I had a hot latte, it’s called the “Robert Downey Jr” (dark chocolate, caramel, sea salt) SO SATISFYING! 😋☕️🥰 I also enjoyed a delicious lemon & poppyseed muffin with my coffee, as I watched and listened to a gentleman who was singing and playing his guitar on the small stage that they have in the corner. He was very good and had a comforting voice that was the cherry on top of my experience. When I was finish with my coffee/muffin I picked around towards the back where they have an arcade, nothing fancy but it felt nostalgic. They had all my favorite arcade games I played growing up (skeeball, air hockey, Deer Hunt, claw machine, foosball, Pac-Man, and my absolute favorite the quarter drop machine (where you put quarters in through the top where they drop down to try and push other quarters off the ledge and down the shoot for you to claim). That DEFINITELY brought back memories, especially of my grandfather who I could always count on for quarters so I could play. They also had a pool table and a piano which I thought was really neat

Common Grounds coffee house offers an atmosphere of sheer genuine kindness and acceptance.

As a musician up and coming in this terrifying digital transhimanism world Common Grounds coffee house offers the perfect place to get your nerves under control whilst enjoying a damn good Mocha for me.

The talent there is in excess and the good vibes over flow the second you enter this establishment.

Stop on by Common Grounds coffee house and see where the experience takes.

You might end up on stage meeting really cool people all whilst conquering your fears and sipping a banging cup of Joe!

Fun spot for a hot beverage and chat with a friend. Less ideal for reading alone if it's busy.

Truly love this coffee shop! It’s perfect for a date or getting school work done. The staff is always sweet and attentive. My favorite drink is the Marlon Brando. I adore the iconic names they give their drinks. You can really tell the owners put effort and heart into this place. Definitely give it a try!

Coffee & barista IS ALWAYS 10/10. The aesthetic is also amazing. It’s always just quiet enough to read a book as well, that’s nice!

All the drinks sound delicious but I'll take a red or black eye iced every day, all day. Amazing place to meet up with friends or sit and work.

I come here a lot and I must say that I quite like it. The coffees and desserts are always top notch and the service is always solid. My only complaint is around the setup of the building. I get the vibe they are going for but the seating arrangements aren't always the greatest and sometimes force you into a group you don't want to be in. Other than that, I have no complaints and quite like coming here.

Common Grounds is a cool, divey place where you can relax and play some games. The decorum is definitely on the more rustic/vintage side. They have some retro coin slot arcade games (coins not included), a pool table, an old piano, and a chess board. There’s many things you can do here to unwind!

There’s also very comfortable couch seating where you can sit, relax and study/work. Along with their coffee selections, they also have a small beer selection as well.

Sometimes people like to smoke outside and that smell can travel inside a little.

The owners need to fix the AC. Having the workers there under those conditions is inhumane. People don’t want to be there when it is so hot out. Everything else is fine, but the owners need to step up and do something about the awful working conditions.
