About Us

About Common Grounds

When you walk through our doors, your presence is valued, your space is cared for, and your needs for specialty coffee are met with a mug and a barista who wants to know your name.

Since we opened in 2014, our vision has remained a simple one: To be a place where specialty coffee and genuine community meet.

It’s our hope to be a platform for the passions and expressions of our community (you!) - to create something meaningful and inspire deeper connections with our neighbors with every cup of coffee.

If you need coffee that’s been thoughtfully prepared, there’s a place for you here. If you just want to hang out and enjoy the friendly vibes, there’s a place for you, too.

When we opened Common Grounds in 2014

I dreamed it would be a place people could feel safe to be themselves and making specialty coffee accessible to everyone. The Common Grounds community has continued to evolve and is now more than just a space for gathering—it’s a space where everyone creates together. We value our shared experiences, then take the next step and make something meaningful from it. It’s our way of actively fighting against the things that divide us. And we’d love for you to join us.
