Uncommon Grounds Coffee & Bagels

I live in North Carolina now. Left NY almost two years ago. I’ve tried dozens of coffee and bagel shops since coming to NC. None compare to Uncommon Grounds. I was a regular there for many years. Their coffee, lattes, bagels and other foods were always of the highest quality. Was rarely disappointed (and I’m not the easiest guy to please!). I miss that place!

I love closer to the Saratoga location and go weekly, love it. This location is closer to work for me. Grabbing to be to work early and wanting to grab coffee and a bagel should be a relatively easy task... However the Western Ave uncommon grounds states they open at 6AM (which would be perfect when I need to be at work around a similar time) but I have never once arrived and walked in the door at 6. There are always customers waiting prior to 6 that wait typically until 6:20 to go in ... Hence the decrease in stars. Besides the poor timing, staff are friendly and food/coffee are good.A little expensive for the bagel to sandwich filling ratio though.

Always one of my favorite spots to get a cup of tea and something to munch on while getting time to study. The atmosphere is quiet, plenty of seating and wifi is available. Perfect for a college student or working professional to get things done.

Great place. Line out the door. Went Sunday morning at 10am. Got the lumberjack sandwich on everything bagel with a coffee. Quick even though it was busy.

Only wish they had more options to fancy up my coffee. Can't say they don't have great coffee, because they do. But I didn't know where everything was if it was there

Coffee beans, bagels, sure.
But I just had the best cookie of my life.
Update.
The bagels are round baked bread. Over large and baked rings like the grocery store.
Mr Bakerman go to NYC and experience bagels. You need a refresher. Copying Price Chopper is wrong. Round, bread hoops are not bagels. Sad thing is, your bagels were the best around for years. Are you the new 'Bagel Baker'?
