“A lot of my favorite gifts over the past couple of years have come from Rom Shop! The owners are very nice and friendly. It can be a bit on the pricey end, but that’s because their items are sustainably and ethically sourced as well as being high quality. But there are some great budget items and I haven’t had a miss from their sale section. I love having this shop in my neighborhood!”
“I absolutely love coming to this specific hot topic mostly because Ginni is the most helpful and special employee I've ever come across at a Hot Topic! I always hope to see them when I come in! Ginni always makes me feel special and helps me pick out things at the store that will look good on me. I love Ginnis vibe, style, and overall attitude and it just makes my experience in the store that much better. Thank you so much for making my shopping here the best I could imagine!!!!<3”

“This is a hidden gem in Albany, NY! My husband and I were in need of tailoring services on a tight turnaround and this business owner exceeded our expectations. Her services were affordable, $65 for the two items combined, yet her experience is evident. We felt welcomed and at ease leaving her shop. She even offered a tutorial after hearing I had difficulty removing the salwar top. Thanks so much for helping us look the part for our cousin’s wedding.”
“My family and I own a dry cleaner, we have been pressing shirts for over 4 decades and without a doubt llbean button downs are the HIGHEST quality shirt money can buy. We’ve seen it all, dry rotted, rips, missing buttons and not yet one bad llbean shirt. Don’t waste your money anywhere else just grab an llbean and you will not regret it! Great customer service and Lise is amazing! Very helpful!”
“We have a plus size teenage daughter who is still trying to find her style and is starting high school in a few weeks. As such, shopping has always brought anxiety and stress and back to school shopping was dreaded in our household. Yesterday we wondered into Buckle in Crossgates Mall and had the best experience thanks to the wonderful individuals who assisted us. Upon walking in we were greeted by Tony. We explained that we were letting our daughters look around so as to not cause extra anxiety. She understood the assignment and was so gracious with us. She introduced us to Kendrick (a literal God sent). Both Tony and Kendrick guided our daughter through the store, suggested items that we would’ve never suggested, and took time to look around the store for items she might try. When she didn’t fit into the regular sizes, Kendrick instilled faith in us (literally pulled me aside and told us he got us and that he would not destroy her confidence) that we would find pieces for her to try. Tony and Kendrick suggested the Gabby jeans and 93s which fit her so well, she NEVER wears denim but LOVED the fit. We left in tears with multiple items that our daughter loved. Most importantly, they built her confidence, and made her feel accepted and included in this space. We are incredibly grateful for their patience and commitment to assisting their customers. We highly recommend Kendrick as a lead and truly believe he needs a raise ?”
“Great store very clean and teen friendly! This was my second visit with my teenage daughter. They have soo many cute and stylish things? we will definitely be back!! Love the self checkout very fast and convenient and employers are very helpful!”
“I am impressed by the collection in old navy cross gates mall especially low waisted baggy jeans for women. The associates were so helpful and kind, the line was so long when I went in but they were quick and efficient. I will be going back soon for my grand daughter :)”
“Probably the best outlet store on the planet. Indistinguishable from regular J Crew (outside of the prices), I'm always able to find my upcoming seasonal wardrobe here.”
“Elena was absolutely amazing and helped out me and my girlfriend with understanding the deals and for saving money. We had her running all over the store for us and we felt really bad but she was super cheerful and happy to help. Absolutely amazing, sweet and helpful.
Giselle checked us out and made sure we saved money and even showed us online savings that we could do, she was super nice.
Will 100% come back especially if these two are working!!”
“The clothing is always great quality but Mya the sales clerk made it 1000x better. She was kind courteous and helped me tremendously. I'll definitely be back to this location”
“Nice selection of items. Decent prices and great clearance section. Staff was helpful, friendly and patient. Store was clean and things were spaced out as they could to practice social distance. Will return in near future.”
“The ladies who run this Gap are the most helpful, knowledgeable people I've ever met. They patiently advise you until you look and feel amazing!! They are truly educated stylists who want you to look good and feel happy! I am so thankful to Ashley and Sarah!!!”
“I love the quality. Have had leggings for almost 10 years from here that still look and feel new!! ( I hear they just discontinued this style but the new style isn't too different)”
“Been coming here for 5 years. Owner comes 2x a day to clean and if you have any issues (like machines eating money ect) he will refund you and assist you. It’s very affordable. Sometimes there are machines that are out of order bjt he does a good and quick job in repairing and replacing.”
“Erica is amazing. I went in for an updated wardrobe because I am now 30 and it was time lol. Erica approached me asking if she could take the items I picked out to a dressing room so I could keep shopping, and then she asked me what I was shopping for today. I continued shopping and when I went to the dressing room, she told me that she also picked out some things I could try if I wanted and she had it hanging in the dressing room organized into multiple outfits. It was so sweet and I really loved a lot of the pieces she picked out that I wouldn’t have picked for myself on my own. She was there when I needed to try different sizes and brought it to my dressing room. She went above and beyond to make the experience not only pleasant, but fun!! Thank you Erica!!”
“I might be biased because I work there now. But I've been a customer for several years; and I changed careers because I love not only the product but the mission, the demographic and the empowerment of being a woman feeling good in fitness clothing and achieving goals. This location is a tough one to pull in crowds but it does. Why? Excellent service, products and reputation!”
“I always find good deals when i come here. I miss shopping at the one in NYC since moved a few yrs ago. I got some items for the Summer for me and my teenage daughter. She was very happy. She got a hoodie in July lol. Kids nowadays are hilarious. (No she's not wearing it, she just wanted a new one).”
“Cool store bought a few items, nice holiday sale. Layout different from most stores I've visited. Having to go out into mall to go to other level. Not convenient. Need better lighting on men's level. And placement of sale racks”
“The staff at this location is so kind compared to the other store in Albany. I really like how neat it is kept and how the fitting rooms are actual rooms, not doors with giant gaps under them. The clothing quality isn’t the best, but this location is where I will shop if I choose to go to Aeropostale.”
“Best Banana Republic store I have ever been too. Very clean and organize with an amazing staff that goes above and beyond to guarantee costumer satisfaction. Mat was very polite and knowledgeable about everything”

“I went in looking for summer clothes. the staff were so kind and accepting as I was walking around the store basically looking at everything with my kid. The sales associate I spoke with was happy to point me in the direction of the dressing rooms to make sure that everything fit well, and helped me pick out a couple of items. I was on the fence about a pair of pants there, but I think I'm going back for them ?.Absolutely a fabulous store. It's t's a comfortable environment where they're not trying to sell you anything, and you don't feel like a number or another face in the crowd walking in. 1000% suggest visiting this store.”
“Good collection. I bought a bunch of clothes here for my Hawaii trip. Shirts and shorts and sunglasses. Very reasonably priced and good quality clothes. Very happy with my purchase. Definitely would visit again.”

“How I found the best swag shop in Albany? I went to a concert at the MVP arena and was told my bag was too big to enter with. Damn! I told my sister to hold out there at the gate and I went looking for a place to get a smaller bag. Right up the street I found Fresh&Fly. Angelo was behind the counter and hooked me up quick with the perfect bag. Then he offers to keep my bigger bag for me overnight so I didn't have to throw it away. Never met a sales person this cool! I didn't have time to look around as I had to go back to the MVP. Bag worked like a charm.Next day I go back to the shop and Angelo is there holding my bag out for me. We chatted about the concert and then I got a chance to actually look around the store. Best stuff I've seen. I mean quality, color, design (Some of which is Angelo's original ). The place isn't big but the selection is great with unique items and nice layout. I bought a hoodie with Angelo's own design and the quality is outstanding. This place is sweet!”
