The Cobblestone Lunch Shoppe

Cozy shop on a side street offering American deli style food with many homemade desserts. Good price for quality service and food.

Ordered an Italian American and a large Chicken Noodle Soup. Both were fantastic. The soup broth was flavorful and the chicken chunks were massive. Everything was clearly made with care and with high quality ingredients. This was my first time stopping in, but a note at the counter explained a price hike starting today. Not sure what they used to charge, but I certainly felt satisfied with my meal at this new price point. Great service too, very friendly.

The staff at Cobblestone is like no other. From the owner, Chris to his mom, Ruth and all the others, there just isn't customer service like this in the world anymore. I have used Cobblestone for a single lunch and to feed a group over 40 people. They never miss a beat. The food is always fresh and delicious. I highly recommend you check them out. They care about what they do, and they want you to be satisfied.

Hands down, the best roast beef sub and coleslaw I’ve ever had. It’s a little pricier than my favorite local sub place (former favorite - they’ve been replaced by Cobblestone), but they make their own roast beef which is noticeably fresher and so tender so it’s completely worth it. Also, I was full after eating only half of the sub and coleslaw so I got two meals out of it. I would highly recommend it!

UPDATE: I have now also tried 1) The Southern Gentleman sandwich and oh my goodness, it’s phenomenal - the fried chicken was so juicy with perfectly seasoned crispy breading, 2) the Tacos which are delicious - there’s a soft shell “glued” to a hard shell with cheese and the beef was perfectly seasoned and 3) the homemade chips which are magically thin, super crispy and perfectly salted.

This place is a must try! Once you do, you will for sure become a regular. The food is consistently delicious and made with noticeably high quality products. You can taste the love, talent and pride in every bite!

I ordered the Monday special, grilled cheese with tomato soup. The grilled cheese was made to perfection. Thoroughly buttered before cooking so that there was crisp all over the bread. Plenty of American cheese. Hearty tomato soup. I also tasted my husband’s macaroni and cheese. It was warm and creamy…so good! Others in my party ordered the grilled chicken salad, chicken noodle soup, mac and cheese, and Yo Eddie sandwich. Everyone was very pleased with their meal. If you’re not a regular, look at the menu ahead of time, and be ready to order when you get to the counter! They move people through quickly and rightfully so as a lunch spot in downtown Albany.
