Uncommon Grounds Coffee & Bagels

Great little coffee shop and store. Most of the coffees they offer are organic and all are fair trade. Definitely recommend this spot!

Winner, Winner is a real winner. Best bagel sandwich I've had in a long time. Chicken salad, tomato, lettuce, provolone and onion. Friendly service too.

Not sure if I came here on a bad day, but my bagel sandwich sucked. Turkey was so dry and flavorless. I ended up eating just a bagel with mayo, lettuce, and cheese. I was excited to try this place because I've heard such great things .. but I think I'll keep going to brueggers.

Good bagels when they’re there, but the only bagels they ever have in stock are plain and everything. I love the cheddar parm bagels but they are out of stock 75% of the times I go at this location, even going at different times of day and half their racks are constantly empty. Other locations like Clifton park are full every time I go.

I recently visited the Albany location with my sister, and we were greeted by some of the most friendly employees I've been served by. They were all warm and engaging, and I immediately felt welcome. My + my sister's orders were ready very quickly even though there was a line (we were there at 2 pm on Sunday afternoon), and the food and coffee were very well done. I see why their bagels get rave reviews! Absolutely delicious, and a great portion size too for the money. The atmosphere/decor was also warm, inviting, and relaxing--perfect for my sister and I, who spent 4 hours chatting there that afternoon! Overall the place is a great spot for hanging out, grabbing a bite to eat, and even studying (many UAlbany students were there doing just that). With great food, inviting atmosphere, and friendly employees, what's not to enjoy about the place? I highly recommend.

LOVE their bagels and the employees attitude! It’s the Trader Joe’s of bagels. Highly recommend!

Always excellent! Bagels are great.

Fast friendly service. I ordered the Mediterranean Breakfast sandwich (egg, spinach, avocado, and pesto) on a pumpernickel bagel and an iced coffee. So good!

Really good bagel. Warm and soft. Long line in morning but they have an assembly line setup so it goes pretty quick. Coffee is alright.

The best coffee and bagels in the Capital Region, in my experience. If it were in the New York City, Long Island or New Jersey, I might give it a lower rating. There's a little room for improvement: The bagels could be larger and fluffier. They could be more generous with the cream cheese. There could be more vegan options offered (vegan cream cheese). I don't know if the bagels are vegan. That being said it's much better than anything else in the area. The bagels at The Bagel Factory are about as good. If I'm in the Saratoga area, I try to throw them some business as well.
