[[HIGHLIGHT]]This is a cute place with friendly employees and good drinks.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I got a dirty chai & my husband got a matcha with strawberry, both were good! [[HIGHLIGHT]]We sat outside in the little seating area they share with a nearby business.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Thankful for a good experience on a weekend morning & would recommend it to anyone looking for coffee in Ladysmith. read more

The owner was so nice and the coffee was delicious, but sadly the food was a little disappointing. The GF vegan coffee cake tasted burnt and gritty and the egg wrap was very plain. [[HIGHLIGHT]]If the food was better this would've been a 5/5 because the service, ambiance, and coffee were great.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]One of the friendliest most down home places you can ever visit.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The food is excellent. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambience is really good to sit and hang out with friends or even meet new ones.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They have excellent coffee, the SERVICES top notch and I had a breakfast croissant that was really good. read more

In the middle of a four hour road trip, and in the mood for coffee, we saw the advertisement for Common Grounds Coffee from the highway and decided to make a stop. [[HIGHLIGHT]]What we stumbled on is a comfortable, quaint coffee shop with a really large menu and an unmatched vibe.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The location is handled with care, the decor makes you feel at home, and everything was clean, as were the restrooms.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The person taking our order was very polite and patient with us as we mulled over the menu before deciding to go with what we know - two iced dirty chais & a frozen lemonade for our daughter. Everything was delicious & I made a comment that if this location were near our home, it'd easily be my go to place for coffee. read more

Stopped by last week. I got a cappuccino, which honestly was just OK. Espresso was a little burnt. The selection of pastries and food items looks amazing. I'll stop in again when I can try one of those. Hoping for a better coffee next time. read more

Quite possibly is my favorite coffee shop ever. I live closer up north, so coming here was a bit of a drive...but might I say it's completely worth it--and a trip to my favorite gas station wawa. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The space feels so inviting and the lovely baristas were especially sweet thank you[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] . They have a good variety of syrup flavors and good food options with a bakery case--perhaps I wasn't loooking too hard but I didn't see any savry. This month it seems there focus is matcha, so customized matcha--to make your match--ahh...ok I'm sorry...I'll chai not to make it happen again....ok I'll stop. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Anyways fun space too come visit[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

My granddaughter and I were out for a girls day and stopped in this place. Common Grounds Coffee is a cozy counter-service café with plenty of seating and a charming collection of board games, making it an inviting spot for meeting up with friends or enjoying a casual afternoon. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The atmosphere is somewhat relaxing, though it can be overshadowed by the surprising price tag.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] During my visit, I ordered a small cappuccino, a small lemonade, a cake pop, and an oatmeal cookie, and the total came out to nearly $18. While the quality of the items was decent, the prices were far from what I'd expected for a local coffee shop. At nearly Starbucks-level pricing, I found myself questioning the value for money, especially considering the smaller portion sizes. Given the absence of other café options in the area besides McDonald's, Common Grounds Coffee might be your only alternative--or you could save a bit and make your own treats at home. If you're willing to pay a premium for the atmosphere, it could be worth a visit. Otherwise, you might find the cost a bit hard to justify. read more

Coffee, coffee, coffee... yes the Gilmore references are plentiful in this incredibly cool relaxing coffee haven! Being a sinensophile, I chose an Earl Grey, but here... coffee rules!! I love the ambiance of this cozy spot... warm fall colors of rust, browns and greens dominate the décor with touches of leather, wood and brick to add to the welcoming vibe. I desperately want to try the Lorelai & Rory pumpkin spice and vanilla coffee, which I may have to grab on my way out! For breakfast I chose the egg, bacon and cheese croissant which came out warm and fluffy! The front counter gals were super sweet and helpful! I spent quite a bit of time chilling on the couch, reading, writing, and savoring every inch of this inviting coffee shop! Love it! read more

A nice coffee shop my family and I discovered while taking a road trip down to Williamsburg. It's fairly close to the 95, so it's a nice pit stop for those wanting a place to hang around for a short bit. There is plenty of parking and outdoor spacing to sit or let kids run around for a little bit. There is an extensive menu for both coffee and food. The coffee and food were both decent. We shared a chicken panini and a breakfast sandwich. Prices were comparable to northern VA. Seating is quite extensive and there are games for people to play with. It was a nice play to drop by and would be happy to visit again if we had the chance. read more

How fast one can fall. Came in for a repeat performance of my last trip here- and wow. The drip tasted old and not quite hot and our pastries were a bit dry. For the price - pretty underwhelming. No smiles or personality from the employee. This is exactly why people make the place. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I would much prefer what the owner called a diamond in the rough from the last visit ( is that a compliment ?) than the stale lifeless atmosphere, service and offerings of today.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I was going to return later for after hours and she got rid of that. That's a shame. read more

Found this place driving back from Virginia. Cute place. Local artist have art for sell on the walls. Coffee was good and gluten free scones. Great customer service as well. The only thing is the prices were on the higher side. The frappe was good a little sweet The gluten free chocolate muffin was good. The pumpkin muffin was very strong tasting. Sausage croissant was very good. read more

Seating is comfy imagine sitting and reading whilst enjoying your coffee. This was a stop on the way back home from a triathlon we desperately needed coffee after we ate. The service was friendly and so welcoming! There's more than coffee in here local artist books, pastries and more! I loved this place! If I could give more than five stars I would! If you are near the area and want some good coffee and a place to sit relaxing this is the place! read more

Service was quick, the place was empty. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant was very quiet and clean.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We started with a blue berry muffin which was dry and not very sweet for a muffin. We won't be returning read more

Great coffee with a million options. But let's be real, a good cup of coffee can be basic and delicious, and theirs was. Also, the gluten free raspberry white chocolate bar was perfection. Gluten free pastries can be grainy and heavy but this was light and fluffy, sweet without being too much. Absolutely delightful. Service and staff were friendly, helpful in making selections for a first timer, and very quick. read more

Nearly fell asleep on the highway, so I stopped for some sugar and coffee. Super cute place! Had to keep myself from ordering one of everything in the pastry window. Emily was super nice and fun to chat with. And the coffee was exactly what I needed. Will definitely have to make a stop on our frequent trips up the coast. read more

I love Common Grounds. Been coming here since it opened. The staff is very friendly and the drinks are delish. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Lots of chill seating available[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] and yummy lattes. Also enjoy their rewards program. read more

LOVE at first sight. Correction: LOVE as soon as I heard the name "Common Grounds" when my friend suggested a few of us get together here for our mom-chat-&-coffee time, today. Such a clever and on point name. I'm a fan. The aesthetic of this place is so charming and welcoming; beautiful art on the walls for sale, spacious high ceilings, lots of options for seating be it cafe chairs and tables or cozy love seats, or normal metal chairs in the courtyard. As a vegan, it was no stress for me to get a tall chocolate mocha with coconut milk that was quite good. My friends got sandwiches and iced coffees which all looked lovely and they told me were delicious. The decor is delightful, staff is friendly and engaging, the bathrooms are gender neutral and sparkly clean. My friends and I lingered many hours past the time we made our purchases and continued to feel welcome and at home in this comfortable, homey coffee shop. A few families came and left in the time we were there and seemed to have an equally nice time. I am absolutely sure this will become a regular meet up place for our mom chat & coffees. YES: Vegan friendly YES: Family friendly read more

Love this little gem we found! This place is super cute, both inside and the courtyard outside. There is an extensive menu of drinks, both hot and cold. We have visited 3x for their breakfast sandwiches. The people are super nice and very accommodating. Also, I love a good rewards program and they have one! Needless to say, I've been 3x and will continue to visit. Can't wait to bring a book and hang out this winter in the coffee shop. read more

Common Grounds Coffee - Must TRY this place - Bakeries Near Me - Ruther Glen, Virginia

Stopped by this quaint and inviting coffee shop on the way from MD to SC. Never knew it existed until I saw it from the highway on one of the road signs! Since I'm a sucker for local-type coffee shops (rather than larger chains), I HAD to stop. It's not at all far off the highway, so an easy and quick stop. The customer service was wonderful: the young lady behind the counter was kindly helpful and lovely! I ordered a cappuccino for myself and a seasonal cinnamon apple cider cream coffee (I can't remember the exact name) for my daughter. Both of these drinks were delightful! The atmosphere was comfortable and quiet, with some low volume jazz playing in the background. I loved it- perfect place for me! I will definitely be back whenever I travel down that way! read more

Customer service was 10/10, Loved the atmosphere and friendly environment, always a good time!

Good food and friendly people. Only one drawback was someone brought their dog inside. While I love dogs, there is a time and place for them. I saw a large one jump up on one poor gentleman. Too small of a place for that. There is plenty of outdoor seating for customers and their pets. read more

Stopped here instead of opting for the typical rest stop coffee and food. We got two cold brews and a chicken parm sandwich. Ladies working were so kind and welcoming. Would much rather support a small business! They have a lovely patio too. read more
