My family felt a bagel would make a great mid-morning breakfast/early lunch option, so we gave Hudson Bagels a try. Each of us was quite pleased with our experience! The fella that greeted us upon entering was nice and helpful in guiding our selections. The bagels were fresh and as good as any NYC bagel I have ever eaten. My family and I couldn't have been happier with our visit. The only downside was the limited amount of indoor seating available, but that's not a complaint--rather, just something to know if you're planning of stopping in for a bagel. If the weather is cold, the outdoor seating isn't likely an option. I highly recommend Hudson Bagels! If I ever make it back to Hudson, I'll visit this shop again! :-)

That said, everything else about the place is average or below average. They are frequently out of the bagel I want. They often overtoast or under-toast it when they make it for me. They often use the sandwich oven, which is part convection, part microwave. For a breakfast sandwich thats fine but not for toasting my bagel. The store's ambiance is unappealing, the seating area is too small, they dont have an espresso machine, the coffe is lukewarm, they re-worked their order line so you cant go to the make area to order, they dont refill the condiments and napkins regularly, the staff is ambivalent about your "guest experience." The competition is "eating their lunch" (see Uncommon Grounds), and doing it without the better bagel that Brueggars has. Whomever owns this chain is asleep at the switch.

The outside had a crunch with a warm stuffed flavorful center. The dipping sauce took the already delicious bagel to the next level. We tried both the BEC and pastrami Reuben stuffed bagels. I saw the freezer to purchase frozen bagels and I disregarded it. I won't make that mistake again if I food myself at this shop again. The service was quick and the store front and inside were super cute and clean.

They had the Vegan stuffed bagel which had sausage, egg and cheese. She definitely enjoyed it. I had the Reuben which was excellent. Both were on everything bagels. I wish there were more varieties of bagels.. maybe wheat or cinnamon raisin. The staff were pretty friendly and told us how everything worked. They gave us the moon sauce which was really good and a great addition to the bagel. The staff also provided us with reheating instructions. The place is really a grab and go spot but that was perfect for us. I would definitely go back if I was in the mood for it.

After reading my last review I think it would be fair to say they have addressed most of my previous comments. The Cinnamon Raisin I had today had a reasonable number of raisins and continued to have a nice amount of cinnamon flavor with a very enjoyable chew. The plain cream cheese I requested on my toasted bagel ($2.95) was proportionally appropriate. My wife's toasted Chocolate Chip bagel with plain cream cheese ($2.95) had just enough chocolate chips to not overpower the enjoyable flavor of the bagel and to also not become a dessert bagel. Two very good cups of coffee from Capital City Coffee Roasters ($2.10 ea.) added to our enjoyment. Staff were friendly and service was prompt.

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'.
