Tay Tah Cafe

Solid sandwiches here! It's taken me so long to try this place and I'm glad I did on a not so busy weekend :) we got the chicken banh mi and egg/cheese sandwich on sliced sourdough. So good! Definitely hit the spot.

Where do I begin with Tay Tah? I've been going here ever since I was a child. It was the first place that elementary school me ever tried boba, thanks to my friends 15 years ago. Tay Tah was the hot spot for my friends and me to walk to for boba, snacks, and smoothies after elementary and middle school. This is a nostalgia review on my end.I haven't been back since I graduated high school, the reason being that there are many better boba shops. But, my best friend and I chose to meet here for a trip down memory lane. Most things have stayed the same aside from new furniture and the interior rearranged. The menu is practically the same lol. Inside they have high tables and chairs for families plus outdoor dining. We always enjoyed the service here, sweet, memorable, and efficient.So with all this boba talk, I had to get a boba drink. As a child, I loved their boba smoothies and it was an obsession of mine to try each flavor. Nowadays, I can't have the majority of the drinks due to them including dairy. For this visit, I got a Thai Iced Tea with Oat Milk and added Boba. It was standard and tasted typical of what you'd expect. That's the one thing about Tay Tah that I've always found, the food and drinks are reasonably priced but the food isn't the most noteworthy. For those in Albany, chances are you've probably heard of or been to Tay Tah for it being a staple since 2004. Due to quality and taste, I don't crave the food or drinks here anymore but it's nice knowing business is still well! They're easy to spot on the corner of Cornell Ave. with neighborhood and free parking on Solano!

I stumbled upon this place after attending an event at a pizza place across the street. Wow, I am so glad I did! This is a clean and cute little place that sells drinks, Boba, banh mi, sandwiches and snacks.I had a mocha Frappuccino and I will have to say it is the best one I have ever had! It was thick and creamy and tasted like it was made from real ingredients rather than just powder. I will come back and get another one whenever I am in the area !

Came on July 4th. I've lived in Albany for 11 years, how have I never been here before, we ordered a bunch of sandwiches and mango smoothies with a cookie. All tasted good. Service was friendly. The indoor and outdoor space is vibrant. Appreciate supporting a local business. I'll be back for the ube ice cream.

I have driven by this place many times. Finally gave it a try today as my usual banh mi place, Banh Mi Ba Le is closed on Sundays. Ordered the combo, $17.17 after taxes. Doubled the price as a traditional banh mi. I was expecting for something equivalent or maybe better? It came out to be a non-traditional Banh mi with a soggy, chewy baguette, bacons that were extremely salty and hard like pieces of rocks. There was no pate nor cilantro and came with too much daikons and carrots. Quality and price is quite disappointed in this neighborhood store.

Come here all the time! The Bahn Mi is the best, plus they have great smoothies. Owners are friendly too!

Fantastic family run cafe with great smoothies, breakfast and banh no sandwiches, ice cream and nice outdoor and indoor seating.

I may have found my new favorite cafe. Tucked away on Solano Ave this cafe is very charming and quaint. They have a variety of drinks including teas, boba, and smoothies. The cafe itself has a lot of natural lighting and they have inside and outside dining. The young ladies working here are always very friendly and polite. I don't come here as often because they are a bit pricey but when I do come I always enjoy myself. I'm able to relax and take in the calm energy this spot has. The location is on Solano Ave so parking isn't the best. They have 90 minute free parking and also residential parking if you get lucky and find a spot.

If you're ever on Solano Ave in Albany, this is a great place to grab ice cream. Friendly staff and quality ice cream!

Slightly pricey for vietnamese food--boba drink & banmi sandwich.But it has good location and food are tasty
