I don’t understand why toasting a bagel and adding cream cheese is confusing for bagel shop employees. My order is never correct here and they always give you attitude when you let them know your simple order is not made correctly. I asked to have my bagel remade and an aggressive amount of cream cheese was added to my bagel out of spite. The sausage was also cold. Please do better.

The Mediterranean breakfast was delicious and fresh, and the coffee (caramel latte)was perfect- exactly the way I like it, highly recommend

4 years ago This place has one of the best chicken salad sandwiches I have ever had!! Uncommon Grounds advertises itself as a community café that specializes in fresh-roasted coffee and freshly baked bagels. The café is warm, inviting, calming with art work and a social activity hub. They have 3 locations(been to all 3) around capital district and this location in Clifton Park is the most convenient to me. The other locations include Saratoga and Albany. I ordered my chicken salad sandwich on a jalapeño bagel with tomato, lettuce, green peppers, onions and jalopenos. I try a different bagel each time and my favorite would be the everything or garlic bagel. I f I not mind their tuba bagel sandwich too but I just cant get rid of the lingering taste it leaves behind. Take your laptop, catch

★★★★☆ 4.0 Auria Red · Apr 2025

Definitely a breakfast/brunch place more than anything else. Good place to get some work done, really nice atmosphere. The salads are HUGE and very good. I got the balsamic vinaigrette with mine which had an interesting texture (thick) but tasted how it should. Standard coffee options. Bagels are really thick, but the chocolate chip cookies are perfect. Overall it’s not bad and convenient for the area.

Great ambiance in this café. The bagels are large, fresh and very flavorful. I appreciate that you can get a decent size bagel at a great price where other well known bagel shops have reduced their size while increasing prices. Their baked goods are also excellent and we've joined their coffee club and began purchasing our nags of coffee there. Excellent coffee!
