Their "system" of ordering might be confusing to a newbie, but they have provided me consistently good service and food over several years. Once, I was given what I think was a stale piece of pastry. It was immediately taken care of. Strongly recommended as an alternative to chain stores.

UNFORTUNATELY the wireless connection is hit or miss. I now go to the Fortunate Cup for coffee and wireless.

One of the things I miss most about living in Ballston Spa was my frequent visits to Uncommon Grounds. From the second you walk in and see the huge roasting machine and smell the fresh coffee beans roasting right under your nose, you know you have a little slice of heaven.

Now that I live in Southern California I am constantly searching for ...

Coofee quality is out of this world. Bagels are second to none.

This was the worst coffee I ever tasted. It had a burnt, over roasted taste to it. The service was VERY SLOW to the point I felt Ignored for the most part.

No one was left, the clerks just looked at me and they started talking to each other, I became annoyed. I am standing there with money in my hand and they won't take my order. I said HELLO AND WAVED can you take my ...

This place would make a great sociological study: find the worst espresso possible, tart the place up as a neo-hippie hangout with appropriate paintings and other furnishings (will someone get a copy of "The Bell Jar" and casually leave it on a table?!) and then watch as legions of devotees line up for the undrinkable espresso! The coffee ...
