One Of The Best-Rated Restaurants In Albany! Brick & Mortar Cafe specializes on a unique breakfast & lunch experience that focuses on rustic dining in historic downtown Albany.
Absolutely going to order from here again! Best hollandaise sauce I've ever had from a restaurant (I've been searching for 3 years in multiple cities). Food is fresh and tastes like it was picked straight out of a garden and onto my plate. The fried chicken isn't greasy or heavy. Portions are generous and the quality and freshness can't be beat.

the omelet was perfect and the Shredded potatoes were soft in side and crispy on the outside, the Mickey Mouse Pancakes were delightful. portion size was just right for smaller appetites.

They have the best chickenfried steak my husband and I have ever had! Honestly worth every penny. And their coffee, in my opinion, is the best in Albany. I use alt milk and even their hot coffee tastes amazing. It's not easy to make a coconut milk cappuccino without burning the milk, but theyve never given me a bad cup. And their service has always been extremely friendly, and surprisingly quick considering how good the quality is.

Had to request a refund. I love this place so much and I'm here all the time! However, today hashbrowns were so burnt, bacon looked undercooked, both eggs were broken and the lid on the butter wasn't on and melted all over the entire order :( this place is always amazing and I take all out-of- town family here! Today was out of the norm!

Chicken & WafflesBreakfast Platter I am not sure what is happening to Brick and Mortar quality. We order regularly from this restaurant and the quality seems to be dropping. This is the second instance of really tough chicken and the bacon has been overcooked on several orders and doesn't seem to be of the same quality. It's disappointing when you are paying premium prices.
