Excellent service, employees are very professional. Free WIFI and very fast. The interior has a nice vibe with different seating areas to suit everyone. Ive been here twice, so ill be reviewing what i got both times. - Creamy mushroom w/ ciabatta 8.8/10 So much flavour. Ciabatta toasted to a nice crunch with soft inside. $22 but added $6 for bacon, bit overpriced. Epected a bit more bacon. However the flavour was on point. - Angus beef burger 9.3/10 Huge burger, great lunch. Was told the byn was black was.made with charcoal bamboo flour, had a very unique but nice taste, bun was nice and fluffy. Dcent size pattie and salad etc was sp fresh. Must try. - Cheesecake 8.8/10 Very cheesy flavour, very rich. Doesn't look big, but one slice of this and you're definitely good. Worth checking out, excellent food and chill, social vibes.

Absolutely delighted with our experience at 21 Grams! A hidden gem that’s both kid-friendly and seriously satisfying for the grown-ups. From the moment we stepped in, the warm aroma of freshly baked pastries mixed with rich coffee was simply irresistible. The menu offered fantastic dietary options, which made it easy to find something for everyone — even the picky eaters. My kids loved their meals and drinks (yes, they’re still talking about them), and I was genuinely impressed by the quality and flavor in every bite. If you’re looking for a spot that delivers on taste, comfort, and family-friendly vibes — this is it. A must-visit that we’ll definitely be returning to.

A nice find in Albany. Self service french style pastries that look wonderful and taste great too. Brings back memories of the self service bakeries in Japan! Apparently everything is made fresh every day and they don’t put out anything left over - GREAT! Really rate the coffee too! Service was fantastic :-) Concrete floor and ceiling means it’s a little loud but I think that it’s worth it for the lovely breads. They do have a full menu which is an eclectic mix of classics like French toast and eggs Benny along with bolognese and chicken soba noodles. Prices aren’t cheap but quality is great. A great place to bring kids I think!

This is one of the BEST cafe I’ve tried in Albany area. Their flat white is amazing, the texture is so silky. Great food and dessert as well. Their lamb shank is a must try! Absolutely stunning Merry Christmas and happy new year. See you guys next year!

Absolutely loved the Creamy Mushroom breakfast at 21 Grams. The mushrooms were so flavorful and the creamy sauce was incredibly rich without being too heavy. Everything was perfectly balanced, and the sourdough toast it came on was fantastic. Easily one of the best breakfast dishes I've had in a long time. The cafe has a great vibe too!
