I got the honeycomb iced coffee, and it was so good. Also got a cinnamon roll. It was amazing. This will be my go to coffee shop. The atmosphere was so cozy, and the staff are super friendly.

We’re in town for a volleyball tournament and an Indianola resident recommended Uncommon Ground and I’m so happy they did! We ordered the London Fog (soooo delicious) and Spiced Apple Chai - again, amazing. The place is warm, cozy, well-staffed, and was busy with locals. Would 100% recommend!

First time my wife and I took a morning coffee date. (We're not even coffee drinkers) We looked up coffee shops in indianola and found this place. It was a nice change of pace and scenery from our usual adventures. This place is a vibe all on its own. We will definitely be repeat customers.

I stopped in today for my first time wanting a Americano coffee. I was expecting a strong, bold drink like an Americano should be. Especially when it costs $4.85 for a 16 Oz. cup. I am extremely disappointed! The coffee at Casey's is better and for much less. And stronger. I will not be going back. The service was good, otherwise I would only have given 1 star.

I don't usually take the time to review any bad experiences based on one time experience but...... I was treated so disrespectful and yelled at by the owner and her mother! I went in to try this place for the first time. I ordered a simple chicken salad in a croissant. There was one order ahead of mine. The owner was standing with what seemed to be a new employee. They were playing with a young child who was hiding in a cabinet at the front counter. The mother was making two sandwiches for the customers in front of me. I understand totally serving customers as they order. This was not the problem as the owner and mother seemed to only address once I asked if I could get my sandwich to go. The mother was extremely slow and had not even completed ONE sandwich after waiting for sometime. As a
