ALBANY, N.Y. (NEWS10) -- Pioneer Plaza will celebrate the soft opening of a new coffeehouse on Saturday, October 11. From 7 a.m. to 3 p.m., Amped Coffee House will serve up its full menu of healthy comfort foods for breakfast and lunch.

From coffee and tea to made-to-go breakfast and lunch options, Ampted Coffee House's menu features fresh salads, sandwiches, soups, and gluten-free spätzle mac and cheese that are made with fresh and local ingredients. Owner Sydney Gile said her passion for coffee began when she was delivering lattes while pursuing her master's degree.

"We’re proud to serve Utopian Coffee, which I first discovered while going to school in the Midwest," Gile said. "It’s the best coffee I had out there, and I’m so excited to bring it to the Capital Region." • Outside Ampe
