    Coffee bar

    This is such a charming place. We found this coffee shop while in Ft. Scott, and as always I'm looking to check out coffee shops any place I go. Sometimes I find little gems, such as this one. Located in the downtown Ft. Scott area, this coffee shop is in one of the old buildings and inside a very spacious one at that. It is nicely remodeled and cozy, with lots of places to sit. The only thing that wasn't clear was that the hours of operation need to be updated, since Yelp had this place closing at 9, but it actually closes at 7 during the week. My husband had the drip coffee, which was good because it comes from Messenger. I was very pleased with the mocha that barista made. It wasn't overly sweet, and I could taste the espresso. They had a nice peach cobbler that I ate cold, but it was delicious.

    Mary and I stopped in for breakfast, first visit. There is an upscale look and feel in a very old building. Our iced mocha and apple pie latte were excellent. Mary had the breakfast scramble and I had the scramoburitto, delicious. Get in here now!

    Old building that has been preserved to reflect on this midwestern town. The employees are full of positive ones and listen to your order! Coffee is not roasted here but is very flavorful. Large selection of flavors are available. Went with my favorite...lavender and honey. A selections of in house made pastries made us get a blueberry scone. It was soft and packed with fresh berries. Church owned but only subtle messages around the store.

    Fantastic location with plenty of seating and very friendly staff. They answer my questions and made sure we were well taken care of. We both got blended coffees, mine was caramel with almond milk, my friends was a mocha. They have good quality syrups and also have the big boba straws. Next time you're in Fort Scott make sure you stop in.

    I freaking adore Common Ground. From the vibe to the coffee! The staff is always so friendly & the cold brew I've had is delicious. I make sure to stop here every time I am headed to Kansas City from Dallas. Drinks/food: I love that they have a "drink suggestions" jar in case you're wanting to try something new or, you're in for the first time and can't decide on something. They brew local coffee from other Kansas City spots too & there are a variety of pastries as well. The atmosphere: very "open mic" / cozy book store type. There is always somewhere to sit, from tables to couches.

    I stopped here today on my drive home to Dallas, Texas. This location popped up on Yelp and I had to gice it a try. Plus, with a seven hour drive, I needed the espresso. This coffeehouse is located on main street in Fort Scott. I was able to find a parking spot right across the street. The inside is super spacious and the baristas are very friendly. There are plenty of couches and comfortable seating for customers. There is also a stage that I assume is for live music. I ordered a large pumpkin spice latte and it was under $5. It was delicious and definitely gave me the caffeine I needed. This will be my stopping place each time I road trip home ;)

    A surprising coffee gem in a small town. Free WiFi and great coffee. I didn't have any of the food available - but the menu looked nice :) Pro-Tip: If you could add some vegan food options that would be awesome!

    Is "rustic industrial loft" a thing? This quirky and friendly coffee shop is a welcome find in the sleepy brick-cobbled town of Fort Scott Kansas. My cappuccino is smooth, frothy and in a perfect hand warming ceramic vessel, as I'm being swallowed by an oversized leather chair listening to families converse and soft melancholy singer songwriters fill the expansive yet cozy space.

    This is an excellent coffee place and surprised me to find in small community. Beautiful setting in the old downtown area. I'll be back.

    The pies and scones are TO DIE FOR. Everything was delicious and the space is gorgeous. The peanut butter pie was especially a hit.
