Common Grounds

Really good coffee and service. The staff is friendly and the shop itself is clean and decorated well. Why go to Starbucks (aka the Walmart of coffee houses) when you have such a great locally owned business! The selection is also great.

The coffee here is so good! My favorite is the Leonardo DiCaprio latte. The owners are chill too! Very nice atmosphere.

Great place to have a cup of coffee a beer or glass of wine.You can read a book or listen to one of the many talented musicians that play there.In the heart of Lindley park and the only bar open on the corner of Elam and Walker right now! Dusty and Michelle Keene are the owner/ operator stop in and sit a spell they also put in a new draft beer system .

I have been coming to common grounds for nearly 2 years about once or twice a month. Today upon arrival I had forgotten my mask. The gentleman at the register was very polite and kind asked me how my day was. The barista then stepped over and tossed a mask onto the counter (unsanitary) with her bare hands (also unsanitary). I proceeded to share the fact that masks do not protect us from viruses and you can tell this because when I wear a mask my glasses fog up. Proving that unfiltered air from my mask escapes the mask.
I then asked the barista why she wasn’t wearing gloves if being sanitary was a focus of theirs. She then jumped on my case telling me that I was the only one in six months to complain (keep in mind I wasn’t wearing a mask upon entry). She told me if I didn’t like it I could leave and go somewhere else.
If you have a standard of sanitation it should be consistent across the board you shouldn’t be picking and choosing what measures you like and don’t like based on your opinion but rather the best needs and concerns of your customer.
From now on my coffee will be purchase elsewhere. Don, I hope to see you somewhere else at some point.

It's not Starbucks which makes it awesome. I pay $5 for a small iced coffee here. The taste is incomperable to other places I've been. It's worth it when I want a quality coffee. For me I'd rather pay $5 for a smaller, but more delicious coffee than my giant $3 drink of choice at starshmucks :)

Quirky coffee shop, good coffee!

Cozy & vintage style coffee shop. Fresh & Aroma-rich coffee.

Best coffee shop in gso, if not the state, if not the country! Great staff, fantastic drinks, killer ice cream, and best vibe! 100/10 would recommend.

Coffee is always good. Feels kind of clicky though. Like you have to be part of the crowd to be welcomed there. The lady making the coffee was too busy talking to her friends to make conversation with customers.

Owner does not care about your safety regarding covid 19, even when concerns are voiced by customers/staff. when concerns were voiced, they were quickly dismissed in the pursuit of making more money,. The staff is incredible and hard working.
