Alias Coffee: roasting in Albany & Troy, New York since 2020

Coffee Roastery, Art & Music Venue, and Cafe

"Beyond coffee, Alias Coffee embeds itself in its community by being a venue for creatives, artists, and neighbors to meet or just pass the time. The Albany location realizes this for the visual arts, by displaying modern and contemporary art influences, while the Troy venue provides monthly jazz and film discussions."

Alias Coffee is a practice in discovering and developing coffee's character

For some, coffee is found along the way to work, hopefully not burnt, not cold, and not from a leaky cup. For others, coffee is that ritual you find yourself in before the work begins, that sets you out for your success in those hours ahead. The process for Alias Coffee is a practice in developing and discovering the background, traits, and ultimate character of the coffee beans sourced to their roaster in Troy, New York. The work for Alias Coffee is in the control and precision over how the beans are treated from when they arrive from Puerto Rico, Columbia, or Ethiopia, then roasted to awaken the notes of fruit, flowers, or earth.

This passion for development continues from their Troy-based facilities to the cafe fronts in Troy's Little Italy and Albany's historic N Pearl downtown corridor and its mobile-station at the Troy Waterfront Farmers Markets, where a variety of made-to-order coffee beverages are created. Each location offers a unique experience onto its own. The North Pearl Albany location takes inspriation from the modern

Cortados, cappuccinos, lattes, cold brew, pour overs— the list runs on like espresso flowing from the head of the machine.
