Storied Coffee & Milk Teas
123 Jay St, Schenectady, NY
Crema's Take
“Storied Coffee & Milk Teas is where you linger over a meticulously crafted espresso drink, whether that's a stellar decaf americano or a rich house blend that might just convert you to coffee, paired with pastries like their praised apple fritter. The welcoming crew here—particularly their espresso-focused expertise—has earned genuine loyalty from regulars who appreciate that this isn't a grab-and-go spot, but rather a thoughtfully curated place to settle in with excellent coffee and good company.”

As a person who is sensitive to caffeine it’s really hard to find good decaf coffee and their decaf americano is *chefs kiss* this place was recommended to me by a local shop owner and I’m so glad I tried it out. I’m here at least a couple times a week. The staff are friendly and they have a great rewards program/stamp card. Give them a try if you’re in the neighborhood you won’t be disappointed 😊
My husband and I have been regulars at Storied since we moved to the area in 2022. I'm never been a huge coffee fan, but Rich honestly changed my mind (at least on espresso) with their delicious house made syrups and perfectly steamed lattes. I love that they also offer teas and boba so my husband (the real coffee fanatic) and I can both get exactly what we want. It's the perfect place to come hang out, do a little crafting and reading, or get some work done. Bonus points for the second hand books, toys, puzzles and featured local art on the walls - it all makes for a cozy, inviting atmosphere! Parking in the lots is free on weekends and holidays!
i came here for the first time today with my mom to pick up breakfast for my family the lox bagel, and plain cream cheese bagels were so good, i had an apple fritter and mom had a cream cheese danish both very delicious then i came back with my mom to get my sister her own cream cheese danish and myself their strawberry matcha latte the matcha was so good and they made the strawberry syrup by hand too
Welcoming staff with cool and fun quirky things laid out. The coffee and the pastries are delicious. Try the apple fritter :) Thank you to the staff for a pleasant experience. ☕️
Storied is not a place to visit for a 90 second, in-and-out experience. Storied is the place to visit when you want a GREAT coffee beverage. Their customer service is top notch. I've never had an unpleasant experience at Storied in Scotia, and after 3 visits in the past few weeks, I am happy to report the trend seems to be continuing at the new Jay Street location. Baristas take the time to craft each beverage with care, which can include double checking your milk preference, reciting your order back for clarity, and pulling new espresso shots if the first try doesn't turn out right. Storied lattes are the best lattes, IMHO, and my partner loves to order matcha from here. I recently also grabbed a trio of Cider Belly donuts for a birthday treat for a friend. Love the collaboration with other local businesses. This new-to-them space has walls filled with artwork and plenty of seats, including table and window-facing counter space for your visit. I was also happy to find one of my favorite features to see at a coffee shop ever - a community puzzle table, positioned well and tall enough for customers to participate while waiting to place an order at the register or pick-up their goods at the side counter. Very smart and fun! Like the Storied Scotia location, you'll find lots of used books and fun stickers for sale, too.
