Uncommon Grounds Coffee - Albany

Love it!. Best cafe/bagel shop I've been to in Albany. I love their many options. Had a turkey and pesto sandwich yesterday and it was delicious. Also had a Caesar salad with bacon and cucumber which was great! The chicken in the chicken salad is a little disappointing and they run out of everything bagels pretty often. The bagels are a little tough but I think that is what people expect here in NY. I enjoy going there and am always trying new things.

OUTSTANDING FOOD SERVICE. I highly recommend the food, soup, and coffee and will return here as often as I can. I had the chipotle sweet potato soup, pumpernickel bagel and the Timor organic coffee ... as a result I simply HAD to purchase a pound of the Timor coffee to take home! Thank you Mike for your brilliant coffee suggestion on a BOLD, SMOOTH coffee to try! You totally nailed it buddy!

Great little place. I live near here for years but never went in and wish I had earlier. The chicken salad is so delicious and there is so much fresh toppings for you to pick to go on your bagel...which is my ONLY complaint is that i wish they offered more than a bagel (wraps/sandwhiches etc)

This Barista takes your breath away. A quick big THANK YOU to the perky young lady barista who seemed like she was on her 30th cup of coffee when she offered to help me and answered my questions about specific brews and suggested and fully described other coffees that were more closely aligned with what I described I liked and was excited with my interest in a bean that she had just happened to have French pressed in her own French press that she brings to work because she loves her job so much and from which she offered me a sample while it was siting on a table with two other customers who seemed surprised as she poured my sample and then asked me what I thought of it (me making the sound of taking a deep breath !<br/ <br/ Coffee Excellent! <br/ (Bolivian Fair Trade <br/ Service TBKHB<br/ (This Barista Knows Her Beans <br/ Don't overlook her... she's not very tall. ;

Best coffee shop in the area. The staff are friendly. They don't chisel their customers. Their coffee is great. Their soups, bagels, and bar cookies are good. Don't touch their muffins unless you have a severe sugar deficiency.
