I love going to the Old Seward Location. The Barista’s are super nice and always get my order correct.

Came by to get a coffee because it was late around 12am they advertised opened 24 hours. Well when we got there they were closed with all the buildings lights on very misleading they should fix that!

4 cars sitting on the left and right side for 20 minutes. Not sure what the hold up was. But the service is super slow. Left and went to a different coffee shop.

I was kind of surprised to see such low reviews. Anyways, both people working at 1300 on 1/17 were a delight. I didn’t really know what to order as I mostly drink plain coffee at home and I just told them I wanted something “fancy.” 😆🤷🏼‍♀️They asked me a couple of questions and one of them said “I got you” and gave me a perfect drink. It was delicious. Toasted marshmallow on top of some other yumminess. (Also, her eyelashes were amazing!) Thanks!

Full disclosure we are visiting from Philadelphia (City of brotherly love and sisterly affection) so perhaps we don’t know local hospitality codes (lots of complaints in existing reviews, standards higher here?). The coffee is delicious, our impulsively selected tea blend scrumptious (wished for a black tea other than English Breakfast but then I’d never have discovered rooibos!), and both young women were truly delightful! Friendly, responsive to questions, even provided suggestions when we asked about nearby gluten free breakfast options. We thought the pricing was ridiculously reasonable! Thank you for making a great start to our morning!

Went there for the first time, no 16oz - paid with card and tipped cash. Blonde girl tipped herself $1. Drink was $8 for a 24 oz and bank statement says $9. Booo never again!

The owner does not care about her workers, and will intimidate or invalidate past workers who speak out about their experiences. Plus, they are the most expensive coffee hut in town. It shouldn’t be news to anyone to not go here.

Love common grounds so much and this isn't to bash. But it would just be nice to know when the 24 hour location will not be open for the night. I looked in Instagram and the CGE website, even Google to see if there was notice of being closed but there wasn't.

not here to complain about any of the girls they all make great drinks! Just didn’t expect that they would completely ignore me after messaging there page on Instagram explaining I found multiple pieces of plastic in my drink and even showed pictures of my drink and they opened my message and never got back to me about so I’m little upset that no one cared to make it right.

tried to buy hot cocoa for a homeless woman i met on my walk, the dumb c_nt working that night shut the window, and just ignored me. I was not dressed in any way that even remotely suggests I was homeless. I even tapped on the window, not threateningly, but politely. She just ignored me. I noticed this is a chain business, I will be sure to avoid all locations, and tell all my friends and family to not patronize this business. You just lost at least 20 customers permanently.

I go to the hut in front of value village on Northern lights and Boniface. The baristas there are so freaking nice and fun! and they always make a lovely drink. My brother often takes me to work in the morning and if we have time we stop by, they generally fast, and so welcoming when you pull up. and their monthly specials are always fun to check out and try! Definitely a favorite of mine.

The white lady who was working tonight was rude. She didn’t greet me at all. She just stared at me with such a rude look and stayed silent most of the time. She didn’t even say anything when I told her that my daughter was trying to say hi to her.Her first words were “I know what you mean” in such a rude tone, when I was reading to her what I wanted.I asked her what’s the smallest size she can do for smoothies. She said 24. So, I said “for regular ones?”She said “no, for Red Bulls.” And then she stopped talking to me.Then her co-worker took over for the transactionHer co-worker with the black hair is ALWAYS so sweet! She’s way better than the other lady. She’s got wonderful customer service!!!The white lady having horrible customer service just makes me not want to go there anymore. She made it such a bad feeling being there.Also, my green apple drink didn’t even taste like green apple. I didn’t taste green apple in it, one bitI’m sticking with Boom now, for the 24 hour coffee shop because I don’t want to deal with the bad vibes from the person that doesn’t have good customer service, anymore-even though I love how good of customer service the other lady has. We gave that rude lady a small tip still, even though she was rude because I’d feel bad without tipping.Here’s a pic of my poison apple, from the October menu. It shows it doesn’t have much green apple. At least it kept me caffeinated.Thank you to the lady with the black hair for being so kind! 5 stars to her!
