TERI Common Grounds Café & Coffee Bar

What a great hidden gem in north Escondido. This coffee shop and cafe, part of the Teri campus serving those with developmental needs, is a training tool for participants. There is a great assortment of coffees and food. Additionally beer and wine is available and an evening happy hour happens as well. This is a great addition to the community and an organic/zero waste complex from what I understand too. The WiFi is awesome and seating is plenty.

Nice place. Outdoor seating has good views and overhead mist sprays every few minutes when the weather is hot. Cafe has a lot of food options, just nothing exquisite. Prices are just right but a tad high for their sandwiches. Location is special, quite, scheduled, private unless it's busy. Venue is new and magnificent nestled within a nice backdrop of small mountains.

Beautiful location, I accidentally bypassed it at first but finding our way back home was way easier. Lots of open land around, we walked up and there are d plenty of outdoor and indoor seating. Friday night and there was even live music on the patio area.

Teri had a great variety of food and coffee/non coffee beverage options on the menu as well as standing fridges with a variety of canned and bottle options (everything from freshly squeezed orange juice to even a large selection of beers and wine). Looked like they even had wine by the glass as well. I got my standard Americano, 30 oz was about $3 +/- and it was really good. The kids opted for hot chocolates which they really enjoyed and they were very reasonably priced.

I got a few chocolate chip cookies and coffee/brown butter/walnut cookies to bring home. My son got a breakfast bagel to snack on (what's better than breakfast around dinner?) And my daughter got one of her favorites, a jalepeno cheese bagel. She really enjoyed it, said one of the most flavorful, best best bagels she has had.

The staff was super friendly and all smiles. It was quite busy for a Friday evening which is good and the staff kept up with the crowd. There is also a cute store where you can purchase some locally made items like jams, jellies and dog treats. Some fun gems, I got a cute homemade ghost magnet. Looks like they also have an event space as well as some fun activities planned.

We'll be back soon, great place to hang out and just relax. Plus Teri is doing a great job helping out their community and great causes. Thank you TERI, Yelp Elite, and Anne for another awesome night out!

This place is so awesome. They do horse therapy for special needs individuals. They have a restaurant and happy hour. The food is delicious. $5 glasses of wine yes please! If you're passing on deer springs stop by.

Fantastic coffee and smoothie drinks, great service and the atmosphere/backdrop is unmatched in San Marcos as far as cafés go. It might be a little drive, but we'll worth it!

Awesome food, coffee, espresso and more, in a beautiful setting - and all with a real purpose… furthering the special mission of TERI, Inc. Scratch-made just about everything, like Chef Dan’s ridiculously good red & green salsa with the breakfast burrito. TERI farms source many of the ingredients as well. The Deer Springs Rd area is a food desert no more!

patrick made my experience really unfortunate. i was really excited to come here based on the reviews , i immediately felt unwelcomed . i greeted him because he did not acknowledge me . no smile nothing . he looked at me as if i was dumb when ordering normal drinks . i wanted to try the breakfast burrito but just got what i came in for because i wanted to leave asap. the girl there was sweet i didn’t communicate with her very much . won’t be back .

A hidden gem in north San Diego county! great food and drink, friendly staff and I loved the live music! I will definitely be back

This place is a hidden gem! Amazing food and beverages, great gifts, and by supporting this non-profit business you're supporting a better, more understanding, world for autistic and disabled folks.

What an awesome place! It’s set in a beautiful atmosphere, they have friendly service, and incredible food! My husband and I got the avocado toast, and the grilled cheese. The food was so fresh and full of flavor! We also got the s’more’s cookie and coffee drinks as well. They were delicious, and we spent a lot of time in their store! All in all a fantastic experience! I literally am going to bring all my friends here. I love this place! 😍
