The absolute best staff ever!!! So kind and delicious coffee and pastries with local ingredients like local honey etc relaxing cozy inside.

Coffee

Payson is always my stopping point when driving up north. I was looking for a local pick me up that wasn't Starbucks. Common Ground was welcoming and cozy vibe. The baristas were kind and friendly. The coffee was really delicious. I got the largest size and saved half for the next morning and it was just as delicious the next day. I will be stopping here every time I'm passing through! Thank you Common Grounds for the hospitality:)

Common Grounds is a local coffee spot that's absolutely incredible. The vibe is very quaint and homey. Chi was our barista she was very friendly and helpful. I enjoyed the lavender late. We had fresh baked apple scones and quiche. It's worth passing up Starbucks. Lots of great outdoor seating.

Driving home from Flagstaff, stopped in Payson and had a hankering for a bagel. Happened to find this place on yelp from a review raving about their bagels and they weren't kidding! These are the best bagels we've ever had. And you can TELL they are truly sourdough. The ambiance of the coffee felt like we stepped into a secret local meeting ground. Everyone was so friendly and they were even playing patriotic music, felt right at home. I'm from Texas, but I'd come back for this place.

Mocha

Such a cute coffee shop!! We stopped here on our way home from spending the weekend in strawberry and the coffee was so good. The mocha choc they make from scratch and is delicious. And the employees were friendly and welcoming!

Cute small town coffee shop! Was easy to find and no problem parking. I was excited to see on the menu that they had a latte with local honey and lavender so I ordered that iced with oat milk, and got my husband an iced whole milk caramel latte. They were ready fast and the baristas were super nice. My latte at first tasted the tiniest bit burnt but the lavender and honey in it tasted really amazing. My husband enjoyed his latte as well. Very cute in here and plenty of seating. Great local place to stop if you're in Payson.

Loved this place so much last time u I was in town I have sent friends and made it my guest stop back in town. Such friendly vibes and lots of great people inside. I decided to try the sourdough loaf today. So fresh and good! A bit pricey at $11 but a nice treat.

Georgia drink

Kind of a blink and you'll miss it until you whiz past the giant white coffee cup in the entrance. When you walk into Common Grounds you're immediately hit with that amazing coffee smell. The interior is relaxed and calming, super cute with tables and chairs in the open area. My husband got an iced mocha and I got their Local Bee Latte: espresso, milk of, boyd's farm honey+pine creek lavender farm lavender sugar. Sweet but not too sweet. I'll definitely stop by here whenever I'm in Payson, it's such a nice coffee shop.

Shay was an absolute delight and so was Sarina!! Such a cute atmosphere and the coffee was so delicious!! We're visiting from PHX and this place was a total vibe! So in love with this place and highly recommend. Wonderful service and can't wait to be back tomorrow.

On a chilly, rainy New Year's Day, we ventured into the Shroom Room in search of some caffeinated…read moremotivation--and it did not disappoint. This charmingly cozy cabin welcomed us in with a heavenly scent and an absolutely adorable aesthetic that instantly made us feel at home. My husband ordered the iced Shroomy Mocha, while I opted for the hot Spicy Chai. Taste-wise, I'm not someone who typically likes--or even tolerates--the flavor of mushrooms, but I was intrigued enough to try it. I don't recall which mushroom was used in the chai, as it was a recommendation from the barista. While the chai latte did have a slightly different flavor profile than the chai from my favorite local shop, it was beautifully balanced with a gentle note of earthiness that was not at all reminiscent of mushrooms. Both drinks were well crafted, delicious, and hit all the right notes. The service was friendly and welcoming, with light conversation and thoughtful answers to my questions, which made the experience even more enjoyable. Now for the fun part: the retail! What an amazing mix of cute and quirky items for sale. From stickers, clothes, and accessories to teas, coffees, and other goodies for home use, it's clear that whoever curates the shop has an excellent eye and a genuine passion for fun, whimsical details. If I lived in Payson, I'd absolutely be a regular. The Shroom Room is, plain and simple, a feel-good place--and well worth a visit.

Permanently closed. I am Super sad news the Shroom room here in Payson is permanently closed. I am…read moreso sad. I always look forward to stopping there on the way up to our cabin and on the way home. They had the most delicious tea and brownies absolutely to die for I guess I'm gonna go grieve right now. Found out there's one in Mesa
