"I literally love Stacks! I’m here usually 3 times a week for work. The workers are always inviting and super nice. I work with individuals who have special needs and they are always willing to help my client’s peers when they purchase drinks and meals. I will continue to support them as much as possible I hope one day they start making refreshers"

"When I first walked in, I was blinded by the whiteness. I knew that regardless of the food or service, this would not be a place I would make my "go to". I simply prefer cozy coffee houses that have a feeling of warmth and the invitation to hang out and be comfortable. The chairs here are uncomfortable if you have a full sized figure. It took a rediculous amount of time to get my cappuccino. I actually got my bagel sandwich before the coffee. The bagel was nothing to write home about...but my friends sandwich looked great and she was wholly satisfied. My cappuccino was almost spot on. I ordered a 12 oz so thought it would have come with extra espresso. It was pretty, but too milky. She enjoyed her iced coffee...I think it was s strawberry cheesecake or something like that. Staff was,... ok friendly. Nothing really stood out about them. Maybe a 2nd visit...maybe not."

"Does Stacks Espresso Bar stack up? That is the question on my mind this morning as I try a large cup of their Ethiopian blend. I have it black with no sugar. The roast promises juicy hints of plum and raspberry, and while it doesn't quite hit the juicy mark, it definitely gets points for being fruity-delicious... The reason why it doesn't hit the juicy sweet spot is that I'm not desiring more.... Thumbs up for the semisweet aftertaste! UPDATE: I've returned to Stacks Espresso Bar twice since my first visit on Sunday. I've since tried their cortado, espresso with an equal amount of milk to reduce acidity, and a large cup of their house blend drip coffee, black, no sugar. The cortado was on point, it was only my second time having one. It was very mellow and flavorful. The house blend is my new favorite, right here in downtown Troy, a 15 minute walk from my place. The blend is nutty and smooth, as advertised, and has a slow-sip-worthy bittersweet aftertaste, which I love..."

"The staff was pleasant, greeted us with smiles and hellos, knowledgeable about the products they make and sell. It's a very cute artsy style local coffee shop with hints of Italian and French culture mixed in."

"Excellent coffee. A little bit on a bitter side, but still quite full of flavor. Most friendly and knowledgeable barrista Liam told us about the city of Troy is. (Most my reviews are positive— that’s because we try to find only good places to have our coffees. But Stacks is one of the top ones)"
