Common Grounds Coffeehouse & Cafe
335 Huey P Long Ave, Gretna, LA
Crema's Take
“This beloved Gretna institution strikes a warm balance between casual neighborhood coffeehouse and full-service breakfast spot, earning loyal regulars who keep coming back for signature dishes like the mushroom St. Trey that have remained unchanged for over a decade. With its family-owned charm, Sunday hours when competitors are closed, and welcoming atmosphere that works equally well for solo laptop sessions or group gatherings, it's become the kind of reliable gathering spot where you're just as likely to bump into locals celebrating a courthouse victory as you are to find a quiet corner for work.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Family friendly.

I haven't been here in 10 years or so. I went for the mushrooms St Trey. These are so delicious, and those remain the same. That was a positive. Although overall the service seemed good in the restaurant, we had the bum luck to have a server who really didn't seem to care too…
LOVE this place! The food was fantastic! The service was outstanding! Great place for a family, friends and work. I brought my daughter after leaving the courthouse. Great for all ages!! We got the Westbank omelette and Common breakfast.
