The Burgess Café
815 N Broadway, Saratoga Springs, NY
Crema's Take
“Tucked conveniently on Skidmore's campus, The Burgess Café offers a refreshing alternative to the downtown coffee rush, with a genuinely welcoming student vibe, cozy seating scattered between round tables and laptop-friendly counters with outlets. You'll find solid Starbucks-quality drinks and pastries here, making it an ideal spot whether you're settling in for a slow morning with a book or grabbing something quick between classes. Just know that the service can be inconsistent—most visitors appreciate the comfortable, family-friendly atmosphere, though a few have encountered less gracious moments at the counter.”

The barista got my order wrong, and when I tried to tell her, the woman snapped at me saying “I will take it and throw it away if it’s THAT bad.” I hadn’t even tried it and I had asked very politely. Once the right order came out, it was not filled up all the way and there was noticeable space left in the cup. They also use microwaveable tapioca pearls and microwave them right in front of you outside of the kitchen area. On a less important note, the final drink is over sweetened too, even though I asked for half sugar. Will not be coming back.(live in Texas)

mmmm beverage
it's a convenient cafe on Skidmore's campus
Nice campus vibe - smiling students and basic Starbucks options. There are round tables and comfy couches nearby, as well as counters with outlets for laptops.Try Burgess instead of busy downtown. Park in Case lot - take loop road from either entrance to campus and then turn up hill across from soccer field. Burgess is second floor of Case Student Center.
