The Lost Gnome
21 Erie Blvd Suite 1, Albany, NY
Crema's Take
“The Lost Gnome is a charming, family-run spot where creativity shines through in both their rotating specialty drinks (think maple lattes and banana bread lattes) and thoughtfully made fresh food like house-made focaccia and real-butter grilled cheese. With a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere that appeals equally to gamers, families, and remote workers, this cozy Albany cafe feels like a place where the staff genuinely cares about making your visit special. Whether you're diving into their excellent chai lattes, matcha selections, or homemade pastries, you'll find yourself in a nerdy-cute haven that never feels overcrowded or overwhelming.”

I truly love this new coffee shop in Albany! They are always doing an awesome new themed/flavored drink or creating another delicious food item. The people working here and the owners alike are some of the kindest you will meet, and the vibe is so cozy and cool. Also, if you are a gamer or just love shopping for fun stuff, they have a few shelves of items. I always look forward to my next time in. Thank you to The Lost Gnome for all the incredible lattes & eats!!
Everyone there is so friendly!! We loved our maple latte and banana bread latte they had as specials. The grilled cheese was delicious and they use real butter! 😍
I love this new cafe!!! The chai latte and hot cocoa were fabulous! I enjoyed the homemade focaccia and the lovely ricotta spread (it was light and refreshing). The atmosphere was relaxing and the staff were delightful. I cannot wait to visit again and explore the other items on the menu!
Great staff! Friendly, kind and welcoming ! Fresh food and varieties. Great coffee and tea selections. Great space for gamers to gather and hang out. Marvel comics, Pokémon, fantasy game items for purchase also.
Fantastic little spot, cute’n’nerdy- and family operated to boot! Menu was curated just right, enough options but not too overwhelming. Everything made fresh and thoughtfully. LOVE their house-made flavors for the lattes! Banana bread and Biscoff cookie are my FAVS! Definitely a place worth many revisits!
