★ 5What a delightful surprise! A friend and I went here for lunch today and it was such a charming place, with inside/outside dining, great menu with fresh fresh fresh food. I had a wonderful sandwich. Katie had the gluten free french toast - looked yummy! Waitstaff was great, atmosphere was too. Will be back for sure!

★ 5Iron Gate Cafe is hands down the most mouth-watering brunch spot in downtown Albany. The interior is gorgeous and welcoming, the service is lovely, and the food is expectional. The pancakes and elvis memphis entree is outstanding. Always order a side of cornbread; it is decadent. They have a large variety of food to select from including lunch options like burgers and chicken sandwiches. The drinks are delicious. I highly recommend the ice Chai, hot chai, and if you are feeling spicy the mimosas. The food and drink specials rotate. They are family friendly establishment as well. The staff is incredibly friendly and this truly makes a difference when dining out. The noise level can be moderate but it is fairly easy to still chat. This cafe is definitely worth checking out.

★ 5Visiting friends in Albany we went to Iron Gate Cafe to have lunch on a cold December day after taking a walk in Washington Park. We checked out the menu online so we already knew what we wanted to order for lunch. When we walked in we told the host that our two friends were about fifteen minutes away and she told us our table would be ready in about 15 minutes. We were seated before our friends showed up. We ordered an Ice Tea and a Chai Latte while waiting.
Once our friends showed up we all ordered our meals. I ordered the Bean Berger (Homemade black bean burger, smashed avocado, lettuce, tomato, pickled red onion, and vegan ranch on a toasted hard roll, served with French fries $17.00 Add: Cheese +$1.00). My wife ordered the Thai Shrimp Bowl (Sweet Thai chili shrimp, cabbage, spinach, carrots, cucumbers, avocado, quinoa, and a lime $17.00). They both had Mimosas ($11.00).
Our two friends shared the Gluten Free Pancakes (Triple stack with maple syrup and your choice of protein $16.00) and the breakfast burrito (Three scrambled eggs, sausage, crushed cherry peppers, potatoes, smashed avocado, and cheddar in a flour tortilla, served with a side of ranchero $17.00).
My wife and I shared our meal and I got a taste of the pancakes. All of the food was delicious.
It’s a cool place with lots of small and medium sized rooms with a rock and roll style and serves a variety of vegan and non-vegan options.
Before going I read reviews of Iron Gate Cafe and a few low ratings were because of rude staff. I can say that everyone we dealt with was outstanding. Our server was friendly and came over to check on us a few times.
I look forward to going back and trying the breakfast burrito. -

★ 5Loved everything about it. My family ordered salads with all kinds of veggies, quinoa and chicken. Hearty, fresh, yum… menu is diverse with tons of great sounding options. Sammies, Benedict’s, bloodies, Prosecco…Lovely garden setting outside. Historical architecture and warm, ornate woodwork inside with chandeliers and stained glass inside. Nice staff.
