Great food - something for everyone. Nice vibe, right off the bike path. Check Google listing to be sure the shop is open.

This was a cute little stop that we took on our bike ride on the Helderberg to Hudson bike trail (Albany county rail trail) they have coffee, smoothies and breakfast sandwiches along with a variety of other things on the menu. There is a really nice outdoor space for eating with ample bike racks to park your bike. While we were there, 3 or 4 other groups of bikers stopped by. Food was good...staff was very friendly and we'd definitely stop here again.

Had a delicious breakfast sandwich when I stopped in today along with a smoothie which was perfect, too. Staff were so nice and welcoming, definitely stop in if you’re in the area! The vegan options and all of the beautiful plants add to this cute little establishment.

Picturesque little cafe with a nice menu. Stopped in for a chai latte and also got a veggie burrito—the outside was grilled and crisp, very tasty. The baristas were efficient and kind. The prices are affordable. I will probably stop in again.

This is a very cute coffee shop. They have a wide variety of flavors and milk alternatives for their drinks. They do also sell plants here and it has a very good atmosphere and the employees were very friendly. This is a hidden gem!
