About

Uncommon Grounds is a series of gourmet coffee and bagel shops established in 1992. Our first location opened in Saratoga Springs, N.Y. in 1992 followed by a store in Albany, N.Y. in 1997.

Over the years we have grown from a quiet, single-person operation to the bustling, full-service empire we are now. Each store features slight variations on different themes, but both are built on the cornerstones of our fresh roasted coffee and homemade bagels.

On any given day one can witness a variety of customers flowing through the line for one of our specialty brews of the day, to grab a quick bite to eat or to sit down for a lunch with visiting family.

This particular section of the Uncommon Grounds website is devoted to promoting the community and culture that surrounds our stores. We found that our customers are up to some very interesting stuff. We hope that extending our community to the world wide web will add a beneficial layer to our everyday lives.

Please feel free to get in touch with us if you have any questions, suggestions or comments.
