Whenever I'm traveling for work, I'm always on the lookout for spots that have:…read more 1) Great coffee 2) Great savory breakfast bites So many coffee shops nail the first count but miss on the second (lots of pastry cases but not as much savory options). Uncommon Grounds nails it on both counts and is a great spot to get a little work done to boot. Stopped by this location when I was in the area for some coffee and breakfast. I'm usually in search of sugar free options as well as milk alternatives. Uncommon Grounds had a couple sugar free options (yay! caramel and vanilla) and a few different milk alternatives. I got a caramel latte made with almond milk and it was dreamy. For my breakfast, I got the Mediterranean breakfast sandwich on a salt bagel. It came with egg, spinach, avocado, tomato, and a bit of pesto. Delicious! The only tiny thing for me was the tomato made the sandwich kinda slippery and difficult to eat so the next time I ordered it (which was literally the next day), I got it with double the spinach and no tomato. The service was really lovely and the prices are reasonable. They're a popular spot and were pretty busy when I was in and even with that everyone was so kind and helpful. Get to it!

Aside from a couple of very friendly staff, most visits are met with employees moving like they just woke up resulting in lines. Never bothers me because I usually go there to get a little work done, but it's not a place I'd go if I'm in a rush. Well to be fair, the airport team is always EXCELLENT. Here's my only negative. I just bought a dozen bagels and they were hockey pucks. I tried. Couldn't do it. Inedible. But weird because I usually grab a breakfast sandwich at their airport locations the they've been very good. Did I get a horrible batch? Idk? Seating is tight. I'm part of the problem. Lots of students. But I've also seen couples, friends, retirees, etc. not on any tech enjoying a long conversation with their group which I think is a plus. Solid 5 most visits, but those Clifton Park bagels were memorable in a not so pleasant way.

I don't claim to be a tea expert... it is more of a novel-tea for me... but I enjoyed coming here and talking with their knowledgeable staff. Their certainly have a passion for their tea! There are lots of teas in the store... at least several dozen blends behind the counter and more in other areas... and they will make whatever you want if you provide a recipe. I lean towards fruitier or spicier teas and found a couple that were interesting enough to purchase and bring home. Because more of their teas are served loose, it isn't as simple as dunking a pouch with a string in a mug of hot water. But fear not, they have lots of various tea brewing accessories along the walls of their small shop area as well as some other interesting curiosities.

The environment and the joy is why I give this cafe 4 stars. It is such a nice place to read, write, study, or play a game of cards, that I absolutely think one should come if they are not on any time schedule. If you are in a rush, do not do it. Why stress yourself? I already knew about the wait, so I was prepared. The family next to me was nonplussed. They were not aware. My chai was delicious. My egg wrap was ok. I prefer the egg to be cooked differently, so that was definitely a me thing. I will order something else next time. I have been to all three sites in the CP mall and I am impressed at how well they maintained the aesthetic of the second site.

From the moment I walked into The Tailored Tea, it was clear this wasn't just another café--it's a…read morethoughtfully designed experience centered around craftsmanship, calm, and attention to detail. The atmosphere immediately sets the tone: warm lighting, clean and intentional décor, and a sense of quiet sophistication that makes you want to slow down and stay awhile. What truly sets The Tailored Tea apart is its commitment to customization and quality. The tea selection is extensive without feeling overwhelming, and everything is presented with care and intention. Whether you're a casual tea drinker or someone who knows the difference between oxidation levels in oolong, the staff takes time to guide you toward something that genuinely fits your taste. That "tailored" aspect isn't just a name--it's the philosophy. I ordered a blended herbal tea that was recommended based on my flavor preferences, and it was exceptional: balanced, aromatic, and layered without being overpowering. You can tell the ingredients are high quality, and nothing tastes rushed or artificial. Even the presentation--the cups, the pours, the little details--adds to the sense that this place values the full sensory experience. Service deserves special mention. The staff is attentive in a calm, unhurried way that feels genuine rather than scripted. They're knowledgeable without being pretentious, and they clearly enjoy helping guests explore new flavors. It feels more like a guided experience than a transaction. The space itself is also worth highlighting. It's quiet enough for reading or working, but still inviting enough for conversation. Everything from the seating to the music contributes to a relaxed but refined ambiance. It's the kind of place where time seems to slow down in the best possible way. Overall, The Tailored Tea is more than just a tea shop--it's an experience in personalization and mindfulness. Whether you're stopping in for a quick cup or settling in for an afternoon escape, it delivers consistently on quality, atmosphere, and care. I would absolutely return and recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful, elevated tea experience.

This spot is a great quick stop for mornings…read more My wife and I stopped in a few days ago and ordered a smoothie bowl, a bagel, a smoothie, and a matcha. Overall, it was a pleasant experience. The matcha was absolutely delicious and clearly made with care -- prepared in a proper bowl and whisked with a bamboo whisk. I asked for a bit of honey, which really pulled the entire experience together. Honestly, I'd give this place a 5/5 based on the matcha alone. The smoothie bowl (I go the one that has banana, peanut butter, honey, and some other toppings) was great overall, though I did have one small complaint: there were a few large chunks of ice mixed in, and I accidentally bit into them. Aside from that, the bowl was flavorful and enjoyable. My wife ordered a smoothie, which was just okay. I didn't particularly care for it, and she unfortunately didn't end up finishing it. The service was excellent. The woman who took our order was very friendly and helpful, and she even recommended the matcha -- which turned out to be a great suggestion. One last note: we had visited this spot about a year ago, and it looks like the interior has completely changed since then. The new layout is bright and welcoming, no longer dark, and features a mostly gray palette with accent plants and furniture that bring everything together nicely. It feels much cozier than before.
