I stood at the front desk which is below the menu. I watched while servers were taking care of others before myself, I waited over 10 minutes and they passively aggressively ignored me while no server could take a second and assist me with my order. they all looked at me wide eyed, like there was nothing going on in there head or there were intentionally choosing not to help me. I never complain, this is honestly my first, but do not go here if you like an organized/structured restaurant and genuine care.. I still can’t believe it. God bless

Easily one of the most amazing places I’ve ever seen. A shockingly special environment, very lovely service and the food was so good! What a treat of a discovery.

The gluten free bread was nice, coleslaw was nothing special served with the sandwich. An option to toast the bread for sandwiches would be good, then not getting soggy.

Great spot for a sandwich or a cup of coffee. Very good food at a reasonable price. It's worth the visit.

I rediscovered my love of Common Ground Cafe this week. The atmosphere is so friendly and open, the prices are very reasonable and their Cranberry Nut Salad is AMAZING! I took this picture after starting (it was beautifully presented). I even got one to go so I could have it for lunch the next day. Delicious. And it feels so good to support a wholesome, local community. Thank you to Common Ground Cafe Family.

Delicious food that comes from a local farm in Merville! Beautiful decor inside. Genuine servers who are not annoying or fake nice. Love the farm to table idea, however it is run by a more traditional/hippy/religious group who some may think is a bit cult-y.

It was so good and delicious. I had a Reuben and it was so good. It tasted like my mom’s Rubens. It was definitely worth the wait. You should definitely go here as it’s just like momma’s cooking.

I love the look of the yellow deli. It looks like an old fairytale home. it's absolutely beautiful. You know you're not going to be disappointed. The servers are very friendly and kind, lots of food Selections and you can even build your own sandwich. I loved the hot mocha. Honestly, I have no complaints. I highly recommend.
