Outstanding Food - Edit
3 of us traveling and lucky to find this all vegan cafe. 2 had omelets and said they were fantastic. I had the pesto sandwich which was outstanding. The bread is amazing as well as all the ingredients! Some of the best vegan food I have had!

The breakfast crane is really good made 2 meals out if it. I got a giant chocolate chip cookie for a snack later. Very good. Would like to get the nutritional information for my log it would help keep track calories and proteins.

Excellent breakfast - Edit
Came to Schenectady for the Van Gogh exhibit and this made for a lovely breakfast. The spicy southwestern omelette was delicious (and actually spicy) and the lox bagel was solid as well. We will def plan on making a trip back.

Best in the area. - Edit
I’ve lived in Schenectady my whole life and the last thing I ever would have imagined was us getting our own vegan cafe. Not only is it a vegan cafe in an unlikely city, though, it’s honestly one of the best vegan cafes in the country, and I’ve been everywhere. Their Night Out breakfast sandwich in and of itself sets it apart from other places I’ve eaten at.
Read moreI’ve explored pretty much the entire menu at this point and nothing on it is a dud. It helps that they continue to collaborate with other local vegan vendors like Halo Foods (various meats) and Strawberry Snail (weekly doughnuts), really forging a tight community of local DIY vegan food producers.
Chelsea, the owner, is quite literally the vegan queen of Schenectady, and she knows exactly what the people want even if they haven’t thought of it yet. She really puts her heart and soul into the place and you can taste it, but her overall presence makes the cafe feel like more than just a place to buy an oat milk latte.
The space itself is small, but very cute, and there’s outdoor seating, too. No bathroom (it’s not their fault!), which everyone inevitably complains about, but you can run across the street to Proctors if you need it so bad.

Pros: Cute and cozy space, Owner is vegan queen of Schenectady, Nearly everything can be made into a crunchwrap

Friendly vegan place for breakfast or lunch - Edit
The owner and the folks who work there are so kind and friendly, and their service goes above and beyond. The menu has a nice variety of breakfast and lunch items like sandwiches, wraps, burgers, bagels, and omelettes. (They're not open at dinnertime.) They often have delicious specials as well. They have a good selection of hot and cold drinks, including non-coffee items like Arnold Palmers and smoothies.

Super Fantastic! - Edit
I had been to Square One, the previous iteration of the café, but wasn’t able to get to Schenectady until now. So glad I made it! I had a soy latte, the pastrami brekkie sandwich, and a currant scone—all scrumptious! I would get the sandwich without mustard next time, just personal preference. The scone was light and crumbly, perfect. I’m taking home a piece of nutter butter cheesecake. I’ll let you know how it is! #Veganuary

Great breakfast and lunch - Edit
Take Two Cafe breakfast and lunch options are available all day. The portions are generous enough to split (and I have a healthy appetite) with great side options and specials. My non vegan friends enjoy eating here. It has been a reliable place to eat prior to attending Proctor's matinee shows. #Veganuary
