I've passed by this place for YEARS and have no idea why. It's probably because I only indulge in a…read morebagel (or two) only once in a while. 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.

Continue to be disappointed with this location. The place is only a few years old at this point but…read morethe seats in the booths are all beat up, the tables are never cleaned and the floors under the tables is disgusting. Caked on grime and food everywhere on the floors. The bathrooms smell and they are filthy pretty consistently. Today's order was packaged to go but we were eating in. The person at the counter did not ask. The bagel sandwich my wife got had hardly no chicken salad in it and my bagel had minimal cream cheese. The food is incredibly inconsistent at this location. My latte was overly sweet and I couldn't drink it. We've tried to give them a chance to improve because the staff is very nice but plenty of other options in town.

I've avoided Starbucks during the strike and it hasn't been pleasant. At least I'm gathering…read moreevidence in case I wind up in a podcast debate with one of those lamestains who thinks saying "Charbucks" is a brilliant anti-capitalist quip. 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.

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.

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.
