Common Grounds Coffee House
4772 Hartland Pkwy, Lexington, KY
Crema's Take
“Common Grounds is a welcoming espresso-focused spot where the baristas consistently earn praise for their genuine kindness and excellent coffee craft, though quality can occasionally be inconsistent. The vibe leans toward the leisurely—this is a place to linger with a well-pulled shot or smooth cold brew and maybe a light bite, rather than grab and go. While some visitors have experienced temperature mishaps with their drinks, the overall warmth of the space and the baristas' willingness to make things right keeps people coming back.”

The worker was very nice! I ordered an iced chai and a breakfast sandwich on an everything bagel. They gave me the sandwich on the ciabatta roll which I didn’t notice until I was home. For the chai, I saw there was a bunch of stuff at the bottom. Not sure how they make their chai but I guess it’s from that. When I drink, there are little bits in it, almost like coffee grounds, not a pleasant experience. I would go back but I would get something else and would check the stuff before I left. Not the worst experience, just expected more.
Love this place! The baristas are nice and the coffee excellent.
Adequate coffee and food but was told "typically if people order 2 drinks and food they tip", typically I tip baristas however these baristas did nothing over provide me the service I paid for and talk down on me. Typically baristas get tips if they make small talk, are pleasant or deliver services in a timely manner. Definitely a rude jab to take at a customer.
Very sweet people, the coffee was really good and decently priced will be coming back☺️
The guy working here was so kind and amazing. We got two fall drinks and unfortunately they were undrinkable. We ended up throwing them out. The iced lattes were lukewarm which was off putting. And the espresso was sour. Super bummed to waste 14 bucks.
