Common Grounds Café

Love this place! I don't drink coffee, but their hot cocoa is lovely and the whipped cream tastes real and they don't skimp on it. Service is super fast and friendly. They have a microwave so you can heat up your food as much as you want. Lots of refrigerated options, the sandwiches and wraps are a little pricey but very tasty. And the cinnamon rolls, oh my GOD. Heaven, seriously just go treat yourself to a giant gooey cinnamon roll. I have tried so many different cinnamon rolls in my life and these are some of the best ever. This place is the best part of Centennial.

Best place for an iced chai!

Love it. Mandatory stop before going to study at the library.

Thank you guys

Not happy. I ordered bousted strawberry mango and I expected exactly how they show in the ordering page. But I got just flavored sparkling water. I went back and asked if my order was changed and they said no .. this is how the drink will be. Then why would you keep a differnt image and fool us.🤨
Not happy at all.

Nice stout brew and oat milk option so bonus! The barista was very nice. The food is Mediterranean and you will need to microwave your sandwich.

The ice cream is fantastic and the coffee is great too. Convenient location on campus and lots of snack and food options for people studying in the library or visiting for a conference. The table area is a little small and the lines can get long when its busy, however, and the parking can be tricky too.

Good coffee, quickly and inexpensively made. Friendly staff. And... Howling Cow ice cream --- locally made over the hill. One of the few places in town where you can buy it.

Since reopening under new management, the food is excellent. I am enjoying the variety from breakfast, lunch, dinner, and dessert. Good is reasonably priced for the quality.

Located in the modern Hunt Libary, Common Grounds Cafe is the prime location on Centennial Campus to get Howling Cow Ice Cream (a product of NC State University's Department of Food Science).

For the rest of the world, there's Coffee and Snacks...

As all college student know, caffeine equals energy and this place delivers exactly that with its double chocolate mochas

Coffee is okay, but convenient for when in the library. The Ice cream sundaes are expensive but quite amazing.
