Common Ground is a very sweet neighborhood coffee shop with good coffee and very friendly service . Their tables are good to work from or a quick meeting.

The art alone is worth the trip, add to that the lavender honey latte with an extra shot!??!?
Yes, please!

Good Vibes and Yummy Bites at Common Ground!Went for a last-minute brunchy breakfast at Common Ground in Grand Rapids and it was pretty cool! The place is big and artsy, with colorful windows and fun art on the walls. Could use a few more chairs though.The staff was super nice and pointed us to a coconut coffee that was just awesome. We also tried the specials: French toast and a meat-lover's dish. The French toast was a mountain of yum—seriously, it was a lot (6 slices, bacon and fruit knowledge)! My husband's meat-lover dish was a bit on the small side, but hey, the flavors were all there.So, if you're up for a tasty breakfast in a chill place, Common Ground is a good go-to. Two thumbs up!

The breakfast menu is great. I had a wrap and roll. Hot, toasty and delish! The coffee is so good you can enjoy it sans cream.

The White Mocha is very good! I have problems every time I come to Michigan finding a coffee house that has White Mocha's on the menu. The breakfast food is amazing! They also have a kids area!Kid-friendliness: Kids area inside

I have enjoyed this place since 1998. Great low key relaxed environment. The drinks are awesome and now they do pancakes!

Went today for coffee and came back later for breakfast. Breakfast was insanely good. I got the breakfast wrap with potatoes. So good. Get it with aioli. Great hot sauce selection too.

I enjoyed this coffee shop. The location and connected offerings with the deli and bakery is great. Also have the small child play area for the mom's who need coffee the most is so thoughtful (take notes Madcap).As for a drink rating, probably the best Cappuccino I had in grand rapids out of the 4 I tried. Their mix of Sumatran and Guatemala beans from Grand Rapids Coffee Roasting Company worked well. The bakers chocolate and molasses hit at the start and the blueberry hit towards the end. Well rounded cup. Also they had a India Monsoon Malabar which a friend enjoyed. Not a very popular region. I recommend a visit here.

Great service and coffee ☕Haven't been in Common Ground since COVID and the renovations are great!
Great cakes and tea lattes. Check out the jewelry some of the staff sells behind the counter.

Atmosphere is six stars. Loved the Chorizo, pepper jack, and avocado smashed wrap, perfectly proportioned and tasty. Fruits yummy. I devoured the potatoes and Almond Joy oatmeal before the pic. Will be back for sure

Saw a sign that they are serving breakfast now, so stopped in to check out the food. Menu has multiple interestingly described items, will go back a few times to try them all. The seasoned potatoes were on point

Almost left waiting for someone to assist us. Finally a young blonde girl popped up from behind where customers can't see. She was eating and was on her phone in the back. If you're gonna sit in the back when you're the only one working, sit where you can see and hear people come in. Or atleast get a bell. She was so embarrassed and flustered my boyfriend was pretty sure his coffee was made wrong. Tasted absolutely bitter and she forgot the caramel flavoring. Won't be back. Bitter End blows this place out of the water.
