Common Ground Projects
3670 Groveland Rd, Ocean Springs, MS
Crema's Take
“This Ocean Springs gem stands out for its genuinely creative specialty drinks like the ube latte, matcha brûlée, and tres leche cold brew that you simply won't find elsewhere on the Coast. The space itself feels like a carefully curated sanctuary—beautiful enough to remind newcomers of beloved urban coffee shops, yet welcoming enough to become your go-to spot for lingering conversations or quiet afternoons. It's the kind of place where thoughtful drink innovation meets an atmosphere that actually makes you want to slow down.”
What to expect
Strong matcha and tea selection, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Pastries on the menu.

I am from the Pacific Northwest, so I’ve been to my fair share of coffee shops —I LOVE this one! The Baklava (iced) latte & the Ube latte are particularly delicious for drinks, and the breakfast burritos were so good! The pastries are handmade, not pre-packaged & you can…
