Love this place but there’s this one blonde girl that works there and she is very rude. I came in with a group of girls and she was very pushy, and acted upset when she was getting business. Like she actually had to do something. She even swore at one of my friends. Common Ground will still always have my business I just wanted to make the situation aware.

Great coffee shop to check out. The person behind the counter was friendly. They also serve sandwiches and wraps which were tasty. The atmosphere here is nice as well.

A bit smaller cups of coffee but lower price also and the coffee is awesome! I had one of their sandwiches and it was very tasty so I would recommend this place to everybody!

Ordered two caramel frappes, with three shots of espresso, got vanilla instead with no espresso, waited in line a second time to tell them it was wrong - I felt terrible because they were busy, explained/apologized and the woman making the drinks didn’t apologize at all and told me very coldly “it’s caramel, but there’s no espresso in them” Which I feel is a problem in itself, I paid 18 dollars for the extra shots of espresso, took my drinks back, moments later she came back with them and one of them was the same vanilla frappe, one was a half liquid drink and said “the one you drank from is free, here’s three shots of espresso and some caramel” (in the other cup with half poured out vanilla frappe in the bottom and so much caramel) then she said “we didn’t know what was going on when you said three, so just drink it” And walked away from me. I had spent 40 minutes in there, just to leave in tears out of frustration - I don’t usually stick up for myself and figured it could be such an easy fix and got treated poorly for it.

It was a good experience. It's very Christian oriented which is super amazing. I got a hot chocolate and it wasn't as chocolatey as I wanted it to be. There drinks are kind of expensive as well. But good place!

Rented the Upper Room for my daughter's bridal shower. The space is very large, literally the entire upper floor of the repurposed factory/warehouse. The room is decorated in a loose industrial/antique automotive motif with vintage tables and chairs. It has lovely antique wood and natural lighting, and concrete floors throughout. We brought our own food for the party, and ordered coffee from the cafe. Every single drink was declared delicious. Excellent barista on staff, both in beverage prep and accommodating service. Our party lasted past store-closing; we just had to agree to "lock up" after ourselves. Several faith groups use the coffee shop for meetings and worship. There is a clear Abrahamic faith-oriented feel to the rooms available for rent, a Bible here or there, Hebrew lettering on a sign, but nothing ostentatious as to make you feel unwelcome.
