I come through Middleburg occasionally when I visit family in Aldie. It's a must that I come for coffee and a scone or coffee and a breakfast sandwich. I don't know why I've never reviewed them before! I always receive great service - friendly, efficient, and the coffee is always perfect, and the food is always delicious. Had an Everything Bagel with ham, egg, and cheese on day 1 of this visit and a scone on day 3. Macchiato one day and a latte the next. The ambiance is so comfy and cozy and full of locals that are friendly and helpful. Don't skip it if you make a visit here! read more

My bagel was stale and hard as a rock. There was a very long wait - at least 30 mins. The staff is nice, at least.

The atmosphere was nice and cozy. The person making our drinks was great...the young folks running the register...not so much. The women seemed distracted and when we walked in were sitting on the floor and while they hopped up to help us, walked away unaware we'd be paying with cash and not card. The lattes were good though! read more

Nice little coffee shop open relatively early in an area with not much else open on a Sunday morning! The egg sandwich was great, simple but fresh and the ciabatta was soft and fluffy. Coffee was good, homemade granola on the yogurt. Very nice and spacious patio. Loved it! read more

Somehow our order got lost and we received attitude over asking about it. If you order a cappuccino you will get a latte. If you order a flat white you will get a latte. Expect a latte. Its dark. It feels dirty. This town needs a good coffee place. read more

I go here every Friday when I work in Middleburg. It's the cutest little spot and their coffee choices are so good. Their seasonal selection is so fun. The outdoor patio is amazing during the warmer months. It's like walking into a warm hug. read more

What a great find! The space itself is so cozy and intimate but not cramped. On a nice day the outside seating would be perfect. Three of us had three different iced lattes and they were amazing. Light ice so there was plenty of coffee. I got the salted caramel and the other two were maple spice and snickerdoodle. None of them were too sweet and you could still taste the coffee. I wish we lived closer because I would be a regular customer for sure! read more

I had such a disappointing experience at Common Grounds in Middleburg. I placed an order for three sandwiches and waited 30 minutes, only to receive the wrong order. When I went back to fix it, they handed me the wrong order again. By the time they said they were "working on it," I tried to start eating my own sandwich--only to find the chicken salad was not fresh, the bread was stale, and the greens advertised on the menu were completely missing. I mentioned this, but instead of showing any concern, the woman behind the counter became defensive and actually raised her voice, saying they were backed up. At that point, I had been waiting half an hour with a small, fussy child, received the wrong order twice, and was now holding a sandwich I couldn't even eat. When I said I'd rather forgo the order and find food elsewhere, she snapped, "Do you want a refund?" with zero empathy or apology. I left feeling completely dismissed and unwelcome. Between the long wait, repeated mistakes, poor food quality, and incredibly rude service, I have no confidence in ever ordering here again. Truly a letdown. read more

Cute coffee shop in a quant town an hours outside of DC. It was quite busy due to the Virginia marathon happening in town, the reason I was here, I was a spectator not the runner. It was pretty much the only place open early on a Sunday morning. Debated between a breakfast sandwich or pastry and I chose a lemon ricotta muffin. It was moist and not too sweet. They have a good selection of pastries and coffee drinks, even Girl Scout cookie themed lattes. read more

Love this place especially the artwork from local artists. The food is good and so are the drinks. My only complaint is I smell like a coffee shop when I leave read more

No frills, small town eats with really great service. For a weekday breakfast, we ordered: Bacon, egg & cheese on a warm ciabatta Hash browns - generously seasoned with salt and pepper Croissant - a little on the doughy side, but enjoyed that it was toasted. Portions were generous for the price point and service was fairly quick. If you're expecting foodie-level, you might not need to lower your expectation bar, but the vibes are all here. read more

Great little coffee shop with delicious breakfast sandwiches, fresh baked goods and long list of coffee selections. The service was quick and the guys in charge treat visitors like locals! Very old school setting for such a small space. Classic coffee house ambiance. read more

Staff were super friendly and the breakfast sandwiches were so good. Really cozy atmosphere and I will definitely be returning

Good local place to go to grab a coffee and breakfast item. They have a few good leather chairs to sit at if you don't want to sit at a table and the patio area is dog friendly. Wifi is good if you need to get some work done as well. Definitely worth going to. read more

SLOW and very unorganized service. People got their drinks randomly. Some waiting a long time while others getting quickly...all for lattes. Still waiting after 15 mins, asking twice and seen two people who ordered after me get their drinks. No napkins just overall very bad service. Coffee just OK. read more

We wanted to get some coffee in the morning and this looked like the best spot for it in the small town of Middleburg. This place is located in downtown and parking is on the street. Upon entering you notice that it's a nice spot for the locals to come and hang out in the morning. It would be a nice spot to study or read a book with chatter in the background. We ordered a latte, avocado toast, and two build your own breakfast sandwiches. I got egg, cheddar cheese, sausage, and arugula. They serve their lunch sandwiches all day as well if you don't want breakfast food. The wife said the coffee was really good and if she was in town, she'd come back. The avocado toast was a bit too sour and salty. The breakfast sandwich was really good. The break was nice and toasted and had great texture. We were in and out fairly quickly. Would come back if we are in the area. read more

Went to this coffee shop for breakfast sandwiches...my girlfriend was working and I offered to run out and get her something to eat...I ordered 3 sandwiches..two bacon egg and cheese and one ham egg and cheese...a big, unpleasant kind of rude guy took my order and rang it up...$23.00.... When the sandwiches were done I picked up the bag and left..I was looking forward to a nice sandwich. Got back to the house and opened the sandwich and took a bite... Didn't taste any bacon do I opened it up and looked inside.. honestly, the piece of bacon was smaller then a half dollar..I looked at the other one and there was 1 skinny piece of bacon... My girlfriend just wanted to eat here- she was hungry, obviously -not I said no, I'm talking then back. ..I returned and speed the guy what I was served for $23.00.... He said" I get it.. That's the portion the owner tells us to use..in fact, the owner made those sandwiches for you"... Needless to say, I told him if I wanted an egg on a piece of read I would have gone to McDonald's... He asked" what do you want me to do about it? I just work here".. Duh.. What do you think I want you to do..fix it!!. He then told the kids now making sandwiches, " get him some bacon". So I watched and saw him take 2 small pieces of bacon and dust to wrap them in foil... That's when I told the guy" your not expecting me to take 2 pieces of bacon and put them on my now cold sandwiches and think we are good ?" after I already had to drive back to them and now again back home..he then got mad and in a loud pissed off voice, in front of a store full of customers, " what do you want me to do about it?? I said make me 2 new sandwiches the way they should have been made in the FIRST PLACE!" He told his got to do that to" get him the hell out of here!" Needless to say, I won't be returning..... . read more

I want to be honest as well. I come to this place a lot when in and around Middleburg and the coffee is decent. I love the location and the vibe, so I stop frequently. I am a little concerned about the staff and I have noticed this a couple of times recently. They do seem nice to customers when they are ordering, but if you stay a while you do hear them complaining about customers and overly using profanity as they chatter behind the counter. It just dumbs the place down and wrecks the atmosphere. It would be different if this was a bar, but it's Middleburg's main coffee place. The owners need to watch this because it is such a nice place and location and they should know. read more

Common Grounds is a busy coffee shop, in the small town of Middleburg, VA. They had some really fun holiday decor outside. They had indoor and outdoor seating available, the inside seemed very dark, so we sat outside, it was a really nice 60 degree day in the beginning of January. We got their seasonal lattes, one was the Cabin Log and the other was Toffee. These were both so delicious, frothy and full of flavor. Toffee was a tad bit too sweet, but still tasty. We also got a serving of their avocado toast. This came on two thin slices of toasted whole wheat bread, with a thin and even spreading of avocado, it was seasoned with salt, sesame seeds, and lemon zest. The lemon zest on the avocado toast was really tasty and prominent. I didn't like how dark it was inside, and nothing had any prices listed. The lattes were delicious and the avocado toast was nice and zesty. I'd stop by here again if in the area. read more

This is the third (and last) time I'll go here. It always takes way too long for a sandwich, but this time it took 45 minutes for 3 sandwiches PLUS the extra bonus of Kayla, the "One in charge here", telling me "You'll get them when you get them" and being confrontational when I asked about our order. They're rude and slow...a great combo for a cafe in Middleburg. Kayla needs to be fired. UPDATE: This is the email response I received from Kayla, the manager (and, no, I didn't yell at any of her employees. I asked about the status of my sandwiches after 45 minutes)... "How about the next time you want to write a review you begin with how rude you were first over sandwiches!! You wait in a line for 10/15 minutes to order, how many other people before you do you think also ordered sandwiches?? You're not the only one, if you want fast food go to McDonald's! You're not going to yell at my employees and not expect a response! You interrupted me helping a customer because you thought you were entitled. You threatened me first but I don't see that in your review! But thanks for the review anyways, it gave my regulars and I something to laugh at. Sincerely, Kayla who will never get fired :)" read more

Nice ambiance, but unfriendly staff. We spent $17 for 2 small coffee and 1 sandwich - way over priced. Also, the menu has no prices on it and the menu online is outdated. A real shame because we really wanted to like this place. Will not be returning. read more

Very slow service. Took 25 minutes to get my order. They also ran out of espresso at 8:30am! So slow food and no coffee. Don't waste a trip here read more

Tasty wrap (gluten free) and iced latte in a lovely setting. Plenty of menu options for dietary restrictions. read more

Dropped in at 12pm for lunch at this conveniently located place with plenty of outdoor front street seating with umbrellas. Many menu items not available already and the place wad pretty empty. No substitute offers or sincere apology or care for that matter: part of indifferent service attitude you get. Compounded by an inefficient order and pay process. Things got better once the food arrived: fast, hot, and tasty delivered to us outside. We've eaten here long ago several times and had a very good overall experience and so we had high expectations-this visit was somewhat of a disappointment. . read more

I ordered a raspberry latte and for the first couple of sips, I didn't taste any raspberry, but it was sweet (but not too sweet). In actuality, the scent of raspberry is very subtle and is more noticeable in the after taste the place was clean. The interior is so cute as is with most places in Middleburg; they have really cute paintings and it has an old town kind of feel. Also the service workers were nice and I got my drink quickly! I will definitely come back to try a different type of latte in the future! It is admittedly a standard coffee shop, and its main appeal is the interior. read more

This quaint cafe was the only store open aroun 8 when I was headed out to a hiking destination with the family. It was very friendly inside and had locals that knew most of the patrons that walked in and their orders. The art on the wall is for sale and bares the price on the title sign. We ordered two sandwiches and a drink to go. The food came out in the order it was recieved and it tastes fresh! I was really happy they were able to add spinach and tomatoes (fresh- they cut it to order for us) to my breakfast sandwich. It was a wonderful meal for our hike in sky meadows! I would recommend this cafe! read more

Limited menu but the breakfast sandwich was tasty, especially the bread. Pastries looked good but the croissant was just okay. Wish they had a matcha latte on the menu. Staff were pleasant and the place has a locals vibe. Not the most comfortable seating and the bathroom was dirty, so one star off for that. read more

We visited Common Grounds for breakfast and ordered bacon, egg, and cheese wraps. 20 minutes later, out came the tiniest wrap I ever did see. Two bites later, I'm still hungry. read more

Roast beef salad was delicious and hubby's sandwich was great. I love visiting Middleburg. It has always been given me positive vibes. I recommend this restaurant for yummy food and good service. Sitting outside is good if weather allows. Watching life flows. It's just great. read more

Sandwiches were good and the ciabatta really was the star. They could probably season the eggs a bit more.

Very nice order taker. Followed by one of the rudest baristas I've ever witnessed. Yelled at both his co workers and a customer who simply wanted to know when his kid's chocolate milk would be ready. "I've got 27 drinks here dude, it will be ready when it's ready!" Nice. And to boot our two Americanos tasted like camp water. Really really bad experience read more

Great place in the heart of Middleburg inside and outside seating. The breve and latte were wonderful. The smoked salmon bagel was delicious and the ciabatta sandwich with sausage, egg and cheese was yummy! Very dog friendly! We'll be back! read more

Love love love this place. Visited Middleburg VA, breakfast and sandwiches were awesome with fantastic coffee. I cannot say enough about how nice the staff were.

Dog friendly as well. read more

Horrible food and service. This was the most pathetic avocado toast I've ever seen or imagined. I can't believe I paid for it. Avoid food here. Service is below average with attitude. Coffee is fine. Atmosphere is good. Food is HORRIBLE. read more

Coffee was lukewarm. The guy who greeted us, I'm guessing he was the owner, was very rude and condescending. I think he thought we were part of another group, but either way...not doing that again read more

A nice place for coffee that is open on those off hours (ie mid-afternoon). Woody decor, good coffee selection

They are fantastic always friendly. Great place to just relax and enjoy the drinks. Staff is excellent.

Went on a rainy morning. The coffee was great, latte was delish.... The yogurt with cherries and granola off the charts. The employees are friendly, and very efficient. Food and drinks came out in no time. The atmosphere is perfect for small town coffee shop. This is probably one of my favorite coffee shops that I have visited. Highly recommend. We will be back. read more
