This place is great! HOWEVER, if using the Toast App for pick up *** They don't offer curbside pick up*** I sat in my car for over 45 minutes with my baby waiting for the order. Also the phone lines don't connect to the store so it was a giant hassle. I don't want anyone else to experience that .

Very cute little shop, the food is freshly made from what I've seen & they have pretty large portions. The prices are average for California, but the baristas could've been a bit more hospitable. Overall an okay experience.

Wonderful positive environment to dine, listen to live music, meet friends & family and help support TERI assist San Diego's special needs community. It's ALL GOOD!

Love this hidden gem. Great food and drinks. Nice atmosphere, a great place to just chill. I believe they have musicians on certain days though I've yet to attend.

As a parent of children with special needs, this place warms my heart. As a girl who loves to eat, 5 stars all the way! Here's what I ate: the pre packaged Caesar salad-perfect, especially loved the dressing. Pho dip beef sandwich with a side of potato salad - super, super delish! For dessert, a lemon poppy seed muffin warmed to perfection and a coffee- both were perfect. Teri Campus of Life is the pinnacle of inclusion. I'll be back as often as I can. I can't wait to see the campus once construction is complete. Thank you for all you do for the special needs community.

What a cute breakfast place with outdoor and indoor seating. The food was delicious and the coffee was good. We ordered a regular coffee and an iced latte. The burrito was huge. My omelette had microgreens. The plus is that there is no wait on the weekend.

Found this place while searching for a place to grab lunch after hiking the South Lake Trail. It was a little out of the way from where we were, but the reviews said let's give it a try. So worth it. The service was warm and helpful. My friend and I both had The Ham and Gruyère Crosissant sandwich~the apricot preserves helped elevate it, so good. We ate out on the patio and even though there is loads of construction going on with the expansion to the TERI campus, it was peaceful, which is odd if you think of construction. We definitely will be returning and would love to catch on of the Happy Hours where there is live music.

Such an excellent little cafe! Perfect place to work remotely or meet a friend for lunch. They have a wide variety of menu options ranging from coffee to lemonade, several lunch items from white bean soup to sandwiches + salads. An endless drink case (although no soda which i love) including beer and wine. It is also in such a stunning location. Located at the base of the mountains, you feel as if you are within a peaceful winery town with views to see every way you look. The chocolate chip cookies are SO yum and huge, they also offer many gluten free options. To add, the staff is so incredibly friendly and on it. They all seem like they want to be there and its never inconvenient to ask for something! 10/10 will be going again and again.

Favorite local breakfast spot. Spacious, clean and great food. Drinks are good as well and service is spot on. Best part is their prices not going to lie it's CHEAP for a clean eating breakfast/Lunch spot.
Such a cute hidden gem. Tried this place for the first time with my book club and loved it. The space is charming and comfortable, the drink and food menu are ample. I got a coffee smoothie and a pastry and both were delicious. The service was fast and friendly. Will definitely be back!

A great coffee shop in the area. The service was amazing. The Barista was so friendly, funny and sweet. She provided us information on the campus and the vision. The interior space has lots of seating, and the patio was a good size. They have a good amount of merchandise to purchase from local vendors. I enjoyed the drink I ordered, the Hammerhead mixed with Mexican Mocha. If you want chocolate with some extra energy, get this drink lol. I can't wait to see when the whole campus is complete. They are creating a community for adults and children with special needs. It is going to be beautiful. Thank you Teri Common Grounds Cafe & Coffee Bar!

Nice spot listening to a live jazz band. Service would be five star but you have to wait in the food Lion just to get a drink it can take a little while for people to order so it was slow.Very nice venue, very friendly people, food was excellent, drinks were cold, and music was live.
