Short and Stout Tea Company, LLC - Unique Bubble Teas & Authentic Tea Experience in Albany, NY

Super cute place with incredibly friendly staff! On top of the wonderful customer service, the drinks and food are delicious! I love coming here!

My friends took me to Short and Stout recently, and I was blown away by how adorable the tea house is. It’s much larger inside than I expected, and it’s clear that so much thought has gone into every detail—from the paintings on the wall to the history of tea displays, and even the cute items and teas available in the shop. There’s a cozy tea lounge and plenty of seating upstairs, where I noticed many people working as well. What really caught my eye were the fun, creative flavors they offer! They have sundae bubble teas like pumpkin pie, banana split, cookies 'n' cream, and even fruity pebbles. I was so impressed and excited to try them. I had the coffee bubble tea, which was delicious, and the taro sundae was equally amazing. Besides their 150 different kinds of tea (crazy, right?!), they also serve light snacks. I tried the macarons, mochi waffle, and mochi—all of which tasted great. They also have savory snacks like dumplings, which I didn’t try but looked tempting. The staff was incredibly sweet and helpful! If you’re really into tea, they even offer workshops, which I thought was a nice touch. This is probably my favorite bubble tea spot—it’s so cute and the variety is unbeatable!

best matcha in Albany!! The color is super vibrant and I LOVE THE STRAWBERRY JAM

It is great to have a place for tea. They have a huge assortment of teas for a pot of hot tea as well as dry teas to take home. They offer the usual array of milk teas with boba or jellies. We all like our milk tea. I particularly like my taro milk tea with boba, and my daughter liked her regular milk tea also. Their regular size is a bit on the small side. They offer smalls if you are there with young children. They offer a large selection of macarons. They were quite nice. However, I thought they were a bit pricey. Six were $20. They have a lot of comfortable seating, so it is nice to sit and relax over a pot of tea. We saw numerous couples there enjoying hot tea and a sweet. I thought all the items were of high quality, and they have a huge menu. It makes for a nice respite from a busy day

Definitely one of my favorite places to go! Wishing they had healthy breakfast sandwiches like egg and cheese as I'm trying to support more locally and it seems a lot of local coffee shops don't have those right now, at least the ones I've been visiting. But their macaroons make up for it definitely if you stop by get one of those too! I reccomend the espresso or lavender ones

In the Albany, New York area, Short and stout tea stands out as a captivating spot that is highly recommended to all. Its enchanting shop atmosphere provides an ideal setting for relaxation and socialization with friends, making it a memorable experience that warrants a repeat visit, thanks to its welcoming staff and ambiance.

First time trying this place out. The interior is nice and cozy. Drinks are good but I think a bit pricy.

A lovely alternative place to sit and read and enjoy a hot beverage. I am so used to the Starbucks over the world that I had forgotten about this place. There are many places to sit with both tables and isolated groupings of comfortable chairs. They have a huge variety of loose teas for consuming on site and taking home. They have a lot of tea paraphernalia. They have macarons (not sure if they are made here) and other light snacks and pastries. You order at the counter and they bring it to you on a real plate which is wonderful. Nothing is handed to you in a paper bag. It is peaceful there is music playing in the background and it’s a great place to enjoy just chilling and reading.
