Fall is the time of year when comfort food becomes more alluring, with some tasty and tempting treats helping to warm you up on a cool autumn day. If you live in Albany, you have plenty to choose from when it comes to comfort food. Find out below where to get the best fall comfort foods in Albany.

Tanpopo Ramen and Sake Cafe

There are few more comforting dishes than a good bowl of warming noodle soup, which is exactly what the chefs at Tanpopo on Broadway provide with their take on Japanese ramen noodles. The miso ramen dish is a particular fall favorite thanks to the healthy umami flavor of miso, which warms you right up.

Cider Belly Donuts

Situated on North Pearl Street, this gem serves up some of the best donuts you’ll ever eat. Nothing quite matches the sweet warmth of the humble donut for a perfect autumnal sweet treat, and at Cider Belly, they have donut-making down to a fine art. Particularly recommended is the cinnamon sugar version, with its pleasant aroma and addictive flavor. Another fall favorite is the rum glaze, which provides a warming boozy hit that can put a spring in your step regardless of the weather.

Druthers Brewing Company

Head to Druthers on Broadway to sample some of the best mac and cheese you’ll find this side of the United States. There are other warming fall foods available, including pizza and burgers. The mac and cheese is so good here that it won first place at the annual Mac-n-Cheese Bowl.

Whether you want something sweet or savory, Albany has a great selection of comforting fall eats for you to try.
