I'm always skeptical about bagels this far outside NYC, but these are VERY close to passing as downstate morsels. I had a sesame bagel with lox spread...a very generous amount of it. So I went back up to the counter to grab a toasted egg bagel ....can't have leftover lox spread go to waste! Great reviews on the cinnamon raisin bagel. Coffee was excellent. The folks behind the counter were pleasant and hustling. We picked up a cannoli and an eclair...there are lots of other great looking baked goods to choose from (I had a smidge of self control at least). The eclair was huge and delicious. So was the cannoli. I will absolutely go back when I need a bagel fix.

I've been waiting since Memorial Day to try this bagel place. I tried several times at their old…read morelocation but they were never open or out of bagels. Hopefully they are more successful in LAke George. So my husband went this morning. There were very few choices of flavors. I had a poppy seed bagel, which is never my first choice (what was my husband thinking?) and it was just OK. I'm from Long Island, so I know a good bagel. It didn't have the "chew" I expect from a good bagel and it was really quite sweet. I'll try them again and up date my thoughts. There are better bagels out there.

I'm back once again, to try their sourdough bagels that they're known for. I've always liked their…read moresourdough baguettes and bread so I was sure that their bagels would not disappoint. Their friendly staff bagged up my everything bagel, onion as well as sesame bagel. When I got them home, I was pleasantly surprised to see how sizable and well seasoned they happened to be. They were crisp with a nice chew as well as soft on the inside. Absolutely delish and I will be back for more!

Great flavor and great texture; and, I appreciate that they use organic ingredients. I actually wouldn't eat there if they didn't. The bagels are honestly amazing. They are the only bagels I will eat because they are organic sourdough (it's the only non-gf I'll eat). They are crispy on the outside and soft and chewy on the inside, just how a bagel should be! Whenever I've ordered a bagel and cream cheese (which is more than a dozen times), they've always been very generous with the cream cheese, which I appreciate! They've also got more than just bread. They sell some local gifts and things: flowers, crocheted items, little crafts, chocolates, etc. Their cookies are soooooooo delicious. We always get at least one to enjoy after we eat our bagels. :-) There is a small sandwich menu (no hot items though - like no hot egg sandwiches, just egg salad). They also serve hot coffee! One tip: Go early. They often sell out of bagels and treats, especially on the weekends! It's just a really solid spot with really good food! Definitely worth checking out! We drive 25 minutes just to enjoy their bagels, bread, and treats!!

It's definitely a decent size Italian deli in the heart of Saratoga. While you can't get everything that you'd get downstate in a pork store you can definitely get your fix of fresh mozz here. They also have a few tables you can eat your food at too which is a nice touch. Side note: I wish more Italian delis would do this around here (I love you guys at Dom's in NHP but sitting at Dom's I think would be awesome!) We opted to split a hero which was massive might I add of salami, fresh mozz, roasted peppers with EVOO & balsamic.

But if I lived in Saratoga Springs, UG seems like a worthy successor. I can't comment on their vast bagel stash - poutine and fried chicken is enough for the day - or their beverages beyond the enjoyable caramel vanilla coffee. But I can praise the infrastructure. The line looked intimidating but they kept it moving. Since my biggest gripe for non-Starbucks purveyors is the lack of a condiment bar I was impressed by the options here like simple syrup and almond and oat milk.

Always love the atmosphere and has been my favorite coffee shop for 30 years…read more Service is always wonderful, fast and efficient. Where things are frustrating is (1) the pricing for gluten free options (2) lack of gluten free options. Patrons have to get creative to accommodate a low-glycemic index diet or a gluten free diet. Almost every single soup has gluten now a days. There was a time when soups were the only gluten free option. They've raised the price of a side of grilled chicken to $8.00, which is insane for 3 oz of chicken. That equates to roughly $32 a lb for chicken. The menu says $3.15 to "add chicken" to a salad, so I'm not entirely sure what the big deal of adding it to a bowl of soup is any different? I'm paying $6.99 for a soup and a salad is $7.25. I'm happy to pick out the pasta in the soups, but to not add chicken for $3.15 as if it were a salad is a line that is frustrating. Not a fan of the salads due to the diningware they elect to put them in. The bowls are wabbly and are often filled to the gill, so people like myself who cut their salad have difficulty enjoying their salad as it falls on the table more than staying in the bowl. Giving an honest review in hopes that ownership will take this into consideration. Finding myself coming here less as it gives me anxiety coming and trying to think of what I can actually eat.

They did mention that there was some construction going on (July 2025), so maybe the situation is different normally. We had an iced coffee and a banana cream cold brew. The banana cream cold brew was too sweet for my taste, but it was delicious. I thought the iced coffee was good. We both had "the 201" (which is pork roll, egg, and cheese) one on a roll and one on an everything bagel. +1 for having pork roll this far north and outside of New Jersey. The everything bagel was absolutely slammed with everything bagel seasoning. It was a good bagel for the area but not quite up to perfect NJ/NYC bagels (it was a little too airy). If you are not a bagel snob this is a great bagel. I had an almond croissant as well. It was very big but the layers had really separated so it didn't have the flakiness you'd like from a croissant. Prices are high, but the entire town is basically "resort captive" and almost all of the businesses rely on seasonal vacationers to survive so...support local small businesses!
