Stopped in to try and new coffee place. This is the tcu area so I will start off by saying it’s def a busy area and the parking situation is absolutely ridiculous! For students it’s great, especially if they’re walking here but with a car, it’s a no for me. I was so frustrated after driving around for about 5 mins that I was ready to just skip stopping here. Last minute, I found a parking couple blocks away and I was invested at this pint so walked in the rain to the shop. On a normal day, that’s acceptable, in the rain, a little frustrating. I have known too many to be towed from this area if you park in a lot that is not for this business and even if it was only 5 mins, I was not willing to risk getting towed.
This is a very different and cool setup. Definitely targeted for students and there is a stage for events that must take place - loved it.
Staff was friendly and I was greeted immediately and order taken. Ordered a No Bull - it was not crazy busy and ready pretty quick. Was flavored well but a little on the sweeter side for me. I may take another stab at another drink sometime but definitely when I have more time and it’s...

This coffee shop is perfect for relaxing, working on your laptop, or meeting with a friend. There is no loud music playing which is refreshing, you can actually hear your conversation.
Thank you, Common Grounds for a...
   Read moreMocha mint madness gets a rating of 2 stars. Honestly, it may just be the associate who made it. I took one slip and thought ok this is decent, but nothing great. Customer service was good, and I enjoyed the overall establishment. Plus the shop has a stage for performances. I was shocked to see only one pastry left near a college campus. The manager did mention when they sell out they usually don't make more. I noticed time on coffee cups don't align with the actual time your in shop. The place is very welcoming, clean, and the seating area is very spacious. I think it's a great place for a quick cup of coffee. Just make sure you know what you like and beverage is prepared the...
