I’m convinced that this is the cutest and tastiest coffee shop in Waco. The staff is very personable and honest. They’ve cultivated an atmosphere that really does make you wish you could be there everyday. I ordered an iced Ombré half sweet and it was chef’s kiss. Parking is a bit tricky to get to. The turn off the feeder looks like an alleyway, but just keep going and it’ll lead you to the parking lot BEHIND the shop.

Coffee was so sweet, it wasn't drinkable. Had to throw 3 very expensive coffees out because they don't know what they're doing.

Love the vibe and baristas… I love their blueberry pancake latte… but I love to give the baristas an opportunity to make me what ever latte they want and THEY NEVER FAIL!!!

We stop in Common Ground any time we pass through Waco. It's our favorite coffee stop in Texas. The coffee is great, and the atmosphere is so warm and welcoming. Highly recommend!

Been going for decades. Great staff solid coffee. During school and tourist season can be hard to park so try woodway and Franklin locations. Franklin has cute retro vibe and tasty breakfast/ brunch from

This is a pretty cool place! Off the beaten path, great customer service - very friendly. I was surprised how populated it was on a Tuesday afternoon but given the atmosphere and reasonable prices I guess it doesn't surprise me upon reflection.

It's a combination coffee and pizza place. The pizza was good if a little overcooked. The coffee was good if a little weak. Tighten up on those two things and this would be a five-star place.

A pretty dang adorable place. The inside is absolutely huge and the large backyard that they have back there is pretty nifty. There weren’t any events when I was there but the potential is definitely apparent. If I lived here I would frequent this place all the time.

Stopped a couple of times while traveling. Neat eclectic atmosphere. Lots of college students. Everyone very kind. Coffee was great and not bitter.

I'm taking my rating down a notch because they don't always know the difference between an extra "shot" and an extra "pump", which seems like a basic thing for a coffee shop. On a few occasions, we've forgotten to be explicit and ask for "an added shot of espresso" instead of "an added shot", and we get more syrup instead of more coffee.This is a great place with good coffee. I do prefer it when Baylor is not in session because is gets so busy, but it's a great atmosphere.
