In town to visit and found this gem of a coffee shop. The barista brewed us à fort ado and capu and it was Really good. Coffee has full of flavor and really hit the spot to get our day going. The pastries looked fresh but didn’t try. Next time.

Unfortunately, the conversations between staff and regular customers often feel like you are walking in on a private meeting between friends. The tea and coffee are enjoyable but the expense of the product is not worth it due to an unpleasant atmosphere.

The atmosphere is actually very pleasant, charming, homely- although very tight, still cozy. And the woman behind the counter seemed really sweet. But the coffee itself was just okay. Like coffee you’d get from a cafe in NYC.

Ordered a hot coffee and they handed it over at scolding temperatures with no lid or heat sleeve on it. It was so hot my hand went numb immediately, and having no lid it spilled and burned my skin before I could get to the lids. Ended up throwing the coffee away down the block as it was too hot to continue walking home with it.

I thought that the Alias coffee was fairly new. It’s tricky but I’ll explain it, the business has been in existence since 2020 but the kication is new.
Alias Coffee partnered with 518 Craft and Primobotanica to open up in a shared space in downtown Troy, NY initially during covid. With good coffee and service, I’m sure they will have a successful future.
I’m not a coffee drinker, but I do taste it so as part of the yelp experience, community CO was thoughtful enough to partner with a small and upcoming local coffee shop on National coffee day and get us in for a cup of coffee.
I asked the Barsita to make me the best drink from the available choices and was given a Cappuccino, which I took a sip and handed it to my dad. My dad did say the coffee was good and from my tasting experience, the coffee was smooth and had a bitter after taste (like a few people I know like it that way) and the taske kept lingering fir an hour.
Go get your coffee, this is in a neighborhood that requires revitalization, there have been some good initiatives and us as a community can help support them.

I wish they have coffee mugs and more pastry variety, but otherwise very good coffee. Seems to be small, but have spacious back space with small stage and can host music events. Nice place and friendly staff.

Exceptionally crafted coffee, served with great care, at a very reasonable price! I’m always looking out for small coffee roasters, and Hernán’s brews are some of the best I’ve had across the country. He took his time preparing coffee and tea drinks for us and they were cheaper than the ones at the national chains. He had sold out of his packaged coffee beans at the Troy farmer’s market, but he weighed out freshly roasted espresso beans for me to take home on the spot. The new location is beautiful and bright, and the Alias Coffee social media page mentions that he works with regenerative farms in the Americas to source his beans…I really can’t recommend it enough! We will definitely return when we’re back in town visiting family.

Small coffee shop with a great atmosphere. Barista is kind and helpful. The espresso is some of the best I’ve had, seriously. Cappuccino was exceptional, they know how to make it well.

Drove out of our way for this 5 star coffee but was quite disappointed. The maple latte lacked flavor and the iced mocha was non palatable.
Giving 3 stars because the barista was super kind and maybe we just have high coffee expectations coming from metro NYC area.
