I've been going to Lox for 30+ years, even back when they were on Quaker Road. Bagels are amazing, choice is immense, service impeccable, and staff is awesome. If you haven't had the chance to visit, please do! You are missing out on a true gem in the community.

I've passed by this place for YEARS and have no idea why. It's probably because I only indulge in a…read morebagel (or two) only once in a while. I'm always skeptical about bagels this far outside NYC, but these are VERY close to passing as downstate morsels. I had a sesame bagel with lox spread...a very generous amount of it. So I went back up to the counter to grab a toasted egg bagel ....can't have leftover lox spread go to waste! Great reviews on the cinnamon raisin bagel. Coffee was excellent. The folks behind the counter were pleasant and hustling. We picked up a cannoli and an eclair...there are lots of other great looking baked goods to choose from (I had a smidge of self control at least). The eclair was huge and delicious. So was the cannoli. I will absolutely go back when I need a bagel fix.

I've been waiting since Memorial Day to try this bagel place. I tried several times at their old…read morelocation but they were never open or out of bagels. Hopefully they are more successful in LAke George. So my husband went this morning. There were very few choices of flavors. I had a poppy seed bagel, which is never my first choice (what was my husband thinking?) and it was just OK. I'm from Long Island, so I know a good bagel. It didn't have the "chew" I expect from a good bagel and it was really quite sweet. I'll try them again and up date my thoughts. There are better bagels out there.

Love this place!! Night Work bread is one of my favorite stops in Ballston Spa! Everything they…read moremake is sourdough-based and you can really taste the difference. The bread is so good!! Great flavor and great texture; and, I appreciate that they use organic ingredients. I actually wouldn't eat there if they didn't. The bagels are honestly amazing. They are the only bagels I will eat because they are organic sourdough (it's the only non-gf I'll eat). They are crispy on the outside and soft and chewy on the inside, just how a bagel should be! Whenever I've ordered a bagel and cream cheese (which is more than a dozen times), they've always been very generous with the cream cheese, which I appreciate! They've also got more than just bread. They sell some local gifts and things: flowers, crocheted items, little crafts, chocolates, etc. Their cookies are soooooooo delicious. We always get at least one to enjoy after we eat our bagels. :-) There is a small sandwich menu (no hot items though - like no hot egg sandwiches, just egg salad). They also serve hot coffee! One tip: Go early. They often sell out of bagels and treats, especially on the weekends! It's just a really solid spot with really good food! Definitely worth checking out! We drive 25 minutes just to enjoy their bagels, bread, and treats!!

Disappointments happen. This is a precept of the human experience. Especially when it comes to the…read morepursuit of a good café. So it went, you see, in Saratoga Springs yesterday. Uncommon Grounds had all the makings of a fine sit n' sip: high ceilings, superfluous interior arches, mildly darkened aesthetic, tin ceiling tiles, and an abundance of screamin' local artistry dressing up the joint. Brothers and sisters... I was stoked about the possibility of churning out some real Aldi-grade literature at one of the chunky timber perches. I was ready for a slammin cup of joe and a sick-ish vibe. Alas, all I got from behind the counter was a jersey stuffed with caustic disdain and affected arrogance. It was impressive in that the tone, delivery, volume and words were all brilliantly matched in conveying unmistakable I-wish-you'd-get-the-flip-outta-my-space-clappery. I know the exact phrasing and such would go a long way here, but the whole dang affected setup I received from the other side of the counter would be hella exhausting to recount. And not worth my time. To be clear, my time really ain't worth all that much. Now I could go on to tell you about the rest of the experience, the quality of the bagels and the consistency of the schmear, and the tones you'll find playing throughout the house-roasted brews. But as a journeyman writer in the café world, I'm not gonna waste any more descriptors on the brat-infused tea steeping at the front of house. Why? Simply because cafés are more than the drink and grub. Cafés are as solid an offering of what culture Earth has to offer across its varied continents, countries, and street corners. They are something to engage with and experience directly. Like riding a scooter across Vietnam. Like a Moroccan food market. Like wiping volcanic ash off your hiking boots after a day's hike in Cinder Cone. If the human engagement of the place is reprehensible, then in IMHO the treats and steeps don't matter. Disappointments happen. That's for sure. But I'm only gonna spend two more sentences telling you what you probably already gathered about this place. It's slippin' baby. It's slippin'.

I was excited to try here but I felt like the bagels, aren't bagels? No chew, no yeasty flavor…read more They were kinda crumbly and oddly dense. I find this difficult to rate, they are good tasting - but not bagels so take that as you will. They are like a cross between bagels/biscuit/scone? Something weird about it. I bought a jalapeño cheddar bagel with bacon scallion cream cheese in store, and brought home 6 more various bagels. They all had the same off texture but I do like the tastes of the bagels, and they were generous with the smear of cream cheese. It's okay, but I like other places more.
