Stacks Espresso Bar

Precision and Accuracy when they prepare their espresso. House Blend is a classic Italian style and they also offer a rotating guest espresso. Different single origins are presented around the year, all with varying profiles. Wonderful building, great windows.

Really lovely place. The baristas were awesome

Great coffee and really chill environment

Wow! 3.2 words: bucket o' cold brew! 32oz of sweet and smooth cold brew for $5.50! No better deal or taste in town! (At least, not that I've found)
They carry a variety of coffee and espresso as well as a selection of baked goods. A bright and inviting space and friendly staff. Mugs of coffee are served with a side of seltzer to cleanse your pallet. They carry Cider Belly Donuts for a great pairing of 2 local products. You can also find Stack's coffee at Cider Belly. I usually stop in for coffee to go but enjoyed sitting down with my spouse on a Sunday morning.

Great coffee, great food, great vibes

Best coffee in the Albany area and best baristas. Very consistent in quality and this coffee house boasts a unique ambience to the entire area. This place and its staff has certainly brought energy back to the downtown area.

This is a beautiful space with bars against big windows - much larger than the other Stacks. Same high-quality beverages (one of the few places in the region that knows how to operate an espresso machine), same selection of snacks. I don't fault them for it, but the street parking here is brutal -- you will have to park several blocks away, and I watched the parking attendants hover over a car about to expire, writing a ticket as soon as the clock ticked over. Best to take Lyft, I suppose!

This place offers a very friendly and peaceful environment. It's not too crowded in part because they have plenty of space. The coffee offerings are great, and the latte that I had was made well. The only thing that bothered me was their menue option of an 8oz or 12oz capuccino. Anyone who knows coffee well knows that a traditional cappucino can only be 8oz because it's all about ratio of espresso to milk. anything bigger turns into a latte. So apart from that menue option, the place is very satisfying and will fulfill any coffee enthusiast.

Excellent coffee with a delicious selection of sandwiches, soups, and tasty treats. My new go to place for lunch.

Phenomenal. Best latte I've had in years. My companion had a basil fig latte that was also delicious.
