Capitol Melts Introduces Enhanced Menu

As of September 10, 2018, Capitol Melts (136 State Street) is now serving an enhanced menu in addition to the grilled cheese cafe's regular offerings. Customers will now find their usual favorites under the "Classic Grilled Cheese" banner, and the restaurant has added Smoked Gouda as a new classic.

In addition to the classics, Capitol Melts has added two new categories: "Signature Melts," which includes the Macaroni & Cheese, Chicken & Waffles, and Chicken Parmesan Melts and "Grilled Deli Melts," which includes the top-three best selling weekly specials from this past summer: the Cuban (Pork & Ham), the CM Cristo (Ham & Turkey), and a Turkey Club Melt.

Because another weekly special - the Burger Melt - was extremely popular over the summer, they decided to keep it on the menu as its own category. According to Capitol Melts, their Burger Melt is the only quick-service burger available in downtown Albany. Both the Burger Melt and the Grilled Deli Melts are served with chips & a pickle. Tater-tots can be substituted for a $1.00 upcharge and you can also add a soda for $1.00.

For those looking for a lighter melt option, a side salad is available on its own or with a 1/2 of a Classic Melt or a cup of soup. You can also now get a 1/2 of a Classic Melt and a cup of soup.
