The Common Ground

Little local shop. Walked in to purchase drinks. One person staff. If you are ordering multiple drinks pack your patience because it's gonna take a minute. Drinks were good, customer service was good. Smoothie had some issues with ice chunks which was expected as we watched the poor staff guy practically strangle the blender and shake the life out of it for the blended drinks. 🤣 so the ice chunks coupled with the super thin straws was a hurdle but we managed!

Real espresso machine that produced 2 phenomenal black creamy espressos. Super nice lady behind the counter. Felt very comfortable on the couch!

Some of the best coffee in the area. It’s priced at what you’d expect for “specialty” coffee - lattes, etc. I hope in the future, the menu expands because not only is the coffee great, but the baked items are phenomenal.

The best Barista in the area. Unlike most Baristas in the area, not only did she actually steam clean the portafilter when she was done but she even pre-heated everything before pulling the shot. The coffee roast for a regular espresso was not my preference but it was done nicely and would make a great latte or cappuccino.... which undoubtedly is the majority of the business. Would love to see then offer either a locally roasted coffee or something that tastes a little less commercial. As long as the quality stays where it's at, I'll keep coming back.
