The 87-year-old woman lost control of her red Hyundai Sonata about 1.45pm on Monday while travelling towards Young Street.
Her car veered onto the wrong side of the road, hit a parked car, and came to a stop on the footpath near the Paleo Cafe.
The business closed last week, and there were no pedestrians in the area at the time of the incident.
Albury Chief Inspector Kim Sorensen said the matter would be referred to Roads and Maritime Services.
“They will be looking at her fitness to drive,” he said.
“Everyone has a responsibility to stop driving if they’re not fit to drive.
“The best time to stop is when you feel that you’re not 100 per cent.
“It’s always easier for a person to stop driving from their own decision, rather than waiting for the authorities to make the decision for you.”
No-one was injured during the incident.
The car hit the window of the building but did not shatter the glass.
Police said they would not take action against the woman, but her licence would be reviewed.
