Crema's Take
“Common Grounds has serious execution problems across the board—slow service, forgotten orders, and inconsistent coffee quality are recurring complaints across a very thin sample of just 6 reviews, so take that with appropriate skepticism. The one bright spot seems to be their iced green tea with syrup options, though their mandatory $1 reusable cup policy has rubbed some customers the wrong way. Unless you're specifically craving their tea and have patience to spare, there are likely better options in Chico.”
What to expect
Strong matcha and tea selection, good cold brew.

See all on Google →They took so long to warm up one small croissant. The coffee was so strong. Took a long time to make everything. They forgot I ordered too.
their iced green tea is good, lots of syrup flavors, appreciate the attempt at eco-friendliness with reusable cups available for purchase
I was given a reusable plastic cup with my hot drink. What a waste! I have to toss the equivalent of approximately 12 plastic cups so they can feel like they are making a difference. Offer the customer a choice and make a difference, but there is no solution that fits all all…
They charge $1 for their cups you have to buy if you don't bring your own.
This place has better iced coffee than the coffee shop on the other side of Kendall Hall but worse bagels. Plan your morning route accordingly.
