A cute coffee shop. They have a small variety of baked goods and other foods. They have a large variety of drinks including coffees and teas. One of the few places that I found that sold turmeric lattes and have a variety of non-caffenated drinks. There's seating inside and outside. Service was fast read more

Always trek in to Common Grounds when in Harlem. Great for a hot tea or latte as well as a quick sandwich, breakfast bites and/or dessert. Staff are always welcoming and the service is A+.

Great local cafe with all the basics and some bonuses, like being dog friendly! Service is friendly and patient with changes on mind. Come here for the cozy local chairs and tables with bookcase and generally enough quiet or space to be able to think! If you don't see something you're thinking of on the menu, check the cooler to see if there's something there too. Glad they have some Gluten-free pastry and vegan items too. read more

The staff, coffee, treats and overall vibe are all top notch. Five stars all around. One of my favorite places to grab a quick coffee, easy breakfast or just have a snack and read in their comfortable room. A big asset to our community and worth the trip is you're exploring the area from another neighborhood. read more

Common Good Harlem - Pop in to Common Good Harlem and become part of the neighborhood vibe! - Cafes Near Me - New York, New York

Stopped in for lunch with my daughter-in-law and had a great time. We found a table and tucked into a corner to catch up. I ordered a latte (fantastic) and a chicken salad sandwich. I had originally wanted tuna, but they were out and suggested the chicken salad and I was skeptical, but they were RIGHT ON! Servers are super friendly and there is even a small section in the back where local artists can sell their jewelry/body products. read more

Common Good Harlem - Cafes Near Me - New York, New York

Connected with my sister here a few times when we were both in New York. We grew up in Harlem and have been excited to explore some of the great places that have popped up over the years. The staff was great as was the coffee (I got an iced mocha and my sister had an iced latte). The shop had a laid back and chill vibe. I also had a sausage, egg and cheese croissant breakfast sandwich which was really good. This spot is a gem and I would highly recommend it. read more

We stopped by to pick up a coffee and check this spot out. Walking in you are greeted by the owner who is very nice. The cafe is clean and bright. They also have WiFi. Coffee is great. I had a pecan sticky bun. Wasn't the best but I wasn't the worst. We will be back. read more

Cafe is very cute and quiet to study! The music isn't loud at all, the baristas are super friendly, and there's a lot of space! If you're a student like me, then you'll appreciate the free wifi, outlets, and bathroom. Their loaded bagel was pretty good for a cafe and their lemonade is so tart and delicious! I will say, it is a bit on the pricier side, with the lemonade and bagel coming out to 16 dollars. Otherwise very nice cafe and I will be returning! read more

Super cute coffee shop. Owner is very nice. Lots of people just hanging out working enjoying their cup of coffee. Had the toasted and roasted seasonal drink, which tasted like a toasted marshmallow and an oat milk lavender latte, which was scrumptious. Highly recommend stopping by!! read more

Their chai tea was lovely! I appreciate the little library they have in the back! Also I appreciate the art pieces they have there to just have the energy flow freely there! Service was quick and attentive. It's a nice spot! Their decorations on the holidays are so cute! read more

I stopped by this place while visiting family, chasing their overnight oats. The oats were really good, and surprisingly affordable. The place was so cute I decided I'd eat my breakfast there. Well, I liked it so much I went home and brought my stuff to work remotely from Common Good. The next day I showed up again. Karina remembered me, quoted me my orders from the day before, and gave me a loyalty card. I felt comfortable in the shop, with funky r&b mixed with oldies and others. The cook behind the counter - whose name I didn't get - was also friendly but not intrusive, which I appreciated. Made it back today for day 3. Was sad not to see my dear friend Karina (we're besties now, basically), but my cook friend was there, along with two other staff members. I had my overnight oats for a third consecutive day, and tried the pumpkin spice latte, as well as the grilled cheese panini (add turkey), and a green tea lemonade. This place is fantastic. Sad to be leaving my hometown, especially after finding a new favorite place. Here's to convincing my husband we need to move back! read more

Stopped in on a walk and got a Pumpkin Spice Latte, delicious. The gentleman asked preference of milk, hot or cold and if I'd like cinnamon on top. Perfect drink for a cold morning walk. Wish I had more time to sit and enjoy the vibe, seemed like a cozy spot for breakfast and the menu had several things that piqued my interest. read more

I recently went to CGH on Aug. 30th - I asked for a 12oz regular iced tea and everything croissant - the server Matt asked if I wanted an earl grey tea, I said no I'll have a regular black tea [which I've gotten in the past]. He pulls out a small cup [6oz] of black tea, I say yes and before I could finish my sentence, he asked me if I would like the tea that is a lesser price!!! For starters, I asked for a 12oz cup of regular black tea, not earl grey which BTW he ended up giving me even though I didn't ask for it! Secondly, why are you informing me about prices when I did not ask! And I was charged a service charge even though I paid CASH!!! I will never step foot in that awful place again, Matt should be fired and everyone should patronize the Lucille's [across the street] which is a coffee bar by day, serves lunch in the afternoon and has dinner w/live Jazz in the evenings! read more

Great coffee and deserts. The guy who worked there was also really friendly. We just wanted to give our money to someone besides Starbucks,after our friend was burned there. This place has a cool vibe and we were comfortable hanging out for a little bit. read more

Great coffee and snacks! Discovered this café recently as we have friends who live around the corner from them. Cute space. Though during the pandemic they pivoted to a bookshop/market of sorts. If you live in the neighborhood, do support them! read more

Common Good Harlem - a table with books and a vase of flowers - Cafes Near Me - New York, New York

Common Good is the ideal neighborhood cafe. The coffee is good, the staff are friendly, the space is beautiful, and you can stay as long as you'd like. I'm a huge fan of the fresh flowers and assorted houseplants throughout the cafe, and there's something about that natural light that is truly sustaining. Walking into Common Good lifts my mood before I even sit down with my coffee and snacks. $4 for a nothing-special pain au chocolate is a bit steep, but otherwise the pricing is decent: $1.50/$2.25 for small/medium drip coffee, $6-7 breakfast/lunch items. Everything is premade and just reheated upon ordering, so you may need to request that your dish be heated more -- our frittata was served just barely above room temp and would probably have been tastier hot. read more

I love this spot! My go-to in the area and was recommended it by a friend. I get a latte with either skim milks or almond depending how I'm feeling and it always hits the spot. The vibes inside are cozy and the coffee tastes great read more

Karina (the owner) was sweet and the vibes are great! I'm happy the is a coffee spot close to me besides Starbucks. I had the ice coffee which was good and the oatmeal pecan cookies which was yummy! I have no pic of it because I gobbled it up. Since this is a soft open I'll review again in a week or two. The avocado toast good and so does the other menu items. Also like that the price is reasonable. I will be visiting again! read more

Always friendly service with great coffee! A staple of the neighborhood!! Great for working, meeting a friend, or just enjoying your day!

The food is ok. The coffee is good. The orange juice is not fresh. But the worst part and that is why I am giving it two stars is the smell of bacon that inundates the whole place. As a vegetarian person this is very difficult to deal with after you walk smelling bacon all over your clothes. read more

Stopped by today and was so impressed by this great new spot! I ordered an iced draft latte which was sooo creamy and delicious (comes out of a keg and they give samples if you want to try it before!) and a house-made blueberry cornbread muffin. It felt lively yet cozy, with some people reading or working at tables, as well as a steady stream of people coming in for coffee to-go. Highly, highly recommend! read more

Excellent friendly service,very chill spot great strong coffee and sandwiches. Place is pricey but it is well worth it

So so happy to have this lovely oasis in the hood. Try the cheddar chive biscuit and a coconut milk latte.

Don't go to Starbucks don't go to Dunkin come here seriously it's 1000% better cheaper and cleaner !!! I love these kind of places where I can feel warm and homey but they're also quick if I need to run out! Also the service is 10/10 nicest people work here read more

Holy God don't go here. I live next door and have seen this place get fancier and fancier and it's quality tank. This place has the gaul to charge Starbucks prices for terrible coffee and food. I just got an everything crescent and an iced coffee. The crescent is old and stale (at 7:45am. Which means they just kept and sold old pastries and sold them at full price) and the ice coffee tasted like water. Which makes sense cause I've seen them make their iced coffee batch. 10% bottled cold brew qnd 90% water. Go to a bodega. Go to Starbucks. Literally anywhere. I just wasted $10 on water and an old pastry. This place is garbage read more

I have tried this place multiple times and heard a lot of good things about it. So it does confuse me why each time, the coffee was not great. I'll start off by saying the vibes in there are wonderful, the customer service is pretty great and their pastries do look good (I did not try so I cannot vouch for them). But each time, I felt the coffee was not up to standard. I drink a lot of coffee from many different places so my palate is used to it. I got a regular cold brew, the mint refresher, and a regular latte just to try some variety there. They were all a combo of too milky or stale coffee. I really am trying to not rip on them, I live close by and want to give them business. I'm just finding it hard to keep going back and being disappointed each time when coffee as a whole has become quite expensive. read more

My go to coffee shop in the neighborhood. Everyone is always so nice when I stop by. Especially the owner! I really enjoy the matchas and their pastries. Also, the morir sonándos are made with fresh orange juice and are the perfect treat. I love it here and recommend it! read more
