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.”
