DON'T USE THE YELP VOUCHER!!!!!! Took them over 15 minutes to figure out how to process the transaction. Then overcharged me before figuring it all out and charging the appropriate amount. Management needs to do better. Unfortunately first impressions count. I was severely unimpressed. HOWEVER, I ordered the wild wildberry smoothie and created my own omelette. read more

This place is amazing, as an outside sales manager, I find myself travelo my all over the region and constantly trying to find new coffee shops and cafe's in my travels. Common Ground is the best in the area for Sure! Coffee is perfect, food is to die for and the service is impeccable (not too bad to look at either). I highly recommend this establishment! read more

This place is a real gem. Great food, including pastries and proper breakfast and lunch, drinks, friendly staff, lots of light even in the winter. Plus very reasonably priced. Very grateful this place exists. read more

Great food, all fresh ingredients. A great stop on the way to the Freedom Trail. We bought 2# of coffee too!

I'm happy to have this coffee place in my neighborhood! Coffee is just amazing, capuchino cannot be completed with any I've tried so far in this area. .. breakfast, or any other food as a matter of fact, is simply delicious, natural and , OMG so inexpensive. ... the owner and employees I've met so far are very helpful and kind, great service! Whoever drives on route 16 should definitely stop by and try it out. You will become a regular, I promise! read more

Oh my gawd this place is too too too awesome. The coffee is fabulous and the food is too!

Great spot! The coffee was powerful...powerful. Dark and strong...and very reasonable. The coffee by the pound is a great deal at $10 a lb for organic. The baristas were super friendly and made me feel like a regular even though it was my first time there. I'll be visiting weekly! read more

A+. Fantastic breakfast sandwiches, delicious coffee, and excellent service. I just enjoyed my breakfast so much that I've decided to post my first Yelp review. I'll definitely be back! read more

What can I say but fantastic. For those of you who like good coffee without the feel of commercialism than this is the place for you. The coffee is solid and they have a decent size selection of syrup flavors. The menu goes quite well for such a quaint place and how can I forget the staff. They're friendly and always remember faces. Since its local family owned, they take the time to satisfy the customer. All and all, this is a great spot for coffee and many assortments of delectable snacks and food items to please any palett. read more

I can't get enough of this place! I had driven by so many times and said "I need to stop" and I finally did! The coffee is amazing! I just wish it was on my way to work so I could stop every morning! Love it! read more

Staff are very welcoming and accommodating. Wonderful breakfast sandwiches made with REAL fresh eggs. Worth the (short) wait in the morning compared to a DD breakfast. Convenient location. read more

Checked this place out the other morning for iced coffee and some egg and cheese sandwiches, I would say it was mediocre. The flavored coffees are made with syrup, I prefer the flavor being actually brewed into the coffee. The croissant my egg and cheese was on was extremely fresh and delicious but the egg was not great and had way too much pepper! I would go again if in the area but likely just for a coffee. read more

Wow that coffee! Love the Brazilian coffee especially. Egg sandwich was excellent. Prices very reasonable.

Don't judge by the exterior and surrounding, this place is unbelievable. Delicious coffee, breakfast sandwich from hell, fresh Brazilian cheesy bread if you come at the right moment too. read more

Charming place , mom and pop place type of feeling, great warm friendly service , and the food was delicious!

I've been buying espresso beans from Common Ground since last October. Excellent coffee, roasted to perfection...and not over roasted like some. My espresso machine loves it too! It's always busy...with cool-looking people. Kind of small so don't be surprised if there's a bit of a wait during busy times. read more

We often go there on Saturdays for their brunch. I loved their "Everything Omelette", which tastes great but not too salty. Last Saturday we went there a bit late and missed the brunch hours, so I tried their Herb Chicken Panini which was also a blast. I really loved this place! Only wish it opened on Sundays too. read more

Decently priced breakfast option. Ordered scrambled eggs even though not in the menu. The eggs were awesome and so was the whole wheat bagel breakfast sandwich. You also can't go wrong on the banana Nutella sandwich. Coffee is tasting good too. Service is great too. read more

Small place, only about 6 little tables, but the vibe is cool, and the baked goods are yummy :-)

I love this place, always a pleasant experience to go there. The staff is always friendly and the prices are reasonable. Oh and the coffe and food taste great! read more

From out of town and stopped in for some breakfast. Super nice staff and food was delicious, especially those cheesy rolls! Loved that you carried different types of non dairy milk and truvia. Great coffee and good value for our meals too. read more

One of the best coffees I've ever had. Roasted on site. Killer breakfast sandwich. Eggs broken over medium just the way I like.

Food is fresh - so not always super fast, but worth the wait. Service is helpful and there's a big variety of options. The portugese soup is fantastic, especially with the little cheese dough balls you'll see in the bakery display. You MUST try those - they're flaky outside, soft inside and have that crackle of cheese outside that's salty and crisp. They're amazing. read more

Love love love this little place. The coffee is always made to order and the food is fresh. A breakfast sandwich taste like someone made it at home with lots of love for you! The staff is unbelievable so kind and very sweet. read more

Went by today to try it after seeing such great reviews. Got an iced coffee and egg and cheese on an everything bagel. The coffee was delicious! And the sandwich was really good! Staff was super friendly. The only thing was that it was a bit cramped (also went at a busy time, though). I will definitely come back to pick up coffee and food! read more

I go here at least once a week. I love the staff there and the interior is nicely decorated. Prices are very good. The coffee is very flavorful (iced coffee that is actually strong!). I also buy their whole roasted coffee beans to grind and brew at home. I plan on giving them out for Christmas gifts this year because I love being able to support a local business. Also, I Iove their bagels but they are HUGE- if I get an egg and cheese sandwich I usually share it with someone! Lunch sandwiches sound good too, but I haven't tried them yet. Great place! read more

My partner and I's go-to breakfast spot on the weekends. The menu isn't extensive, but we love breakfast sandwiches and they make an amazing one here. The croissant and asiago bagel are to die for, so I usually switch back and forth between the two for my sandwich. The coffee is also fresh and delicious with tons of flavors and variations to choose from. We love the banana flavor because it is the first banana flavor coffee we've had that has a strong, banana flavor. The parking lot and the cafe is small, but we've never had a problem finding a spot or seat. The staff is very friendly and makes you feel like a regular after just a few visits. read more

great coffee and food, small place but everyone from everett high loves this location! a go to

Fantastic coffee and breakfast menu. Not too many hipsters hanging around which is always a plus!

Great iced coffee. Even better breakfast sandwiches (sausage, egg, and cheese on plain bagel - YUM!)

Internet works well but I asked for no dressing on the Salad and soy milk in the latte and I got neither. Good name though. That's why I came in originally. That, and wanting to support local biz. read more

Common Grounds is on my way to work so I come here a couple times a week for lunch. Staff is friendly they give you a ton of food, the coffees are strong and delicious. This is a favorite spot for me! read more

Great place for strong and great tatting coffee. My favorite is the iced latte , it the big picture on the front door. For an iced latte it actually very stong and has flavor. The shop is clean with friendly and honest workers, I overpaid by a dollar and the barista was honest enough to give it back. Worth a stop parking can be tight! read more

I love this place. I live around the corner and have to stop myself from coming in every single morning only because I know I should be saving my money! The coffee is amazing, it makes Dunkins taste like dirty water. The breakfast sandwiches are phenomenal and huge, I like a ham egg and cheese on a croissant. The baked goods are delicious as well, my favorite is the coconut muffin! On top of that the girls who work here are super friendly. Great local alternative to the chains! read more

Very cozy , excellent omelettes, good coffee. Very inexpensive for the quality food and portions . I would say it was a great experience .

Everything here is a cut above any other coffee shop in the area. Egg and cheese on croissant had buttery and spicy flavors I had never tasted before. The espresso blend from Brazil and Ethiopia had flavors I had never tasted before. The music I heard via Pandora was bluesy, earthy and touched my heart in new ways never experienced before. I bought a pound of the espresso blend beans which they roast right there. Only $11. If you want reasonable prices and new sound and taste experiences then stop here. read more

This is one of my go-to places for brunch on the weekend. They have a more extensive menu than what is written on the board and the Eggs Benedict is my favorite. It is a small place so seating can be tough, but I have always had good luck and found a seat. Incredibly friendly service. Highly recommend. read more

I was the only one when walked in at 2pm, so I got waited on right away. I sat down and the barista delivered my americano. A few minutes later, she delivered my breakfast sandwich on a croissant. It was good, (not great) with what I assume is a pre-cooked scrambled egg. It's what you expect at a coffee shop vs. a cook-to-order restaurant. But good coffee and good service rule the day here and it's a nice venture away from Starbucks and Dunkin'. read more

Stopped in this morning and had the yummiest coffee! Half decaf, half regular with a breakfast sandwich on an English muffin. The muffin was the real deal. Small place but clearly a good stop. I got my stuff to go because it was crowded. read more

This place is top notch. The coffee is excellent, some of the best I've ever had. The food is excellent. It's cheap, clean, and the staff is super friendly! I walk in and they already know what I want and start my order. Check it out. read more
