Absolutely phenomenal. The bagel sandwiches are large portion and delicious. We got the "Lumberjack" on cheddar parm and one on everything. Coffee was delicious and they have all kinds of milk. I was pleasantly surprised that the coffee wasn't too sweet (I had a caramel latte). Overall great experience!

I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of coffee here and the amazing bagel selections! Opted for just a mocha this time, definitely coming back to try a bagel. Loved reading my book on their outdoor tables.

I like to do a plain latte to get a sense of the quality of the coffee when visiting new places - it was amazing! Also got an everything bagel which they LOADED up with veggie cream cheese. Very good! The service was quick and friendly too.

Very consistent with their other two locations. To me, it wasn't as busy as the other two, so the customer service was a little better and friendlier because they don't have to just push you through. Looks very much like the original location near UAlbany and lots of space to study or remote work.

With a very pleasant and helpful staff, great tasting food. (I got the healthy harvest) I absolutely love coming to any uncommon grounds anytime I'm remotely near one. I absolutely recommend if your looking for a quality affordable breakfast/brunch you absolutely cannot go wrong coming here. Doesn't quite have the casual atmosphere the Albany location has, but is certainly lovely on the inside. I prefer the order and then move on down to the register that the Albany location has as well. All that said I can't wait to return to this location or really any location they currently have or open in the future..

It was very busy on an August Friday morning but it ran like a well oiled machine. Employees all quick, efficient and friendly enough. I got a large pistachio latte and jalapeño cheddar bagel with lots veggies cream cheese. Both delicious! I luckily got one of the few comfy cheers in the joint and took my time reading and sipping my latte for an hour or so. No one made me feel rushed despite how busy it was. Will definitely return!

Have been to four of their locations, and they have all been outstanding. Best bagel and breakfast sandwiches in the Capital District. Coffee also outstanding. Don't be intimidated by a line, their staff does a great job of moving traffic through without sacrificing quality.
