Hidden Gem of Waterbury! Delicious food made fresh and served with sunshine by owner Yelana. Such a cozy spot with creative flair. Lots of wall eye candy. The Java brings me joy, served in mugs, no two are the same. Love the pastries, the combinations are one of a kind like cinnamon bun chocolate chip cookies. Great spot to meet friends and relax, just something super special about this place. Try it yourself and see.

Common Grounds Bistro was a great experience! I highly recommend trying this place out for a unique experience. The environment was inviting. It makes for a great place for breakfast a lunch date. The Brazilian lemonade was surely a treat!

Great place with a friendly atmosphere and lots of creative art on the walls for sale! Fun to stop for coffee (lots of flavors) and a choice of homemade baked goods, have a meal or ice cream sundae or shake. Always great conversation with Yelena, the owner. Also we love the cozy fireplace in the wintertime!

This is such a cute coffee & food spot. They offer variety of coffee, yeas, hot chocolate and more. You can get breakfast and lunch foods here or a pastry . The vibe is chill and cozy. Food was great looking forward to try other things on their menu

This little corner bistro is absolutely phenomenal!! If you are anywhere in the area and you can appreciate food that speaks to both your heart and soul then you have got to stop by and give them a try. Their drink selection alone is mind blowing. I had the "cookie monster" milkshake and it literally tasted like someone baked a fresh batch of cookies in my cup. So creamy and delicious! Their presentation of both food and drink puts them on a whole different level. My milkshake had gummy worms, all sorts of fancy sprinkles and even a couple cookie wafers. Everything is made with so much heart and soul you can taste it with every bite. From homemade french soup, to perfectly done avocado toast this places skimps on nothing and they truly aim to Thank You for your patronage. The staff was very friendly, service was phenomenal and the place was cozy and comfortable. Give them a try and you won't be disappointed. One of those little neighborhood hidden jem places that will totally WOW you !!

I've come to this place a couple times now, and I have to say it's a great little spot with options you'd be hard pressed to find anywhere nearby. Awesome hot chocolate options, different food items like various crepes and Mediterranean avocado toast along with various sandwich choices for lunch. You can get a variety of coffees,teas and/or milkshakes to enjoy. This is not a super quick and cheap spot churning out basic breakfast sandwiches(you can always get a breakfast sandwich if you want) but a quaint place with a chill vibe that's well worth the experience. The people are inviting and the atmosphere something you'd never expect in the area. Along with board games and a cozy fireplace to boot, I would definitely recommend this gem 👍

Yelena is the owner, she’s not only the one making the delicious food.. BUT can we talk about the decorations?! Yep, all her! She’s a gem! From her customer service, to how delicious everything comes out! I’m new to CT and I’m SOOO glad I came across this place! This is my third time here and now I just walk in and ask her to make me whatever she’s in the mood for! Highly recommend you give this place a try! You won’t regret it. 😊
