Uncommon Grounds Coffee & Bagels

One of the few places you can get a decent bagel in Upstate NY. Its almost impossible to get a table at lunch time which is hard to believe given the huge seating areas. Reasonably priced menu with delicious soups and sandwiches.

Had to share a core memory acquired at this cozy and warm establishment! The barista handling my order was incredibly kind. She watched me struggle with whether or not to order whipped cream on the DELICIOUS iced mocha and helped me make the choice by encouraging me to live my best life and enjoy my beverage. She then came back and had this gorgeous beverage covered in sprinkles and chocolate syrup to boot. My whole day was made. That is the kind of atmosphere I would come back here for time and time again.

Decent array of bagels and spreads. Apparently they can't toast bagels. Bagels taste like the pretzels you buy at ballparks and are very doughy. Mediocre at most. The jalapeno bagels are very light with jalapenos and don't live up to their name. They don't have jalapeno cream cheese by the way. Depends on your palate if you want a bagel that tastes doughy, heavy and like a ball park pretzel. That's the jalapeno bagel allegedly toasted. Yep.

The best bagels ever hands down!!!! I have tried many bagel shops and nothing compares to Uncommon Grounds!!!! The staff is always very friendly and takes care of everyone in a timely fashion even when they are really busy.

Food is always great here. Breakfast sandwiches are to die for. Always a line unless it is super early but usually moves pretty quick. Great coffee (per the coffee drinkers in my family) but I love that they have other great options like hot cocoa and warm cider.

BEST bagel sandwich & latte 5/5 days!!!

When I travel, I always seek out a place of refuge to hole up and do a little writing - Uncommon Grounds was my spot in Saratoga, winning me over with an epic latte on day one. I stuck around long enough to grab a bagel sandwich for lunch, and everything was fresh and wonderful.

The honey mustard is the spicy gem on the fresh-baked bagel and fillings - be sure to get some!

So convenient to walk from my hotel for my morning latte, I did so each day of my trip, and bought a pound of beans for a thank-you for our dog-sitter to share the love.

Coming from a bagel lover and New Yorker - I have to admit the bagels here are very very good! The bagels are crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. I got a sausage egg and cheese on a poppy seed and my husband got the menu item with similar items and maple syrup on it- both amazing! We ended up coming here 2 or 3 more times for coffee and tea. Coffee was the best we had in Saratoga springs! So smooth and delicious. The chai tea was also great! The crowd reflects how good the food is!!!

Got latte and wished I chose to enjoy a simple cup of coffee. Don’t get me wrong, latte was delicious, but I could smell and taste the coffee flavor that would’ve been so good just by itself. On a side, we got cookies. Very sweet, but still awesome.

Been stopping here for last 8 years once or twice a year for coffee and/or bagels/breakfast which all are excellent.
It's a comfortable place but CLEAN the bathroom! It is always filthy!

Great spot for a 🥯 and ☕. Quick service with great seating inside and out. I had an egg sandwich with bacon on a plain bagel and was super tasty with great flavor. Service is pretty good, can take a bit to get order but it wasn't too long. Coffee grinder right there is cool to see and you know it's fresh ☕
