Common Ground Coffee
2313 Tacoma Ave S, Tacoma, WA
Crema's Take
“Common Ground is a welcoming Tacoma gem where espresso craftsmanship meets genuine hospitality, with staff like Marcus and Tasie who remember you're human first and customer second. Their signature drinks shine—think a stellar Strawberry Matcha and cappuccinos that taste like they actually care—while creative options like honey espresso drinks and thoughtful accommodations (like extra sauce removed for dietary needs) show they're listening. The bright, studious-yet-social atmosphere makes it the kind of place locals keep returning to, whether you're fueling up with their excellent pastries and breakfast or settling in with your laptop for the long haul.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu.
