Common Grounds Coffee House
3100 Old Todds Rd Suite 100, Lexington, KY
Crema's Take
“This Lexington spot excels at honest, well-made espresso drinks and seriously satisfying breakfast food, especially their standout breakfast burritos that keep customers driving 20 minutes out of their way. The manual espresso machines mean you'll wait a bit longer for your drink, but the trade-off is quality and care in every cup—their lattes and specialty beverages like the Honeybee consistently impress. While it's more of a casual grab-and-go or quick meeting spot than a lingering work destination, the friendly service and cute aesthetic make it a reliable neighborhood favorite for people who prioritize great food and solid coffee over Instagram-perfect vibes.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu.

Every latte and smoothie I have had has been delicious! Great breakfast sandwiches and such cute decor!
No vibe to this place. My Rattlesnake didn't taste anything like it said it should. My son's Honeybee was good. We waited about 15-20 minutes for our coffee as the poor girl was working the drive through and front end
I love this coffee shop! I live about 20 minutes away near many other coffee shops but I’ll drive out of my way to come here! They have by far the best breakfast burrito of any other place I’ve tried in Lex! It’s so delicious! I’ve only gotten iced coffee so far so I can’t…
