Margin Coffee Roasters (Downtown) — Restaurant in Albany

Margin Coffee has a lovely relaxed zibe, and when I visited music was playing, and there was a buzz of conversation in the air. This is obviously somewhere to come and connect. Whether you have 5 minutes or an hour. The staff are attentive to your order, which you place at the counter. The Square payment system means that your receipt can be emailed for expense purposes. Food and drinks are from local businesses and Margin supports the Albany Community in various ways. İf you like Live Music then Saturday is the time to go but then the volume is louder. Also if your having a private meeting you can book a large table at the back of the store for more privacy. Food wise the selection is small but very tasty.

They are open before work for takeout. Try it for yourself, if you need a bit of s boost on your trip to Downtown Albany. There is even AirBnb upstairs, should you want to...

When I visit Albany or have guests, I always bring them here. I wish I lived down the street so I could come here everyday. A normal cup of coffee is reasonably priced. $2.50. They have pastries you can try. The acoustics in this cafe are great. You can just hear a little bit of everything and the sound volume is not overwhelming. They pick good music, or if the piano is played, there's enough space so it resonates well and it's not overwhelming. There are couches, benches, tables with chairs. I really love this coffee shop. the baristas know what they're doing. It draws in young professionals and grad students. I...

I recently hosted a bridal shower at this charming local coffee shop, and I truly cannot say enough good things about the experience. From start to finish, the owner and barista were absolutely incredible—so kind, accommodating, and genuinely helpful every step of the way. The owner was especially patient with all of my questions and made the entire planning process feel completely stress-free.

They went above and beyond to make sure every detail was perfect, and I felt completely supported throughout. The space itself was cozy and welcoming, the drinks were delicious, and the pricing was more than reasonable for the level of service and care we received.

If you’re looking for a venue for a small event—or even just a great place to grab coffee—this is the spot. I would recommend them 1000% to anyone. Truly a gem in...
