"Common Grounds on Howe Ave in Shelton is one of those places that immediately makes you feel at home. Datleen, Lorena, Valeria, and Karla are absolutely wonderful, friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. Sitting here feels like relaxing in your own living room, which is a rare and special vibe for a coffee spot. The coffee is consistently excellent, and the pastries are fresh and delicious. While the sandwiches are not the main highlight for me, everything else more than makes up for it. Overall, it is a great local spot with amazing staff, great coffee, and a comfortable atmosphere that keeps me coming back."

"Great coffee & really cool atmosphere. However food I’d prolly go elsewhere. Wicked stringy pudding & what was thought to be a treat turned out to be thrown in the circular file and a burn in my wallet 😷 I would just stick with the coffee ☕️"

"This coffee shop is very cute and cozy, I ordered a chicken wrap and a cinnamon apple muffin and they were both delicious! The peppermint mocha latte is also very good and they have different flavors for holidays. My cousin who is a barista said that they use the “fancy syrup.” If I lived closer, I would be here more often! 😊"

"I had caffee lattee- milk is thick and stays thick, super good. I had regular coffee days before, it's really one of the best coffee, kind of thick . Breed to perfection. They have the best coffee I had in the state of Connecticut. Nice place, They have tip showing up if you are paying with your card, so they might have charged me 15% tip, did not receive receipt. But it's worth it, coffee and atmosphere is really good."

"Such a cute coffee shop with delicious drinks! I tried their chai latte with with pumpkin foam which really impressed me — there was actual pumpkin in the drink which really added to the flavor. PS in the picture attached to this review, that is a size small drink. So keep in mind when ordering coffee especially; the large is LARGE. They also have a drive through which is super convenient."
