Hamilton Street Cafè
317 Hamilton St, Albany, NY
Crema's Take
“Hamilton Street Cafè is a beloved neighborhood spot in Albany where the real magic happens on Friday mornings when their fresh-baked scones come out of the oven—regulars swear by them. The staff strikes that rare balance of genuinely friendly and efficient, making it equally suited for a quick coffee grab or lingering over breakfast sandwiches that locals rave about, though the food quality can be a bit hit-or-miss depending on what you order.”

Called over and they faxed the menu very quickly. The lady on the phone was polite and quick, The menu is your usual cafe fair, though the specials definitely showed off more flair. From order to delivery it took 20 minutes right at the peak of lunch, so that was excellent. …
