Brick & Mortar Café

There's so much variety, we come here three or four times a week. Fried chicken waffles are the most recommended.

Cool, old brick building with lots of charm. Everything we ordered was amazing. We ordered Chicken and Waffles and the Ham, egg, cheese crepe. When we left we picked up raspberry scones at the espresso bar which were unbelievable.

Fantastic!
Service was great and food was awesome!
I got the Eggs Benedict.
Highly recommend coming here- the food as been great every time.

Full of people on Saturday morning but all the staffs were passionate. The food was great and it made me want to cook the same dish at home.

The pictures on Google brought us to Brick & Mortar today. Thank you to whomever took those pics. This place is fantastic. Our first time here and it won't be our last. Very clean, very quick service and awesome food. Server was so fast I couldn't hardly set my fork on my plate and she was clearing our table. Food came out fast and delicious. Can't wait to come back here

I love going here with my family. The environment is good, the food has been delicious every time and everyone is very pleasant. They have seating upstairs, down and outside and also a short bar. Mostly stroller friendly. They sell some cool sturdy mugs, definitely a good buy and new favorite!

Great service, great food, and great atmosphere. I ordered the Huevos Rancheros, also a favorite of the bar tender Camelle, and it did not disappoint. I would highly recommend this cute establishment.

First and, maybe last time. First impression was that the host was too busy to even acknowledge me. I stood there a couple minutes while people just walked right in ahead of me. I hadn’t been there before and didn’t know the protocol so it would have been nice for the host to be more attentive. I ended up walking up and getting my place in line to be seated. When we were seated they came right away and the waitress was nice enough. I received a dirty water pitcher and had already been drinking my water so that was gross. The place was loud and I could barely hear my friends who were sitting right across the table from me so that was pretty frustrating having to almost yell. They should install some sound dampeners because it really did make the experience frustrating. It was also pretty cold and I shivered a lot of the time. So a little heat would be nice. I ordered the man-mosa and salmon crepes. Neither was anything to write home about because they both lacked flavor. I felt like a little salt on the crepe would have gone a long way. I also felt the crepe wasn’t a crepe, but more like an omelette. The drink was super sour, but it wasn’t lacking on the liquor so that’s why they get 2 stars. All-in-all, I wasn’t impressed. I’ll try again because it may have been an off day.

Came here again for the chicken and waffles, amazing experience and just as good as the first time my roommate and I visited. We were also there early enough to snag one of their apple fritters. It was very moist and not like the typical fritter you get at your run of the mill doughnut shop. Wonderful breakfest and conversation in a homly setting with friendly staff. The music choice was the only thing I felt didn't fit in with the whole vibe but was non offensive enough to not bother me most of the time. Still had a great time though, will definitely be going back when I have the time.

The best eats in Albany. Chicken and waffles are one of many favorites, staff is super friendly and the bartender (Kacey) is an awesome person full of personality. Can be a bit busy but worth the wait.
