Yogurt with granola
Olivia S.

This coffee shop had seating in the front and back and a table or two outside on the sidewalk. The sunlight poured in through the front window - a quintessential coffee shop warmth. The lattes came in large cups (and offered to-go cups as well). There were light breakfast options - all of which were good. I especially liked the ginger lemon scone.

Specialty latte with maple syrup, cardamom and cinnamon and egg sandwich
Jane B.

Service was excellent. The breakfast sandwich appeared small BUT was extremely filling AND SO GOOD! Highly recommend! Coffees were excellent!

We checked our Origin Coffee during our day in Saranac Lake. When we got there, there was a large line out the door. It seemed to be moving, so we waited in it. The whole time we were at the restaurant, the line was persistent! We got a sweater weather latte, the breakfast burrito, and the biscuit sandwich. The latte was truly amazing, one of the best we've had in a long time. The breakfast burrito was similarly incredible (likely the best we've had on the east coast!). The biscuit fell a bit flat, but wasn't bad at all. I see why this place is highly rated, huge fan!

Sweater weather latte
Kimberly C.

I had the sweater weather latte, which was delicious. My husband had Vietnamese iced coffee, which was rich and flavorful. Our breakfast sandiwches were great. Service was quick, and we enjoyed sitting in the bright nook in the back. Definitely recommend coming here!

All three kinds of panini were delicious. It's so delicious that I recommend it. I went there three times in a week.

Cortado
Craig G.

Simply put, one of the best coffee places there is! Always look forward to starting my day with a perfectly made Cortado whenever I am in Saranac Lake. Friendly staff turning out excellent drinks with a smile, even when slammed!! Great breakfast/lunch menu is you need more than just coffee.

Sweater Weather Latte
Daphne Y.

Came here for coffee before our snow activity for the day. I got the sweater weather latte. It had maple, cinnamon, cardamon. It was a perfect warm drink for winter (or anytime really). sweet but not too sweet. Beautiful latte art as well. My fiance got the congo pour over. He said it was bold and delicious. Cute little place with a few tables. We dined in with our coffees and they brought them out in mugs. It wasn't crowded for 845am on a Saturday. Most people who came in seemed to be grab and go. Would definitely go back next time we're in town.

Hot oat milk and honey matcha
Donna R.

Stopped in for a light breakfast. Had honey & oat milk matcha and avocado toast. Both were very good. Hubby had a red eye (coffee w/shot of espresso). Limited seating and when a table did open up the party left their dishes on the table...maybe a sign reminding people to clear their own table would be helpful. Overall coffee, food, and service are very good and I would recommend.

Breakfast sandwich and smoothie
Maeve M.

Cute coffee shop with a decent breakfast menu and space for seating. The biscuit breakfast sandwich was 10/10 delicious! Hot and fresh and the biscuit tasted homemade. The smoothie left something to be desired but everyone who got coffee was very happy!

A delightful coffee shop in the heart of Saranac Lake, Origin excels because it combines cheerful ambiance with quality food and drinks. Their oat matcha honey latte is among the better matchas I've ever had, and their vegan breakfast sandwich is good. My only complaint is that the vegan sandwich is only vegan if you remove mayo and cheese -- just take it all the way and start carrying vegan versions of those both! Their breads were very good; my sandwich was on sourdough, and my mom's had focaccia. They were fresh and not dry in the slightest. I appreciated how Origin had a couple of levels and diverse types of seating. The baristas were cool and knew what was up. They use Oatly. I can't say enough good things.

Origin coffee and the kitchen

Great place for coffee and cozy drinks. The food is light breakfast fare prepared by a chef that knows flavor. Small dishes that fill the soul and hunger. Try the Carrot Coconut Bisque! They have wonderful gluten free options too.

A beautiful coffee shop in downtown Saranac with so much fun seating options, a fun seasonal menu, and delicious lattes. This was one of the best lattes I've ever had - smooth and delicious! And the staff working the counter were so welcoming and friendly. The ambiance here is very inviting and I will definitely return!

Avocado toast~

Fresh, tasty food. Great coffee and atmosphere. Small seating areas, so you may have to wait for a table. See my photo of yummy avocado toast! Artful and good.

Adorable little coffee shop. Their signature lattes are exotic and not something you can find just anywhere. Their breakfast is all amazing.

High quality coffee in Saranac Lake. Equal to what you find in a good local Seattle location. The barista takes pride in her work!

Went here for brunch on Sunday with my husband and a friend who was in from out of town…read more The restaurant was somewhat busy but there was only one waitress. We waited awhile until she came with water and took our order. We asked some questions about ingredients in some of the dishes and she wasn't quite sure about that. My friend and I ordered iced coffee and the waitress came back and said they were out of ice. Huh? Strange but true. Needless to say we had hot coffee and she was sweet and comped our coffees. We ordered a piece of the quiche of the day which was artichoke/gruyere and was delicious! We left no crumbs!My husband had the spinach/gruyere cheese crepe which was pretty good. I had the eggs Benedict without potatoes (my friend had it with) which basically took the place of the starch that the eggs sit upon. I thought the potatoes would be served as a side and an English muffin would be on the bottom - wasn't mentioned but I enjoyed nonetheless. Will definitely go back because the food was delicious. They just need some more staff to be more attentive.

Pricey but good food. Very bad service. We were seated on time but it took 30…read moreminutes before our drinks arrived. Another 45 minutes or more before dinner finally arrives. I had to go and find the waiter to order dessert and then another search later to get the check. After another 15 minutes I had to go inside and stand visibly at the bar so I could get the transaction completed. This was for a dinner over $125. Ridiculous.
