Elements Coffee Co: A Community Gem in Albany for Coffee and Comfort

So I needed the power of the bean, and I stumbled across this place. As has been said coffee is definitely better than Starbucks. Not a high bar, I know but they are pretty good. Next time maybe ill try the food.

This is my go to breakfast place. The grits bowl is the best. The cheese, bacon,egg and gravy(optional) topping it off is the best balance ever. Not to mention the customer service is awesome. Be sure to try their berry drink. It's sooo good. Make sure to join their discount thingy. You want those points for your freebies further down the line.

It is physically not possible for me to verbalize how much I love this place. An absolute gem, the kindest service, the cleanest layout, the most interesting books, the best lattes(I recommend lavender or vanilla), and the best community! I felt so relaxed and at home here and was able to get a lot of reading done(which I haven't been able to do in a while!) Thanks Elements!

Just started frequenting this coffee spot as my usual place closed temporarily. Food tastes great coffee is also spot on had a hiccup in the past and never had a complaint after. all really great people to see every morning:)

Haven't been here in years but was not disappointed. Very friendly staff, very mellow atmosphere. Nice place to hang or study. Great coffee. Next time I will try their breakfast/lunch options.

A definite go to for a nice quiet breakfast/brunch. Unfortunately, I didn't write the review immediately after leaving so I don't remember the names of some of the items. So maybe someone from the restaurant can clarify if they see this. My boyfriend and I visited. From the outside, I was impressed. The outside is the first impression. When I went through the door, I was again impressed. Clean and unique decorations. The menu was easy to read and not to crowded. I hate super busy menus that aren't neat and easy to read. The cashier was very friendly and hospitable, no attitude. Very customer friendly. I ordered (I can't remember the name) croissant with chicken, peppers, onions, cheese...not sure of everything on it but it was VERY good. My boyfriend ordered the bagel with everything seasoning and cream cheese...very good...can't go wrong with those. The flavored coffees were very good too. Sorry , I can't be more specific with names but I highly recommend this place. Keep it in business. Another nice touch is they use these nice wooden trays and small individual salt and pepper shakers....what a nice touch!! My only recommendation....lose the social distancing tables. Quit limiting the amount of seating. Lets get on with it.

The staff was friendly and patient with first time customers. The turkey, bacon and egg croissant was delicious and made fresh, not warmed up from frozen.. got a cold brew with 2 shots espresso, very good.

I love the coffee the atmosphere and the people that work there. I go most mornings
