The Cobblestone Lunch Shoppe - Albany

Terrific deli with anything you could possibly want for lunch. I'm a big soup lover, and they have the BEST soups. Their location is also great, tucked away on the beautiful cobblestoned Maiden Lane.

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 It?s a little pricier than my favorite local sub place (former favorite they?ve been replaced by Cobblestone), but they make their own roast beef which is noticeably fresher and so tender so it?s completely worth it.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!

Loved every bite. Fast, friendly, honest food at a great price. Perfect for lunch in downtown Albany.

My sandwich was just OK, not great. I ordered the Red Rooster and the meat was very bland and dry making the whole sandwich pretty flavorless in my opinion. My boyfriend had the Italian American and said it was OK but pretty small for $11. Pickup was easy and staff were friendly. If you're driving there, just know that Maiden Ln is not open to vehicles from 11:30 am 2 pm.

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.
