“Roasted Today. Every Day.”

Uncommon Grounds is a gourmet coffee and bagel shop established in 1992. Our first location opened in Saratoga Springs, N.Y. in 1992 followed by a store in Albany, N.Y. in 1997. Over the years we have grown from a quiet, single-person operation to the bustling, full-service empire we are now. Each store features slight variations on different themes, but both are built on the cornerstones of our fresh roasted coffee and homemade bagels. On any given day one can witness a variety of customers flowing through the line for one of our specialty brews of the day, to grab a quick bite to eat or to sit down for lunch with visiting family. All are welcome, all will enjoy! We invite you to stop by and see what everyone is talking about; freshly roasted coffee and homemade bagels in a unique atmosphere.
