Schenectady’s Ambition café to undergo structural, aesthetic upgrades | The Daily Gazette SECTIONS Shares0 SCHENECTADY — Ambition Coffee and Eatery is gearing up for an upgrade. Owner Marc Renson said the plan is improvement of existing space rather than expansion into new space. He said the project will create a second-floor balcony, but didn’t want to disclose other details. Some aspects, he said, haven’t even been decided. “I don’t have a look of the place yet,” Renson said. “I see it on the blueprint, but I don’t know. I have to feel it in my soul.” Whatever the visual changes, the bistro’s Hollywood theme will endure, he added.
