Visited on 2 separate days when in Oxford 4 weeks ago. Coffee and pastries were excellent both times. Whatever staffing issues they may have had before seem to have been resolved and service was fine. Great place. 5 out of 5 stars. read more

Not a fan. Service was poor. Felt like I was imposing on the girl taking my order for ordering coffee. Order coffee and avocado toast with an egg. My coffee was made incorrectly and wasn't full and was not good. My avocado toast had balsamic vinegar on it, which I was unaware it was going to be added to the toast. After soaking some of the balsamic vinegar off, avocado was completely unseasoned and the Egg was overcooked. Extremely poor experience read more

I spotted this place from my hotel window and was grateful that I wouldn't have to travel far for a good, strong coffee in the morning. Once I arrived there this morning, I felt like a kid with a new toy (okay, indulge me a little bit, please). I walked in and the vibe from this place was so inviting--the opposite of what coffee is supposed to do to you; calm and soothing. My barrister, I'll say "N" (forgot just that quick), was ready to take my order with a smile. There was such a large selection that I didn't know where to start. So, let me add that "N", this was the very first person who ASKED ME, " tell her what you like". My brain was like, " this does not compute." People don't take the time to ask these types of questions. She tailored my drink to my specifications, and it came out perfectly. For the sake of this review, I'll share what I had. However, let me warn you that my taste buds are not the same as yours. It was two shots of espresso (always) made like a latte but with a small shot of vanilla flavoring. Again, it was just right. Before there is any judgment, I am not one of those nitpicky coffee people. LAUGH... I look forward to hitting up this Coffee Bar again before leaving this area. Additionally, if you're in the area or live nearby, please stop by and enjoy the experience of this coffee house. I forgot to add that they have a drive through as well. read more

Common Ground Coffee Bar - My special latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Oxford, Mississippi

Went a few times this trip to Oxford, and ended up at Common Ground every day for breakfast! Great bagels, even better bagel sandwiches. Love the atmosphere and of course - the coffee drinks!! Currently obsessed with the Samoa, but the problem with this is it's an 8-hour drive to pick one up! Next trip... read more

Big space, but feels more like partially emptied former Buffalo Wild Wings than a coffee spot. We quickly lost hope when, "What are you brewing?" was answered with "medium roast". Hmmm, medium roast Kenya, Costa Rica, South American blend, or even 'sirloin tips' would have been a better answer. My bride asked for an Americano with a few chunks of ice added so it's drinkable same day (can no one understand 202 degree Fahrenheit water from the espresso machine is not the only filtered water a place should possess?!). I requested a cappuccino. As you can guess, the Americano could melt metal and the cappuccino was a fairly blah latte with 1/2 inch of hard foam. The bagels were fine. Overall not a coffee go-to. We should have just settled for the dirty water my friend was getting from Chick-Fil-A; about the same mediocre joy in the cup but with a nicer attitude and without the let down. read more

Waited over an hour after ordering two breakfast sandwiches to keep being told we were next. Finally spoke to someone else who said they didn't make our order cause they were out of ONE ingredient on ONE sandwich. And still planned on charging us the $40 for two sandwiches we never got. Finally made one of them, 30 minutes later we got the next sandwich. If I could I would give them 0 stars. There is nothing redeeming about this place. read more

Waited far too long for nothing. Out of almost all food. And the customer service was awful

This by far is the worst coffee shop in Oxford possibly anywhere. I have them a second chance today the last time it was a Sunday morning and I waited in the drive thru I know 30 minutes for Matcha it was awful. So today I got a lotus tea I normally pay $7 for this very same drink at stone ground in Gluckstadt they charged me $11 then had the audacity to ask me if I wanted to tip not to mention it was awful there were only two cars and still a long wait please go to one of the other places on town Shadrachs 10/10 s7 Bree a close second heck even Dunkin read more

A bit of a wait to get our order placed. The head cashier was making hers friends drinks who were in line behind us, so it took a while for her to take our order. But once we got our coffee it was great. The atmosphere is a wonder place to be for a college student. read more

Recent transplants here and have TOTALLY fallen in love with this place! Having been all over this country and tried many varieties of coffee I can confidently say COMMON GROUND COFFEE BAR is by far THE BEST COFFEE I HAVE EVER HAD!! Now for service.... Wow and WOW! Caroline and Marly really made an impression on my daughter and I. So sweet & friendly !!! I loved how they knew their product and Caroline knew exactly how to make my coffee. We have been back almost every day since. Today I switched up to a frozen mango drink which was so exceptionally good I decided it was time to get this review written. Please please don't ever change what y'all are doing because it works! Thank you!!! read more

Staff is rude and they will not serve some people. If you don't buy certain items they will not serve you.

Outstanding Coffee! Decent amount of sugar free options and the sweets look amazing. Quick and kind servers that greet you with a smile. The seating is accommodating enough to hang out or study. read more

Awful service, waited an two hours for a bunch of bs that wasn't even my correct order. Rude service, food was cold. Never going back there

I get the frozen common ground mocha every time!! It's so good! Definitely recommend. The atmosphere inside is great and the staff is super friendly read more

The barista named Lillian R. is literally amazing- she is so personable and makes my day every time!! She is the reason why I keep coming back to Common Ground!! She also made my coffee really fast and really well!! read more

Great coffee! Love the drive thru for faster service. The breakfast food is healthy and tasty. Ambience is quiet and pleasant.

Common ground is right on my route to go to class every day. I always get a large dirty chai tea latte. It's never obsessively sweet like Starbucks and the coffee itself is amazing. Anna Kate and the other staff that work there are incredibly sweet. read more

Common Ground Coffee Bar - Large dirty chai tea latte. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Oxford, Mississippi

Slow service for mediocre coffee and a cold pastry. Drive through takes just as long as going in and coffee is not worth the wait. I've been a few times and have never been impressed. I'd go anywhere else or make coffee at home and save the time and money. read more

This place is absolutely phenomenal. I have been in once before, and the drink and service was perfect. I was here this morning around 7:45 and witnessed a interaction with a customer who did not like her drink. The barista behind the counter did everything she could to help fix the situation, remade the drink for her, and offered to make her a completely new drink. Y'all are AWESOME! Keep up the fantastic job. Oxford is lucky! read more

Walked out due to slow service. stood in line 10 minutes and no one said anything. Should be trained to say we will be with you in one moment or something. No smiling. Nothing. Not impressed read more

It was great to find this new coffee shop close to my Tru hotel, which is also close to the cinema. Enjoyed interesting scone - kale and cheddar. read more

Where do I start? I ordered a coffee with an extra shot and she failed to included so when I took the coffee back and asked to purchase the extra shot they wanted to charge me more than double the price and told me it was because I didn't add it to the coffee initially. What?! The extra shot went from $.60 to $1.98 for her failing to add it when I asked for in the first place. I've never heard of such a thing though even if it is a shot after the fact. Because I was questioning it she got frustrated walked off and said don't worry about it there's no charge. I also ordered a breakfast sandwich that I had ordered there before and got all the way to my office before realizing the guy put hot sauce on it. Let's not discuss the fact that he was in the back office playing on the phone or doing whatever until someone called him out to make the sandwich. He didn't wash his hands, just walked straight up to the back area, put on gloves and made it. I said nothing, choosing to just get out of there as quickly as possible. Unfortunately, I got to my office and bit into the sandwich only to discover he put hot sauce on it! There was nothing on the menu stating hot sauce was on the sandwich. I'd had the sandwich before and it did not have hot sauce. Nor did he ask me before putting it on whether I even want it hot sauce. I called ahead and let them know I was going to come back to the location and quickly exchange the sandwich for one with no hot sauce. The woman on the phone told me it would take a few minutes and I told her no problem because it would take me about 10 minutes to make it to her. So imagine my shock when I got there and the same guy was standing at the counter chitchatting with them, saw me approaching the counter and slowly strolled over to begin making the sandwich again. What!? My frustration was very apparent and the woman from the phone spoke up and told me they were doing the best they could. I clearly explained to her "the best they could" would be letting folks know when you're putting hot sauce on a breakfast sandwich rather than making that decision for me, "the best they could" would be actually following through to re-make the sandwich like you clearly stated you would before we hung up! If that's their best, my advice is to find better elsewhere. $14 for a breakfast sandwich and coffee is overpriced, but I'd rather pay that than go through the hassle I went through to have them ultimately refund me in the end. read more

I stopped in this morning and the staff was amazing, and the ambience of the Coffee shop was really cool and on top of that my latte was amazing read more

Best coffee in town and the service is amazing! Very sweet people working there, and the coffee tastes great!

Great spot. Good coffee and service. Excellent location and clean facility. Good variety of coffee offering as well as food choices.

Found this new coffee shop near my hotel. Happens to be during the shop's soft opening period. My latte was delicious, and the kale & cheddar scone was phenomenal. I'll definitely make this a stop on my future visits to Oxford. They have lots of nice table and chair seating indoors, but I opted for a comfy adirondack chair in the shade outside. read more
