Crema's Take

“Common Grounds nails creative signature drinks—their pumpkin chai latte with actual pumpkin foam and their legendary rice pudding deserve solo trips—but the drive-thru line moves so fast you'll barely finish ordering before they're asking you to pull up. The vibe is energetic and social rather than quiet, with staff wiping down tables constantly, so come here when you want killer specialty drinks and good company, not focus time.”

What to expect

Specialty coffee, with creative signature drinks. Good for meetings spot. Full breakfast and pastries on the menu. Parking available.
