Awesome environment but very judging staff. Not so much of a cold brew every time I order it. Everyone is somehow trying their best Ig. WIll update later..

The workers were so nice and hospitable and they are not the reason for the one star. The reason is because it was very disappointing when the establishment did not have honey because that is the only sweetener I can eat because of my autoimmune disease/ food allergies! PLEASE GET HONEY! The people need honey!!!!

I’ve been coming to the Common Grounds for over twenty years now. The quality ranges depending on staffing experience but generally you can get a good beverage here and is the best coffee available on Biola’s campus. Recently the creamer was removed for general use so it is more difficult to get your coffee just so but not a problem if you like it black. This can be a nice place to study but often the music is too loud to concentrate on work.

The campus went through many renovations in the last five years. There is a new dormitory, science building and renovated art building. I went here with my wife and the campus was beautiful. Lots of parking spots and the campus is small enough to walk end to end. Great place. I went on a school day and it didn't seem too crowded. I hung out at the library for a bit and it was delightful.

The Pina Colada smoothie was awesome

Make sure to stop for a coffee!

I had the iced chai bomb, blended, and it was really good. The coffee flavor was strong which sometimes doesn't come though on a dirty chai. Also, I like the comfy seats.

The chai bomb is the best drink! Loved grabbing coffee here before a study session or before class, the place can get crazy during peak hours so get there on the off hours if you can.
Allie DeLuca
Nice people, convenient coffee. I would recommend coffee over latte!
Ben Minch
2nd best coffee shop on Biolas campus. Kinda pricey for subpar coffee
Definitely better than Heritage in my opinion! The people are friendly and thoughtful!
Andrew Divjak
The music is too loud half the time, the drinks are way too overpriced, and the drinks don't taste very good. Their coffee is never good.
Leon Harris
Friendly staff, and consistent quality coffee.

Most Brew coffee's are average unless you get a light roast (which they brew daily now), in which case they are good. This is also the only coffee shop I've found that brews matté, and it is excellent. There is ample seating inside and outside (big plus for a coffee shop), but it is on Biola's campus and that means you have to get a free parking pass when you get to the school.

Pretty good vibe, reliable coffee. Better than Starbucks, sometimes just as crowded as one. Wait times vary
