is the friendliest Starbucks in the region. We received a warm welcome from the staff as soon as we walked through the door. We were also greeted by the delicious aroma of freshly brewed coffee. This business has the nicest layout and decor of any locally. The latte is the best. Most Starbucks lattes are a tad bitter. Not here. I ordered a breakfast wrap with egg white, spinach and feta cheese which I also enjoyed. It's easy to see why this may be the busiest Starbucks in the area. The drive thru had a steady stream of breakfast traffic. There was also a number of socially distant customers lined up inside. The wait wasn't very long.

    Starbucks reviews are about customers service solely, because all the locations are pretty much the same. I love the East Greenbush location. The employees seem to just enjoy their job, never an eye roll for special requests and everything is always hot. The restaurant is kept clean and stocked. Now let's get to the good stuff, if you haven't tried the cherry mocha you must! It reminds me of chocolate covered strawberries in hot coco form with that kick of caffeine all (okay most) of us need.

    This location is larger than the North Greenbush Starbucks. There is plenty of seating, a great place to hang out and read a book or do some studying. There is also counter seating, low tables, cozy chairs, and nice lighting. So thrilled this is now a Starbucks icky, gross KFC. I will definitely come back the next time I am in town visiting my family.

    Love Starbucks. It's the best. Great coffee, black shaken iced tea with or without lemon, sweetened or not. It's a great classy place to relax and cheaper than that other place. DD if you know what I mean. The side items are good as well. Love it.

    Super yummy passion tea lemonade!

    It's Starbucks, you know the menu. The staff here is very friendly. They are very good at making the beverages (putting the right amounts of syrups and stuff in each drink). Lots of seating, the place is clean. Staff is fast and courteous.

    All Starbucks are overpriced but this one sits awkwardly at the end of a strip mail parking lot making the it really hard to get in and out.

    Excellent service by friendly waitress and was very cute and clean inside. Was priced high at $50…read morefor 2 lunches (sandwiches)

    Let me begin by mentioning that I am a degreed chef, I worked for 12 years as a flight attendant…read moreand Purser for Pan American World Airways, almost always working the First Class Galley, I have chaired many Tea Gatherings for my local CT Church and entertain frequently by serving an authentic English Tea to friends and family. I have earned and wear with pride my nickname of "The Tea Lady". I have taken Tea Ceremony classes in Tokyo Japan and have enjoyed afternoon tea service at 5 star properties from Manhattan (The Russian Tea Room) to Dacca in Bangladesh. I have enjoyed Tea at The Churchill Hotel in London, The Breakers Hotel under their hand painted ceiling and most recently I reveled in a cherry blossomed Tea Room in Edinburgh at the famous Palm Court of the Balmoral Hotel second only to the Palm Court at The Plaza in NYC. I say this only to provide context to what I am about to say concerning a tea spot in East Greenbush which until recently was one of my favorite upstate NY places to have Tea and escape for a few minutes from our bustling, noisy, distracting world. Just last week I invited a friend to come to tea and lunch with me since we had not seen each other in a very long time and she had had surgery a short time ago. I called Roots at 1PM and asked if their tea service could be ordered for one hour hence. I was told: "Oh no that takes 3 hours to prepare, sorry you can't order Tea now". So I settled on lunch and made an appt for 2PM. (they advertise that they are open until 3PM.) We arrived on the dot of 2, only to be reminded that they close down the kitchen at 2:30 so we should order pretty fast, in addition the kitchen was 112 degrees and the cook wanted to be out of there! We ordered and the meals came out very fast but not before we were asked 3 times by the very loud and frankly intrusive server "were our drinks ok?", "did we want to order NOW", and again, how are your drinks?" My friend and I were talking in a very soft lady-like manner and this person's tenor and intrusions into our conversation was very un-welcomed. My sandwich had mustard slathered on it, so much that I had to wipe it clean in order to eat. My tea had been served w/o the milk I requested and w/o benefit of a spoon with which to stir it when I finally was given the milk. Thereafter there followed an annoying uninvited "visit" by our server approx 4 more times to interrupt the important conversation I was trying to have with my guest. When the cook came out and pulled the money out of the register, and when the server yelled across the large room to someone who had entered the front door, over our heads, I asked my guest: "what time is it?" "2:30" she answered, we were being told it was time to leave in no uncertain terms before the close of their published business day! Then the coup de grace... the lights were turned off! Frankly I was surprised that the vacuum cleaner was not also engaged at that exact time. I stood up and said " Well I gather we are being told to leave?" No answer from either the cook or the server. I asked for the check and shared with the server ( in a very calm demeanor) how she had broken every rule of gracious dining in the 45 minutes that we had been their "guests". I left but not without leaving a generous tip even though she told me since we had had such a negative experience that I did not need to leave a tip. After all it is not her fault that her employer has not trained her in the finer points of hospitality...which is by definition "the friendly reception and treatment of guests or strangers". We were neither treated or received in a friendly manner. I left saying: "Goodbye for now and forever". I went home dreaming of the next time I would be at The Reading Room Cafe in Cos Cob, Greenwich where the customer is treated with the most gracious hospitality ...even if I were to arrive just before closing time at 5PM. Instead of leaving the world behind for one hour we were instead bombarded by the world outside being inside Roots... noisy, distracting and utterly w/o even the semblance of good manners and dining etiquette. Sadly and Sincerely, Mary Howard

    Albany is the 338th largest city in the US. Jacob Alejandro would be right at home in some of the…read morelargest cities! The vibe is impeccable, truly comfortable and well designed! 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!

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.
