Common Ground Coffee House

When I lived in New York, I'd go to niche coffee shops like this. Their coffee is excellent. Their baked goods are delicious. They have gluten-free options for treats at times. The owner and staff have always been really kind and helpful.

Barista was super friendly and helpful when helping me pick a drink! The atmosphere was welcoming and relaxed!

Great tasting coffee, friendly owner, and great aesthetic! Ask about the event room, you will thank me later! ;)

I had an Aloha Mocha, and it was delicious! Such kind, small town service and comfortable atmosphere. This place was highly recommended to me by locals, and it fully lived up to expectations. I’ll be back!

Great coffee and snacks in gorgeous surroundings. Excellent location, only steps off Broadway. Ideal stop for a quick cup, but you'll want to linger for some peaceful reflection.

Truly a community meeting place. A place with great coffee, great atmosphere and great spirit. Meet and feel the love.

Great coffee shop to check out. The person behind the counter was friendly. They also serve sandwiches and wraps which were tasty. The atmosphere here is nice as well.

A great space for singles, couples and groups. Very good coffee and several food options. Highly recommended!

Visiting from the cities and ran across this lovely little coffee shop. Happy to see that they roast their coffee fresh in-house. Enjoyed chatting with the knowledgeable​ roaster. Their Honduras coffee was delicious! The staff was pleasant. Very nice experience! Support this gem.

Excellent wrap...tasted great! Delicious dark chocolate mocha, one of the tastiest I've had! Had lunch in the "book room," pleasant atmosphere. Friendly staff to boot!

Coffee was delicious. Didn't used to be. The coffee makes the difference. Plus, great wait staff.

Just a quick bite for lunch. The Cuban sandwich was delicious. I would go back for that alone. Lots of great menu items and specialty drinks. The decor was amusing and inviting and the barista was very friendly.

I love going in for a quick cup of coffee or to grab a bite and stay to work for awhile. The environment is very comfortable and quaint, unlike most corporate coffee shops.

They also have a great space for hosting events. They call it the Upper Room and it can seat about 50 guests easily. The old building has so much character and the owner is great to work with. He'll let you in with your own food and drink, or he's happy to brew you some coffee or even staff someone to make drinks during your event. We just had a baby shower there and it was wonderful :)

This local owned coffee shop in Alexandria is amazing! Saturday 4/17/21 was our first time stopping in on our way to Moorehead to visit family, we will definitely stop in again! The guy behind the counter, whom I'm assuming was the owner, was very kind & helpful. The nitro vanilla was so smooth & tasty, my husband also enjoyed his vanilla iced latte! There was a group of about 9 locals
sitting near by & they were respectful & just enjoying a morning visit together which was nice to see. Thank you to the owner & staff for all the work you do in your local coffee house!

Rented the Upper Room for my daughter's bridal shower. The space is very large, literally the entire upper floor of the repurposed factory/warehouse. The room is decorated in a loose industrial/antique automotive motif with vintage tables and chairs. It has lovely antique wood and natural lighting, and concrete floors throughout.
We brought our own food for the party, and ordered coffee from the cafe. Every single drink was declared delicious. Excellent barista on staff, both in beverage prep and accommodating service. Our party lasted past store-closing; we just had to agree to "lock up" after ourselves.
Several faith groups use the coffee shop for meetings and worship. There is a clear Abrahamic faith-oriented feel to the rooms available for rent, a Bible here or there, Hebrew lettering on a sign, but nothing ostentatious as to make you feel unwelcome.

I'm a big fan of the coffee here. I was driving through for a wedding and stopped here to get some work done and ended up buying some of the beans they roast in house because I enjoyed it so much. Nice atmosphere, plenty of space, and decent wifi. I'll definitely stop in here again next time I'm in Alex.

A bit smaller cups of coffee but lower price also and the coffee is awesome! I had one of their sandwiches and it was very tasty so I would recommend this place to everybody!

Peaceful atmosphere. Eye catching interior design. Unique coffee selection. Made my inner child happy. Just a great place to be. So, my conclusion? Yes. Just... Yes. 👏

Great warm atmosphere when I met a friend visiting overseas , which this place was a half way point to meet. Love my smoothie I had, which I wished I took a pic of. Would love to come back for a concert or event as they have a small stage.

Cute little coffee shop with a small town feel. I love going to local coffee shops when I can, as I usually find them preferable/tastier than the large chains. Common Grounds definitely lived up to that and I would go there again.
