Very good coffee and service. Lots of space to sit and work. Clean space - more industrial than cozy. This is not a place to get snacks. They have a few pastries if you really need something, but there is a bahn mi place in the same building for something more substantial. Alias is open until 5, including Saturdays and Sundays, which is appreciated since many places are closed on weekends in that neck of the woods.

They make delicious ?? lattes! And a good ambiance to stay for a while and get some work done. Highly recommend! Will be going back to get some work done ✅

A lovely spot to enjoy a cup, it looks generally good for working though I only stopped in for a quick coffee. Lovely atmosphere and very nicely decorated - plus comfy chairs and couches! Would return.

Very good coffee served in a cup (strange to find, unfortunately). The atmosphere is very pleasant.

This coffee house is a GEM in downtown Albany, NY! They offer a variety of coffees including espresso, cortado, lattes, cappuccino, americanos, and hot chocolate. Additionally, they have bottled water and baked pastries. Local shop worth visiting ?

Alias is the best artisan roaster and coffee shop around. They would be perfectly at home in any major city and we are lucky to have them. I always made a point to stop at the Troy location when in that area, so I was excited to hear about the Albany location. As expected, the coffee is great, and the staff are knowledgeable and talented baristas. This location is massive compared to the tiny Troy location, very clean and new. Alias has a very limited selection which I believe reflects their focus on quality over quantity.

It’s a hit or miss. Depends on the barista.

I love that we finally have a decent coffee shop on Pearl Street! Their cold brew and matcha tea is fantastic and the chocolate & regular croissants are lovely!

Little different than usual coffee shop chains as there's no 'gimmicks;' however it's refreshingly minimalist, the coffee tastes fine, and the atmosphere is quiet.
