    I pretty much categorically refuse to get espresso based beverages from a Starbucks. I know that is very closed minded of me, because more than anything the quality of an espresso has to do with the person coaxing it from the machine than the machine itself. Still, most times I'm not quite willing to take that leap of faith. That is why Starbucks for me has been relegated to the world of brewed coffee. And in a world where you only have Dunkin' Donuts and Starbucks to choose between, I'll chose Starbucks EVERY SINGLE TIME. Seriously I can barely drink the swill they brew at DD. "What world would this be?" you may ask. The world of drive through coffee. Yes, I want to sit down and savor my coffee from a ceramic cup, breathing in the heady aromas wafting up under my nose. I would like to consider the coffee itself, its flavor and its body, and ponder those depths at my leisure. But dammit, sometimes I'm just tired, and I need a pick me up. And I need coffee now. And I will drink it from a paper cup. And I will drink it through a plastic lid. For those times, this Starbucks with its drive through window is the bees knees.

    Always great service here! Well made drinks all the time. I feel very welcome here. The toasted coconut is a great addition.

    Cafe closed way before official closing time. Drive through only, but would serve only with a car. Snarky employee.

    5 stars because it's the only Starbucks for miles. They have outdoor seating that is literally in the parking lot.

    I'm a regular visitor to the Capital District and this is by far the friendliest Starbucks I have EVER been to anywhere.

    On a Sunday morning at 10 the pastry case was empty. Completely empty. The drinks--both hot--while…read moretasty, were lukewarm. Cute decor but probably not a place I'd go out of my way to frequent. Maybe in the summer when the market is outdoors it would be a better experience.

    A new coffee shop opened recently on Union St. in Schenectady. I stopped by this morning after…read morehearing a rave review from a neighbor, and it managed to exceed the expectations I had formed. Prices are average and not high for the quality. It is located in a community setting on a section of Union Street below Union College. I ordered a fall special beverage -- Pumpkin Spice Horchata Cold Brew $6.75 with Almond Milk It is a "Signature blend cold brew, ps, horchata, choice of milk, cold foam, dash of pumpkin spice (iced)" The weather is still warm enough to enjoy a cold brew! The sweets available looked great, so it was hard to select. I chose a Blueberry Scone for myself and a Danish for my husband. The scone was crumbly, buttery tasting, and full of blueberries. The Danish was flaky and so freshly made. Both delicious treats were packaged nicely for takeout. Service is friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. The owner was present and gracious. The menu will change with the seasons. Nice tables. Creative decor. Easy to read menu was posted. Sweets are visible in a glass case. At 518 Coffee Bar, customers can enjoy a cozy atmosphere to catch up/visit over a handcrafted quality beverage.
