Uncommon Grounds Coffee & Bagels
402 Broadway, Saratoga Springs, NY
Crema's Take
“This Saratoga Springs gem strikes that rare balance between serious coffee craft and genuinely welcoming hospitality, with a team that greets you with actual warmth even at dawn. The espresso and pour-over drinks are expertly executed, but what keeps people coming back multiple times in a single week is the combination of those oversized, craveable bagels and a laid-back atmosphere that's equally suited to lingering with a laptop or catching up with friends. It's the kind of place where the quality of the coffee and pastries matches the quality of the human connection you'll have while ordering.”

Overall great vibe. Every member of the team that we interacted with were SO friendly - the girl at the front desk was even bantering with us (despite it being very early in the morning - kudos!). Even the guy just passing us our bagels or making coffees in the background had great service towards us. Coffee was very good, and they fill it a very generous amount. With the milk, I actually got almost a second cup's amount of coffee to take with me to go - so I got more than I bargained for. Fair prices too. Cream cheese was good enough (not the best i've had), and our friend got a salt bagel that he couldn't finish due to it being too much. I got a cinnamon raisin bagel and it was very very good. Would 10/10 go again!
I fell in love with Uncommon Grounds Saratoga! I visited three times in just three days because everything here is perfect - from the incredible coffee to the fresh, flavorful bagels. The atmosphere has a charming vintage vibe that makes you want to sit, relax, and enjoy every moment. I especially loved the White Chocolate Hot Latte and vanilla cafe latte- rich, smooth, and absolutely delicious. The café also has a historic and cozy feel that truly stands out in Saratoga Springs. A must-visit spot for anyone looking for great coffee, great food, and great ambiance. Highly recommended!
I have come here twice over the past couple days. The first time I ordered a plain bagel (they were out of salt) with vegetable cream cheese and a pumpkin latte off the special menu. The bagel was good, but the latte was very sweet! I came back and ordered a salt bagel with vegetable cream cheese and an iced vanilla latte with cold foam. I had no idea the salt bagel would be completely covered in salt! If I knew I wouldn’t have ordered it. I had to scrape it off. The latte was amazing. I would definitely come back if I lived here for a plain bagel with vegetable cream cheese and the vanilla latte!
Once you try Uncommon Grounds, you'll understand why its such a popular anytime of the day coffee spot. Their bagels are huge and to die for and the coffee, well, of course its delicious. They have many choices for breakfast sandwiches, as well as a case full of baked treats including discontinued, cookies, scones, muffins and more. You can also by bags of coffee as well as bagels to enjoy at home!
In Saratoga this week for show and googling places for breakfast… so we want this morning. Great delicious bagel!! Didn’t try the coffee today but will be back tomorrow for more bagel sandwich and will order drinks also. Edit: came back for 2 more mornings 🤣 tried different bagel sandwich and espresso drinks.
