Motor Oil Coffee Albany Slip 12

"I would like to give this place more than three stars, and hopefully, in the future, that will be possible. Every time I come here, they always seem to be running short on something. Unfortunately, it’s like they can never make a breakfast sandwich due to a lack of inventory. Moreover, today they were out of gloves and paper towels for the staff to use. It appears that they frequently struggle with stocking necessary items. It is surprising that they don’t have a distributor for their food and paper goods, considering nearby options such as US Foods, Gordon, Sysco, and W.B Mason which is across the street offer a variety of paper products like gloves and packaging. Or if they do, they need to get a better grip on inventory at this location. Additionally, the atmosphere inside is quiet, lacking music, just doesn’t make it inviting even though it’s a cute place. Just missing a few key parts to make it work."

"I was in the store a couple days ago on my way into Huck Finn’s to get a new carpet, and had a very pleasant experience with the barista - I believe her name was Kat/Cat - very kind, warm, excellent costumer service, and the coffee was pretty good too. It was such a pleasant and sincere interaction that I felt compelled to leave this. would/will definitely return in the future"

"Such a cute place. The vibe was amazing. The latte I had was delicious and the person I was there with said the chai was amazing. Loved the chocolate chip cookie. I’m so glad we went."

"we live in the slip 12 apartments & we love how convenient & good this coffee shop is. we love the 2 dollar bring your own mug refill. the owner is super sweet & kind, we have also had a good experience with all the employees. service is quick, the food we have tried has been very good & we are all around really happy that this coffee shop finally opened!"

"Maybe it’s because they’re still new at this location, but the vibe in there is just chaotic, like no one knows what’s going on 100% but they’re just trying to make money to justify being open so they’ll sell you stuff anyway. Also the woman working there was just back talking the owner the whole time, not a place I imagine myself sitting down and comfortably enjoying some coffee. I got a large drip coffee, normally $4.50, added cream and syrup to make it taste like french vanilla, what should’ve been just a 50c charge, according to their pricing, ran me $9.00. I don’t think the woman working knew how to ring in the pumps of syrup correctly, or maybe they really do just charge you for every pump of syrup you get, but I won’t be going back after that."
