4. Uncommon Grounds:Uncommon is a great brunch choice for the classic coffee and bagel combo. Bagel flavors range from staples like plain and everything to exotic options like honey wheat and rosemary olive. In addition to their fresh bagels, Uncommon has an extensive coffee and tea menu that offers both hot and cold drinks. The Chai latte is not too sweet, and is a perfect treat on a chilly Saratoga day. Uncommon is a popular study spot for Skidmore students, so if you are planning on cranking out some work and spending the day there, make sure to get there early to snag a comfy chair or table. Located on Broadway, Uncommon is convenient for Skidmore students who prefer to walk or take the bus downtown.
