Absolutely phenomenal. The bagel sandwiches are large portion and delicious. We got the "Lumberjack" on cheddar parm and one on everything. Coffee was delicious and they have all kinds of milk. I was pleasantly surprised that the coffee wasn't too sweet (I had a caramel latte). Overall great experience!

With a very pleasant and helpful staff, great tasting food. (I got the healthy harvest) I absolutely love coming to any uncommon grounds anytime I'm remotely near one. I absolutely recommend if your looking for a quality affordable breakfast/brunch you absolutely cannot go wrong coming here. Doesn't quite have the casual atmosphere the Albany location has, but is certainly lovely on the inside. I prefer the order and then move on down to the register that the Albany location has as well. All that said I can't wait to return to this location or really any location they currently have or open in the future..

My wife and I had to decide on catering last minute for an event with over 100 people and we called Uncommon Grounds on a Saturday around noon fully understanding how last minute this was and we were willing to go to multiple locations if needed to get the amount of bagels we needed. But the Clifton Park location had it all ready for us 2 hours later along with a whole bunch of cream cheese. They were so well received at the event! I knew that most bagel places sell what they had made that day until the are out and did not expect them to be able to make all of these bagels fresh so fast! Thank you all so much. And everyone we interacted with was so nice. Someone even helped us bring the bagels out to our car.

I had ordered a coffee from a young lady with a pleasant smile. The coffee came quickly and tasted wonderful. The place was rather packed, but that's not "Uncommon" for this location. Plan ahead if you're intention is to sit in and eat.

Came to grab a coffee and it was probably one of the best I've had in Clifton park. Fantastic service and I heard several people speaking about how good the food is. Definitely going to have to come back.

This is an awesome breakfast place. Love everything about this place. The coffee is great and the breakfast sandwiches are excellent. My favorite is the Mediterranean sandwich on everything bagel. The bagels are huge and very tasty. Usually has quite a few people in the morning. This place also has good seating both indoor and outdoor. The staff is really friendly and service was quick. Impressed by the quick service. I highly recommend the place.

Their coffee is just okay in my opinion, and while it seems like many people enjoy the food, I'm gluten free so can only speak for the coffee. The employees are always friendly, but this particular location isn't large enough to handle the number of customers coming through, and the parking is horrendous.

They need to have a better system, or really any system, for handling long lines. I’ve now been here twice where there are 30+ people in line. The issue is there is never someone consistently ringing people up. Someone will ring up a customer, then walk away. So you’re now front of the line, but it’s another 5+ minutes before you’re even able to order. We waited almost an hour for two bagels and a drink. That seems insane. Also the staff who works the coffee side (I had no issue with the food side. They were fast and clean) is always touching their hair or scratching themselves then making the drinks. Also they were not friendly. I’ve been here twice now and never felt welcomed. The coffee is good, the bagels are good, but the staff issues and the lines make me want to go elsewhere. There are two other bagel places in this area, they’re gonna lose customers if they don’t fix these issues.

I’ve always enjoyed Uncommon Grounds at their other locations, but unfortunately the Clifton Park spot consistently falls short. The food and coffee are the same quality as you’d expect at the other locations, but the service here is noticeably worse compared to Albany, Empire State Plaza, Albany International Airport and Saratoga locations. The young staff always seems disorganized, slow, and not particularly in any sort of rush. It’s disappointing, because I know how good this brand can be elsewhere. Hopefully management takes steps to bring the Clifton Park location up to the same standard as the others.

My family and I wanted lattes and hot chocolate but Starbucks was closed. We walked into the Clifton Park Uncommon Grounds around 7pm (cafe was set to close at 8pm). Espresso machines were cleaned and off since 5pm because, something along the lines of there not being enough business to justify keeping them up and running all day, and I was only about 1 of 10 customers who had stopped in during that time frame. I responded by saying that's 10 customers that were turned away and pissed off. The 11th and 12th person walked in behind me and were turned away. This is a coffee shop (as determined by the cafe name) that didn't have coffee and is missing out on its market since there seems to be a lack of coffee shops open in the evening/night in the CP area.

The bagel tasted okay and I think it's a better bagel than on Uncommon Grounds even though it's much smaller and more expensive. But I ordered my bagel to be toasted dark and it was not delivered to me dark, so therefore I am rating it a 2 because the management obviously can't communicate effectively to the tattooed staff making up the bagel, and this is a No-No, so I will no longer try this place in Clifton Park. It was the first time at this Bruegger's in Clifton Park, I used to go to the one in Saratoga but that closed down years ago and seemed better managed.

They seemed to be moving at a good pace considering how busy it was. The miel (honey and cinnamon) latte was good, but I do wish it had more of a honey flavor to it. I guess I should have checked my food order before I left. Didn’t realize until I got to work in Albany that my Lox of Love had no cream cheese on it, even though that’s distinctly listed as part of it on the menu. Sigh.

I want to share a very disappointing experience I had at the Clifton Park location. Normally, the store is busy in the mornings, so I was surprised to find no line. Despite several employees being behind the counter, I was ignored for six minutes—no greeting, no acknowledgment, not even a simple “I’ll be right with you.” Instead, they continued chatting amongst themselves. When someone finally addressed me, I was told the oven was down and that they could not sell me a dozen bagels, even though the bins were full. I asked what the difference was between selling me a dozen bagels versus twelve individual customers buying one each, but no explanation was given. I then requested to speak with the manager, who had been standing nearby the entire time but offered no assistance. He also could not provide any explanation. I even asked if I could purchase twelve bagels on twelve separate receipts, but was told no. I explained that I am a frequent customer who regularly buys dozens of bagels each week, primarily at the Albany location. During this exchange, an employee named Madeline—who was not part of the conversation—interjected and told me to go to Bruegger’s or West End, adding that Uncommon Grounds “does not want a customer like me.” When I asked her name, she replied, “Madeline, and don’t forget it!” Her behavior was extremely rude, unprofessional, and her dreadlocks and belly hanging out was completely inappropriate for someone representing the company. I left feeling frustrated and disrespected. Even though it was a frustrating situation, I treated everyone there with courtesy, but that respect was not returned. As a loyal customer of this local business, I find it troubling that anyone would be spoken to in such a manner. I have since taken my business elsewhere.
