Customer Reviews
This was our first time having breakfast at Common Grounds, and it truly exceeded our expectations! The food was incredibly fresh and clearly not pre-made. We absolutely loved the California Omelet and the Berry & Ricotta Stuffed French Toast — both were delicious and beautifully prepared. The coffee was smooth and rich, and the whole meal left us feeling completely satisfied. The atmosphere is warm and cozy, and the friendly smile from our server really made a lasting impression (I’m so sorry I didn’t catch her name!). They also have dedicated parking, which is such a thoughtful convenience for customers. Overall, a wonderful experience — we’ll definitely be back!
Came here by total accident. Seriously … I was thinking of a different restaurant when I accidentally clicked on this one. So happy for the mistake because this place is so quaint and yummy!!! From the outside … and honestly on the inside too, it’s very underwhelming. However, once you experience the home town friendliness and delicious, diner-like food, you really forget about the ambiance and instead … enjoy the diner-next-door vibes and hominess. The place is small, but I appreciated the online “waitlist” feature. It goes by a lot quicker than expected. I had to re-put myself on the waitlist cuz we weren’t at the restaurant yet. This place also has a “order at the counter” first and then get seated situation, which helps things move along and turn tables over, but I’d have to say that
Absolutely loved brunch at this place! The omelet was perfect, and the French toast and avocado toast were insanely good. Can’t wait to come back — thank you!
The food here was amazing. We got the southwestern breakfast burrito, corned beef hash, and infamous lemon ricotta pancakes—which are truly unlike any other pancakes I’ve ever had. Pancakes were fluffy, sweet and zesty. They were phenomenal. If you come, you MUST try them. Home fries were nice and crispy too. The place is a bit small inside (looks like a lot more space opens up outside in the summer), so it felt a bit cramped but that was okay because the food was totally worth it. Would absolutely recommend.
Definitely has diner vibes from the inside. We went there for brunch around 1pm and got chef's special omelette. The flavors were decent I'd say. The onions could've been browned more. For the price, I think it's a bit expensive for what you're getting. The coffee mug I got was a bit dirty as well.
