“ Love the coffee here! I think Starbucks is decent, but Common Grounds blows them out of the water. They have the standard coffee fair, plus teas and noncoffee drinks. Plus you can get mouthwatering paninis, milkshakes, gelato, muffins, and scones. The prices are great too. The staff remembers your drink and the service is fast. The sitting area is always clean and they have a nice outdoor seating area. Nothing but great things to say, if you are in the area stop by and support this locally owned business! ”
“ Bright, friendly, and attentive staff. The cleanest coffee shop Ive ever patronized. The atmosphere is relaxing yet fun. They have seating options inside or outside, a convenient drive thru, and theyre handicap accessible. Plenty of parking available. Aside from being open bright and early, theyre also open into the early evening hours. The menu is phenomenal. Im talking anything you would expect from a 5 star coffee house then some. And what really sets them apart, for me personally, is that the entire staff is perfectly educated, in the areas that baristas should be. No matter whos working, your beverage will be consistently perfect, every single time. This place quickly became a staple for me, and until such day that they close the doors hopefully never, I will be a devoted customer..... A happy, appreciated, well taken care of, devoted customer. Even if you have to drive an extra 2030 minutes to get there, do yourself a favor and stop by. You can thank me later. ”

“ They are AMAZING! Everyone who works there is so sweet. They have it open inside and kids can work on school there. They also have the best breakfast. Stop by when you get a chance. They are not a chain business and if they are it is a very small chain business so come and support our small business. Have a great day. ”
