    Love the concept of this place! Coffee and a play date is my type of mom spot. Here they have a good coffee selection, with a few pastries, and indoor/outdoor seating area. On a sunny day like today, I was glad there was plenty of shaded areas to sit while watching my kid play inside the gated park. I had a vanilla latte with oat milk and almond croissant. Both were really good. The baristas were really nice too. Would definitely recommend for anyone looking for a new place to take your kids for a playdate or just to grab some coffee!

    I am such a fan of this new coffee shop that opened up in Elk Grove ! We are regulars at the coffee spot right around the corner, but they don't offer matcha . Here , at common coffee you get a bit of everything and the vibes are immaculate . I visited this place out for the first time to meet up with my cousin and we both enjoyed the ambiance and our drinks! The customer service was also great ! Nice and cozy inside but they offer outdoor seating which is was enjoyable . I highly recommend common coffee for their good drinks and cozy vibes !

    I've been here twice since they opened and have had great experiences both times! They do have plenty of parking behind the building, so just make sure you turn in from the main road (one driveway is an entrance and the other one closer to EG Blvd is an exit). There are doors to the coffee shop from the front or the back of the building. At the front side, there is plenty of seating, and the back side at the parking lot has a playground and some more tables out there! We will definitely be frequenting this coffee shop often, thanks to the playground. The menu is pretty simple but they have several specialty options which is great! I have enjoyed the Olive Grove the most - it's on the sweeter side if you like sweeter coffee drinks. If you like more bitter then the Tahini Einspanner is a good choice. If you're a cinnamon fan, try the Canela Latte (make sure to mix well). If you still want caffeine but not coffee, try the Green Emerald which is their version of a Thai green tea. Service has been great both times. They are very friendly, and each time they walk the drinks out to you rather than making you pick up at the counter. There are still more drinks I want to try so we will definitely be returning!!

    Newer coffee spot! I was so excited to come and try. Parking was a bit confusing, I didn't know it was connected to a church. Two entrances to the coffee shop. I love how cute and cozy this place is, beautifully decorated. Their outdoor patio has benches with umbrellas and Christmas lights. Inside is super quaint, very limited seating, and only three desk/tables. There were also kids running around, enjoying drinks, and screaming. So definitely more of a cafe for sipping and chatting rather than a sit and study cafe. But they do have free WiFi available. The baristas are soft spoken, polite, and attentive. I love that they personally bring out drinks to customers wherever they are seated with a coaster. But it is a bit of a wait about 15-20 minutes for 3 drinks even though we were the only ones there. Upon ordering drinks, the barista told me I couldn't make any modifications to their signature drinks. So I tried the Canela Latte as is. I heard a lot of great things about it but I felt disappointed. It had clumps of cinnamon floating around and kept getting stuck in my straw which was a bit annoying. Ultimately, TOO MUCH cinnamon in the drink, when it settled I could see 1/2 inch of the bottom of the cup filled with it. The matcha latte was even worse. SO bland, so light, I couldn't taste the matcha flavor at all. It just tasted like milk, I ended up tossing it. Also neither drinks were filled to the top and the cup was mostly filled with ice. I don't think I will be returning.

    I saw this coffee shop all over my tiktok during grand opening week and had to check it out for myself. It's located right next to a church and they share the same parking lot. I just parked right next door at SEA Hut and walked right over. I ended up going with the Matcha Einspänner ($7.50 before tax + tip) and a friend of mine got the Tahini Einspänner ($7 before tax + tip). Unfortunately, I was disappointed in both of these drinks. The matcha honestly had to no flavoring it to. It tasted straight up like milk. Overtime, as the drink started to mix in, you can tell that there was just too much milk and cream. I also wasn't a fan of the date syrup they add to this. I ended up tossing the drink :( My friend said her tahini einspänner was also a miss, and ended up tossing hers as well. Too milky, with aftertastes of espresso, and no flavoring. On the bright side-- they had a beautiful pumpkin patch and picnic tables and benches right outside. I thought this was a great place to work, study, or read. The inside of the cafe is clean, open, and airy, also a great place to hangout or study. Additionally, the girl working up front was very sweet and friendly.

    Coffee - 3.1 Service - 2.5 On a whim, my daughter wanted coffee after her eye appointment. So down the street we go to try Common Coffee. As you pull into their parking there's a cute little park for the kiddos, but when you get inside the building the coffee place felt stripped down = no frill no thrills just a counter / coffee station with a small menu on the wall with some seating. And the service gave off the same vibe: order, pay, pick up drinks and leave. Now because I'm with my daughter I go out of my comfort zone and order a Canela Latte (& not just a drip coffee) and my daughter orders the Olive Grove. Drink taste on the Canale Latte was surprisingly good, not overly sweet, but just a bit too much cinnamon to my liking. My daughter drink was = mid to meh which doesn't surprise me since her palette is much more refined than mine these days. We may give this establishment another try

    I'm only taking a half star off because I was confused about the parking situation to get in... park around back and there is an entry point from the front street side or the back. It IS inside the church. But not IN the church. If you go you'll understand. Nice seating area (inside and outside) and the barista brought our drinks out to us. So nice! Lofi cafe music vibes. Cozy. Ordered the doppio (double shot espresso) and the snooze off (decaf latte) - good flavor but half star off because they weren't that hot. Still good.

    Tahini Latte and Canela latte?
    Disha K.

    Food: they serve focaccia bread but did not get it Drinks: I ordered the Tahini Einspänner and at first, I thought it was ok but after 10 mins or so, it was perfection. The tahini whipped cream was so creamy, would definitely recommend it. Another drink we got was Canela Latte, I really like it too! Service: Great, was quick and helpful in decide which drink to get! Just fyi: this is inside a church but don't let that hold you back. It's a fab place! Ambiance: chill and inviting place!

    A new coffee shop opened in town and I'm here for it! They are open 6 am to 6 pm, Monday - Saturday. They're closed Sundays. That means you have 6 chances to visit Common Coffee or more if you live around the area. It appears to be shared space with the church but the church is open on Sundays for their service which makes sense why the cafe is open everyday except Sunday. They moved from their previous location and I've been waiting for them to open up in Elk Grove as soon as I saw signs. I was greeted immediately upon entering and there were a few people already in the cafe. The space they have is open & spacious. There are a few chairs and smaller tables to sit & do work. They also have an outside patio. There's a pumpkin patch in the front for the littles too! The cafe has something for everyone be it tea or coffee. I chose coffee but couldn't decide, I like my coffee balanced a mixture of great espresso and a bit of sweetness. I wanted the thyme latte but they were sold out and the cashier taking my order recommended the Olive Grove, Spanish Latte (has condensed milk) and the Canela Latte. I went with the Canela Latte which is cinnamon, brown sugar, and almond milk. It reminds me of a horchata! It was very sweet for me. If I were to order this again, I'd request for half sweet. Often times I forget that sweet means really sweet if I'm not making my own coffee. Service was really good and everyone was so sweet and welcoming! I'm excited to come back to try their other offerings.

    This place is basically the human embodiment of a Sunday morning playlist (except they open Monday - Saturday only). Minimal decor, soft lo-fi beats, and sunshine pouring in like it's auditioning for a vitamin D commercial. The single origin Ethiopian espresso was lovely: fruity, bright, and blessedly not sour. It's the kind of coffee that makes you say "notes of berry" even if you don't know what that means. The Common Ground Latte tasted like a warm hug with just the right sweetness, but the espresso flavor was on vacation. Still, it tasted like a cozy apology for all your bad Mondays. Friendly baristas who actually make eye contact and give real recommendations instead of just saying "everything's good." Great spot for reading, journaling, or pretending you're working remotely.

    What a cute coffee shop. I love that they are basically connected to a church, they have a very close playground, and the coffee is really good quality. I was a little scared to try the Olive Grove because I've never had something like that, but it was surprisingly good. The staff are really kind and helpful. They have seats inside and outside, but I do wish they had more inside, but that's alright. I'm excited to come back and try more items.

    I believe this is a new coffee shop in elk Grove that just opened up. When I walked in, it wasn't too busy, but the vibe of the coffee shop was very chill and welcoming. The cashier was very kind and when we received our drinks, they brought them to us on a tray. I was overall impressed by this place the coffee was amazing and I recommend that you come try.

I almost decided to not order anything since I felt full from ramen but with reasonable prices and the opportunity to try a new yogurt-based boba drink (I haven't seen many of them in Sac), I thought why not. 25% sugar is the move for Strawberry Blizz ($6.75). It's a strawberry blend with a wonderful conglomeration of flavors between the smoothness of the strawberries, harder textured apples/mangoes, and honey aftertaste of the boba. I didn't sample the milk or fruit teas but I highly recommend giving the yogurt blizz drinks a try instead.

Moo moo has a selection of snacks and other dessert, however when I looked at the menu, I noticed that many items where not available anymore and covered by a post in.

Secondly, I asked for half sweet and their drinks are over sweet. I realky like their ube cloud foam. I like the vibe of the location and love that it is clean. I came in on a Monday and there weren't many customers. I would study here, there are a few outlets available for charging.

It wasn't busy at all when I was there around 1pm. Service was good. I ordered the La bou chicken salad and some Thai chicken soup. Also got a turkey sandwich on baguette. The La bou salad was refreshing but the dill sauce jar I got for it was a bit light and runny this time around. Not the usual semi thick dill sauce they used to have. The Thai soup was flavorful. And the turkey on baguette was good. The turkey hot bake was great just wished the dill sauce wasn't thin water like. I also ordered Togo for my kids and a man took my order as I was walking up to pick it up. I heard my number called so I walked up . Didn't realized it was mine until I asked and they said they had just placed it on counter. So I told them the man must've took it because I don't see any bags.
