"One of the best (hot) lattes I’ve had in a long time. Wonderful flavor, temperature was perfect. With a splash of homemade brown sugar simple syrup. My husband had their regular black coffee and he said it was superb. The barista was friendly and efficient. We’re glad we chose this coffee shop as we were just passing thru Albany. 100% recommend."

"Alias Coffee in downtown Albany is a wonderful discovery for coffee lovers and remote workers alike. The space is large and thoughtfully divided into different sections — from comfy sofas and poufs to a long communal table — allowing guests to choose the vibe that suits them best. Whether you’re here for focused work or casual relaxation, the layout makes it easy to settle in. The coffee itself is excellent. We ordered a cortado and a latte, both prepared with care and served promptly. The staff is friendly and professional, maintaining a warm atmosphere without being intrusive. Their efficiency and positive attitude add to the overall experience, making you feel welcome whether you’re a regular or a first-time visitor. What stands out most is how well the café balances its purpose. It caters perfectly to two main crowds: office workers looking for a high-quality to-go coffee and people wanting to spend a few productive hours on-site. The environment is lively but not overwhelming, with just the right level of background buzz to feel connected without being distracted. Overall, Alias Coffee offers great drinks, a pleasant setting, and a versatile space that adapts to different needs. It’s definitely a spot we’d return to — whether for work, a quick caffeine fix, or just to enjoy the atmosphere."

"Grabbed a hot chocolate, a chocolate croissant, and a cortado. Great astmosphere, and a cool place to sit and hang out. The hot chocolate was deliciously rich in flavor, but not overwhelming. The croissant was soft. They also have great vegan options as well!"

"I’ve only tried the coffee so it’s a bit too early to do a review. I’ll update this after my wife tries the Matcha. The coffee is good. The place looks amazing, with lots of room for an improve meeting if need be."

"What a lovely place! It did take me a couple trips around the block and some bad parallel parking to find a parking spot but once I did, it was a great. The menu is simple and they offered 3 flavored syrups as options so don’t come if you’re looking for a fru fru (spelling? I made it up) coffee drink. My maple latte was delicious and the foam design was just what I was looking for. I also spent an hour in the comfy chairs in the front window and I will absolutely return."
