Edit 4 weeks later: No actually I KNOW ITS THE BEST coffee I have ever had and will be. I love everything about this place. The owner is amazing and a very nice person. So knowledgeable and friendly. They make my day every time I come in. I now go several times a week. Please please please give them a try and then tell your friends and fam how amazing it was. I hope and will to get coffee from here forever. No place in the area is like this. Pour over, mocha, espresso soda, apple cider, cortado, anything will be amazing . The chocolate they use is just delicious and the shop is next store, called Primo. Amazing Everytime.The best coffee I have probably ever had. The mocha was so satisfying, so chocolatey, Every sip felt like I was being transported to another dimension. This place is NO JOKE. Will be a regular for now on. I was hooked after the first sip. I had it with oatmilk and it was still creamy and rich. Absolutely out of this world.

Best mocha I’ve had in a long time. The barista is a scientist with spoons fulls of this all put together to make a delicious concoction of a suspension of tiny chocolate flakes, milk, espresso and other goodness. There is no place like this in Troy or Albany. Amazing drinks

Great spot! The coffee is always delicious. Highly recommend the horchata latte and hibiscus tea fizz, both are homemade and very tasty. Also sells freshly roasted beans!

Amazing coffee, chocolate, and service! Coming from the pacific northwest, Ive been on a search for locally owned coffee shops and I am so happy to have come across Alias Coffee. The owner, Hernan, is so friendly and welcoming, and he is a true coffee expert (he roasts his own beans)!! The ingredients are high quality and I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a good cup of coffee (and mocha/chocolate lovers).

The hibiscus tea fizz was delicious! And theyre just the friendliest people, so welcoming. Love the extended co-op family.

Best espresso shop around, delicious coffee! It is very clear that Hernan takes great pride and love for what he does. If you come to Troy, you must stop by!

Great coffee, Hernan is so nice and friendly..one of my favorite shops in the area!

This is among the best coffee I’ve ever had! Hernan is a magician

Hernan is the best roaster around. Great cortado and hot chocolate! Highly recommended!

Absolutely delicious coffee, and combined with Primo Botanica’s chocolate (from right next door) Alias makes the best mocha I’ve ever tasted!

Best mocha in the city

Fantastic espresso! Wonderful, laid back atmosphere. Not your traditional coffee shop, but very interesting and a wonderful experience!
