Common Grounds Coffeehouse
13531 Main St, Fort Wayne, IN
Crema's Take
“Common Grounds is a charming Fort Wayne spot with genuine personality, featuring a cozy downstairs and a secret upstairs hideaway perfect for catching up with friends over a quality latte. The attached antique store adds to the nostalgic appeal, and the genuinely friendly staff makes even first-time visitors want to linger with their laptop or light snack. While their specialty drinks like caramel macchiatos can be hit-or-miss, the overall atmosphere and welcoming vibe keep people coming back to this family-friendly neighborhood gem.”

Great environment and antique store right next door to walk around, but the coffee isn't worth the drive from FW compared to Mocha Lounge
The first drink I had from here was delicious. It was the caramel macchiato cold. Went the a couple days ago and got the same drink and order it hot. It wasn't that hot more like lukewarm and it didn't taste like a caramel macchiato.
I stopped in for a coffee break during my work day. It was my first time in and I was pleasantly surprised by the cozy setting and friendly staff. I had planned to get my coffee to go, but decided to grab a bite and slowly warm up with a cup of coffee. I had granola bites and a coffee with a shot of espresso, both delicious. Prices were good. I hope to come back next time I'm in the area. Highly recommend.
This place has the cutest atmosphere! Do I mention that there's an upstairs or do I keep that secret to myself? 😉 I love meeting friends here and going upstairs for a quiet place to catch up. There's a little boutique upstairs and everything is just so cute. Plus, if you really want to go boutique/antique shopping, the shops are all around the coffee house. The employees are so kind. It's a treat to come to Common Grounds!
I cant say enough good things about this coffee shop. The customer service was excellent and the food was delicious. I loved the latte I had. They had 24oz iced drinks and offered alternative milks and had a variety of flavors. I tried the featured flavor of the month: cinnamon smores. The baked goods were very good. I ordered the avocado toast and they came and notified me that the avocado wasn't ripe enough which I appreciated and I was able to sub for a different breakfast. Really friendly staff. I highly recommend a trip out to Grabill to give them a try. You won't be disappointed.
