Inside you'll find a gift shop offering Wisconsin-themed items, along with a fridge that has different meats and sausages. There are conference rooms that look like they could be rented or used for small groups. In the middle of all this is the coffee shop. The coffee shop itself is not a large operation. There are some very nice seating options that include high tops, tables, and couches. The windows let in a lot of natural light. There is merchandise that includes shirts, coffee, and accessories. There were a few other people inside, and everyone was having quiet conversations. Got a nice greeting from the baristas. It looked like one of them was in training. Ordered a couple of London Fog Tea Lattes (a little lavender, a little vanilla, extra foam) in a mug. I would normally get a piece of pastry, and prefer a scone, but they didn't offer those, so I skipped that. The senior staffer was doing a nice job helping the trainee with the recipe and process. It seemed to be a helpful and caring relationship between the two. After a few minutes, we got our drinks. We usually just get the drink in a mug, but our drinks were made in a small coffee urn, and we were able to pour them after they finished steeping. That was a nice option. The drinks had nice flavor with the extra foam. However, they were just barely warm. We decided to drink them, but I did mention this to one of the staff afterward. It's a nice place to hang out. Next time I would definitely mention or ask for my latte to be hotter (around 130°F to 145°F).

Since this is first a coffee shop, I will talk about the coffee first. The cafe latte I had was excellent. The baristas were polite, friendly, and seemingly skilled. The shop also have a very nice atmosphere- cute, cozy, and clean. Unfortunately, the "internet" (and I use that term loosely) was complete garbage. When my webpages weren't loading, I tried to perform a speed test. For some reason, the connection sporadically cuts out. It was so unstable the test couldn't even perform the upload portion with multiple attempts. For me, a coffee shop is about so much more than just coffee. Because I wasn't even able to do the simplest work, I can only give Uncommon Ground three stars. If you don't care about the internet portion of "internet cafe," this is an excellent choice. If you need to do some studying, choose somewhere else. read more
