Ambition Coffee & Eatery, Inc

There is a good reason why Ambition has such a strong following and is the go-to spot for so many people living, working and visiting in Schenectady. Their home fries are 5 stars and they have a large breakfast menu that is great. But their dinner options are NEXT LEVEL! The fact that their tiny kitchen can consistently put out such incredible food is amazing. Now, the only sad part is they don't always offer dinner, it's usually just for Proctors shows. But wow, if you get a chance to come for dinner, cancel all your other plans and come here. Fresh, delicious food from appetizers, through their huge main course portions and great deserts. Try something new and you won't be disappointed.

Wow what a cute spot to check out. I've lived in the area for a long time & don't know how I missed this place. What a creative, whimsical and delish establishment Ambition Coffee & Eatery is. 1st the decor must be seen... the artworks, the record wall & whimsy menu. Great food was served & excellent service by the staff. Stop by and enjoy yourself, I will again for sure.

This place is adorably kitschy. The from the eclectic wall decor to the fun menu naming, it is a great place for a drink and relaxing meal. The staff was very friendly. The food was absolutely delicious.
My husband ordered the Bluffin' With my Muffin sandwich (not pictured), the pretzel bun was so soft and not too dense as some can be. My daughter ordered the Avocado Toast and declared it to be the best she has ever had, she was so impressed y the squeeze of lemon and sprouts (she lives in Long Island and has A.T. often)
I had the eggs Benedict special and it was clear that it was made with love. The ham was delicious the hollandaise sauce was not gloopy and the home fries were well seasoned and actually crispy. I also had the hot chocolate and it was chocolatey deliciousness.
The only negative about the place, my husband said the bathroom was reminiscent of a dive bar bathroom but I am not deducting any points because everything else was perfect.

Such a great little spot! Had a delicious breakfast sandwich and muffin. Staff was wonderful, the space is cozy and eclectic, definitely recommend.

Delicious breakfast with a cool vibe....the French omelette keeps me coming back over and over. And my goodness those boozy muffins are heavenly. Service is almost always great and the prices are perfect .

We enjoyed an amazing lunch with superb service. My daughter had the Xanadu special while listening to Xanadu. Timing was perfect. This place is a gem. Candace was perfect! She checks all the boxes for wonderful service. We loved the unique sandwich options and everything was delicious. Oh and the chocolate chip cookie was my daughters fave!

I've been going to Ambitions since the day it opened. Mark, owner and chef is the best in town and only employs good, hardworking friendly staff. The atmosphere is casual and funky fun. Go and enjoy a sandwich, a muffin, or a delicious meal like the Crabby Mark.

Always a fun and funky experience. Been going here for years. The ham and brie sandwich was ok, but the chicken salad was excellent. My daughter loves the chai latte and said it wasn't overly sweet like most places

Love Ambition for a Saturday or Sunday brunch stop. Try a boozy muffin you won’t be disappointed. I always go for the Bailey’s chocolate chip. Also find their bacon to be some of the best restaurant bacon around. We always look forward to brunch at Ambition!

What a treat. First time there (although it's been there for quite awhile). We'll be back soon. Met the owner. Had a fantastic lunch. Quality. Great staff. Also place very eclectic and fun. Can't wait to go back.
Go and enjoy.
