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!

Disappointments happen. This is a precept of the human experience. Especially when it comes to the…read morepursuit of a good café. So it went, you see, in Saratoga Springs yesterday. Uncommon Grounds had all the makings of a fine sit n' sip: high ceilings, superfluous interior arches, mildly darkened aesthetic, tin ceiling tiles, and an abundance of screamin' local artistry dressing up the joint. Brothers and sisters... I was stoked about the possibility of churning out some real Aldi-grade literature at one of the chunky timber perches. I was ready for a slammin cup of joe and a sick-ish vibe. Alas, all I got from behind the counter was a jersey stuffed with caustic disdain and affected arrogance. It was impressive in that the tone, delivery, volume and words were all brilliantly matched in conveying unmistakable I-wish-you'd-get-the-flip-outta-my-space-clappery. I know the exact phrasing and such would go a long way here, but the whole dang affected setup I received from the other side of the counter would be hella exhausting to recount. And not worth my time. To be clear, my time really ain't worth all that much. Now I could go on to tell you about the rest of the experience, the quality of the bagels and the consistency of the schmear, and the tones you'll find playing throughout the house-roasted brews. But as a journeyman writer in the café world, I'm not gonna waste any more descriptors on the brat-infused tea steeping at the front of house. Why? Simply because cafés are more than the drink and grub. Cafés are as solid an offering of what culture Earth has to offer across its varied continents, countries, and street corners. They are something to engage with and experience directly. Like riding a scooter across Vietnam. Like a Moroccan food market. Like wiping volcanic ash off your hiking boots after a day's hike in Cinder Cone. If the human engagement of the place is reprehensible, then in IMHO the treats and steeps don't matter. Disappointments happen. That's for sure. But I'm only gonna spend two more sentences telling you what you probably already gathered about this place. It's slippin' baby. It's slippin'.

Had the "201" Breakfast Sandwich on ciabatta bread and it was delicious. Egg cooked perfectly, warm cheese and Taylor ham.

Finally braved the line and tried Bear's Cup (usually we eat at Sunrise Cafe across the street)…read more Given that the lines are long I'd say you can find pretty comparable things across the street at Sunrise, like ice coffee and lattes, pastries and egg sandwiches. The coffee here is a bit fancier though, that's all. But the real difference is the bagels. Bear's Cup is serving up a thick and fluffy New York style bagel. I'm not sure if you can find that anywhere else in Bolton. When my kids want a bagel and CC for breakfast it definitely makes sense to come here over Sunrise!

I was excited to try here but I felt like the bagels, aren't bagels? No chew, no yeasty flavor…read more They were kinda crumbly and oddly dense. I find this difficult to rate, they are good tasting - but not bagels so take that as you will. They are like a cross between bagels/biscuit/scone? Something weird about it. I bought a jalapeño cheddar bagel with bacon scallion cream cheese in store, and brought home 6 more various bagels. They all had the same off texture but I do like the tastes of the bagels, and they were generous with the smear of cream cheese. It's okay, but I like other places more.
