My favorite local coffee shop in Albany NY. As a NYC native, the bagels taste like NYC bagels. They have a large variety of bagels; my favorites are the cinnamon raisin, cheddar parm, and pumpernickle. It has that “chew”. The Iced Chai is delicious and my go to drink. All the flavored syrups are scrumptious; I enjoy the hazelnut and pistachio. They have rotating speciality drinks depending on the season and holdiay. The hot oatmeal is tasty if you are looking for a healthier breakfast option. The bagel breakfast sandwiches are delectable. If you love pesto, definitely add it to one of your sandwiches. The BYO lunch sandwich is a must try- a new lunch staple if you will. The baked goods including the cookies and muffins are wonderful. I have zero complaints on the service and atmosphere. It has that local coffee shop atmosphere with diffused indirect light. Great for working, reading, meeting friends, and grabbing a quick tasty bite. I have ordered catering from here as well; they are easy to work with. I highly recommend this Coffee shop.

Yes, yes, YES! A perfect bagel and coffee spot! I can’t ever say I’ve had such a perfect banana iced latte in my life! This flavor was perfect! The espresso was so smooth and creamy, and still strong! Whoever was working today did such a an amazing job! They had a big smile and helped me out with every question I had! This bagel however was 10/10! SO YUMMY and so worth the wait (which wasn’t even that long)! Trust, I need to come back up here again soon!

It is a very cutesy little coffee and bagel place with sweetest staff to help you. The service is fast and comes with a variety of options (veg and non-veg) to choose from. I went there two times and I always took the Toasted Everything Mediterranean sandwich which is exceptional. My partner tried Toasted Winner Winner Sandwich and appreciated the fresh sprouts within it. I also tried their drink of the month, Amaretto Latte which I would recommend. Did not become a fan of their chai though. But I would visit again to try different things from the menu.

I got a bagel Lox and cream cheese and I have to say it was really delicious. The bagel was extremely fresh like it was baked a few hours ago. They were very generous with the Lox as well. I really enjoyed the place overall. Definitely try their cold brew as well!

I ordered a Flying Pig on a plain bagel this morning. I specifically asked for no onions on this and the cashier (Kenneth) made sure it was on the order ticket. I opened it up and sure enough I found onion on it despite “no onion” being noted on my receipt and the order ticket. The sandwich was good, but the attention to detail in prep was not there. I’d give them another chance though as everyone was super friendly and this was only the first time there’s been an error when I’ve gone here.

Had an opportunity to checkout Uncommon Grounds, felt the experience to be fairly average. I had the Mediterranean breakfast sandwich and a peanut butter chocolate cookie.
The pros were the prices, really couldn’t complain about what you get for your money.
The cons were that I felt like the food itself wasn’t great. Didn’t really impress me or disappoint me. However, the cookie was really bad. The staff also wasn’t able to give me further details on the product when I asked questions.

Unbelievably great food and service. The feel/ vibe of the place is very nice. The bagels were very good. The employees answered all our questions gracefully and with kind regards. I would recommend going to Uncommon Grounds not only for great, affordable food but a great and memorable experience!

While visiting Albany, needed a quick bagel breakfast/coffee spot and they were delicious and quick. All employees were friendly and helpful. The same day we returned later on for coffee and lunch and had a delicious Caesar salad and what tasted like a true hom emade choc pb cookie. Coffee is smooth and so satisfying, truly enjoyed. Kudos to you Uncommon Grounds. What a pleasant change from other well-known coffee places, no names will I mention. Go get em!

Regardless of which location, they lack the minimum amount of courtesy & could only be described as taciturn – at best.
As soon as I approached the register, the server walked away – I should have left then.
Why is my vanilla latté w/ half & half, barely over a shade of milk??? It has not even a hint of vanilla and tastes akin to spoilt milk and burnt, stale coffee.
While the person who rang me up was amenable enough, upon my return to clarify, the rejoinder was had I ever had a latte before? In my 50 years on earth, why yes – even aside from Starbux & Paris, I was reared in an Italian community and frequented the No. End of Boston – have you ???
I actually went to a few of the Boston locations before relocating and whilst the overall experience was ‘meh,’ at Least my drink was palatable.
Both the drink and the service were below both Minimal & subpar.
