What a great little coffee shop. I loved the atmosphere and the house coffee was delicious... so good I left with a bag to grind fresh at home. read more

Maybe their breakfast foods are better but got a chicken sandwich here as well as the spicy chicken sandwich, a caramel latte and a regular latte. My regular latte was watery. The chicken was rubbery and bland. My boyfriend took a bite of the spicy chicken and said, "Wow, I didn't know food could taste this bad." The caramel latte was ok. Like I said perhaps other items are better and perhaps things that are unevenly executed should be removed. There is another building marked something like "the Destination Place" and the sign says there is indoor dining, however it was locked. There are a couple of picnic tables outside. read more

We were in Anza scoping out the little weekend swapmeet locals have. While we were there, got hungry & the taco guy wasn't there :( If you've ever been to Anza, you'll know there's limited choices in restaurants & Dairy Queen being the only chain out there & a couple of Mexican food, a Pizza joint(s) & the casino restaurant/gas station fried chicken. That said, there was one more food establishment before heading towards the mountain highway. A little trailer outside what appears to be a little sit down place to eat, but wasn't open & sign directed you to the drive thru service at trailer. We thought what the hell, let's do it, not only a variety of choices & drinks (coffee/juices etc) but in foods. Even healthy choices, vegetarian, salad, soups, and breakfast plates & pastries. Honestly, it might be little higher than a typical burger stand, but you get a lot of portions and it looks like someone's mom or pop was cooking. (Keep in mind the distance to buying the food supplies adds up) If you're into a no frills place that serves typical greasy spoon diner food, this'll do. If you're into trending food seen on Tik Tok, this is not for you. (Although some of it could be). I loved the potato salad & club sandwich-thick pieces of bacon, turkey & ham not processed actual meat & generous portions. My hubby loved his burger & fried potatoes. I read some of the reviews stating it wasn't to their liking, but honestly give them a chance, they have great potential, and hard working trying their best to get the food out to you. The young man that was taking orders & serving was doing it all by himself, and the cook-literally two man (or & a woman) operation while 3-4 cars were waiting patiently for the food.' Can't wait to go back again and try their coffees and breakfast. We chose to park in back of it and eat, giving us nice views. The atmosphere was wide open rustic desert views and sounds of wind and nature off the beaten path. Beats the monotony of city life. *I gave them 5 stars because of the hard work & effort put into service. But I do have to mention only that the bread was a tiny bit stale-not a dealbreaker & I have a lot of faith in them:) read more

Best vege breakfast burritos ever! Love everything on their menu. Always service with a smile. Excellent frosty drinks too! My favorite place to eat out in Anza. I usually use the drive through but when I have the time, I love to sit out on the patio with a beautiful view of the surrounding Anza valley. Eating inside dining room seating is always a nice option too! So much to choose from! :-) Thank you Common Grounds for your years of service to our community and for the great food! read more

Ate here after finishing my shift before returning back home and it was amazing! It's more like a food truck/ mini shack and has a amazing outdoor seating area right next to the highway, very beautiful views read more

One of the best bacon breakfast burritos I've ever had the pleasure to try. Food is fresh and healthy. Does not taste processed. Recently started going there from my drives from San Diego and every single meal I've had has been amazing. Good portions at great prices. Worth the stop. Service is always great. And honestly it's a million times better than expected. Don't be scared to try it out, ITLL BE WORTH IT read more

Fantastic food truck in an unexpected location. Really great breakfast items, coffee and smoothies. Also the grilled sandwiches are excellent! And don't forget the super crispy tater tots. I'm less of a fan of the burgers, so I stick with the sandwiches. And great customer service! I also love supporting local business owners that show up and crank it out every day! I appreciate having one more choice for food up in Anza, where there aren't that many. read more

The cookies n cream frappe was delicious, highly recommend. The steak sandwich was also pretty good

Arrived on a freezing cold dual-sport ride and was never so happy to see coffee. Ordered a cortado--pretty tasty--warmed up a little and continued on. Menu looked good, but I eyed a Mexican place on the way in. Next time I'll stay and get the pastrami burger. read more

I am a coffee/ coffee house snob from Seattle. I love this place. If you find yourself driving through Anza it is a must stop. Coffee, cinnamon rolls (very yummy) and the sandwiches are to die for. Everything is amazing. If you get more that coffee, I would suggest pulling in and taking a seat. read more

Love this place. So far my husband and I have tried the meatball sub, the tuna melt, the steak sandwich, the buffalo chicken sandwich, and the mac and cheese sticks plus coffee. So good! Their menu is always changing, and I've learned that they have a lot of stuff not on the menu (check their Facebook!) I always look forward to coming here and I like that they don't mind altering menu items, I can be picky at times. Just want Anza needed, a great food place, with fair prices and great service. read more

I love this place so much I want to steal the business model! Just swinging through in my small motorhome and wanted a quick bite to eat without going in somewhere. This breakfast pie with flaky crust is so amazing and the coffee is awesome! I can't wait to try the buffalo chicken sandwich I ordered for lunch later! Stacy was such an amazing person in spending time with me and I appreciate her she's so rocks!!! I wouldn't pass this place up again ever I wouldn't suggest you do either hahaha read more

Great lattes. Takes a minute, but it's so worth the wait. If you're in a hurry, call in your order ahead of your arrival.

Best place in all of Southern California to get an avocado burger with potato tots! Above all they make really great drinks, especially love coconut frap! Sometimes though the fried food is very greasy and gives me a stomach ache but most of the time it's been wonderful. read more
