Arthur's Market

Super cute cafe, def would stop here again if near Schenectady or Albany even. Food and coffee were great and the cafe/market offerings for snacks and home goods was superb. Very chill vibe too!

What an adorable place! Lots of tables, lots of items to buy, nice counter filled with baked goods, shelves with specialty teas and coffees. I tried a iced latte with blueberry and lavendar flavor. My friend had chicken salad and an iced matcha. Located in the Stockade District, so we took our drinks down to the water and then walked around a bit before we had to leave. Loved it, people there working on their computers. I would def go back again. Staff helpful and quick.

This is our local coffee shop and we love the vibe and the neighborly atmosphere and human connection that happens between the employees and the patrons. The light roast black is my husband’s favorite. I always get a flavored latte. We love their quiches and their blueberry scones are to die for. Today I bought the most delightfully smelling bouquet of flowers that were being sold at the counter to put in our house for a visiting guest. Starting our mornings at Arthur’s is always a treat. PS: Open the drawers of one of the two seater tables and find some beautiful affirmations.

Walked in on a quiet Sunday morning and was glad to find this local gem. Drinks are seasonal and delicious, calm inviting atmosphere with regular community activities and a cute outdoor seating area. I have yet to try their baked goods but I plan to on my next trip!

First time here and got B.E.C sandwiches, coffee drinks, and a pastry. Everything was better than expected, the atmosphere was very welcoming, and the staff were clearly interested to interact with their customers. Lots of other great stuff available in the shop, plenty of seating inside, out front, and outside in the back. Wish we had come here sooner, but will absolutely be back as often as possible. Being in the Stockade, the parking is brutal, but well worth the effort and was not disappointed - other local cafes should take note of this setup and level of hospitality As a side note, on Mother’s Day they had unbelievable flower bouquets available behind the counter, very cool

Nestled in the historic Stockade neighborhood in Schenectady this market place cafe has been a staple for the residents and whom ever finds their way into this delightful area. The current owners have done a great job with a wonderful cafe menu, patio space in the back and local market items to enjoy. It is wonderful space to relax with friends, get some work ideas smoothed out online or just watch life wiggle by. Welcoming staff and great food makes it must stop to enjoy in the Stockade. *Great area to Pokemon Go in.

Great coffee and cute atmosphere, and I loved the BEC (bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich ). Limited food options. Counter Service was a little bumpy - ordered iced tea, never got it, had to remind them, and then when we did get it, it tasted like some kind of herbal tea instead of black tea. Would go back, loved the back patio.

Coffee here was excellent - we tried the drip, cortado and latte, and all were of great quality. Service was wonderfully pleasant, and price was very reasonable. We will be back for sure, and have already told our friends who live locally about this gem.

I stopped by Arthur's Public Market on a recent trip to Schenectady and had a wonderful experience. Arthur's Public Market sets just the right coffee house vibes with comfortable seating, knowledgable baristas, and delicious espresso beverages. My hope was to get a latte and get some work done and I was able to do just that. They have small tables as well as a communal table and outdoor seating to boot. I was able to get a table right by the window which made for a lovely morning of working and sipping in the sunshine. I ordered a pumpkin latte from their seasonal menu. The espresso was rich and lovely and the pumpkin spice was pitch perfect. It was a delight. The service was fast and friendly and the prices were reasonable. Get to it!

Nothing bad to say about this unobtrusive shop in the middle of a residential area. The building, built in the 1700's, is spacious enough for seating and a market and the counter. Love that they have a take out window! The tea latte was phenomenal, and the pic shown isn't my drink but so pretty I had to snap a pic. Great friendly service, too, even when I asked personal questions (about a piercing that she graciously answered).

Excellent coffee, peaceful vibes and delicious food. Our film crew rolled through last week and the owners were so gracious with us. I got a candle, card and a few books as gifts for friends. I also had an oat milk flat white, pumpkin latte, and the farro pumpkin seed salad. Everything was fabulous. So cute. Would return in a heartbeat

I was looking for a good coffee and sandwich shop and detoured from the Thruway to Arthur's. What a great little neighborhood gem! The barista perfectly prepared my cortado (which seems to be a challenge for many) and the kitchen delivered with a tasty soup and sandwich. This place checks all the boxes...enjoy.

Love this local spot that's part market and part cafe. It's also a great spot to work from as they have great seating available. The food is delicious! That bacon, egg, and cheese with special sauce on an English muffin is wowza!!!! The veggie quiche another home run! The coffee is great too. When I was recently in the area I made this mh morning ritual for 3 days straight. Such a win and can't wait to continue to visit when I go to area to see my family! It's a top notch local spot that's in a perfect little haven in the Stockade.

I think I'm a little obsessed with this place. My first visit was for the Pizza Night cookbook signing and samples. I immediately fell in love with the building and the atmosphere. I've tried a few types of cookies, a cinnamon roll, and my mom got a hand pie once. The handpies and cinnamon rolls are available on the weekend only and the cinnamon rolls sold out the first 2 times I tried getting some. So definitely arrive early if you want to try one! It's a fun spot to sit and have tea and a treat, inside or out. I don't normally find sitting in a coffee shop relaxing but I really like spending time here. It's a great place to get a gift for a goodie or a treat for yourself. I've gotten some packages of shortbread cookies and a chocolate bar. I like the blood orange iced tea. Yes, it's pricey and it's not exactly staple grocery items but I like supporting a local business that's been around for so many years! It always seems to have a lot of customers getting coffee and baked goods at the counter. I want to try coming on a Friday evening for a burger!

As a longtime Seattleite, I've been to a lot of coffee places, and Arthur's is top 5 ever for me. The staff is wonderfully friendly and attentive. The whole vibe is welcoming and not at all pretentious. And that goes for the patrons too - I've been here 4 days in a row while visiting and the people are always just super chill. Their baked goods are great - and they have gluten free options as well. And then there's the small market with a great selection of stuff, including a good selection of non-alcoholic beverages. Highly recommend heading to the Stockade District and enjoying yourself.

I have been a fan of Arthur's for some time now. I love everything about this place. As soon as you walk in you are immediately greeted with a cheery vibe and welcoming atmosphere. Most often I'm in and out but today I decided to order myself a lavender latte and a bacon chive scone. My purpose for the visit was to pick up some ramp quiches that they have for a limited time. I couldn't wait and had to have a taste of the quiche and I'm so happy to have done so. The quiche, latte and scone were all so good and really made my morning. Sometimes you just need a little bit of time to yourself to sleep down and enjoy the beauty of life and Arthur's is the perfect place to do it.

Been here a few times now. Located in a beautiful area of Schenectady (yes, this exists). Coffee drinks are excellent. Sandwiches are all very good to great. Atmosphere is relaxed. Clean. Prices fair. Highly recommended.

I do not expect to get recooked Frozen Breakfast Sandwiches for this price, very small too. And no more add $1 for coffee. Will not be back, everything overpriced, not sure if other people review a real, sounds too good for me to go check this place out. Giving 3 stars for the environment

Hall of Fame spot in the Stockade. Had the breakfast sandwich, raspberry scone, and light roast coffee. All excellent. Arthur's is a cafe and market rolled into one. Bright and cheerful, with a fine view of this great little neighborhood. Worth visiting even if you don't live in Schenectady. Enjoyed my time here.

Another amazing spot that we visited while passing through for a wedding! We came here for breakfast this morning and we had a great meal. The inside sitting area is small, but in my opinion, perfect sized and comfortable. The coffee was delicious, and we had a variety of light brew and lattes. The baked goods were fantastic! The bacon, egg and cheese on English muffin was amazing, my only regret is that we didn't buy an extra for the road! We also tried their almond croissant, and the raspberry lemon scone, also incredible and fresh. There was minimal wait time for us, and even when the line started to form, it moved fast. The service was great and the servers are very knowledgeable about the menu. I am so sad we are leaving today because we would love to come back for breakfast tomorrow! Sorry for the lack of photos- as soon as we put the food on the table, the family descended upon it and it was gone before our eyes!

Met an old friend here for lunch. It's a very nice space- market items for sale as well as a cafe. Several sitting areas: front, backyard and inside. I had an egg/bacon/cheese breakfast sandwich on a homemade English muffin. It was excellent! I'll definitely return. I can see why it's a neighborhood standard.

Omg! One of the best cafés I have been to. I got the Brie arugula sandwich w/ fig jam, and it is the best Brie sandwich I've had. I got the Agleatto... (probably spelled that wrong). It's literally vanilla ice cream w/ espresso and your choice of flavored syrup; so good. The atmosphere is PERFECT. Great for if you want to study or do classwork; outside seating as well which is very cozy + umbrellas at tables. They also sell a bunch of cool cookbooks, items, drinks, and foods. I 100% recommend!

Usually my reviews involve me expending a lot of words to explain why some weird, grungy little place I like is really, truly worth five stars IN MY HEART, but that won't be necessary here, because Arthur's is a place that should be pretty clearly recognizable as Good to any thinking person. I'd never been here pre-recent renovation and triumphant reopening, but its current incarnation reminds me of a lot of some of the beautiful NYC-expat-owned cafes down in Columbia County, with the 200-year-old hardwood floors matched with solid wood furniture and hand-lettered signage, the lovingly house-made pastries (they even bake their own English muffins for the delicious breakfast sandwiches), the locally-roasted coffee, and the bottles of Battenkill chocolate milk in the cooler. This might sound like I'm saying that I think Arthur's is copying other places, but really I'm just excited that someone has expended as much obvious love and care (with everything from the shade of green paint on the walls to the brand of chocolate they use for the cookies) on a cafe in Schenectady as they do in towns that run on the money (and the preferences) of wealthy weekenders. The grocery selection of mostly staples is fairly limited but probably very welcome to the local residents, and there's also plenty of Rose Apothecary-style items (attractively-designed cloth bags full of lavender bath salts, designy boxes of matches, etc) for people looking for gifts. Also, I spied with my little eye on their website that they're working on being able to serve beer and wine soon as well. If anyone needs me, I'll be there hogging a table from open to close.

Adorable!! I'm a sucker for a hipster coffee shop and this fits the bill. Not only is it super cute, it has high end, luxury food items to buy. What could be better! This is the kind of place. I like to spend my money when I'm visiting a new neighborhood. Not to mention the historic neighborhood it sits in. I want this to be in my neighborhood. Decent americano (my coffee test) and hot chocolate. Will be back on the next trip through.

You cannot find better coffee than the coffee at Arthur's. Highly recommend. Love the window you can order through too. It is, however, expensive. More of a treat yourself coffee than a daily coffee.

I was so happy to find this place. I was visiting my son who lives near by on a rainy, dreary day when I happened upon this cozy cafe/market. Little did I know it had historical significance. It is supposedly the oldest continuously running market in the area. The interior is warm and inviting. I ordered a coffee which was delicious to this self appointed coffee snob. I was pleased to see lots of pastries in the case and ordered a large ginger/molasses cookie. They have a freezer case with prepared meals. I chose 2 portions of chicken with lemon and capers. It came with 4 large dark meat portions of chicken, potatoes and onions with lots of capers and lemons. Our family of 3 had plenty to eat with some leftover. We enjoyed the meal very much. It came with lots of the flavorful sauce. The cookie was delicious and deeply flavorful. In addition to pastries they serve soup,salad and sandwiches. They are also a market selling a variety of provisions including cold items such as yogurts. While I was there people were seated at a few of the tables enjoying some food and beverages. I look forward to a return visit.

Wow. Visiting a local friend and we (party of nine or so) were brought here. I have no idea what they are doing but their sandwiches blew everyone' minds. My god. I could have sat there all day and done nothing but gorge myself on the entirety of their menu.

Very nice place to spend some time, good coffee, staff is very nice + it's in the Stockade so walking off cals from the pastries is fun as well.

I had the best vanilla late here and their cheddar and cheese scones is to die for. I drive 40 mins out to get this. Highly recommend, such a beautiful cafe market. Friendly staff.

Great little spot in the Stockade. Enjoyed the Salted Maple Latte and the vegetarian Lasagna take home diner was very good as well!

What a phenomenal place! Truly a treasure! The history behind this place is just incredible. The restorative work that went into this is just amusing! The coffee is actually good! I had the salted caramel iced coffee which was the most refreshing drink on a hot summer day one can ever hope for! the huge windows let in so much light into the cafe making sitting inside such a joyful experience!

Located in the historic Stockade of Schenectady this lil market is on point with local feel and a wonderful staff. Part cafe, part local market, part of history. The patio in the back is a great addition to the spot and the sliding window to order from is nice for when you are walking your pups through. A smile each visit.

Arthur's is a really cute spot with some great options. I've tried a handful of the coffee beverages so far, and the oat milk latte was great. To my shock, they charge a $1 extra to make a coffee beverage iced. With the additional up charge for oat milk that makes any iced coffee/espresso beverage unfortunately too expensive for me to go regularly. Will still stop by for the occasional baked good and pantry from the market area for sure.

Newly renovated historic neighborhood cafe and market. Coffee and flavored iced lattes are wonderful, the breakfast sandwich bacon is delicious and the sandwiches to go were perfect for a snack at the peak. Congrats to Haley and her team for bringing this market back to life! Worth checking out.

All of the reviews forgot to tell about the dog friendly ( yes, they have doggo treats! ) carry out window! For all of us out on a walk with our furry friends we can still take advantage of ordering from the takeout window and grabbing an outside table or head on out! I love the seasonal menu, especially the selection of quiches and cookies! If you need a gift you've come to the right place! Stop by for milk, a carton of eggs, lunch or dinner to go! Please don't forget the dog treats! We needed this cute little cafe with plenty of tables for eating and socializing! Thanks for the labor of love it took to get Arthur's perfect again!

Excellent coffee and food across the board. Really tasteful and unique aesthetic, wonderful friendly staff and welcoming seating area. Can't recommend this place enough.

Awesome coffee. I had a flat white and it was essentially perfect. Sat outside and watched the world go by. Colorful neighborhood.

Adorable coffee shop and market in the Stockade. My favorite place to stop in and grab a quick coffee

Excellent breakfast items and coffee. Didn't have a couple items we were looking for, but what we had was great. Great little neighborhood stop. Glad we found it on our stop in town.

Such an awesome local spot! Love the environment, coffee, and food! Definitely check it out.

This is allegedly the longest continually operating market in the United States. Though it boasts this history, it doesn't seem to live up to it. Arthur's Market is not nearly the center of activity that it once was or The Moon and River Cafe is today. The shelves are mostly empty and full of convenience items. As a a localvore, its disappointing that there is next to no produce, let alone locally procured goods. This is especially frustrating given the thriving Sunday farmer's market and the willingness of many vendors to sell their goods on consignment at a place like Arthur's. With all the movement towards local, whole, and organic foods, it defies my understanding that the market doesn't exploit that market. Arthur's seems to be resting on its historical laurels and its locational monopoly, instead of striving to improve. Their reaching out to local musicians and fashioning themselves a music venue is a nice gesture, but more community activities could take place there and often times a curious wanderer receives an unwelcoming attitude from the owner.

I used to come here while I was a student at Union College a few blocks away, and this is by far the best sandwich shop in the area. Homemade bread filled with fresh ingredients making delicious and filling sandwiches. Their soups are also amazing, especially the lobster bisque. Creamy, but light and full of flavor and a wonderful orange/red hue. A must try for a local student or passerby.

Rob Gavel has turned Arthur's Market into a chic bistro with lots of great salads, panini sandwiches, and ambience! He hangs great art of the area around his cafe and is sure to greet you personally everytime you come in! I reccommend the Front Street panino!
