Only my first time here but seems like some other reviews are a bit harsh. It may not be the best coffee in the state, but my light brew was good and the service and atmosphere was just fine. A convenient spot if you're in Pine Hills. I hope they stick around despite St Rose closing and Madison Theater shutting down.

I love the decor and location. It was my first time in and as a coffee enthusiast I always ask about drink sizes, as that s usually and indication of whether it s going to be trash Starbucks quality or actually good coffee. The barista seemed to be annoyed when I tried to figure out which drink they offered that wasn t huge. I personally prefer coffee specialty drinks European or Caribbean style where you can get a cappuccino OR latte ranging from 4-6-8ounces. I don t want warm milk, which is usually what you re getting in anything bigger than 8 ounces. After some back and forth I decided on the cappuccino with chocolate. It was really good, at least. I also got a Bundt cake which was a bit dry. I would definitely go back, but I would say, the service wasn t the greatest. It s normal to ask questions about offerings when you first visit a place, so I wasn t expecting to get a poor attitude because of it.

Guys I m trying to support you put the product is so inconsistent. I just spent $10 on a medium coffee and a bagel with cream cheese where the amount of cream cheese was barely noticeable. Give me a break guys. I like that you are open early before I have to be at work but can I get a decent bagel with cream cheese especially if it s so expensive?!

Disappointed. Rolled up to the Madison Avenue store at 7:03 AM today. Store hours said they were open at seven. There was an employee inside doing something at the counter, but when I knocked on the glass to see if they were open, she looked up without acknowledging me turned her head back down and went back to her work. I waited a minute to see if maybe she was just wrapping up what she was doing but nope, she never looked up again. So, despite being from the neighborhood, I guess I won t be a patron of motor oil coffee? That s a shame.Update 12/21/23 I ll try again tomorrow morning!

No plugs for laptops on the left side of the cafe, one plug at a seat with high tops not comfortable for working. The right side has one plug but it had a child laying across the seats unattended blocking from sitting there. Lady taking coffee orders had me standing there for a awkward amount of time while she made all coffees before taking an order for some reason.

Consistently the worst run coffee shop in Albany. Coffee cold with grounds in it, No toilet paper or paper towels in the bathroom. I've given this place plenty of chances-- I'm done!I would recommend nearby Iron Coffee Co or Stacks Espresso Bar instead.

Great little spot, still training their employees but they're doing very well!! Great menuVegetarian options: Breakfast and lunch sandwiches are completely customizable so you can't do it without meat easily, plus there are baked goods.Parking: Meters on this side of street, free on opposite and nearby streets

Located in the old Bard & Baker Board Game Cafe, next to Madison Theater, this is the fifth location of the Capital Region's Motor Oil Coffee franchise chain.The hundreds of available board games have been reduced to a dozen, and the decor now has a slight automotive theme, but the space is otherwise unchanged.Open for a month now, the new staff is competent, but still learning their barista skills. And the coffee is the chain's trademark Very Strong. There is also a small selection of maybe a dozen types of pastries and cookies.I'll stop by again soon, to see how they are progressing.2023 06 28.
