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!

Cute breakfast spot on the tourist strip at Lake George…read more There is a dining room in the back and a to go counter in the front. The stand out for me was the Mountain of Maple Iced Latte. It was very good! Both my husband and I liked the bagels. I got an egg and cheese and he got bagel with lox cream cheese. Service was quick - staff was pleasant and made sure you knew what was up when you were talking to them. My only critique was it wasn't clear what beverage were hot or cold. When the server said my latte was iced I was psyched! My preferred! But I was prepared for hot. And did not know what it would be upon ordering it.

This was the perfect place for my needs- I ordered a bagel with cream cheese (not toasted) & my partner ordered a plain bagel toasted with jelly and butter. My partner liked his bagel. My bagel on the other hand was awful. The cream cheese tasted sweet and even chunky like cottage cheese. It was a horrible taste. It was also weird that neither of our bagels were cut in half they were left whole. I've never been to a bagel store where my bagel wasn't cut. But I'm from NYC so maybe in NY state they do it differently. The staff was very nice and efficient with our orders. If I came here again I'd love to try the coffee or the pastries. I wouldn't recommend the cream cheese at all.

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.

Fantastic Breakfast Experience!…read more My husband and I had a great breakfast here. The restaurant is bright, spacious, and comfortable -- perfect for a relaxing start to the morning.

The French toast was beautifully done. And I had the almond joy latte coffee, which came with the cutest latte art (a little bear!) that made the experience even more memorable :)

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.

The lady at the counter was very sweet to us, (two different ladies on two different visits actually). The first time we ordered two egg and cheese sandwiches. Mine was on a bagel, and literally it was the best bagel (also i have lived in NYC for years so I know a good bagel). It was so super soft on the inside and the outside was perfect. I highly recommend. We also had two maple donuts which were also so good and very filled with filling, It was so good we decided to go back the next day and eat breakfast there. Again I had the amazing bagel breakfast sandwich and we shared a ginormous cinnamon roll that was super tasty. It's small and cute and had great food. The pricing was great too. I love supporting local when I travel. I would definitely recommend!

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.

Hidden in the back of the Pine Cone Mercantile store, a business that shares both the address and…read morethe phone number, is a scratch bakery that specializes in artisanal breads. The loaves usually sell quickly, so it's best to show up early. My sister clued us in on the place and as we walked by shortly before they were closing at 4 pm on a Saturday in August, there was a tent sign outside showing a variety of breads crossed off and two remaining. Sure enough, there were not only just two flavors left in the display case, there were only two loaves. We purchased the sourdough with cherries and pecans. As we were paying for our purchase another customer came in and bought that last loaf. When we got back to my sister's house we sliced the bread to try it. It was absolutely delicious! I also understand that scones and croissants are made on the premises by the owners. My sister actually reserved some for pickup the following day. (Unfortunately, we will have left for home by then.) I did also spy a case with a variety of cheeses - next time. It's my understanding that this is a husband and wife operation. The husband makes the breads and the wife makes the scones and croissants. The wife is also responsible for the operation of the home furnishing store (Pine Cone Mercantile) that you will walk through to get to the bakery. Go ahead, just try to not be tempted to buy something in that store also as you pass through. Their Facebook page says they are open 10 am - 5 pm Thursday - Monday. However, they were closing at 4 pm the Saturday that we stopped in. I suggest calling them before going.
