Common Grounds Coffee House

Went to the Todd’s road location today, the staff were really sweet but the bagel I got was hard as a rock. I am assuming they were frozen and was attempted to defrost and toast. I couldn’t even eat it. :(

I would go to any other coffee place in town other than common grounds. It used to have character and the best coffee and food in town. But after being bought by a family that cant even make a latte, it has since gone down.

Okay. Needed a coffee for a cold morning of soccer. They did make me something not on the menu which was nice, but it was just okay. Nothing bad but forgettable. Service was good and they were friendly.

Drinks were good and so was the bagel. Nothing special, but gets the job done.

I love this coffee shop! I live about 20 minutes away near many other coffee shops but I’ll drive out of my way to come here! They have by far the best breakfast burrito of any other place I’ve tried in Lex! It’s so delicious! I’ve only gotten iced coffee so far so I can’t comment on the hot coffee but I always get either an iced coconut mocha or an iced blackberry mocha and both are so good! The staff are always really friendly and welcoming! The only thing I’d change is their ambiance inside, I think the tables and chairs could use some upgrading for comfortability but I don’t go to coffee shops for the chairs I go for the coffee so that’s not nearly reason enough for me to stop making the drive here! 10/10!

Drive right on past those two Starbucks and come to a nice place instead. Walked in to smiling faces, better coffee and cheaper prices.

30 minutes for coffee? No thanks. Trapped in the drive thru for over half an hour, no discount, coffee was lukewarm.

Nothing like the one I loved on High Street. Atmosphere is not great and workers have seemed annoyed both times I’ve been in. So many other great coffee shops in Lex instead.

This is the fourth shop of the week. While Common Ground is ok, it doesn't leave you wanting to come back. The first thing you notice is the greasy smell. They don't have a hood evidently so the fried food smell sticks to you like glue. Unlike the other shops this week where an hour later driving away I could still take in the aroma of ground coffee, here I could just taste somebody else's sandwich. The next issue was the infestation of gnats. I swat them the whole time and saw other patrons doing likewise. The place also lacks all sense of ambiance. Rap music, a trashy restroom with cleaning supplies here and there, a handful of different ceiling tiles, just blah and nothing saying "come back and hang out again.". Undoubtedly I will return because it is "ok" and I am not a fan of Starbucks across the street.
