Common Ground
EMC Skywalk, Des Moines, IA
Crema's Take
“Tucked into a downtown skywalk location, Common Ground crafts thoughtfully balanced espresso drinks with creative flair, from floral lattes to matcha creations that showcase real attention to ingredient quality and precise proportions. The baristas here—like Julie—bring genuine warmth to every order, making even a quick coffee run feel personal and worth the trip.”

The place also isn't open long enough honestly all the coffee in the skywalk is loaded with bleach I know firsthand all the downtown area is the same all of it tastes like that.
They had great coffee and quick service.
Located within the commercial building up the escalator. Perfect ratios for the drinks, recommend to all
I stopped by this cute little coffee shop on my way home from shopping downtown and Julie was so friendly and my coffee was awesome. You need to stop by and try their coffee!
I've come here twice. The first time, I had a rose flavored latte, and now I got a matcha latte. Both times, I've received top-quality ingredients, and the barista is really good with portions. Highly recommend the coffee. Lovely outmosphere and super fast service. I did have a few sips before taking pictures.
