The union of two experienced specialty coffee professionals in business and in life has resulted in Jacob Alejandro, a new high-quality multiroaster coffee shop in Troy, New York.
Within a charming block of four-story Victorian buildings, Jacob Alejandro opened its doors at the tail end of 2020, inviting customers into a space where granite and wood surfaces, window-side seating, a long bar and the company’s name written in gold come together to offer both warmth and refinement.
“We wanted our place to be approachable, but kind of give you a little touch of luxury,” Jacob Alejandro Co-Founder Jacob Griffin-Diaz told Daily Coffee News. “We also wanted it to feel like a bar, like where you would go and sit down and have an alcoholic drink.”
