Uncommon Grounds

Such a great spot! The staff at Uncommon Grounds are super friendly and welcoming, and the vibe is cozy and inviting. I grabbed a bagel and it was absolutely delicious—highly recommend the rosemary olive, it’s packed with flavor and so fresh. Definitely a new favorite!

Excellent service, food and coffee. Their bakery items are fresh and made the same day. The coffee is robust with a good flavor. The lentil soup with bagel chips was awesome. This is our go to now in Glens Falls.

Great New Bagel Location For Queensbury/Lake George Area! The Bagels We've Come To Love From The Capital Region Are In The Adirondacks!

I went there after hearing about how good it was. We tried the Clifton Park location a few weeks ago but it was packed. Ordering was mostly easy. I enjoyed my coffee. Deb loves the iced tea. The only issue I had and it was all me, was my delicious bagel was lopsided. Taller on one side than the other. Not the first impression I wanted but I'll definitely return.

I was traveling through on business and ran across this place! The food was tasty, I had the flying pig- it was great. The service was phenomenal!! Al was her name, and service is her game!! If I'm ever in the area again... I hope to see Al there she made my visit the best!!

I can’t say enough good things about Uncommon Grounds in Queensbury! Emily and her team went above and beyond to fulfill a very large bagel order for us on short notice, and everything was perfect. The bagels were fresh, delicious, everyone was raving about them. Emily was kind, responsive, and incredibly helpful throughout the whole process. It’s rare to find that level of service paired with such high-quality food. Huge thanks to Emily and the entire staff — you truly saved the day. Highly recommend!

There’s a review floating around here that says more about the reviewer than it does about the café. What I did see was the same thing I always see — the staff working their butts off, keeping things clean, moving fast, and being way more polite than some customers earn. The vibe here is welcoming and inclusive, which apparently confuses people who think a coffee shop should come with an American flag ceremony and a side of personal validation. If you’re scared of flags or need a conspiracy theory with your cappuccino, you might be disappointed. But if you want good food, good coffee, and good people, you’ll be just fine!

I won’t be going back to Dunkin’ anymore after finding this place! First time here and I was blown away. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, the food was excellent, and the prices were surprisingly affordable for how nice everything is. I expected it to cost more, but it’s actually a great value. Overall, an amazing experience — 10/10, highly recommend!

Uncommon Grounds is always a great place to stop, no matter which location. There is a wide selection coffee and tea that are all excellent. The bagels are the best in the area. Everything about their food and drink is outstanding. Definitely recommend!

Really great bagels and sandwiches. Yummy coffee and drinks. Great place to meet up with friends or just to have some time for yourself.

Stopped in during a road trip with my son and his girlfriend. Great food, coffee and service! We can't wait to go back when we're in the area again.

The service was incredible, fast, kind and the food was delicious. We ordered a latte, two smoothies (mixed berry and strawberry banana) and a salad. Would recommend for a delicious lunch or breakfast for a family!

They have awesome bagels and coffee! We placed a large order for our wedding and had everything ready day of no issues. Everything tasted great and was fresh, highly recommend!

Love going there it is a very welcoming place. Just had my grandkids visiting, ages 3,4 and 8, and they loved it there. They wanted to go every morning. The employees are friendly, the food is great and the atmosphere is wonderful even the other customers are extremely nice.

Love going here after the gym for a recovery sandwich or just a coffee when I'm out and about. AK of the Uncommon Grounds sites I've been to have been consistently great. I'm glad that they opened one up here!

Great coffee, great bagels, great staff. Always a busy place, possibly the most popular in the area. There's all kinds of seating with couches, tables, booths and a big outdoor area. Regardless of how busy they are, there are always enough employees to compensate. The western bagel is my favorite and its such a pleasure to read there after the morning rush dies down - very nice decor with their own coffee bean machine! Check out the picture. I cant be witty here so ill give you the cheese. It's unCOMMONly good. Changed my review after a couple bad interactions with a rainbow mohawk wearing person. Not necessarily rude, but quick and not friendly. What made me change the review was how the person put my coffee on the counter quickly, causing a bit to spill out. If they were busy i would have thought nothing of it.

I absolutely love this place. The coffee, food and employees are great! Just wish they'd get a reliable toaster. Seems like every other week their toaster is broken. Maybe start a GoFundMe with all the customers to buy a new one 😄

This is a cute place. I’ve been many times to the Saratoga and Albany locations. Customer service was ok, scone was mediocre and my sugar free vanilla latte was so-so, the syrup had a very unusual taste. One think that sticks out for me is the cleanliness of the place and bathroom. The bathroom soap was out of dispenser to the side of sink, the counter had water all over them and the hand dryer had an out of order sign on it and no paper towels in sight. The two boths to sit in had out of order signs on them as well. I would try again because their bagels looked great.

I've been going to the Saratoga location for years and getting the 'Winner Winner' chicken salad sandwich although this one was a bit of a let down. Usually it's a decent portion of chicken salad but it seemed there was very little chicken and twice the amount of veggies in comparison. It was the first time I was still hungry afterwards so I mentioned it to a staff member who said they could have used 1 scoop and not 2, asked if I wanted another one I said sure assuming it was an honest mistake. When she asked me to pay I was confused , she grabbed a manager who said that's their usual portion and offered me half off another sandwich. For a $9 sandwich it looks sad. They should call it the Sprout sandwich with a smear of chicken salad. I just bought a bagel with cream cheese instead.. The sitting area was covered in crumbs from the couches to the floor and they eventually made their way around to sweeping it. I feel like the Saratoga location is a lot more attentive and friendly to their guests but I'll give it another go in hopes it's better next time.

Ordered a breakfast sandwich for eat in and some baked goods to go. The spinach on the sandwich had slimey spots in it. The egg from the sandwich slipped out of the sandwich- would not have been a problem if it had been on a plate, but it slipped off the paper wrap onto a table that was questionably clean. Coffee was good apart from the grinds floating around. Could hear many loud complaints from staff about having to clean. Saratoga location is completely different- clean, attention to customer-more attention to food details- totally different experience in the two places- too bad .

Interesting atmosphere complete with a pride flag. Good amount of cross contamination, plenty of hair to be found in your food along with inattentive staff. Hair nets, hats or something to restrain the hair from finding its way to the food. The American flag is pretty inclusive... Maybe find a spot for that? What does sexual identity and everything else have to do with coffee? Outside of the hair in food, cross contamination (raw eggs shouldn't find cross contamination to anything...) and poor service and weird atmosphere and it's a typical hippie-dippie mid price coffee place. Can't see myself going back.
