My boyfriend and I came in earlier today and everything from the service to the drinks was amazing. Our server (whose name I didn't catch, my apologies) was so kind and sweet. She even gave us good input for what to order since it was our first time in there and she had so much patience as well. I ordered a vanilla matcha and matcha isn't something I enjoyed my first time trying it however, it was just the perfect amount of sweetness and didn't taste too grassy like other places. My boyfriend ordered a mocha iced coffee and cinnamon bun, usually he gets cream and sugar as well however she kindly informed us that the syrups itself was sweet enough and he didn't need it to which she was absolutely right. The cinnamon bun was delicious as well :))) This place was so cozy and cute, definitely would recommend if you're looking for a small place to enjoy good coffee and pastries. I don't know what it was but the coffee here was just perfect! I'm glad I found this place and I surely will be returning next time I'm in the area. They had lots of good books and vintage stuff as well. 5/5 most def! read more

I stopped in on the advice of a neighboring store and the exclamation that they had the best cinnamon rolls, ever! When I asked the barista for a recommendation she said the cinnamon brown sugar latte was popular, so I chose that. They only had day old cinnamon rolls or raspberry bars, so I went with the cinnamon roll. It was ooookkaaaaay. Nothing too great & maybe that's because it was day old (and reheated). The latte was super yummy though and I'd return for that if I'm in the area. Very unassuming store with little decoration but decent seating areas. read more

I am going to glad I was able to visit this place!

Came here for coffee and a breakfast meeting. I'd already had breakfast but everything looked so good. I settled on a veggie breakfast pocket and would gladly go back for more. I also got a nutella flavored latte which had good flavor but wasn't specifically nutella to me. The book sales inside the building had a wide variety of very cheap books and the staff won't bother you if you're working while eating/drinking. read more

I've been watching as Storied's flagship location has grown and adjusted to fit the community needs and keep A+ standards with COVID19 regulations over the year. The owners and staff at Storied continue to impress time and time again with not only their flexibility to the changes, but also the communication to their customers on what is happening. Thank you, Storied for keeping us all informed for your space. It is not hard to find a review for Storied on Yelp or an Instagram post from a customer who loves their bakery and beverage offerings, and while I agree they knock it out of the park in terms of flavor, quality, and super reasonable pricing, I personally dig Storied for a BONUS reason. I LOVE having a spot on the main street of Scotia that highlights other local small businesses with their collaborations (Peppermint Mocha scented soap from Sweet Spings Soaps and candles from Bittersweeet Candle Co. for the holidays? YES PLEASE!) and other features in the Curated Corner shelving aread in the store. I am grateful for the variety they have featured over time; it has fit nicely with my gift giving for all sorts of situations. read more

Storied Coffee is new, and they are doing things right. More importantly, they are headed in the right direction. It's going to be interesting to watch this small shop grow. And grow it shall, because it feels like this little spot in Scotia is starting to attract a crowd. I love good coffee, and Storied Coffee makes it the way I like. One of my pet peeves about even better coffee shops is how the espresso machine is set up so customers cannot view their shots being pulled. It's far too common a sight, and it robs the coffee lover of both the beauty of watching the crema cascade out of the portafilter, in addition to the knowledge of whether the shot was well made even before taking the first sip. Storied Coffee has their machine set up in full view of the ordering counter, and they've got their coffee dialed in. There is still a little bit of work needed to get up to that fifth star, but that will come when ceramic cups arrive, and the little flourishes like latte art come off as effortlessly as expressing their passion for coffee. This duo loves coffee, and it shows. Apparently the boba tea is also excellent, and I look forward to exploring more of the menu as time goes on. I was also offered a taste of a coffee curiosity called Elixir Specialty Coffee. It's sold in bottles, and it isn't cheap. But it looks like a fun thing to try. Unfortunately, I had to leave and didn't get a chance. Looks like I'll have to come back! WiFi works great. There are small tables up front, a couple of big ones in the back. There are seats set up on the sidewalk for nice days. The bathroom is clean. Vegan and gluten free treats are kept on hand for those who need them. And I'm told those ceramic cups are on the way! Great coffee places need time to grow, and a supportive community to nurture them along the way. Storied Coffee has all the ingredients it needs to be the five star coffee spot that could put Scotia on the map. Ten years ago, it would already have been the best coffee spot in the Capital Region. These days, we're lucky to have a lot of great places for a good cappuccino. But for now, this is my favorite spot for coffee in Schenectady county. Bravo to Christine and Rich for this labor of love. read more

Storied Coffee & Milk Teas - Cappuccino. Real cups are coming soon. - Bubble Tea Near Me - Scotia, New York

Cute spot. Moderate prices. Clean. Friendly service. No parking lot or parking on the street but can go across the street to park in the community lot. Cinnabons looked delicious, ordered 2. Asked for them to be warmed but was told "they probably still Are". They were cold. Very heavy on the cream cheese frosting and unfortunately mine was burnt (crunching on the bread until I got ate the outside) but the other was cooked great. They were heavy and we were unable to finish them. We ended up taking them home and heating them up in the air fryer and it was perfection. Ordered caramel latte but they were out of caramel, got hazelnut. My boyfriend enjoyed it. Unfortunately they messed up the first order and made it iced. They then made a hot so a little more time waiting. Ordered a cold brew with cinnamon sugar and splash of half of half and used real cinnamon sugar mixture which was a nice touch. Tasted good. Both coffees were on the smaller size side. Cost about $20 with tip. read more

This is a lovely place. This area needs neighborhood coffee shops like this. Perfect for picking up an order or hanging around by yourself or with a few friends. I've been many times and am always glad to see the shop bustling with other patrons. There's a good amount of seating inside and a few benches/tables outside. I'm a tea drinker and all the teas I've gotten here have been delicious. They offer a variety of teas outside of the typical shop that have me coming back for more. I hope others continue to order them as well so that they remain on the menu! My favorite drinks: Cherry Blossom Milk Tea (my absolute new favorite flavor), Black Milk Tea, Thai Iced Tea, and Sparkling Cherry Blossom Limeade. As far as food, I've gotten their breakfast sandwiches and bagels, chicken salad sandwich, and donuts from Cider Belly in Albany. Two thumbs up for all. One new addition that I hope they keep: homemade cinnamon rolls! Trust me, they are to die for. I have started ordering takeout via the Cloosiv app (app for ordering ahead from local coffee shops). It's super easy and a great way to support local businesses, especially during this covid time. An employee brought my order to my car. read more

Two friends and I stopped by Storied Coffee after seeing a movie in Scotia ("The Lost City" - Meh). It's a small café with friendly ownership (say hi to Rich), and excellent coffee. It was late in the day, so their baked goods were few and far between. They had a good gluten-free blueberry muffin. The coffee was excellent. And, it's small but has a relaxing atmosphere. Some music, but not too loud. (Thank you). read more

Storied Coffee & Milk Teas - Friendly, low key and good coffee. A small town, comfortable place to meet and talk in Scotia, NY - Bubble Tea Near Me - Scotia, New York

I had a fantastic NY Maple Tea (made hot) per my request. Just a bit sweet but not overpowering. I also tried a hot mocha to go. I can tell they use good quality products by the flavor profile. The owner Rick and his wife are very nice and accommodating. Rick offered some great suggestions for drinks. I'm more inclined to like a product a person strongly backs and believes in. They clearly are passionate about their teas and coffee here! The cafe is very nice and inviting with warm wood accents and flooring. I appreciated the aesthetics. There is plenty of seating in the back room for those who want to meet up with friends or stay to catch up on work. Thank you providing some options for customers to dine in during these social-distancing times! One of these days I will be back in to try the Boba tea and snacks they offer! Keep up the great work guys! read more

Amazing coffee. It takes a while to be made and the sizes are small, but the quality is unbelievable. They have a nice selection of vegan and local baked goods including cider belly doughnuts and gluten free options. The breakfast bombs are huge and the owners are so incredibly nice and helpful. Don't expect fast coffee, but expect quality. read more

Stopped in after passing the cafe driving through Scotia. Rich is the kind, courteous, and talented barista. I tried the cold brew latte and the breakfast sandwich. Both were delicious! Relaxing atmosphere surrounded by books. Highly recommend. read more

This is by far the best coffee house I've been to. They have great drink selections and a ton of delicious pastries/baked goods brought in from top notch bakeries like Alexander's bakery, Cider belly doughnuts, and Manhattan bagels. You really can't go wrong with anything on the menu. The Boba tea is legit and the breakfast bombs are fantastic. Bacon/egg/cheese or just egg/cheese baked inside a biscuit shell. This is definitely my new favorite spot. read more

So excited to have a place like this in our area! It is still very new so you can tell they are settling in. It was busy and they handled it great! The space is good - decent amount of seating and it looks like they are setting it up so you can sit outside as well. The dirty chia was great, not too sweet and perfect temperature. The milky oolong tea was SO good. My husband drinks oolong almost every day and it said it was the best he's had. The menu is small but we saw bagels, muffins, cookies and cinnamon rolls in the case. I got a chocolate raspberry muffin and they offered to heat it up for me which was awesome. We also got the breakfast bomb which looked small but it was filling. It's like a breakfast sandwich IN a flaky biscuit. The owners were very nice and you can tell they are happy to be there. Excited to see what they do with the space. read more

This was my first time here. I've seen a lot of good reviews, so I wanted to try it. I tried the boba tea. The bobs was a little undercooked as it had a chewier texture to it. The tea was okay, it was probably half tea and half milk. A lot "milkier" than I am use to for it being a milk tea. They were running low on the tapioca Pearl boba, and I was asked if it was ok to have half the amount. As it was what I came in for, I said that was fine. I was not expecting to still pay full price for it. For it being $6 a tea, I was expecting more. I would not come back here for boba tea as there are better options in the area and I think they missed the mark. They do have coffee and food, which may be good. The person working behind the counter was friendly. Service was a little slower. I didn't think it was well marked as I drove by it and had to walk back to try finding it after finding street parking. read more

Go here. This is a small independent coffee shop of deliciousness. I came for the boba tea (which was EXCELLENT; I got the black tea with lychee jellies and would 10/10 recommend to a friend), and stayed to read a book at a window table and chat with the notably friendly owner, who was working the counter. There is the standard coffee menu one might expect (espresso drinks, drip coffee, etc) and a shockingly extensive tea menu, even leaving the boba tea aside (which...why would you?) Plenty of seating to kick back for a while, and cute local gifts and coffee gear for sale. You want to come here. I know it, even if you don't. read more

Cute space good coffee but TOO SLOW. Seriously way too long even for custom brewing time etc.

This place is exactly what Schenectady needs! I bought my house in the village of Scotia because I loved the cute downtown. Storied coffee has added to that cuteness! We absolutely needed a place just like SC. The inside is adorable; fresh, homemade bakery items, cinnamon rolls to die for (apparently... Never had one yet because they're always sold out! You can even order them days ahead and in trays for holidays!), perfect coffee, amazing espresso (not burnt or bitter, almost sweet like European espresso), and outstanding service! They support other local business by featuring their products (other bakery items, dairy products, homemade goods) and they support other Scotia businesses! We couldn't ask for a better coffee shop. FYI download the app Cloosiv to order ahead for takeout/pickup! read more

Such a great coffee shop. If you are looking to support a local business instead of the big coffee chains, I suggest this one. The coffee and teas are made with such care and the baked goods are amazing!! Great spot to grab and go, or do some work for a few hours read more

Yay for new coffee shops! Also yay for not another Starbucks! I appreciate the thoughtfulness that comes into coffee here. The barista cares about the quality and taste of coffee and really seems to value good customer service by getting to know his customers. I got an iced latte that was delish. In addition to that I got a breakfast bomb and came at the right time to sample the mango milk bubble tea. I appreciated the set up and their extensive options of baked goods, a lot of which are food allergy sensitive! read more

Our first trip here was mixed. The location is cute with a good amount of seating. It was difficult to find the menu. They do not have everything on one paper or posted on a wall. They were a bit harried and our first choices were unavailable (the bomb with bacon and a cinnamon raisin bagel). That said, the bagel I did choose was fresh and light. The preserves had a nice flavor. The breakfast bomb was very bland and doughy. The latte was quite good. Nice flavor and not too sweet. We would come back, but probably limit ourselves to the drinks. read more

At least at Dunkin, they serve you. read more

Cute shop but expensive. Bubble tea is plain. Stopped for a friend and she wasn't impressed.

I recently moved to the Rotterdam area and I am always seeking our new places to go. I came here on a Saturday with the intent of studying for an upcoming exam. I ordered a cold brew coffee and a bagel and ended up staying for quite some time. I love the atmosphere inside, it's lovely and comforting. They play nice music that is not so overly loud so I was still able to concentrate. The staff were extremely friendly and patient. With every new customer that came in the staff greeted them warmly. I look forward to coming back here and trying not only more of their coffee but their food as well. read more

Clean. Fair process. Coffee and breakfast bomb are the go to! Warm and friendly workers. Overall great place for relaxing breakfast!
