Professor Java's Coffee Sanctuary

Cute, home-like cafe. Solid place to relax, talk and get something sweet or simple to eat.

I love this place most times, granted some baristas are more on than others, but it's real coffee, made to order, and of it's not right they do try to fix it. Never have attitude either which I love.

We stopped for coffee for a while but I wish I had this Cafe in waltham too! I loved the vibes. You will know what I'm talking g about if you see the pics. The ambiance was great. There are books and games in one of the rooms. The decor feels little historic. But loved it. It's self serve. We ordered our own coffees. I ordered a mocha Roca. It was nice and strong and yet delicious. If I'm passing by Albany again I'll definitely go back!

This place is a hidden gem. Unassuming on the outside but delightful on the inside. Homemade Sammie, patinas, and don't get me started on the muffin and brownie selection. The coffee is made to order ans the guy running the place is great. Give this place a try.

Coffee is good. Amazing selection. Even good tea choices. Plenty of breakfast food choices too. Tried the breakfast bagel with egg, cheese and bacon. And breakfast quesadilla also with egg, cheese and bacon.

This is a 3 part rating that averaged out to 3 stars.

The food: 5 stars, I had their barnyard wrap, and was absolutely delicious, filling, had it as a before hike fuel and it served perfectly as well as tasted amazing.

The coffee: 2 stars, I got the Cappawappacino (if that is the spelling?), the whole drink tasted very weak, watered down, and overall lacked much flavor and didn't feel much caffination.

The service: 2 stars, from the start of the interaction wasn't great. I work in customer service and it's pretty standard to call the next person up when you're ready for them, so I was waiting as they finished with their customer, and after some time they gave the implication they've been waiting for me, despite them seemingly absorbed in finishing up the previous transaction. One good point was they got the coffee made very quickly. But then the food took a very long time, turns out they forgot about it after starting to make it, despite at this point me being the only customer in the shop. Instead the 3 employees being absorbed in chatting with each other, only after inquiring about the food did they remember they still needed to finish that........

Overall, good food, but wouldn't recommend.

Get spot among a wash of commercial fixtures. Full menu open to close. Friendly staff and coffee roasted on site. The new patio is kinda funky in a delightful way. I'll be back.

The best coffee hangout in the capital district period. The tea's are amazing. The coffee excellent. The art is beautiful.
The staff is like from heaven sooo happy and helpful

I suspect some of the staff works while high, because occasionally I am completely ignored for long periods of time or they’ll space on an item. But the staff is cheerful and friendly, and they have a great baked good selection, including vegan and gluten-free goodies. The food is decent, not amazing. The drinks are great—you can get tea lattes, steamers, Italian sodas...

A little cramped, but worth it. A regular cup of coffee comes with one refill. The food is on the pricey side, but very good. The staff is great. It's hard to know if you should seat yourself or wait to be seated. We just seat ourselves.
It's quiet enough to get work done or have a conversation.
I usually get the sausage, egg, and cheese on an everything bagel. My kids get the paninis.
