The atmosphere was cozy and inviting, with plenty of spaces for groups of many sizes.
The lattes were delicious, and the staff were quite hospitable.
We were most blown away by the baked goods. The star of the show was the fresh basil, feta, and cheddar quiche. I would be surprised if the crust was not homemade.
The cinnamon roll was more cinnamon forward than most (but very tasty) and the strawberry shortcake was a delightful blend of bright flavors and textures.
We thoroughly our first experience at The Fifth Tier and we will certainly be back!

Our treats were excellent! Not as many vegan choices as I would want…but the cupcake was delicious and the staff were all friendly

Lovely and beautiful inside, the quiches were so cheesy and flavorful. The scones, especially the more savory ones, had a great flavor with a more fluffy texture. Looking forward to new flavors as they come.

Very good bakery and a great place to hang out in a cool setting. The interior of this bakery has a wow factor. Lots of seating and places to have lunch/breakfast with friends. They have a wide variety of baked goods but their quiches and scones, both sweet and savory, are definitely the highlight. We had a mushroom leek gruyere scone which was hot and very mushroomy which was a plus. They have other baked goods like cinnamon buns and whoopie pies. They also have a wide variety of drinks. The service is friendly and they also have a wide variety of gluten free options, including the quiches.

We’ve been here fairly consistently since they opened in Wynantskill (never visited Albany location prior). I love their biscotti-not too dry that you have to dunk it and a nice variety of flavors. If they have GF biscotti, I’m not aware as the ones I select are not. I don’t seem to have too many issues with them (gluten sensitive). Scones are nice as well. Again, not too dry nor too wet. Soups-have had a few, 15 bean and Veg are my favorites! Oh, and chili! Coffee-I’m not a dark coffee fan so I tend to get lattes and theirs are good. Harney and Sons teas. GF brownie with ganache is very good, don’t let the GF deter you! I’m not a quiche fan but have had a few which I have liked. Nice atmosphere with booths, tables and sofa seating. Decor is comfortable with lots of plants. Good sized single rest room (helpful with kids). Parking out front limited but there’s a lot in the back with outdoor seating. Always friendly service! Pics are of a quiche, scone and veg soup.

Still amazing.
This I’d my First time visiting Fifth Tier Baking Studio. I’m glad I finally took the time to stop in and enjoy what they have to offer. Walking in, the atmosphere is welcoming with calming vibes. I enjoyed all the plants around the seating areas. Seating consisted of a few larger tables (family/ friends style seating), and booths along the windows. Back right is a comfortable L-shaped bench including high tops and stools. From my understanding what is available for their baked goodies changes often, during my visit they had gluten-free cupcakes, wicked big cookies, quiches, scones, coffee, tea, homemade salads, and more. Everything I put my eyes on in my opinion looked delicious!
I ordered a Chai Latte which I thought to be very good. If you want a chillax and a pretty quiet place to just enjoy a coffee, Chai, breakfast goodies, or whatever else they have to offer for the day I highly advise checking out THE FIFTH TIER BAKING STUDIO. I will be returning in the near future.

Delicious food in a relaxing environment, served by kind staff.
I have Celiac and the owner has multiple gluten free options! And they don’t taste gluten free! It’s a new world now – there exists good gf foods!
My favorite thing about the shop is alllll the plants & flowers, and the decorating is the happy opposite of your average box store.
Wonderful to have this in Wynantskill!

Simply divine! My wife and I have been here a few times now and the fact that they have gluten-free baked goods alone is worthy of praise but the quality is just unmatched! I had the cinnamon roll bread pudding (which is not gluten-free, to be clear) this morning and whoever came up with this idea is a genius. Love it!

I can’t say enough amazing things about Fifth Tier. Lyle, and the rest of the crew there always provide a warm and welcoming atmosphere, and the confections they create are next level amazing. Do not sleep on this gem.
Today, I got a cheddar & crispy fried onion scone to go with the intention of bringing it home to enjoy, but it was still warm, and smelled so good that I pulled into a parking lot because I simply could not wait to try it. 11/10.
