    This coffee shop and café is a favorite meeting spot. They have excellent staff, a large, comfortable seating area, and they offer discounts to local college students. One more thing. Starbucks. Coffee. Common Ground Cafe is the only place in the entire county that serves Starbucks coffee and espresso drinks. If you are in Orangeburg, be sure to check them out.

    This is a great way to start your day off with your favorite food. Quite areas to relax and then do work or just let the day wind down.

    The food is fresh & delicious! Service is friendly, welcoming and relaxing. Choices are plentiful…read moreand desserts are so yummy!!

    I watched reviews of this restaurant on Facebook for quite a while. I was disappointed that they…read morewere going on vacation and waited until they returned to make my first visit. According to Facebook and also on their website, they offered a variety of foods on different days and I chose Sunday. I was attracted by the carving station in particular and many other items that were listed. Morning of the day that I was to visit, there was again a Facebook ad listing the foods that would be available that day. When I arrived at the restaurant, they were very busy. There was a waiting period of about 30 minutes. I had to sit outside where it was extremely extremely hot and I was getting bit by bugs. Once inside, I was disappointed to see that there was no carving station and items listed in their advertisement on Facebook that morning and other days for Sunday, which included prime rib, ribs, ham, etc. we're not available In all approximately 90% of what had been listed that morning on Facebook as well as in previous ads for Sunday, were not available. The manager (who is also the cook) informed me that the carving station with prime rib etc., was available on Friday. He could not explain why it was listed in their ad for Sunday. Ultimately, I ended up getting a refund and leaving --- do not ever plan on returning

    I was in the mood for something with gravy for breakfast, so searched yelp for "biscuits and gravy"…read moreand this place came up. Sadly, they didn't have biscuits and gravy but they did have these delicious looking smothered pork chops with gravy and onions. And it was yummy! The cheese grits were also outstanding, creamy and super flavorful. The stewed tomatoes were memorable. They were slight sweet with a seasoning I couldn't identify but they were delicious and I kept going back for more. It was definitely more than I could eat in one sitting for about $12 Now, I'm also going to say that they also had shrimp and grits, and they let me try a little of the sauce. Girrrrrl! This is truly an OMG sauce! Next time in town I'm definitely ordering that! The place is smsll, clean and the staff are super friendly. The AC isn't the chilliest, but they do a nice industrial fan flowing to keep it nice and breezy.
