Crema's Take
“Common Coffee's house blend, the Common Ground, is so well-executed that even home-brewing coffee obsessives are impressed—it's the kind of coffee that justifies the drive to Elk Grove. The café strikes an unusual balance between serious espresso work and genuine family-friendliness, complete with a playground and creative drinks like their acclaimed Matcha Latte, making it feel less like choosing between good coffee and a kid-friendly space. Everything here hits that sweet spot of high quality without pretension, from the environmental practices to the affordable pricing.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with creative signature drinks, matcha and tea options too, good cold brew. A slow-sit, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Pastries on the menu. Family friendly. Parking available.

Wow, best coffee experience in the Elk Grove area! I heard about Common opening, but was a little doubtful since it's new. I took my family and it did not disappoint. I hear it gets very busy, so glad we were able to come on a Monday afternoon. Canela latte (I ordered it less…
I really want to be selfish and keep this hidden gem to myself but EVERYONE needs to try it especially families with kids. Not only do they have delicious coffee, amazing service but also a playground!! We can enjoy this delicious cup of coffee to ourselves while our kids play!!!
The best new local coffee shop in Elk Grove area!!!! Very high quality taste and everything is so environmental friendly and affordable! Tried their Matcha Latte, Jazz brew and their strawberry cheese croissant, everything is good! We don’t drink coffee but this lychee cold brew…
