Graham’s Coffee Parlor

What a pretty place for a morning coffee!!
Such friendly staff.

Loved everything about the place. The food, the ambience and a 5 star rating to the staff!!!
Definitely gonna visit again.

Very professional and good here! Love the atmosphere and always am a firm believer in supporting small businesses! Keep up the good work! :)

So far I've only had their coffee, but I must say I love what they're doing. They have tasty lattes, and the staff is super friendly. Haven't been disappointed so far, and I'm far more likely to patronize a tasty and friendly independent shop than a Starbucks, so long as they keep this up!

Was recommended to come here by my friend the owner of Fruit Loop in Clifton Park..& if she recommended it I had to come! Great place in Colonie to get a healthy quick breakfast. Will definitely be back! Great service and very cute on the inside.

Graham's Coffee Parlor is an excellent and much-needed addition to Schenectady, providing a local coffee experience amidst the overcrowding of auto shops and chain businesses in the area. The inside is impeccably clean, with gorgeous art installations on the walls and a bright, welcoming atmosphere. There is some seating available for those who want to lounge, but it is limited seating, so don't expect to always find someplace to sit at its busiest times. Parking is also limited, but as long as you can find somewhere to safely park your car, go for it!

The coffee itself is HEX coffee, and pastries are from Brimstone Bakery, also located in Upstate NY. The menu is varied, with a great offering of your basic coffee-and-espresso beverages (drip coffee, Chemex coffee, cold brew, lattes, etc.), with house-made syrups that taste a thousand times better than the bottled variety. They also fresh brew teas (they have a lot of flavors to choose from; also, they have matcha!), and make fresh-squeezed juices (like lemonade where you can add fruit puree), smoothies, and smoothie bowls.

What I love most about this place is how much love has been put into both the store and the menu. I feel welcome when I come in, I am able to ask questions without feeling disruptive -- as everyone is incredibly friendly and willing to help -- and there is a lot of customization available as well, just in case there is something that you may not prefer. I also appreciate that everything is as fresh as possible. Like I said above, the syrups, juices, and smoothies are house-made, so you know every ingredient that goes into them (sugar, vanilla, water for vanilla syrup; lemons and a nice surprise of fresh-squeezed apple juice for lemonade, etc.). The coffee is delicious, the tea is amazing, and this place is an absolute treasure.

Great customer service, food and atmosphere. I had the Purple Rain smoothie and it was delicious long with the Rockie Road brownie. My daughter hade the Chai lavender latte and a blondie and loved both.

Graham's Coffee Parlor is an absolute gem! The space is beautiful, the menu is thoughtfully curated, and the staff is always delightfully ready to make you an incredibly delicious drink over great conversation.

Katryn, the proprietor, is veteran in the coffee and cafe industry, and you can tell an unbelievable amount of thought went into this place. She is knowledgeable, kind, and lovely -- you really feel like you are visiting a friend everytime you walk in.

Do NOT miss out on Graham's, and if you are sitting there reading about it now, just go! You will not be disappointed and it will easily become your new favorite place in the Capital District.

Delicious coffee coming from a huge Happy Cap fan. It was a unique taste that had me coming back for more.

Hands down, best local coffee spot around. They also serve other beverages like smoothies and have a vitamix for juicing which is impressive. All the flavor syrups are made in house by the owner, Kat, who is adorable to say the least! She always has a smile and is very friendly and welcoming. I really respect the fact they have compostable to-go cups and re-usable stirrers. My only complaint is that I live on the other side of town from this lovely establishment but I would go out of my way anyday for a ginger bee latte & a bourbon pecan bar :oD keep up the good work girl!

No matter your location, Graham's is worth the drive. I strongly recommend the pistachio latte with a sour cherry crumbcake. Everyone who works here is great and im always happy with my experience.
