Fast service, best bagels and coffee with affordable prices!
Super disappointed. We love the Saratoga location. I initially was impressed with how fast our food came out. Waited another 8 mins for my coffee. (It’s busy I can get over it) people kept coming up for missing drinks, I watched one coffee sit with no lid the entire time be served right before mine after it had no steam left. Finally getting my coffee, get in the car and my bacon egg and cheese has cream cheese on it. I’ll stick with Saratoga
went there this morning to meet a friend. probably 8 to 10 people sat there with laptops plus cell phones hogging all the tables. They were eating anything... there should be a limit to how long you can sit there at a table for four with just you and your laptop. It reminded me why I don't go to Starbucks.

Uncommon Grounds Coffee & Bagels on Western Avenue offers good food, with large, voluminous bagels and a variety of options like the lox sandwich. The bagels are highly praised, especially the everything bagel, which is considered the best. Customers enjoy the brewed coffee, though some find the latte to be just so-so, possibly depending on who makes it. The atmosphere is friendly and well-maintained, creating a nice environment for visitors. The staff are friendly and efficient, providing quick service that impresses many, especially when it comes to the speed and taste of the food. However, there are some issues with toasting bagels, as requests for double or triple toasting sometimes go unfulfilled. The staff can become overwhelmed, leading to longer wait times at busy periods. Despite these minor inconveniences, the food remains good and filling, and the overall experience is positive, with many customers appreciating the welcoming staff and clean setting.
