Ambition Coffee & Eatery: A Hipster Haven for Fresh Coffee and Delicious Sandwiches

Enjoyed this amazing restaurant on Jay Street! The food was amazing and only second to the delicious coffee martinis. Staff was warm and welcoming. The desserts were delicious and I left so full. Cozy, comfy atmosphere. Absolutely will return. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Delicious and fun. This place has been on my radar all year. Finally got to eat there today. Delicious. Order the square with bacon and it was perfect. Eggs cooked perfectly, potatoes, cooked and seasoned to perfection, just amazing, and the bacon was crisp and tasty. I would definitely recommend getting one of their flavored mimosas, I got plain and wished I would have flavored it, they have a whole bar's worth of flavors. Took home a boozy Muffin Kahlua and coffee flavor, and a brie bacon and egg sandwich. I am so happy I got to try this place before my next adventure. As a foodie and a traveler. The staff was super attentive. Apologies, for a wait that was not even a wait. Very nice staff. A++++++. Don't skip this place, and don't forget to grab a book at the boom shop down the strip and a coffee next door too.

Loaded with atmosphere and good food! We were a group of six cyclists on the last leg of our journey along the Erie Canal from Buffalo to Albany. We stopped in for brunch on a wet and surprisingly cold August morning. We were greeted with warm and friendly service, and hot cocoa and coffee to warm our bodies and souls. I also ordered a hot bowl of chicken Florentine soup - which took the chill right out of me - and a Bluffin' with my Muffin sandwich (which doesn't actually contain a muffin). The food was really good, and we had so much fun looking at all of the eclectic decorations.

On our visit to Union College we stopped in at this gorgeous eclectic eatery and had a fabulous breakfast. Love everything about this place…the food, the ambiance and the service! A must go if you are in the area!

Stopped by for lunch with family visiting. Union College. Really cute vibe, food was excellent and John our server was friendly, accommodating and multitasking. Would definitely go back for lunch.

Looking for a brunch place on a Sunday while visiting and VERY happy to have found Ambition. The staff was very friendly and accommodating for our party of six, never feeling put-off by the size of the party, and were kind enough to move some tables to make it all work. The server was friendly and efficient, quick to bring the food as it was ready, as well as with any additional requests (thanks, Maddie!). The food was DELICIOUS--great blueberry pancakes, eggs, breakfast potatoes, strawberry french toast, omelets, blueberry waffles, and more. The Bloody Mary was outstanding--on par with The Ruby Slipper in New Orleans. DEFINITELY recommended by everyone in our party!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I just discovered this place yesterday with a friend, and we walked in looking for breakfast. Even though we were a few minutes late and the menu had already switched over to lunch, the guys working there were kind enough to still make us breakfast. We both ordered a bacon, egg, and cheese on a hard roll, and I have to say, growing up on Long Island (where in my opinion they make the best egg sandwiches), this place seriously impressed me. The sandwich was delicious, the staff was super friendly, and the prices were very reasonable ,especially for being right in the heart of Schenectady. I definitely found my new favorite spot to eat! Recommending to eat here over any other place in the area.

Great atmosphere and the service was amazing. The waitress was so helpful and nice. The coffee hazelnut cinnamon was to die for. The breakfast sandwich and hash browns were fantastic. Would definitely be going back and highly recommend.
