Beautiful restaurant with even better food! I ordered a BEC on a bagel with turkey bacon, and tiramisu french toast, as well as a specialty iced caramel latte (forgot to take a picture of the last one!). I grabbed some photos of my group’s food as well. Food came out quickly. Excellent service from the wait staff. Highly recommend!!

One of my top three coffee shops in Albany NY. Delicious food with a rotating seasonal food and drink menu. There is a variety of simple syrup flavors for the drinks and pastries. The Chai, London Fog, and Cinnamon French Toast Latte are my favorites. The apple and brie flatbread used to be my favorite; hopefully they bring it back! The sandwiches like the scenewich, oatmeal, fresh fruit, and the brunch board is declious. The service is good. The atmosphere is moderate depending on the day. It is trendy and reminds me of a coffee shop I would find in the city. I have ordered take out and catering through them for work as well. They are easy to work with for catering orders. Highly recommend.

This place is amazing and trendy! I’m all for the new wave of ordering through QR codes! It eliminates the stress and pressure of ordering fast, and if you want something later, order it then! 🙂 The atmosphere here is so cute and so vibrant! You can tell this is one of those fun and modern eateries! Their drinks are to die for and the food is up to date on all the trends while also being very unique and yummy! I love coming up here regularly!

The Scene Coffee & Cocktails in Albany, NY offers a gorgeous ambiance, great food & comfortable seating yet rather tight & seated in an awkwardly seated designed.
Quite noisy & extremely congested with a “Port Authority” vibe. Dining in customers & to-go customers are all merged together.
For the price, the service & seating should be more upscale.
The food was great yet the Mimosa was a disappointment being served with flat champagne & hard orange juice.
Perhaps that’s how they serve their mimosas ♀️
The Scene Coffee &Cocktails in Albany, NY thanks for serving fresh coffee& cocktails.

Have you ever been undecided about what to have for brunch? You want a bunch of things, but don’t want to be too stuffed? You like trying different things? Well, here’s your solution! The “Brunch Board”! Pastries, waffles, fruit, and bacon served on a board to share! And everything was delicious. The coffee was great – they offer a dark roast in addition to regular and the lattes got raves also. The space is cool and contemporary. Ordering is via on line (qr code at table) so you can keep adding as you eat/drink. Glad we found this place!

Sophie and Benny were great hosts on a smooth early lunch hour. The space is very welcoming fitted with tons of seating indoor / outdoor (outdoor is also heated). They have catering services for every type of event & a unique vending machine selling champagne bottles. I highly recommend for a bridal party / shower, morning date or simple ‘me’ day morning. The weekend are very busy make your first visit a weekday. Thank you to the staff!

Honest Review: the food was delicious as was the latte. For people expecting a traditional dining experience this place is not for you. Not only is the menu on a QR code embedded in the table but you order through your phone and the food is delivered to your table. It’s more of a quick service type of thing. They do not accept cash! I ordered a mimosa and was given a jar of OJ and a token that I had to walk over to a vending machine to put it into and retrieve a small bottle of Prosecco from the machine. I had to go back to my table and make my own drink with it. I was also not asked for ID. We did not get any of the servers’ names and it was a very impersonal experience, yet they still expect 20% tipping. The main dining room is super bright and open and very posh, it had no privacy though and hard to have a conversation in as it was very loud. Overall, I did not enjoy this experience, but the food and coffee were incredible. I think if you’re a Gen Z or into this kind of dining you’ll love it though.

A sleek yet cozy spot for some of the best breakfast food I’ve had in the area. Their pastry board includes a medley of sweets like mini waffles, coconut banana bread, strawberry danishes, and a blueberry streusel muffin. The fresh berries and crispy, almost diner-style bacon is a plus!
The seasonal menu is a delight and the Tiramisu French toast was SO tasty.
It’s self-service style with a QR code to order, but it makes customization all the easier in my opinion. Will definitely be back!

Well curated experience. Has a bright, clean atmosphere. You seat yourself, order from digital menu (QR code scan) and food is dropped off quickly. My cappuccino was perfect and the veggie scramble was delicious (add the bacon).
