Sometimes its too overwhelming but the coffee is great and the bagels are the best in the area. Especially the pesto.

this is a REAL coffee house, not a chain where you are condemned if you have no clue what a grande is. friendly staff, great coffee, food, service and atmosphere. And you actuuallyleavet there with few dollars in your wallet.

Thought this could be a cool place to meet friends but it is very crowded and needs a different set up. Did not find the coffee or food a standout to compensate. Service was fine.

For morning coffee or tea, bagels, and a place to unwind, it doesn't get any better than this. Uncommon (as the locals call it) is a great spot all day long. The beverages and desserts are good. The bagels sandwiches are fantastic. If you're in the mood, try the bagel BLT. Super! It can be really busy, especially during the... More

I am in the area somewhat frequently to visit a local college. Most of the bagels in some areas of upstate NY are rolls cut in a circle but this place has real bagels in some nice flavors, good crust with a good selection of toppings. The coffee is great, even the decaf and the pastries I have had there... More

Just a fantastic place to go for Best voted Bagels in the area PLUS their Coffee is far better than that big chain across the street. Good place to bring friends plus they have WiFi.

Great spot on broadway in Saratoga Springs. Order your food, pay, find a table and relax. The coffee is hot and full of flavor, the bagels are delicious and there is a great selection of cream cheese or eggs to put on your bagel. There is no table service, therefore you aren't rushed at all. However, the tables don't get... More

Certainly a place where the pulse of Saratoga shows. Coffe was excellent, great home made bagels with lots of choices to smear them with. Only disappointment was the way the place was layed out for seating with large couches blocking movement in the center of the space. More thought could be given to make the space more user friendly for... More
