Common Grounds

Decent cup of coffee and a cool ambiance. They have a schtick, and that's fun. The place probably needs some renovations but it seems like they got new windows, so thats good. The coffee isn't too fancy in terms of roast or profile, but it's a fresh cup and they have a variety of options available. And what's more, they have a community feel which makes this place special.

It's a super cozy space, a very fast and friendly barista, with delicious coffee. I went on my birthday after lunch and I considered getting a dessert, but the Angela Bassett (dark chocolate, lavender, and I forget the third flavor but maybe vanilla latte) was so dang good that I just wanted to savor it; that was all I felt like I needed, holy cow. Now I want another one lol. Next time I have to try a pastry too! I think they even had baklava at the time. Highly recommended! Parking: The parking lot is tiny, and there's a few businesses in the same spot, so the only downside is that if it got busy, you might have some trouble, especially since the other parking lots in the area have the same problem so I recommend car-pooling if you're going there with friends. But it's totally worth it, and there was open space in the middle of the day when we went.

Very boring coffee bar, very lame. the other common grounds at downtown is better. Hot coco was worse here than the other place. Extremely old & run down; repulsive. Minimal seating & parking.

Super cool coffee shop. Dont order online though. Ordered online and it wasnt ready when I arrived 20 minutes later. They were slammed and only one person working. They said they dont get notified for online orders. They took everyones orders in line first, then made mine. I waited another 10 minutes for the milk to steam. But the coffees were not even hot by the time I finally got them. We did not even drink them. Cold and gross. May go back but definitely wont place an online order.

Unfriendly, acted like we were bothering him. Drinks were awful. For these prices service and product should be great. Neither were.
