We came in on a weekday morning for breakfast at this cute little cafe. We had the place to ourselves. Our breakfast sandwiches were pretty good. I had their sausage and cheese sandwich.

I went to use the restroom during my visit today and was completely turned off by the experience—not just by the condition of the bathroom, but by the owner’s response when I brought it up. The restroom smelled terrible and was clearly unclean (use your imagination). I simply let the owner know so it could be addressed for the next guest—not to place blame, but to be helpful. It could’ve been left that way by a customer or anyone, but either way, no one wants to try and wash their hands to eat in a restaurant and be greeted with a filthy restroom.
Instead of acknowledging the concern, the owner became defensive and dismissive. She didn’t respond with an attempt to clean the restroom. There was only one customer so time and opportunity were not a factor. She seemed more upset that I said something than about the condition of the facility. Her attitude was completely off-putting.
I don’t believe I’ll be back. A basic level of cleanliness and respect should not be too much to ask.

Convenient spot and pretty quick when theres not a big line.
Food is good, i enjoyed my sandwich (the mitzi). Veggie sandwich was not bad, had hummus flavor and tasted fresh. I like that they use pesto on the pasta salad as opposed to just mayo, and having dill pickles on the side was nice.
The coffee was okay, not amazing and wish they had more options. Decor inside is interesting, has more of a vintage troy brick vibe- its different, not as nice as the other trendy cafes but this place is more of a restaurant with reasonably priced food and much less of a cafe.
Service was good when we went

Just discovered this not so hidden gem in Troy. Clean, Fast and Friendly was my first impression. Then I took a bite of “The G” (one of their roast beef sandwiches) and fell in love. Homemade chips, a great pickle and a fresh brewed ice tea with a shot of raspberry for $11 you’ll never order anything else. Best part is the owner herself can be seen working in the back so you know there’s love going into all she does. I’ll be back.
Update- I went back and had the same thing. Just as great. Third times the charm…

I screwed up a breakfast date, and Koni’s was our third choice on the list. My first visit was met with a friendly cashier/waitress. You’re a bit spoiled for choice in terms of menu items, but both my girlfriend and I chose “The Flying Horse” for breakfast. This sandwich had sausage, egg and cheese between two buttery-soft slices of French toast.
The meal was delicious to say the least, but very affordable as well. Next time I’m out for breakfast, Koni’s will be at the top of my list.

Super cute place with high quality sandwiches. Did not feel like they were prepared to handle more than a line of two people though. Was one of five people inside/one of three people waiting for food when I arrived with a friend 15 minutes before it got crowded at 11:40am. My friend got her food at 11:50, but we had to check in twice before I got mine at 12:10. Just sandwiches. They also got the side wrong.
Good food and vibe though! Will be back.

Can’t believe it took me this long to find this place!!! Great food and a cool vibe. I tried the west coast grill the first time. Loved that and the pasta salad. I can’t wait to try out more of the menu.

Serious Food Allergy Warning – Negligent and Unsafe
I want to warn anyone with food allergies about my girlfriend’s experience at Koni’s Broadway Kafe . She ordered a gluten-free wrap, clearly stating her dietary restriction, yet the owner added croutons to her sandwich—despite croutons containing gluten. This mistake wasn’t just an inconvenience; it resulted in a severe allergic reaction that sent her into anaphylactic shock at work. Her work had to use an EpiPen, call an ambulance, and be rushed to the hospital.
What’s even more concerning is the owner’s complete lack of care or responsibility. When we informed her of what happened, she showed zero empathy, did not apologize, and even seemed to blame us for the mistake. It was clear she didn’t even understand that croutons contain gluten—an alarming lack of basic food safety knowledge for someone running a restaurant.
If you have celiac disease, a gluten intolerance, or any serious food allergy, I strongly urge you to avoid this place. Mistakes happen, but the way they are handled speaks volumes. Unfortunately, Koni’s Café failed in both food safety and customer service.

I loved this place. Beautiful outdoor seating, cool building. Had an amazing salad with their house balsamic dressing with a blueberry muffin on the side for an early breakfast. All food was outstanding and they were very accommodating. Prices were very reasonable. I kinda wish the cup/fork were not disposable but besides that everything was perfect.
