Uncommon Grounds Coffee & Bagels
9 Clifton Country Rd, Saratoga Springs, NY
Crema's Take
“This bustling Saratoga Springs institution has earned its reputation as a Capital District favorite for exceptional bagels and breakfast sandwiches that keep locals returning across all four of their locations. The skilled espresso work and thoughtfully crafted specialty drinks arrive quickly despite the perpetual crowd, thanks to a genuinely friendly staff that moves with practiced efficiency even during morning rushes. Whether you're grabbing coffee solo or settling in with friends, Uncommon Grounds strikes that rare balance between a quick caffeine pit stop and a welcoming spot where you'll actually want to linger.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused. A slow-sit, quick-grab spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Family friendly.
