Was passing by Spearfish and decided to try a local joint. I yelp and Common Grounds pops up with good reviews. As I walk in first thing that got my attention was the smell of roasted coffee. I decided to order a smoked salmon sandwich with a blueberry smoothie as I filled up some bags of their local coffee beans. Overall my travel buds and I loved our orders. Very good sandwiches, fun atmosphere, good menu and excellent customer service. Very friendly people and very good sandwiches. read more

Just meh. Watered down Americano. Ordering felt like we took the young woman away from chatting with here friends, not even a greeting, just walked up to the counter and looked at us, waiting for us to tell her our order. Outside front windows were cloudy and coated in winter's road grime. For me, that's a "tell" I missed walking in. read more

Great service! This place has enough space inside and out to join coworkers, teammates or friends to enjoy drinks and small bites. It also has a nice gift shop. I got a Frappuccino which was pretty good. They made it the way I like with oat milk and tons of caramel only at the bottom. This place is right off the Main Street in downtown Spearfish. Next time I come I want to try the caramel apple cinnamon roll which looked really good. read more

This is the BEST place. They're so nice here with a cozy, friendly vibe. The breakfast sandwiches are super delicious. Husband loved the Morning Cristo one, and my croissant was delightful. Coffee is fresh and perfectly brewed. And they have lovely pastries too. We bought some sandwiches to go for our lunch on the road, and we can't wait to try them! We've been here 3 times now on roadtrips and I don't know why you'd go anywhere else. read more

I am so impressed by this little coffee shop! It is so cute and has an extensive coffee and food menu. This seems like a great place to study or relax! What I ordered: I went here twice and got a cappuccino the first time and drip coffee the second time. Both were great! I also bought a t-shirt because they were so cute (and only $11 which is a steal)! If you are in spearfish, you have got to check out common grounds! read more

We stopped in Spearfish on our way from Devils Tower to Rapid City. We were hoping for a good sandwich. Yelp to the rescue! Common Grounds had a great rating so we decided to go there. First of all Spearfish is a very cute city. So I'm glad we stopped here. We highly recommend Common Grounds. The staff was very friendly and the food was delicious. I ordered the chicken salad on a toasted croissant. Good amount of topping and the croissant was extra good toasted! There is plenty of seating indoors and they have a great patio with lots of seating I wished we lived around this area - we would be regulars at this place!

I could really taste the chia in it but was still very good! For food both times we went there we got a Carmel roll along with avocado toast. The Carmel rolls were very delicious and big! We asked for them to heat it up and my goodness it just melted in your mouth! The avocado toast was really good. Overall our 2 breakfast experiences were really good!

I met up with friends for the first time today at this wonderful little coffee shop and was just blown away! It's right downtown and easy to find. Parking can be a little hectic during peak hours but we just parked the next block down and thaat wasn't a problem. Plus, it was soooo worth it! It's very cozy inside and there were tons of items too buy, like homemade hats, pictures that were hanging on the wall, mugs, etc. Great place to get unique gifts! Plenty of variety on the menu for food, coffee and blended drinks, but because I'm such a huge fish and seafood person as soon as I saw salmon on the menu I had to try it. I ordered the salmon wrap they has smoked in it. And when I say this was the best smoked salmon I've had in my life I'm not kidding! It was absolutely delicious! With the first bite I could tell how fresh it was. I'm not what type of wrap it was in but it was equally as delicious. I also ordered a Mochaccino, which was very tasty. The whole vibe here is warm, relaxed and friendly and the la that work here were super friendly. This coffee shop deserves 10 stars and I can't wait to go back! read more

It was Memorial Day, so there were limited options, but we were lucky these guys were open. From the outside, you don't get the cool coffee cafe, sandwich place vibe. Somehow, it feels like it would be an Italian restaurant. Inside, it's casual, warm and welcoming. Plenty of seating options, and it's kid friendly, as well. Free wifi. For drinks, they offer coffees, teas, and smoothies. For food, they have sandwiches, wraps, soups, and some baked goods. We had a turkey cobb sandwich and a 1/2 pastrami sandwich & potato soup. Bread was very fresh, and loved the sprouts. The potato soup was delicious and creamy, without being too rich. The blueberry smoothie was refreshing. read more

Everything from the attitude greeting at the door to paying the incorrect tab amount. It was awful. It took us a minute to find parking and finally found a spot up the street. We walked in and immediately the lady said how many people, we said 4 and she then said 'Well we have a limited menu today. You can get a breakfast burrito, breakfast sandwich or biscuits and gravy'. All of us were fine with that and said that is okay, then she looked around the room and said 'Well it is going to be a while' and then walked away. Not even a hi when we walked in the door, just straight to trying to drive us away. I went to the restroom and as I came out a table of 5 people that all had biscuits and gravy was being sent back the kitchen. That didn't look good since that is what I wanted. I heard the server ask the cook if he could heat them all up. I guess they were all cold. I could deal with that. We stood around waiting for about 15-20 minutes and the I walked over to their tiny casino area and threw in $5 to waste some time. Finally the same rude chic said to us that she had 2 high top 2 seat tables if we wanted to split. We were tired of waiting so we took them. Then we waited and waited. We watched several people come in and wait to be greeted and never spoken to, so they leave disgruntled. We waited maybe another 15-20 minutes watching other tables wait for their food and even their drinks to come. We finally got asked what we wanted to drink. We got iced tea each and ordered our limited menu breakfast. And then we waited FOREVER. The table next to us finally got their food in 2 waves with about 5-10 minutes apart. The server said the cook cannot make the gravy fsst enough. Honestly, they shouldn't have the biscuits and gravy on the menu if it takes that long. And why couldn't they have a basic breakfast, eggs, hash brown ham or sausage and toast. This was literally the items on the sandwich or the burrito. Would have made things easier for the cook. Our food finally arrived. My husbands breakfast sandwich looked amazing and it was steaming hot. My biscuits and gravy were good.... at first. One biscuit was light and fluffy but when I got to the second biscuit it was completely burned on the bottom. I couldn't even cut it. I gave up. The server gave us our tab and charged up for an omelet and hash browns for $13. They didn't even have omelets available! Then when my husband questioned the bill and the server started arguing with him. How are you going to charge us for something you don't even offer? It was ridiculous.

Service was congenial and swift. Seating is rustic and hip (they have an adorable Volkswagen van inside the cafe) and lots of nice seating. The coffees were great and the petite apricot "pop tart" was super tasty. My turkey sandwich was fresh with high quality turkey breast (looked like it was shaved off a breast of a big roasted turkey, not traditional cold cut pressed turkey) and delicious fresh ingredients (fresh avocado, sprouts, beautiful bread), but my husband's waffle stole the show! Smothered in peanut butter with sliced bananas, chocolate chips, and whipped cream, that was on top of a perfectly executed Belgian waffle - I kept stealing bites! It was absolutely delicious!! Looking forward to returning and trying something new (if I can keep myself from ordering the Elvis waffle or that delicious turkey avocado sandwich again!) ;)

Pastries anyone?

Compared to other sub shops in town,…read moreMike's has had some of the best: generous amounts of meat and even the mini was a good value even though more expensive than the competition. Today, however, was a huge disappointment. For nearly $8, I got 1/2 the ingredients as previously on bread that looked like a small kaiser roll. The club had maybe 1/2 inch of meat, some veggies and one measly thin slice of bacon. The whole sandwich as more like a Mike's slider than a reasonably sized sub sandwich. The product value has declined significantly since they opened early this year. Now instead of the best sandwich store in town, they aren't even close to the value of Subway which for a larger sandwich is half the cost. Not sure who is monitoring the quality at this store, but will have to step it up if it wants to keep customers like me.

The potatoes were so tender and the peppers and onions complimented it well. The eggs were cooked exactly how I asked too. Chris was my waiter & I loved the attention to detail he gave me from when I stepped in up until I left. The menu was very diverse and thorough. I had many options I could have picked from! The restaurant was small but clean and friendly. I got to meet the owners and they were so nice and welcoming to me. Most definitely a stop in spearfish if you're passing through!

The joy of coming into a restaurant/bakery early played well today…read more You order at the counter, where you see the freshly made bakery items filling the shelves as you wait to order. We splurged with a lemon danish while waiting for our main breakfast. It was still warm and amazing. The dough was odd for a danish, more like a yeast raised donut, but it really worked with the lemon. As others have mentioned, the potatoes are really well seasoned and carried the show. The bacon was also a very savory and good choice. Our eggs were, sadly, overcooked. Overall, a very good breakfast stop if you catch them. They are only open 4 days a week, and contrary to current Yelp settings, open at 7 am not 6. True rating: 4.5 stars.

My husband and I loved the place SO MUCH, that we made a second trip to take my mom for brunch. We had the potato and meat pasty...and biscuits and gravy. Both were awesome - home cooking at its finest. After I finished the order of biscuits and gravy, I wanted a second helping (I refrained). The décor is really charming - old formica tables, sofa and arm chairs, quilts and antiques, and a fireplace. If I still lived in the Black Hills, I know this would be a favorite place for coffee, comfort food, and great conversation!

They also have t-shirts, hats, cups, and mugs, etc for sale if that's your thing. Spent 20$ for 2 smoothies and a caramel roll. Maybe I'm cheap, but I won't be doing that again. I don't follow with the "everything's expensive so suck it up" crowd. This has gotten out of hand.
