Common Grounds Coffee House & Desserts

Loved the place. Great coffee and the Brownie was yummy

Delicious coffee and the service was nice. Nice place

Are you visiting Apex? Need some coffee? Do not look anywhere else. Seriously. As soon as you step inside your eyes are going to be delighted by their unique wall of mugs and other little trinkets of decor. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming. The food? PHENOMENAL. The coffee? To die for (plus soooooo many flavors). Don’t even get me started on the gelato. But the best part? The staff. So warm, welcoming and fun!! Seriously one of my favorite coffee places of all time and I’ve traveled the world.

This is my favourite coffee place in the Apex Downtown area. Quietly placed in a corner and have some of the best locally brewed coffee. I love their Caramel Machhiato and Latte.

Last year I would’ve given 5 stars, the reason I’m giving it 4 stars is because of the inconsistency. Depending on who’s working the coffee is earlier fantastic, or just ok. Still worth going but when you’re a regular here, the inconsistency can become a little frustrating. It all depends on who’s working & what time of day you go. Overall a good local coffee shop!

Very friendly staff, good atmosphere, and nice place in general with lots of options (a few gluten free options). Ultimately, I'm coming here for the coffee. I give it a 2-star rating because the coffee is not good. It tastes watery and almost stale, and if you're looking for good tasting coffee or quality syrups (they use monin brand syrups) this isn't the place to go.

Coffee was really good. The ambiance of this place makes you feel welcome and service was really nice. We bought Oak City coffee grounds from here and we really like it, thanks to the Barista for recommending it. They have cute coffee mugs and other items to pick up buy as well. Definitely worth it to stop by and get a drink.

Today we had the brewed coffee of the day, which was excellent. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming. The barista was ideal, great smile, inviting personality, but not over the top and he remembers the regulars' drinks of choice. The shop is clean and neat.

Nice little coffee shop near historic area of town.

Day date with hubby involved the need for cinnamon rolls and a frappuccino. .. resulting in us ending up here.
This was a lovely little place and our tastebuds were satisfied. This was an awesome space that allowed for conversation and limited distractions around us. We look forward to returning when we visit the area again.
