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.

What to expect

Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly, quick-grab spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Family friendly.
