Common Grounds Woodway

I would like these five stars to specifically go to the barista that was working Monday, September 26th at 3:50 PM. Best tasting Iced Cowboy coffee I have ever had in muh life. I wish the feeling post sip could last forever. ❤️

Love this place. Best coffee shop I've ever been to. My favorite coffee is the Pig Swig. Ah, it's heavenly!

Great coffee and excellent pizza!

Every employee I've had the pleasure of having contact with are super amazing. The drinks always come out perfect. I love this place

All the great coffee drinks Common Grounds is known for? Check! Native Sons roasting coffee beans in the building? Check! Plenty of seating appropriate for conversation or work/study? Check! And it's SO MUCH roomier than the legendary 8th street location. Add to all of that a draft beer bar and great pizza on the other side of the building, and you've got an excellent place for the entire family to enjoy an afternoon or an evening.

Went there for Hot Chocolate and a Vanilla Latte. Both were incredible! The parking lot was hard to find at first, and when we did, it was very packed and hard to fit through. It is a charming establishment with great drinks!!

This Woodway location is much different from the other common grounds locations. Let me start by saying that if I was using the indoor space to eat and drink, I would have no problems with tipping. If you order through the drive through, they will still ask for tips. If you do not tip they get upset. I paid in cash for a coffee that was 5.25 and the lady held on to my money and said "your coffee will be ready soon." When I asked for my change back she didn't apologize, just said nothing and stormed off. Someone else gave me my coffee and change. I understand the tips thing goes all the way to upper management but it sure makes for a really unpleasant experience if you do not want to give a tip.

The staff is really helpful in suggesting a coffee. I was not a fan of the coffee but I am unsure yet if it was actually the coffee or the vanilla flavoring, it tasted a bit like cinnamon maybe which I didn't like. I will be going back to try some others and ask so I can get the perfect cup for me. My girls loved the hot chocolate and the prices are very reasonable unlike starbucks. I gave this place a 4 star because their drive thru was set up terribly and the parking lot is small so if you don't make it in the right way for the drive thru you can't really pull past other cars. It makes it kind of frustrating but that will only be on your very first visit because after that you will know :)

Their coffee is amazing, their pizza however is very, normal. That's the only way i can describe it. There is nothing about it that truly stands out, other than the flavor opportunities. But the crust is very generic, same with sauce. You could honestly make the same pizza at home.
I will say this. If you want a quiet evening, this is not the place. Its usually always packed with people. I highly recommend if you're like me with social anxiety, this is a place to order out. Lots of people, and lots of kids running around. Occasionally, there will be dogs in the back with the outdoor seating.
The inside seating is definitely more relaxed than outside, especially the coffee side of the restaurant. But with summer approaching, this will change. It's a huge hit with college kids and younger people.
Its still a great place to enjoy an evening out if you're into the more "hipster" scene, but if you're not then grabbing a coffee through the drive thru is the way to go.

The view was decent, not excellent. At least it was unique.

It was really hectic and they forgot to make my drink. +/-15 minutes for my drink.

The workers were really nice.
