Top Star Bakery is a pretty popular spot in Albany, especially for tradesmen on the go in the mornings or for lunch — there’s literally a queue out the door of this place around lunch time so its best to get in early if you can. You’ll find all the usual bakery goods and they do especially good slices and sandwiches, but what they’re most famous for is their country fried chicken. I heard about the chicken here before I’d ever been to Albany! Its pretty greasy but much more homestyle than fast-food joints, its a hangover fix for sure. Anyway the best thing about Top Star is the extremely super friendly little lady that is always there and will always greet you with a «hello my friend!» without fail. Its so cheap too! Its hard to buy a decent lunch for under ten bucks these days but this is one spot you really get bang for your buck.
