Stacks Espresso Bar
488 Broadway, Albany, NY
Crema's Take
“Stacks Espresso Bar is an Albany favorite where skilled baristas craft thoughtful drinks like their sage house syrup lattes and inventive mocha variations that keep people coming back for more. The spacious venue welcomes everyone from quick coffee grabbers to folks settling in for hours across indoor, upstairs, and outdoor seating, all while pairing your drink with freshly baked pastries and quality food. What really shines through in every visit is the genuine warmth of the team—they're the kind of baristas who remember you and make personalized recommendations that actually hit the mark.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with creative signature drinks, good cold brew. A slow-sit, quick-grab, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Pastries on the menu.
