Purebred Coffee

Friendly and helpful service with a smile. I wasn’t sure about the differences between macchiato’s, cappuccinos, and latte’s, and she patiently explained the differences, which helped me to order what I wanted. The coffee was bold and rich, which we enjoyed, in a pleasant atmosphere with an industrial vibe.

Several years ago, we watched Noah and Meggin turn a neglected downtown retail space into the coolest coffee shop in Troy. Today they continue to thrive with some of the best coffee and pastries anywhere! If you've been going to the same mega-national chain for too many years, give Purebred a try; and be sure to add a pop-tart! Amazing!

I was in town and this place caught my eye. I love trying new coffee places. So I went in and ordered a honey lavender latte which was their special. First the cost were very high. $6.49 for a medium latte I thought that was a bit steep. Even Starbucks isn’t that much. The drink did not taste like lavender at all. It tasted very peppery which was odd considering lavender and honey are delicate flavors. Two days later I decided to give them a try again and this time I just ordered my usual drink a cortado. Normally I like to add a little hazelnut to my cortado and they told me they didn’t have hazelnut. I asked what flavors they had and they told me I wasn’t allowed to put flavor in my drink and proceeded to tell me what a cortado was. I know what the heck a cortado is I order it all the time. I have never been to a coffee place who didn’t let me add flavor to a drink. I get if I completely reconstructed a drink but it was a pump of flavor. What was weird is the barista whispered to me they weren’t allowed. Tried contacting management about this experience and no response.
