Very rustic coffee shop with lots of nooks and crannies for sitting and hanging out. The atmosphere is very inviting and fun. The service was nice and the coffee was good. A worth while stop for those passing through and excellent choice for those looking for a place to chill.

My go-to place for quality coffee drinks when in Waco. Plus the atmosphere is an added benefit. When the weather is nice out, there is outdoor seating in the back and there are cozy places inside as well for all year-round. Their secret sauce in the drinks is superb! Plus they always offer some sort of seasonal drink menu so check those out, they are always well worth it! Can’t go wrong with Common Grounds!Parking: Lot is in the back behind Common Grounds, accessible by the service road or next to the UPS Store, pay attention to signs, there is also street parking.
I love common grounds, Woodway. I don't like this one simply because of the location and the way it's arranged. I don't feel like it's very comfortable inside. The services is fine and the coffee is always delicious. I just prefer common grounds Woodway.

GREAT DRINKS! Service is ok, a large isn't even a large, it's more of a small. Only bad thing about this place is the amount of yuppies that go there because of BU.

Came here early morning during spring break and many customers (Baylor students I guess) were there. Got cold brew and a drip coffee ("cast iron blend") and also banana bread and lemon blueberry bread (had wanted tacos but they were not available). Liked both the drinks and the bread (loaf cake). Noticed the lable on the bread said "Heritage Creamery", which is the ice cream shop next door, and wish we had had a chance to go there too. Atmosphere was welcoming and pleasant; where we sat, furniture and deco gave a cozy hunting-lodge sort of feel, though alltogether it was as if the space was a house and not a cafe. The staffers were helpful and friendly.

Absolutely love Common Grounds. The No Bull is a must try and their secret sauce is heavenly!! Incredible atmosphere with both indoor and outdoor seating. Great service!!

Great service and coffee. Love the atmosphere. Reminds me of 1408 coffee in Plano. Seating in different 'rooms' as well as side patio, back patio (with yard seating- mostly for events and dry weather) and porch seating. Love the decor. We had coffee our first night and went back for breakfast (coffee and snack) in the morning. Kiddo loves his weekend chocolate milk and rated it 10/10. Definitely would come here anytime we're in town. There's parking in back but we used the street (didn't know about pack the first time) and garage next door. They also have a drive thru. Bathrooms outside in back, nice and stocked up.

A place that looks like I'd love to hang out for hours. Coffee was great!
Probably the coolest coffee shop I’ve ever been to! Atmosphere was incredible!

I'm not from Waco, but every time I'm there I make a point to visit at least 1 of the locations, if not more. Every employee I've ever engaged with has gone above and beyond in their kindness and patience and just overall service. The whole feel of the shops themselves is nearly overwhelming but in the best way...I love it! Now their coffee...it hits the spot every single time. So much so that I think about it often, and when coffee is brought up in conversation I mention common grounds. So, thanks:))

Coffee was absolutely delicious! There was a very distinct taste that did not leave me with a bitter/burnt after taste like most chain stores do. Service was fast and friendly. Ambiance was a combination of comfort and business.

Wish they had more sugar free syrup offerings. Would be an inexpensive way to include a growing segment of customers who are avoiding sugar. And we are GRATEFUL when businesses say "Yeah we have lots of SF flavors!"Dietary restrictions: Currently only have sugar free vanilla syrup.
