★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 David Nguyen · Sep 2025

(Originally 4/5 stars) Coffee is amazing per usual but please, the 2 cups stack together cause my drink to keep spilling all over me while im trying to figure out why it’s leaking. If it’s stuck together just throw it away and use a singular cup if it’s hard to take apart. (Coming from a former barista). $8 for coffee and it kept spilling and having to take the lid off just to take a sip is no bueno. Sipping experience 3/10. Coffee 9/10 again 👍🏼. Update. Oct 5. Was a 4 star prior to this but had enough. Not really good customers services and without and greeting but it’s fine. As long as the coffee is good right? Nope. Latte was terrible and tasted like a americano. Very inconsistent and no idea on how to make a salted caramel large latte. I’m tired of spending 8 dollars for something tha

We were walking around downtown and came across this place. My wife always loves to try local coffee shops. We stepped in here and were blown away. They offer all the usual drinks, yet they also offer lattes inspired by Hollywood stars. I got the Leonardo Dicaprio, which was a vanilla and honey infused latte. It was pretty good. But the star of the show was the abundance of great seating options. The inside offered moody, comfortable lounge seating. Yet, the outside offered cozy natural seating. This is a great local find.

Common Grounds Coffee downtown is an absolute gem! From the moment you step in, you're greeted with warmth and a welcoming atmosphere. The star named drinks are not only delicious but truly unique, adding an extra spark to your coffee experience. The friendly service makes you feel right at home, and the ample space allows for both productivity and relaxation. Plus, the outdoor seating area is perfect for enjoying your coffee on sunny days, with a great ambiance that enhances the entire experience. Whether you're meeting friends, getting work done, or simply indulging in a moment of bliss,

The vibe at this coffee shop was great! There was nice lighting, vintage decor, and a relaxed atmosphere. The barista was very helpful and patient, especially since I was looking for sugar-free options. I also loved the outdoor seating option!

A lot of times I avoid downtown because of problems finding parking, but common grounds has a huge parking lot and a great vibe as well as great coffee! Great start to a Tuesday morning! ☕️☕️✌️
