I'm a fan. I like the ambiance, and the food ain't so bad either. But I have deducted 1 star for…read morethe following reasons: For a cafe that's a bit farther out of the way, I think Common Ground's pricing is still pretty expensive. Don't get me wrong, I kinda like the idea that it's a bit farther out, it makes the place a bit less mad and crowded, but for that reason, I think the owners would drop the price a little. I had the smoked salmon open sandwich and a glass of lemongrass tea. Both were delicious! However, for the price that I paid, I think the portions were measly. The smoked salmon sandwich was flavourful and light but I definitely could have had another half portion easily. The lemongrass tea was also very yummy (something that i've never tried before) but for the price you pay for a coffee, I don't think it was worth it. (Esp finding out later how easy this was to make at home!!) I would recommend this place if you want a place where you can chill out forever. (Maybe that's the price you pay for not feeling obligated to rush) Sometimes it gets crowded that people sit on the steps outside, and the area surrounding it is quiet and perfect for it. It's a nice place to bring somebody from out of town and you want to show them a unique place, but for me, it's not a place I would afford to go regularly :(

I had heard really nice things about Common Ground before I decided to give it a go this afternoon…read more It's located in an ultra quiet street right by PMQ and it's just lovely. It's rather small which makes it cozy and when the weather is good, as it was today, you can seat outside at the tables or in some wooden seats stairs-shaped. The atmosphere was great but I couldn't find a free seat outside so decided to take a seat at the common table inside. As I was waiting for someone else I looked around and could tell that things are well taken care of here. The girls seating next to me were having an all day breakfast (or so that was my conclusion by looking at the menu and back to their board) and it was very nicely presented. I only had a green tea, which was nice, but I'll probably try out something else next time as their menu is rather big for a cafe. Next door to Common Ground there's an art jamming place which makes the atmosphere even nicer... Love this newly found hidden cafe!

I just got the cappuccino, and it was a good cappuccino. It was very smooth and didn't taste burnt. Burnt coffee is the cardinal sin of baristas. Anyway, I got here at around 10:30 and connected to Wi-Fi. The internet is really slow here. Within an hour, the place was packed, and people were standing waiting for seats to be free. While I was sitting by myself with my cappuccino waiting for my video to download from the slow internet. Were people giving me side eyes? Absolutely. But I got there early. For the reason that I came to The Cupping Room, this is not a great place to work, but it's ok if you need a place. It would probably be better in the afternoon when people aren't brunching.

The Americano was well done, no complains. Good service. Cute brand!

Looks like selling alcohol is their forte and the cafe business is to support the rent. Lunch was mediocre ($70-120 for a set lunch) but quite a chill and relaxing place. Coffee's not too bad ... The place is busy on a sat lunch ... Reflective of its price and comfort I guess.

This is one of my favorite places to go to for an afternoon tea. While most cafes do tea sets only…read moreon weekdays, UCC does them on weekends as well which is great because their sets are actually pretty good value for money. They come with food and a drink, and most people get hot coffee because their coffee is AMAZING. It's UCC Japanese-style roasted coffee, so it's not the typical coffee you're used to drinking. It's much smoother and richer and I actually prefer UCC coffee to western-style coffee. The iced coffee is very refreshing, though when served this way the ice dilutes the flavor of the coffee so I prefer opting for the hot coffee. The tea set menu doesn't change often, and the first few options are always waffles - both sweet and savory, like waffles with blueberries and ice cream, matcha and red bean waffles, tuna salad with waffles etc. They gave other items too like French toast and a slice of cake, but the waffles are amazing and I choose that almost every time I'm there for tea. The waffles don't have the overly 'eggy' taste that I find in a lot of waffles at other places, and they're just the right about of sweet. The set comes with two waffles which to me is just about right for an afternoon tea set - doesn't leave me feeling bloated, but I don't feel like I've barely eaten either.

Although consistent at all of their branches, I wouldn't say the food at Tai Hing is my favorite. It's way too expensive for what you get. This time I had the beef brisket curry, and the lunch set was $65! It was just the curry, rice and a drink. The flavor of the curry was pretty good, but again, not worth the money.

Food: I had the beef with flat noodles, wet-style as part of the lunch set. I was AMAZED how tender their beef was. Not tough at all. Their veggies in the dish (choy sum) were also not chewy either.

With a drink, the set was about $70.
