Crema's Take

This cozy Schenectady spot is beloved for made-to-order pastries and custom cakes that locals return to year after year, with a welcoming atmosphere perfect for lingering over coffee and catching up with friends. While the kitchen takes its time (a sign of careful, fresh preparation), the real draw is Sandye's creative cake designs and reputation for special occasions—birthdays, gender reveals, and celebrations that deserve a personal touch. It's the kind of neighborhood cafe where you're not just grabbing caffeine, but investing in something handmade and thoughtful.

We had a great experience at Sandeyes Cafe! Everything tasted incredibly fresh—it took a little time to come out, but you can tell it’s made to order and worth the wait. I had the chicken bacon ranch salad and my fiancé inhaled his chicken bacon melt on a hardroll so fast I couldn’t even get a photo! The coffee wasn’t quite our favorite, but the service more than made up for it; the lady at the front was so sweet and accommodating. We’re already planning to order a cake for our son’s birthday and hope it’s just as good as the food!

Sandyes Cafe and Cakes did an amazing job! I ordered a cake from them for my sister-in-law, and they truly blew me away. The design was absolutely beautiful — you could see the creativity and attention to detail in every part of it. they came through and delivered a stunning, delicious cake right on time. Their customer service was warm, helpful, and very professional. I’m really grateful for how they made the whole experience so easy. I highly recommend Sandyes Cafe and Cakes for anyone looking for a gorgeous, reliable, last-minute cake! 🎂✨

Went to my great niece’s 1st birthday party. Cake was awful. It was a strawberry cake that was way too sweet. Frosting was tasteless. Had a weird texture; waxy. Tasted like wax. Cake was way overpriced. $80 for a basic round cake with basic decorations. Cake was not cute Nobody at the party complimented on how it was decorated. Blew my mind when I was told how much it cost. Would not recommend this place for a party cake.

Omg the cake she made for my son's birthday was amazing!!! It was moist, delicious and the design was out of this world. I definitely recommend getting your cakes here, I know I will be from now on.
