    CASH ONLY!
    Willainia S.

    I cannot believe I have never heard of this 24 hours coffee shop. I popped in on a Saturday evening to grab coffee and dig the scene. I ended up getting the Nutty Irishman iced. The drink was hitting on all cylinders. They also have some baked goods for sale. I did not indulge. The place is a bit divy and it is cash only. They also offer a few arcade games in the back (highlight being donkey kong and tekken). When I visited there was a group playing some sort of board game that I have never seen before and a couple of people just playing full out video games. I don't imagine myself hanging out there on the regular but I could see swinging by to get coffee on occasion. I suspect that the people watching gets good after hours. Tip: Bring cash because no one wants to a Key Bank atm, unless they bank with atm. ( the convenience fee is $4.00) Check this link for the visual: https://vm.tiktok.com/TTPdYsvWgY/

    I stopped by for a late night coffee with some friends after having dinner nearby as this shop was open still. We'd never been before. If you're driving over, there's plenty of street parking so that's cool. When we walked in, we immediately felt like we weren't welcome - all the patrons and the barista looked at us like we were lost. We disregarded that and got in line. It was nice to see folks socially distanced both in line and at the indoor seating. When we went to order, we asked for some clarification on the menu items. The barista was annoyed by our questions and seemed confused about our lack of knowledge about the "obvious" drink options. If you read the options "Voltaire", "Sledgehammer" or "Funky Monkey" would you be able to tell what type of coffee beverage they were? These were unlike any common option we'd seen before. After our questions were answered, we simplified the order and requested 3 of the same drink to make things easier on our newly frustrated barista. We hadn't been here before so when I went to pay, we were informed the establishment is cash only! Luckily they have an ATM. I stepped over to the ATM, got some cash, and went to pay. Unfortunately, using the ATM meant that I lost my place in line so my friends and I had to get back in line. I thought our drinks would be ready by then but nope - the barista didn't think we'd pay so he never started them. I ordered them again and handed him the $20 bill I'd just taken from their ATM. Can you believe he used the fake bill checker pen on it?! I was in shock. Anyway, we got our drinks, which unfortunately came in styrofoam cups, and left. I don't feel the need to return. The place has potential as it's open late, has plenty of seating and some arcade games; it's a shame my visit ended this way.

    *Open 24 hours** A friend and I originally planned to visit 5 points coffee and tea but when we arrived at 6:15pm we realised that they closed at 6pm on Fridays so we ended up here at Common Grounds. I've always passed this tea and coffee shop whenever I would drive to Chase bank at Kamm's Corner but I was never interested in entering because I thought there was only street parking. ALAS! There is a parking lot at the back. The parking lot was full when I arrived but I luckily found one spot open. Another person was leaving too so my friend found a spot as well. I visited yesterday (22 March 2019) and stayed for about 2.5 hours. This is a very basic shop that does the job. VIBE -- It is very dark inside with black and purple walls. I almost felt as if I was at a bar. It also didn't look that clean. I prefer bright tea shops so this shop was not my vibe. I visited on a Friday evening and arrived around 6:30pm. There were about 6 people inside so it was quiet. With the loud music, this is not a good place to study or get work done. My friend and I came to just chat so the noise level was fine for us. I did notice other people had their laptops with them and they were very focused. GAME ARCADE - I have never seen game machines inside a coffee/tea shop before but Common Grounds has about 4 or 5 game machines at the back end of the shop. This is definitely different but cool. One of the games that I saw is PacMan. I didn't play any games but they looked fun. Around 9:00pm, some people started playing games so the noise level increased. COFFEE / TEA / SNACKS - I ordered a medium size tea (Rooibos tea) which came in a plastic/styrofoam cup. It costs $2. The tea was good because I grew up drinking Rooibos tea so I know all about this red tea. There are other drinks on the menu too such as coffee and cocoa (or hot chocolate I assume). They also sell muffins, cookies, bagels, and brownies. SERVICE - There was one gentleman behind the counter who was friendly and took my order. He also gave me the bathroom key when I asked. TIP -- This coffee/tea shop is CASH ONLY but there is a general ATM here for your convenience. I didn't know it was cash only until I was ready to pay so perhaps they need to work on advertising that better. I had no cash on me so my friend paid for me. There is an extra charge on the ATM machine to withdraw cash if you use it. Overall, this coffee/tea does the job and appeals to alot of people because it is open 24/7. I heard that there is free wifi too. The dark and dingy interior is just not my vibe at all and some variety in their menu would be nice. *** - 47 total reviews in 2019 - 256 total Yelp reviews - Reviewed on 23 March 2019

    Dave and Buster's is one of those difficult places to recommend or not recommend. I guess it's not…read moreright to say. A place to not recommend is always very simple because their price gouging or the food is horrible or they're doing something that is just downright sheet and that is not happening here. I had a recent experience I Dave & Buster's that was throwing me off big time and while David Buster's corporate upset me the management and the weight staff were phenomenal. They did everything in their power to see to it that my boys and I had an amazing time. So I could not speak highly enough of this locations, manager and waiter or waitress, rather at least in the restaurant area. I always feel a little odd in the arcade and the price section because let's face it. The prizes are way overpriced and the number of tickets it cost for something and the number of games it would take to earn the tickets are beyond comprehension, so the amount of money would take to win those tickets is staggering, but I don't imagine too many people really go in with that mindset unless they're doing as a group and everybody's pulling it all together. We usually go in a few times a year, have a good time, go in on a Wednesday and just have fun. Last year for their grand reopening, I waited in line for the "pregaming for a year" I got the card and the coupon book it sadly about a week afterwards someone stole the coupon book out of my car, which truly truly suck, but we've gotten to use it once with my son and that made for a very good birthday for him at least the first time. And that was at least something. They provided something awesome, and awesome experience work, it's an awesome possible experience, and I just screwed that up lol. Dave & Buster's can be a truly fantastic place for family and friends. It's bright, shiny, good music, tons of sports on the TVs, very entertaining, and the people are delight. I've been frequently Dave & Buster's since I was a young man in Philadelphia and I imagine I will continue to do so for many years to come.

    Had to wait 20 minutes but that was fine enough games to pass time with. Had the Dave burger with…read morecrispy onions too die for was great noise level was fairly loud as usually expected food was awesome for all of us
