Ok. In order to appreciate just how much I loved my breakfast sandwich at Spot Coffee, you'd have…read moreto know that I travel for work regularly and that when I do so, my goal is to typically not eat at the same place more than once. And, yet. On a recent trip to the Glens Falls area I ordered the same breakfast sandwich from Spot Coffee three mornings in a row. All the mornings I was in the area in fact. It was called Mike's breakfast sandwich. And, look. I don't know who Mike is--but his taste in breakfast sandwich toppings? Top notch. I got mine on a plain bagel and it comes with egg, provolone, and cream cheese. It's almost poetic in its simplicity. And, sheer perfection. They also have coffee, of course, which I very much enjoyed as well. Each morning I got one of their specialty lattes. One morning I got their spiced cookie latte and the other two mornings I got their frosty mint mocha. Both were fabulous and I was able to sub almond milk, which was great. I ordered delivery and they packaged everything beautifully and it arrived still quite warm. Thank you Spot Coffee for making this girl's winter work travel just a skosh more warm and welcoming. Get to it!

This review I should have done a LONG time ago. I started going to this coffee shop late 2023…read more After my first visit, I realized how good of a place this was. The breakfast food is incredible, typically by Tyler-- a great cook and Chef. The breakfast burrito is out of this world. (As for it Tyler's way!) the coffee and lattes are truly very high-quality, but not overly pretentious. And if you know, then you know, when a coffee shop does it up too much and their prices are astronomical. That is not this place, they balance it perfectly by having good quality beans, roasted perfectly good quality, food, and breakfast items that makes starting your day such a treat by coming here. And lastly, the kickstart name comes from the owner's being motorcycle enthusiasts. The inside decor has a really cool and funky vibe to it with really awesome artwork and even a motorcycle inside. If you're looking for coffee, shops, and decent breakfast, do not hesitate to stop here!

Unfortunately, I can't speak to their food, but I do hope to return and try some soon. The motorcycle themed cafe is beautifully decorated and creates a space that you can comfortably work in or hang out with friends and family. It's warm, welcoming and inviting. I tried their Cinnamon Mocha Latte with almond milk and it was perfection in a cup. The staff is also super friendly and welcoming, and happy to answer any questions you have. I highly recommend Kickstart Cafe!

If you are looking for a place where you are met with no service and a bad attitude this is the…read morespot for you. Stopped in to what we thought would be is a quaint breakfast spot. There were 3 customers in front of us finishing up their order. When the cashier/waiter asked for payment and realized these kids only had a credit card, he lost his cool and started yelling about how they need to have "cash or check". My wife and I asked why he was meeting them with such a rude attitude. That is when he shifted his focus to me and began trying to insult the way I looked. Commenting on my hat, my clothes. Taken back I asked "what are you even saying?" He continued to say how I should order certain items on the menu to "help with my brain function." We decided to leave and not give them our business. I'd be cautious about supporting a business where the sole driver of success is customer service and your waiter speaks down to customers as if they are beneath them. Happy 4th of July

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'.

The service is profoundly slow. The coffee is mediocre…read more The staff wear dirty clothes and are surprisingly slow. The furniture is uncomfortable, especially the very hard couch and booths that make you slide off them. The food orders are consistently wrong. Despite there being several staff milling about, they regularly seem unable to manage the simple task of keeping their toasters running. Or buy new toasters. It's a bagel place people. Get a friggn toaster!! It's amazing how much and how often this place routinely squanders and botches their opportunity to just do OK. DO NOT GO HERE. You'll wait too long for the wrong order and sit in uncomfortable seating. The one odd pro of this pace.... They open at 6 (whereas most others are open at 7). Still.... All this means... you can get that bad experience over with pretty early in your day.

Cute breakfast spot on the tourist strip at Lake George…read more There is a dining room in the back and a to go counter in the front. The stand out for me was the Mountain of Maple Iced Latte. It was very good! Both my husband and I liked the bagels. I got an egg and cheese and he got bagel with lox cream cheese. Service was quick - staff was pleasant and made sure you knew what was up when you were talking to them. My only critique was it wasn't clear what beverage were hot or cold. When the server said my latte was iced I was psyched! My preferred! But I was prepared for hot. And did not know what it would be upon ordering it.

This was the perfect place for my needs- I ordered a bagel with cream cheese (not toasted) & my partner ordered a plain bagel toasted with jelly and butter. My partner liked his bagel. My bagel on the other hand was awful. The cream cheese tasted sweet and even chunky like cottage cheese. It was a horrible taste. It was also weird that neither of our bagels were cut in half they were left whole. I've never been to a bagel store where my bagel wasn't cut. But I'm from NYC so maybe in NY state they do it differently. The staff was very nice and efficient with our orders. If I came here again I'd love to try the coffee or the pastries. I wouldn't recommend the cream cheese at all.

Lucky to have found this new little gem, "The Nook Café"- As we walked in, we were greeted by the smell of fresh baked cookies which was hard to resist! Ordered a cup of vanilla oat milk latter, peanut butter cookie and cape codder sandwich (turkey on sour dough cranberry mayo spread) which was pretty good! It's a Thanksgiving sandwich :) They have a bar seating area available inside the coffee shop plus a dining area that can accommodate up to 12-14 ppl for lunch rush hour. Great friendly service :) Restrooms available on the ground floor (outside down the stairs through the door on the left)
