Ambition Coffee & Eatery, Inc

The service was excellent. The coffee was good - fresh, hot and flavorful. The Moroccan soup was perfectly flavored and filling, really good. The special wrap (chicken, artichokes, bacon and dressing) was ok. It was fresh but I couldn't taste the artichokes or the bacon, only the chicken and dressing.

The Service Of Jermaine B. Was very poor, 3 of us ordered $42.66 in food and when we asked for ICED Tea he served it warm we asked for ice he brought us a cup of ice then asked for lemon and he brought 1 slice of lemon for 3 of us to share then we still needed more Ice and he brought another cup of ice and slammed it on the table he was very snappy towards us very poor customer service especially when the service should be outstanding and exceptional but he was poorly trained apparently because we are not satisfied with the service here, foremost we are business owners here in Schenectady and we were coming to Ambition since 2012 and the business has became very decayed and unkept anyways to make a long story short it used to be more welcoming and LGBTQA Friendly but we felt strongly un welcomed by the poor service!

Update: Marc thanks for reaching out to us we are happy to hear your employee validated what we stated however the food was fairly good just wish their were better options for choices of sides not everyone loves chips, and the sandwich special the spiciness of the sandwich overpowered the whole taste of the sandwich.

It had been a while since I swung by ambition cafe, but I wanted to show my friend this cute Schenectady staple. They do pandemic seating, but we found a spot near the back of the cafe. The staff was incredibly friendly, and very accommodating. The restaurant designed is very old school, with fun celebrity murals, photos and news articles about the cafe, bottle cap poles, and a fun mishmash of everything the owner collects.

As I remember from the last time I was there, the menu is eclectic and has some nice vegan options. Most orders come with a bag of chips or a side salad, which was a pretty decent size. We were also thrilled to see that they had fountain sodas, so we could order our Diet Cokes.

We both ordered Jeremy's Package, which is made with grilled turkey, apples, bacon, tomato, cheddar, cranberry pesto, and balsamic reduction on pretzel bread. Boy did this sandwich live up to the hype. It was scrumptious, with a sweet little edge, and the acid of the crisp apple tartness balanced out the fattiness of the bacon and turkey. The pretzel bun tasted just like a pretzel, and it was warm and soft inside. Very happy!

The salad is also very good. It was mixed greens, and I got the honey mustard vinaigrette. He worked really well, and was a perfect compliment to the dish.

I'm so glad we hit this place up for lunch. I forgot how great Ambition Cafe has always been, and I'm really glad to see they're keeping it up.

Great food every time and nice, attentive staff. Their Sunday specials are always fun

I have been going here a good amount of times for breakfast and it's overall very good. They are always consistent in delivering good food. The customer service is a good but the last time I went I was lacking a bit. The bathroom are very small and dirty, but the food and environment overall is pretty good.

Ambition is steeped in local flavor. I went there for the first time when I was in high school for an Open Mic. Later, I went to SCCC for college, and I often went to Ambition to just soak up the feeling of the place. The art on the walls, the relaxed atmosphere, the idea that I was in a place that had been around to feed performers before they went on stage later felt so cool.

I headed back yesterday because I was in the area, and it hit me with so much nostalgia. Plus, the food was just as delicious as ever. The bread pudding muffins are out of this world good. Well worth a stop in for coffee and maybe a little something sweet.

Went here for brunch and ate outside, the staff warned us bees were a bit intrusive, they were right! As for the food and service, absolutely great! We had a Kahlua boozy Muffin, Barry Manilow pancakes, a meat lovers omelette (special of the day) and my husband ordered the Mimosa. Nothing to complain about, food was served fresh and quick, service was attentive and pleasant. We are very happy we tried Ambition! I highly recommend! Can't wait to try lunch there!
