Best Breakfast Restaurants in Albany

Food was good, but I would say you pay more for the aesthetics. Service was decent—some staff were nice and friendly, while some were rushing and didn’t seem to care. We also got a table that felt pretty cramped as we were literally a couple of inches away from another table. The place is small, so it’s not their fault, but still felt very awkward since we couldn’t have a properly private convo.

Brunch today was our (3 adults + 3 teenagers) first experience. Great in every respect! Chose GLK Lake Merritt based upon Open Table info and patron reviews. A follow up visit is a must!!

Really enjoyed our brunch here… great spot. Amazing food… loved the vibe.

Our second time dinning at the new breakfast eatery "The Peach" and this has def became our new weekend spot. Reservations are highly recommended especially if you are a late riser. Kao was our server and honestly he made our breakfast experience 5 stars. Thanks Kao! He let us tour upstairs & gave us some of the history of how the new restaurant came about. I haven't written a yelp review in over 6 years and felt compelled to rave about this new place. Ambiance - 5/5 cozy, cute, & trendy. The patio isn't open yet due to weather but next Spring is around the corner! Food - 4.5/5 the flavors are amazing and unique to the non Asian fusion palate--like my bf. His go to is always shrimp n grits, happy to see this place has a take on it. If you're a fan, TRY THE CURRY SHRIMP & CONGEE!! Their pancakes have a slight lemon flavor and tbh I crave these along with the chicken Chinese sausage all week. I guess my only draw back is the inconsistency, although very minor. First time dinning we got a 3 stack of pancakes for $5, this time we just got one. First time dinning I almost got no salad. This time the salad was abundant (a plus). A new place like this will figure out the kinks and we understand cooks & servers are learning a new menu. Lobster toast was fresh and delightful. Nice large chunks of poached lobster with aioli drizzled w/dill atop. As a shareable this was a nice touch!

The Food, Service and Ambience was absolutely INCREDIBLE! I can't wait to go back.
