    Always come to Common Ground whenever in town and look forward to it! I was so excited about the "text us your order" feature on the website for order ahead and pick up, however, when I got there neither of the Baristas knew what I was talking about and had to retake our order. No apologies, explanation, or anything. When we ordered our drinks, one was the new seasonal Pumpkin Patch which was supposed to have cold foam on it and the other was an Iced Americano with Cold Foam. But when we asked why there was none on our drinks (like we ordered) they said it's broken and they did not charge us for it. Again no apologies or offer any thing else as a replacement for the "inconvenience ". I normally never have a problem with the staff whenever we come to town to see family, and always stop here for coffee, normally daily. But this is the first time being dissatisfied and disheartened by the customer service the staff provided. Coffee was still good but hope the home town customer service improves a little bit and the "text us your order" option gets ironed out to be a great addition to the shop. (I would only give one star, but because the coffee was good, I gave two.)

    Mary and I stopped in for breakfast, first visit. There is an upscale look and feel in a very old building. Our iced mocha and apple pie latte were excellent. Mary had the breakfast scramble and I had the scramoburitto, delicious. Get in here now!

    Old building that has been preserved to reflect on this midwestern town. The employees are full of positive ones and listen to your order! Coffee is not roasted here but is very flavorful. Large selection of flavors are available. Went with my favorite...lavender and honey. A selections of in house made pastries made us get a blueberry scone. It was soft and packed with fresh berries. Church owned but only subtle messages around the store.

    Fantastic location with plenty of seating and very friendly staff. They answer my questions and made sure we were well taken care of. We both got blended coffees, mine was caramel with almond milk, my friends was a mocha. They have good quality syrups and also have the big boba straws. Next time you're in Fort Scott make sure you stop in.

    I stopped here today on my drive home to Dallas, Texas. This location popped up on Yelp and I had to gice it a try. Plus, with a seven hour drive, I needed the espresso. This coffeehouse is located on main street in Fort Scott. I was able to find a parking spot right across the street. The inside is super spacious and the baristas are very friendly. There are plenty of couches and comfortable seating for customers. There is also a stage that I assume is for live music. I ordered a large pumpkin spice latte and it was under $5. It was delicious and definitely gave me the caffeine I needed. This will be my stopping place each time I road trip home ;)

    A surprising coffee gem in a small town. Free WiFi and great coffee. I didn't have any of the food available - but the menu looked nice :) Pro-Tip: If you could add some vegan food options that would be awesome!

    I freaking adore Common Ground. From the vibe to the coffee! The staff is always so friendly & the cold brew I've had is delicious. I make sure to stop here every time I am headed to Kansas City from Dallas. Drinks/food: I love that they have a "drink suggestions" jar in case you're wanting to try something new or, you're in for the first time and can't decide on something. They brew local coffee from other Kansas City spots too & there are a variety of pastries as well. The atmosphere: very "open mic" / cozy book store type. There is always somewhere to sit, from tables to couches.

    Is "rustic industrial loft" a thing? This quirky and friendly coffee shop is a welcome find in the sleepy brick-cobbled town of Fort Scott Kansas. My cappuccino is smooth, frothy and in a perfect hand warming ceramic vessel, as I'm being swallowed by an oversized leather chair listening to families converse and soft melancholy singer songwriters fill the expansive yet cozy space.

    I love the new location for Common Ground. My husband and I have been enjoying our morning coffee here lately. The interior has a cozy feel with the brick walls and the warm wood throughout. I especially love the rustic light fixtures and tin ceiling. The staff is friendly and always welcoming. There is a prayer board near the back where you are welcome to add your own. The drive-thru is now open which is very convenient. I highly recommend this location!!

    Movie area.

    See all

    Super cup of coffee and plenty of baked goods to go with it. Highly recommend the breakfast cookie!
