Spot Coffee - City of Saratoga Springs

Better than Uncommon Grounds! Coffee is just as good, but the food is much better and cooked in house (vs frozen), and they are fast!

Do not come here if you are in any kind of hurry or are imminently hungry. Coffee and food quality is FINE nothing better. Service is incredibly slow, like actually unbelievable. I ordered a bagel with cream cheese, and 20 minutes later was still waiting. When I went up to wait at the counter, another customer told me they’d also been waiting 10-15 minutes for a bagel with cream cheese. When I replied that I’d been waiting 20 minutes, a barista turned around and berated us, told us we actually hadn’t been waiting long, and said not to talk to each other or stand by the counter. “We’re short staffed and working as fast as we can” she said, as I watched 4 workers struggling to handle 2 bagels. This was a Monday morning in the summer with very mild traffic. I watched the worker doing food spend a full TWO MINUTES putting cream cheese on a bagel, painting it delicately as if it were an art project. I’ve worked many restaurant and cafe jobs and 10 minutes for a bagel let alone 20 is unacceptable. Snapping at customers and telling them to stop speaking with each other is not only rude but a great way to lose business. Will not be returning and will be sure to share this experience with anyone who asks me about this place.

This is a very nice coffee shop. The portion sizes are superior to Starbucks and the quality of the coffee is excellent. Pricing is comparable to other high end coffee shops. But Spot Coffee has terrific atmosphere and ample seating.

My daughter and I love Spot Coffee!! It has become our weekend go-to! The staff are so friendly and nice! The restaurant always has plenty of seating! We love the coffee and love to sit and relax and watch the cars go by!

Really nice place to get coffee. I have been here a few times. Waitstaff always seems a bit distracted, even when not busy. At any rate, they are always pleasant, place is clean, food and drinks have never been a problem. I never feel rushed here, which is nice. Great selection on menu.
