Friendliest owner and team. Great sandwiches (breakfast and lunch), specials, and cookies.

Amazing food always good and always fresh , but the breakfast sandwiches are the best in the area !! 10/10 recommend !!!

Very charming, but very small. Probably only seats for 12 people. Or sandwiches were VERY GOOD! My husband's grilled cheese was perfect, and my roast beef with horseradish mayo & cheddar on ciabatta was also excellent.

Delicious food and friendly staff!

Found this great little place and stopped in for lunch, food was exceptional and people were so kind and friendly. Can’t wait to go back and try the next thing off the menu. This place is one of a kind and my new favorite eats!

I have been supporting Ria's since it 1st opened. The food is always fresh & delicious and the staff are extremely friendly, even when they are crazed. It might be a small place, but the food they put our is quality food. Ria pours her heart and soul into keeping the establishment running and did so with limited hours even thru the pandemic. There is no better lunch place in downtown Albany. Thank you Ria and your staff for being you!

Loved the food here and had great customer service!! Wish I knew about this place before, definitely one of my new favorites!! 10/10 all around !!!

0/10 all the way around… food was slow, seemed like the “manager” was frantic and unhinged, just a whole mess of an experience. My sandwich wasn’t bad, it was actually made wrong (lol) but I still ate it. I really wouldn’t go back, the hours are kind of ridiculous & also unpredictable. The place is closed at random with no warning, or reason, & the workers seem to be mistreated and miserable. So sorry to anyone who’s wasted their time, but please don’t.

I have gotten my lunch here a few times. Until today it was just sandwiches; today I got soup--lobster bisque. It was very good, and the sandwiches I have gotten there have also been very good. They will make sandwiches on croissants for lunch if they have any left (they haven't yet for me!). Their beverage selection is somewhat limited, that could use some bolstering.

The food is pretty good but very over priced and small proportions. Ive gone there a handful of times in the past few months that Ive worked in the area and theyve messed up my order or given it away on accident a few too many times. They dont accommodate you for the inconvenience or anything and with the amount of inconveniences theyve caused me, I think they should do something about it esp since their loyal customers are limited.
