I love the delicious coffee and it is a very nice place

This place is absolutely perfect! Big parking lot, lots of seating, delicious coffee. They have mugs and cups for drinks there, I appreciate the ecofriendliness. Really nice baristas. It’s bright and cheerful inside. Did I mention the coffee is delicious? Well, it is. Highly recommended.
Dietary restrictions: They had lots of milk alternatives.
Parking: Easy parking in the lot out front.

Nice find. I'd return for the atmosphere for sure. It was really busy in the late morning on a weekday. Only been once but will go again.
I always seek out cute/delicious coffee shops when traveling and this one was definitely worth the stop in Tacoma ! Coffee was great, breakfast sandwich and strawberry scone were phenomenal, service was extremely friendly and attentive and the atmosphere was perfection. Highly recommend!!

Man I love this place. Sometimes when I’m down I just know that if I drive here, grab my laptop, and order the cardigan oatmilk latte for here, find a cozy seat, work and enjoy my latte, I feel more inspired and focused. The coffee is always so delicious. The ambiance - alive and calming. I love the owners drive, sunshine energy, and hospitality. You can see her creative vision and why it’s become such a heart spot for hilltop.
Can’t imagine Hilltop without this coffee shop now. Thank you!!!

Can't rate food, but coffee and ambience were spot-on. Typical scandinavian tan/offwhite/green decor, comfortable assortment of seating options, plug-ins for those of us with HW/work/too many devices. An eclectic and interesting customer base.
Parking is a bit tight, so I wouldn't rely on finding space for a bigger rig. My compact hatchback squeezed in ok.

A charming and cute coffee shop. I tried the chocolate cornetto and pumpkin patch latte—both were delicious. There’s plenty of public parking. Bring your favorite book, grab some pastries and coffee, and enjoy a cozy reading session.
Parking: Plenty of free street parking.

The views, vibes, decor, and staff all great!! Really a high-potential place. The coffee sadly didn’t taste right though and was very bitter and couldn’t really drink all of it. So I had to take a star away
Vibes were immaculate. Super cute space. Staff were rad and friendly. Specifically during this time of the review. Drinks were superb/unique and loved the encouraging messages throughout the shop.

This is a very, very beautifully decorated coffee shop with an eye for detail. It was great to see their rotating signature drinks. I tried a strawberry matcha for the first time and my husband had a blackberry matcha lemonade. Both were too sweet for our taste, but how creative! The vegan wrap was delicious and I would have tried every single pastry in the window from how tasty they looked. It's a little on the pricey side but that was to be expected.

If you're looking for great coffee in Tacoma, then head up to Common Ground, located on Tacoma Ave near the Brewery District. Featuring specialty coffee from Indaba Coffee in Spokane, this welcoming cafe is a great spot to meet up with family & friends.
Recommendation: Pair your coffee with one of their fresh local pastries or sandwiches. So good!

Amazing coffee! Had a mocha and an orange rosemary sprosoda and they were really well constructed. The vibe was excellent, baristas were so nice and the cafe was full of people who looked happy to be there.
