"Ambition has been part of the heart of Schenectady since before the city's turnaround. A unique gay cafe that looks like a hole in the wall from a big city. The staff has always been relaxed and friendly. It's remarkable how they manage it year after year. The food is great too. Soups, salads, and sandwiches that have always been my go to for lunch. Several parking lots within a block or two. If you don't need fancy but still want good, I can't think of a better recommendation. Even the whistling kettle a couple of doors down isn't as good."
