Better Bite

Crema's Take

Better Bite is a casual Albany spot that shines as a quick lunch destination with solid execution on sandwiches like their Ibizia chicken salad and Supreme BLT, paired with homemade sides like apple cider vinegar coleslaw. The vibe is practical and no-frills—think grab-and-go efficiency with courteous staff and clean facilities—though they can be a bit rigid about order verification and menu pricing can be inconsistent. If you're looking for an affordable, tasty escape from the office lunch grind with real food made to order, it delivers, just manage expectations on the service formalities.

came in to pickup a order and nobody helped me for about 5 minutes. only to be told i cant take my order unless i show them it on my phone. even tho I told them my first and last name. crazy. I had to walk back and get my phone in the freezing cold. also caused a scene in front of a bunch people. very embarrassing on the business' end. "employee" who i dealt with was some guy named aiden. was really upset about this. other than that food is good.

Omelettes were great! Just be aware that the prices you are charged do not reflect the price on the menu at the counter. When I asked about the difference I was told “Prices are subject to change”

Always a good experience. I love the Ibizia chicken salad, no eggplant, on wheat bread. Such a good sandwich. Filling and yummy. Consistently good.

For “sprint to eatery from cubicle then back again” food, not bad. Tasty, affordable and served quickly, with several options for smoothies. Staff very courteous, and bathrooms are clean. Al fresco section in season.

Went for lunch today, even though there was a lunch rush, my order only took about 5 min. I got the Supreme BLT and coleslaw. It was delicious!!! Coleslaw I think is made with apple cider vinegar, and was a nice tangy side for my sandwich. Will return!
