Common Ground Projects

Absolutely loving this new coffee spot! I had the prettiest baklava latte and a coconut pandan latte—hands down the best coffee I’ve had on the coast. The baristas are so friendly, and the atmosphere is incredibly calming—it seriously felt like I was in another country for the afternoon. Perfect place to knock out some remote work with a client, and we soaked up the beautiful outdoor seating too. Can’t wait to go back!

Lovely place and they have incredible lunch specials. All the Doctors offices need to know about this coffee shop excellent

Made the mistake here of briskly approaching the counter as if I knew what I wanted, or even their menu, on my first visit. No worries! The baristas right away asked if I knew what I wanted or needed ideas, smoothly segueing into delicious creative options. I went with my usual lavender component added into staff suggestion of the mint espresso. The vibes were spectacular, with a bright yet peaceful atmosphere and wall of local artist's pieces available to guests. Employees were very polite, everything was cute and clean, and chocolate chip croissant and lattes were exquisite. Thank you!

Common Ground Project in Ocean Springs is a delightful spot that brings together the best of local and international flavors. I tried the Ube Latte, which was perfectly creamy and rich, paired with a strawberry muffin from Dropout Bakery and Co. in Mobile, AL. The fact that the Common Ground staff goes the extra mile—literally—to bring these sweet treats from Mobile shows their dedication to quality.

The space itself is welcoming and exudes a calming atmosphere, inspired by the laid-back vibe of Australian cafes. It’s a perfect spot to unwind, catch up with friends, or just enjoy a quiet moment with a delicious coffee and pastry. If you’re ever in Ocean Springs, make sure to drop by for a truly enjoyable café experience.

Common grounds is the only one of its kind on the coast! It was a great environment with friendly and cool staff that made for a great experience. The restaurant next door is connected and makes it easy to grab a bite if you’re feeling it.

Super friendly staff. Loved the local artist display. Our drinks were amazing! 🤩 My son and I stopped by to do a little bit of schoolwork and some math games. We loved the atmosphere and friendly staff. We hung out for about an hour and enjoyed our drinks. They even offered our puppy a pup cup. 🐾 We also checked out the Mediterranean restaurant next door and saw a beautiful yoga studio in the next building.

Ordered the flat white. Uses two proper shots of espresso. Espresso had a good amount of acidity which the milk cut nicely. Was very well balanced.

This comes from someone who pulls his own espresso twice daily. I'm a coffee snob and I approve

Common Ground is a tranquil space for enjoying a cup of coffee with an old friend or working from your computer. Hugged by the yoga studio on the right and the Fig and Olive on the left (This is an incredible restaurant offering up a variety of cuisines from around the world.), this is your one stop shop for rejuvenation, a true asset to our community!
