The coffee is also great. My go to is lavender latte and it comes with beautiful milk foam art! Such a nice touch. The baristas are so talented. Their branded merchandise is also great. They have a pretty good selection. In all my visits, I only had one time where all the seats were taken. I will definitely keep coming back for meetings.

Terrible service, the blonde older woman (I assume is the owner) came off flat out rude hence to…read morethis is about 7 am so right when i wake up and just want to start my day right she just seemed at rush and continuously and obviously was just talking to the person on the other side. my coffee tasted so burnt and was scrotching hot and morw sweet than i usually get at other huts. she was also talking in the back with the other coworker fo about 5 minutes befofe she even started on my drink.i would 100% not recommend this shop not because of just the bad service but also due to waiting about 20 minutes for one coffee and it being in such an awkward location.

This is a new coffee hut on d Seward and 100th. It has replaced the cafe in the strip mall and is…read morenow only a drive thru. We came on a Sunday afternoon. The barista was very friendly and we got our drinks relatively quick. They serve cold brew year round here and at their cafes. Other coffee huts make their own or carry their cold brew but not year round. I like that they post their flavored syrups so you know what they have also. Downside- they are a bit pricey compared to other coffee huts, even though the majority of the other huts all around town carry kaladi brothers coffee. I believe they have health insurance and pay their employees well(?) so they charge more? Secondly they also do not have stickers for your cup opening nor do they do punch cards. The girl said if they did punch cards here they would have to do it for all their cafes. I get it but they are not being competitive with other huts by following that practice. I got a 12oz mocha, for $5!! If my husband wasn't so nice I would never come here and pay that especially when I can work up to a free coffee down the road or across town at our favorite hut. A large cold brew was $5.25. Other places charge around 4.50 for each of our drinks respectively.

The baked Items were top notch, though I was super hungry so that might have pushed the snicker doodle cookie with espresso topping over where other wise it would have just been good :) The seating seemed nice and relaxed and a good place to watch the world go by and just take a break.

This Common Grounds Espresso is located on Old Seward near Subway across from Audi…read more Although I don't drink coffee at my big age, matcha and chai are my jam, while Red Bull smoothies were fun in my 20's. They also have lollipop-topped hot chocolate for the kiddos FYI. Though the baristas change, overall service is usually pleasant. CGE has creative monthly drink specials. This visit, I got their "Grinch." It was matcha based and delicious. For my Ma, I ordered a vanilla chai with almond milk. I was asked if I wanted to add a tip to the card I provided to pay. I planned to, but them asking first, in addition to, not being shown my tip options on a screen, wasn't something I expected. I told the barista 35% was fine. I was given my drinks and my card. No receipt....I don't like that.

With everything that has been going on regarding COVID-19, it has been distracting enough not to…read morehave put out any reviews for some time especially when a vast majority of businesses remain closed. We are seeing a light at the end of the tunnel though as other stores and restaurants will open for the first time in weeks but within health guidelines. The coffee huts have remained open during this whole time and I find it a welcome respite at the end of the day after being cooped up all day in the house working from home. Common Grounds Espresso is located off the corner of Old Seward and Dowling directly across from Subway. The baristas here are always friendly and expertly follow safety guidelines when interacting with customers. You are encouraged to pay with a card but cash is still accepted. When you do pay, they will hand the card machine to you for processing the transaction or your cash after properly preparing your drink order. Common Grounds has been getting very creative with their promotional menu as of late. There is now an expanded selection of their monthly drink specials and some of them are low-carb or Keto-friendly for those on a diet. It may seem irrelevant at this point since a lot of us feel the need to gorge ourselves especially when we are confined to the house most of the time. I myself am guilty of doing that based on some of the pics I've posted from restaurants I ordered from during my lunch break. However, I haven't completely lost focus on maintaining body weight especially trying to stay active when sitting around the house a lot of the time. I decided to try one of their specialty drinks called the Skinny Bob Marley, a low-carb Americano with a versatile mix of sugar-free coconut, banana, hazelnut, and caramel mixed with heavy cream. I ordered the iced version in a 24oz. with four shots of espresso. It was one of the best coffee drinks I've had recently. Just an FYI, they close at 6PM daily until the city loosens the restrictions in place during the Hunker Down order.
