The Axe and Grind Bubble Tea and Coffee Shop

you're on watt street in schenectady, which isn't the kind of block that usually gets written up. but axe and grind sits inside the axe lounge at 2330 watt st, and that combination, bubble tea, specialty coffee, and an axe-throwing venue under one roof, is either exactly your thing or the best accidental detour you'll make this year. the bubble tea side gives you options that most coffee-only spots simply don't bother with, and the coffee program holds its own alongside it. schenectady doesn't have an overabundance of places doing both seriously. the crowd here skews local, which keeps it from feeling like a novelty act. stop in before a late afternoon session, the bubble tea drinks are the move.
