It's cute inside and the service was friendly and informative. They let me know that EVERYTHING, even the puff pastry is made in house!!! Very impressive! I bought a couple glazed donuts to make up for the horrible pastry and donuts that I had this week from elsewhere. I'm so glad I did because they were fresh made and moist and the glaze was still wet! If nothing else they made was good, I would go back just for the glazed donuts! But everything is great so let's keep chatting! I originally decided to drive there to get the cinnamon bread that I remember as a kid. Unfortunately they were sold out. But they did have what they called Easter bread, which is s rich egg loaf, similar to Challah with red and golden raisins in it and the dough is lemon flavored. I bought a loaf of that and brought it home and made epic French toast with it! I highly suggest you do the same! I also tried their spinach pastry and "pizza" pastry, delicious! All the dough here just melts in your mouth without leaving a leathery film on your tongue which means it's real pastry made with butter! I have thus resigned myself to the fact that I will be gaining weight soon due to the frequency in which I plan to keep visiting this place haha!

At the start of 2024, we treated my mother-in-law to a donut treasure map road trip in CDNY,…read moretraveling to a half-dozen different bakeries to pick out donuts to indulge in for a birthday celebration like none-other. I read MANY blogs, yelp reviews, and social media updates to compile the list of places to check out, and I was surprised that a little spot I had never heard of before called Schuyler Bakery continued to pop up in my research. I knew we needed to make it one of the stops on the donut tour, and it was 100% the right decision. These donuts were out of this world delicious. The exact right texture and mouthfeel I personally want out of a donut. Sweet, but not too sweet that you can't enjoy every last morsel. I also loved the variety available... maybe 10 different donuts all together at the after-lunch part of the day, all classics and nothing dripping in over-frosted goo or crazy toppings. These are the donuts that donuts are named after. We will definitely travel out to Watervliet to visit the small, old school vibes kinda bakery for a dozen or so of these again. A++.

The frosting is particularly good, I am a big fan of traditional buttercream and this is right up my alley. The holiday themed items are super fun, excellent host gifts if you're heading to someone's house, or for the kids. Great prices too. And-there's bread, muffins, and rolls for those who need that kind of thing.

I can't believe it's been 3 years since I last set foot in Mumu's Cafe for breakfast. The visit was…read morelong overdue. I had some time to spare recently after dropping my dog off at a veterinary clinic in Troy. I ordered the Turkish Breakfast Plate which turned out to be the most expensive breakfast on the menu. It came with a lot of food. It included eggs, Simit ( a Turkish sesame bagel), grapes, toast, honey, olives and cream cheese. I also ordered a Turkish coffee which is a little stronger than what I'm use to. It hit the spot. Service is fast and friendly. The restaurant small but clean and cute. It looks as though the owners might have added a table. There are three or four tables in all. There's a new partition in the kitchen providing a little more distance between customers and those working on food prep. Gone are the beautiful ornate gold detailed Turkish dinner plates and teacups. I found them charming though not practical. I sort of miss them but they looked like heirloom items which wouldn't be appropriate for day-to-day use. They've been replaced by simple white dish-ware. Much more cost effective. FYI. There are no restrooms for customer use. That issue never came up for me but an older couple came in looking for a restroom and the owner advised them to go to the fast food restaurant down the street. As for the food, it was every bit as good as I expected. Some things don't change. I took the leftovers home and made another meal of it the next day.

Boozy Moo is interesting, because it has an ax throwing area, another area with swings, a bar and boozy ice cream. I had never seen anything like this place.

I recommend stopping in if you're in the area!

My first order was the Margarita Limon cake for my birthday last year, and I've since ordered several more flavors for myself and I've sent some as gifts too. They are consistently excellent cakes (well-packaged for shipping, too, which isn't easy), and they are always moist and packed with flavor. Margarita Limon remains my favorite, but Chocolate Borracha is a close second. And the Cranberry Orange cake at Christmas is destined to become a new holiday tradition in our family. I only wish we lived in the Albany area so I could grab one anytime! They also freeze really well. In fact, we have one mini cake in our freezer right now.

We opted to order there instead of online and to sit to eat a little. The line was to the door, but it moved pretty fast. We sat at a comfy two person table while we waited for our drinks and food. The place is definitely busy, but not too loud. I got a cold brew with maple and my daughter got the cookie butter latte. She devoured the coffee! The bagels are out of this world and from Bradstreet Bagels out of Kinderhook. This means we can get their amazing bagels a little closer to home now. I got their bacon, egg and cheese sandwich on an egg bagel and mmmm that really hit the spot. I'm picky about bacon, but this is like Canadian bacon, very good! I'll definitely be returning again for more coffee and another fabulous sandwich!

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.

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.
