Are you looking for some of the best coffee in the Saratoga Springs area? We have a few favorites that offer you the best brews in the area and a charming spot to sit and sip for a while as well. Read on for some of our favorite coffee spots and recommended drinks.
Uncommon Grounds
402 Broadway, Saratoga Springs, NY
Uncommon Grounds is situated prominently on Broadway Street in Saratoga Springs and has been a gathering spot for coffee and bagel lovers since the 1990s. Their focus is on fresh and high quality both in their beans and their bagels. There are lots of tables to sit at and enjoy your drink and usually a longish line, especially on the weekends, but it is well worth the wait. I highly recommend the Turmeric latte with espresso. It is one of the best coffees I have ever had. The turmeric and espresso flavors are nicely balanced and not too sweet - this is a 10/10 coffee. And while this is a coffee run down, do yourself a favor and get a bagel too.
Saratoga Tea & Honey Co
348 Broadway, Saratoga Springs, NY
Not every coffee crawl needs coffee. Saratoga Tea & Honey has a tea bar on Broadway with more than 70 teas and herbal blends, hot or iced, plus matcha and chai, and a tasting room for local raw honey. Stay for a pot or take a cup for a walk down Broadway. Make sure and check out their daily specials and we love their tea hot and iced. Upstate Apple and Saratoga Red Chai are two of our favorites. We love them so much we stock their tea and honey at the Camp Store.
Bear's Cup Bakehouse
543 Broadway, Saratoga Springs, NY
Bear's Cup started in Bolton Landing on Lake George and opened its year-round Saratoga shop at the north end of Broadway. They're known for kettle-boiled bagels, pastries made from scratch and locally roasted coffee. The Saratoga shop has its own parking lot, which is rare on Broadway and makes it easier to stop in. Heading to Lake George in summer? The original Bolton Landing shop is open seasonally. Locals love their coffee. We love their sandwiches, like the Bolton and pastries and while we haven't tried the coffee yet, it's next on our list.
Kru Coffee
46 Marion Ave, Saratoga Springs, NY | 140 Glen Street, Glens Falls, NY
Kru Coffee is a small, family owned, coffee shop with lots of charm. Whether you visit the Saratoga or Glens Falls shop, they have a local feel that makes you want to stay and enjoy your coffee and conversation with a friend. You can’t go wrong here but we loved the matcha latte with almond milk. It is a little on the sweeter side but not too grassy and a great all around matcha.
The Spot
55 Railroad Place, Saratoga Springs, NY | 221 Glen Street, Glens Falls, NY
The Spot has big windows, lots of light and is a great spot to stay and sip awhile. They are a Buffalo based company who have been brewing craft coffee for 30 years. They have lots of pastries as well as breakfast and lunch foods. I recommend the Japanese Brewed Iced Coffee for a great and dependable ice coffee that is very crisp.
Saratoga Springs is about 25 minutes south of camp, so grab a coffee on your way into town, or make a morning of it. Back at camp, there's local Upstate Coffee in your cabin and the Hudson out front.
