FRESH N' PRESSED
456 Madison Ave, Albany, NY
Crema's Take
“Fresh n' Pressed is a thoughtfully run spot where the details matter—they freeze coffee ice cubes so your cold brew never gets diluted, and their made-to-order BYO salads are a Capital Region favorite. Beyond excellent coffee, you'll find vibrant smoothies, a standout Cubano panini, and breakfast dishes like perfectly seasoned home fries that taste like someone actually cares about flavor, all served by a genuinely friendly team in a space that's equally comfortable for a quick coffee or a lingering meal with friends.”

My go to restaurant for take out when I want a delicious salad. Their BYO salads are my favorite in the Capital Region. I also enjoy dining in. The staff is incredibly friendly, and the atmosphere is welcoming. I have tried several sandwiches, smoothies, french toast, and home fries on their menu as well. Everything is flavorful and tasty. Their Italiano sandwich is a masterpiece. You cannot go wrong; I highly recommend. This is the kind of place you come back to over and over again not only because of their delicious food but their hospitality.
Excellent choice for a homemade bite, large portions and very flavorful. We stopped while in transit through Albany. Would recommend if you’re nearby!
I've come here a couple of times now for lunch or a smoothie. I've never had a bad experience. It's always delicious and fresh. The cubano pinini is outstanding. Prices are super reasonable and owner/staff are always friendly.
All my life of getting an iced coffee across the world, not once has a place used coffee ice cubes! That is the kind of attention to detail that I love to see. No more water downed coffee as the ice melts! I also had their Maple Sausage Panini and its delicious and filling. Honestly big enough for 2 people to share. Their home fries are deliciously seasoned and the spices remind me of home. I'm so glad I found this shop and can't wait to try other meals!
I tried this place on a friends recommendation. Would never have found it on my own but SO glad I went. Their breakfast potatoes are outstanding, delicious green smoothie, and uncommonly flavorful omelet! It's a cute, intimate, and friendly space with welcoming, helpful staff. It's going on my favorites list. I need more of these potatoes!
