JACOB ALEJANDRO
274 River St, Troy, NY
Crema's Take
“This Hudson River gem in Troy crafts thoughtfully made espresso drinks with genuinely creative flair—think a Vanilla Citrus Spice Latte with smooth honey notes or a refreshingly balanced strawberry milk cold brew that shows real care in execution. Beyond the exceptional coffee and pastries, Jacob Alejandro nails the whole experience: the space is beautifully decorated with perfectly balanced music and genuinely warm staff, making it equally worthy of a quick grab-and-go or a lingering afternoon in their cozy shop. It's the kind of place that earns its stellar reputation not through hype, but through consistent quality and the kind of attention to detail that makes every visit feel intentional.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with creative signature drinks. Pastries on the menu.

An amazing gem along the Hudson. Every time I travel I search out the best artisanal coffee of the place I’ve visiting and my number 1 spot in the world so far is the legendary Ministry of Roasters in Chiang Mai, Thailand, but this delightful spot in my hometown of Troy is the…
I appreciate their level of quality and care. Jacob Alejandro always has delicious coffee, cappuccinos, and lattes. The Vanilla Citrus Spice Latte is incredible! THE most delicious blends of citrus and spice without being too sweet. It's like Hygge in a cup.
I ordered a vanilla latte and a scone. The latte tasted a bit different from the vanilla lattes I usually drink — sweeter, with a smooth honey-like flavor. The rich vanilla aroma blended perfectly with the coffee, making each sip delightful. The scone was crispy on the outside…
