    Pumpkin foam cold brew

    Nice little drive thru . Friendly and great tasting drinks ! On a trip from Ohio so I like to support smaller local businesses and this was a great one!!

    The coffee is great but the service is the best! We went twice and were so happy with both visits. And they offer a significant military discount. All this and a chocolate covered espresso bean on top!

    Large Brewed Coffee - Hot & Fresh

    I have driven by Common Grounds every day, twice a day on the way to school drop off but decided to finally stop and give it a try. It is drive through only as it's a small kiosk set up in the Hartland Kroger shopping center. I ordered a large brewed coffee with cream and sugar (nothing fancy!). The coffee was hot, fresh and the two employees working were very friendly and personable. The price was comparable with Starbucks, but I am happy to support a local Lexington business. Will not be my last time stopping!

    This cute coffee spot in the Kroger Hartland Center is one of Lexington's greatest hidden jewels. The coffee made here is nothing but pure java heaven and the best part is that you can drive through on either side. It can get a bit busy at rush hour but you will never be denied fabulous customer service and did I mention fabulous java? The prices are extraordinarily cheap yet the quality is much better than any Starbucks. Rhoda, the manager always take her time to get to know you including memorizing our orders plus knowing little stuff in our lives. You can add shots, soy, whatever for a quarter or thereabouts which is a steal in this coffee hungry city. If you are looking for some authentic local coffee to go, this is the place and definitely a place that Lexington can be proud of! Whitney and Rhoda are my favorite baristas! May Java Be With You at the Daily Grind!

    I ordered a cold brew with vanilla cold foam. It was one of the better cold brews I have had. Service was quick.

    I used to come here all the time but now the girls who work the window aren't friendly at all. Don't waste your time

    Unify Coffee is my new favorite coffee shop in Nicholasville! What a fun place this is! This is a…read morecafe with a cereal bar and vintage clothing shop.  I came here to check it out and found out it is turning 2 years in business. Nice. There are quite a few tables and free WiFi. It even has a full cereal bar. Wow!  It is centrally located in a shopping plaza with plenty of free parking, friendly staff and clean and comfortable common areas. I went for a latte, and it was delicious.  Overall, 100% recommended.

    Road tripping. Monday morning, 10:30 AM, no line. Two baristas. I walked up to the counter and…read moreordered a flat white and some macarons. Then I realized they have cereal milk lattes, so I ordered one of those. This place seems neat! After about five minutes, I was confused about no sound of espresso grinding or pulling shots or milk steaming. I watched the two baristas' actions and none of it made sense, mostly considering that neither was doing anything with drinks. One of them microwaved some things and the other filled a syrup bottle. Eventually, one barista had lined up a lot of 16-ounce cups. Seems like the business has online orders coming through at an overwhelming rate. I hope y'all figure this out. At 11:00 AM, 25+ minutes into my wait, there was a lineup of customers. The dude at the front of the line went unacknowledged for several minutes. That's when I gave up being patient and asked the nearest barista when I'd have my drinks. She kindly told me "five minutes," and when I said "I've been waiting 25 minutes," she calmly and politely replied that she'd make my drinks right away. Bless up. At 11:06 AM, after 30+ minutes, I had my goods and was out the door. Our kid loved the macarons! And the barista who interacted with me was sweet. However, the wait was outrageous and my "flat white" is a 12-ounce latte. The Cinnamon Toast Crunch latte is delicious. To the owners/management--please support your staff and operations better! Also, either figure out what a flat white is and serve it properly or take it off of your menu.
