Our story · est. 2019
We’re just folks who like
good coffee
Common Ground started with one secondhand espresso machine, a corner lease, and a stubborn belief that a coffee shop should feel like a friend’s kitchen. Seven years later we’re still roasting in the back, still learning everyone’s order, and still a little too proud of our puns.
Common Ground
means…
No Snobbery
Order it iced, order it sweet, order it however makes you happy. We’ll never raise an eyebrow at your oat-milk-extra-vanilla order. Good coffee is whatever gets you through the morning.
Locally Rooted
All of our ingredients are sourced locally, our art’s by neighbors, and a slice of every cup goes back into the block. We grew up here — we’re not going anywhere.
Everybody’s Welcome
Laptop warriors, first dates, toddler chaos, and people who just need a quiet minute — there’s a chair for all of you. Stay five minutes or five hours. The wifi’s free and so are the refills of welcome.
