"I have been dying for Bear’s Cup to open, and wow… it far exceeded my expectations. As a former NYC girly, I feel like I’m on very good authority when it comes to bagels, and the New Yorker was truly, truly one of the best I’ve had in a very long time. My friend and I literally gasped over the blueberry pastry; THAT good. On top of the food, it’s one of the cutest spots, and I am genuinely so happy to have this addition to Saratoga. Highly, highly recommend. SERVICE was exceptional, so friendly! And of course, the space is ADORABLE & so thoughtfully curated. They’ve thought of all the details, the entire experience was perfect & I can’t wait to take the rest of my family & friends!!"

"We got there right when it opened. While there were a ton of people, it seemed like things were moving efficiently. Staff were friendly and seemed to be enjoying being there. Despite the crowd, it was a pleasant atmosphere to sit and eat inside. We aurally ate 2x over the weekend. The first day, I got the BEC. It was a touch greasy from all the cheese and butter and bacon but in a yummy way. My mom got a bear claw. The next day, I went with the New Yorker (minus tomato) and cinnamon roll chai (iced, less sweet). My mom picked the BLT. We got some treats to bring home- double chocolate croissant and coffee cage muffin. There was lots of salmon and the flavor and quality were terrific so I felt the price was justified. My mom loved her BLT. The drinks are expensive but it was a tasty splurge. The pastries were a touch on the dry side. It wasn’t completely perfect but we were pleased overall. This is definitely where we will be eating breakfast again in Saratoga. I’m so happy to see a local business in a beautiful building creating a positive community space (and somewhere with a parking lot!)."

"Extremely busy bake shop that was decorated cutely for Christmas. Line was out the door before and after our visit. Full line of espresso/coffee drinks with seasonal and specialty flavor options. Fresh bagels and pastries are served until sold out. The service is quick and friendly. There is a free parking lot at the location. We ordered a sausage, egg and cheese on a sesame bagel as our only options left were sesame or poppy. The bagel was delicious with a nice chew. The egg was runny which was a turnoff. Not sure if this is the typical or rushed because of the heavy customer presence. Two iced lattes were ordered, one gingerbread and the other salted caramel mocha. The gingerbread wasn't bad but the salted caramel mocha was soooo salty it couldn't be drank. I'm sure they are still working out some kinks. Will go back in a couple months to see if there's any changes. Be sure to go early if you want the full variety."

"This is the original firehouse in Saratoga and the owners of Bear’s Cup did an incredible job of designing the space to keep the beautiful details of the space while making it chic. And I might be biased but the custom wallpaper is stunning!! The actual food is to die for. The pastries are the best I’ve had since growing up and living in Germany where we would go to France to get our fresh pastries. I absolutely LOVED their almond croissant. And their bagels are incredible too. The best part is the bagels are vegan so my daughter who has a dairy and egg allergy can eat them. They are the only place in town with vegan bagels. I also had a specialty salted caramel coffee which was delicious. I’ve already been eying up their chai for my next visit! I highly recommend checking the Bear’s Cup out!"

"My husband and I already had a day date planned to do some Christmas shopping BUT then Bear’s Cup announced they were opening on December 18th so plans got changed! The place is absolutely gorgeous. The staff is top-notch. You can really tell everyone loves working there and if you follow them on social media you can see that everyone is valued. We ordered the salted caramel mocha, large drip coffee, classic BEC on an everything bagel and an apple caramel nest. Everything was delicious. It’s hard to describe with words but you can really taste the love, care and quality of the food and drinks. It’s so different from anywhere else."
