Tuesday brunch @10am Ambiance (5/5): The decor is so cute! It was nicely lit and open with several booths on one side and table seating on the other. Service (5/5): We had no problems getting seated and serviced throughout our meal. There were few in attendance on a random weekday. Seasonal Special: Croissant Beni $17 (5/5) which had a poached egg on a croissant. Interestingly, the dish sat on top of the hollandaise sauce rather than it drizzled on top. I requested for the house fries to be cooked well-done and it was indeed delivered as such! The fries were seasoned well and had a superior crunch to them! Blueberry Buttermilk Pancakes $7 (4/5): I wish we had the ability to ask for a single stack because the 2 for $7 was way too much for us in a sitting. We left with 1 whole pancake untouched. Sadly one of the pancakes was meager in blueberry ratio.

Nice place for family and taking your college kids out for breakfast. Good food, seemed to be very consistent.

I recently stopped by Cafe Madison and had an incredible meal. The dish I ordered was pure comfort food at its best - eggs cooked perfectly over a hearty serving of corned beef hash, seasoned potatoes that had a nice crisp on the outside and were fluffy inside, and some fresh toast to top it off. The sauce on top of the eggs added a creamy, flavorful touch that really tied the dish together. Everything was well-seasoned, and the portion size was just right to fill me up without leaving me stuffed.

My family and I stopped at Cafe Madison for breakfast on a Sunday. We weren't there early in the morning, and it was not crowded. We decided to sit outside and were accommodated without a problem. The server was very attentive and brought our orders promptly. The food was very good. My kids ordered pancakes and French toast, while my wife ordered the basic breakfast and I ordered the super breakfast. We are definitely coming back for more when we return to Albany.

Best Brunch in Albany, eh? I concur. Mind you, this is the only brunch I've had in Albany but I FEEL CONFIDENT in my assessment. In town just for Saturday - Sunday but wanted something filling and comforting before going home. I made a deal with myself (mind your business) that I'd eat brunch if I found biscuits and gravy. Cafe Madison popped up on multiple best of lists AND guess what was on the menu?! The streets say the city location is better but the parking is easier at the outpost. I took my chances with the main location and found a spot right outside the door. Your Sunday mileage may vary. I was heavily considering getting it to go but thought I'd check out the interior first. I put my name on the waitlist (30 minutes around 11am) but quickly found a seat at the full service bar. I got a Paloma-mosa and the biscuits and gravy with scrambled eggs and a side of sausage. The BnG are a STEAL at $7. With my extras the total came to $13 + drink. Service was great. Bar stools looked suspect but were ultimately sturdy and comfortable. Food delicious. Nice social buzz in the bar and dining room. Loved it!

Visited Sarita@ Cafe Madison and it's fantastic! It's Cafe Madison's return to evening drinks and dinner. It's kinda the best of The Point redux.

Beautiful indoors. Great Food. Great service. I had an issue with them that last time I was there last year in 2023. That I went back and fixed it. This time went again. Food was great, I just wish they would have a better capuccino machine and barista type stuff. My capuccino came in with just froth on top. Oh well, let's try some fancy capu froth styles. For two people $54 plus tip. Come on. My cousin's hot chocolate, came in cold and watery. We asked the server to get it done with milk please. They bring it back with milk, but cold again. I mean it's called "Hot Chocolate" guys. Then they microwaved and got it to us. Just because of the ambience and great service, we might be going back. Omelets were on point. Rye toast amazing.

Love the renovations that they've done with the place. Definitely coming here more often for Brunch. Not only is the place better, there food menu and drinks are wonderful.

This is my first time at the new location a door down from the previous smaller place. I was hopeful the menu and service stayed the same. Well, we are extremely excited to report, they are even better than before. The location is beautiful with a very large bar and plenty of seating. Looks like in the nicer weather there is a patio outfront. Service at the bar was quick and helpful. Pictures show what we ordered and all the food was amazing! Probably one of the best brunch locations north of NYC and west of Boston! Must try! We WILL be back!

Cafe Madison is a reliably amazing breakfast/brunch spot. Delicious cocktails include Irish Coffee and different kids of Mimosas. The French Toast Stacker is a thing of beauty. Cinnamon lovers rejoice over the cinnamon butter spread that comes with it. That mixed with breakfast meat and maple syrup is a tastebud overload in a good way. Their Corned Beef hash Benedict has just the right taste and texture too. Service is friendly and efficient without feeling like they are rushing you. I am grateful for this reliable restaurant when I want to go out for breakfast.
