"Beautiful atmosphere, and a lovely working staff. Me and my friend brought her kids into the Common Grounds to get coffee and snacks and the owner was lovely. Amazing time and we are so happy to have been able to stop in. A bright spot in the middle of Nashville!"

"The best coffee I’ve had in a long time beats a Starbucks any day and books to read as you sit and enjoy your coffee or meal definitely a plus will be returning the only thing that sucks is the parking but I would walk for this drink"

"Several years ago, we went to Common Grounds and had an AMAZING experience. My mom has talked about what a great time she had often. So it was obvious we’d try it out again during our stay in Nashville. Unfortunately, our experience wasn’t the same as years ago. They have a large menu, they even had gluten free cookies, and the woman who (I’m assuming) runs the place was very eager to please… that’s about all the positive things I can say. It is not a calm environment and the atmosphere is just not good. There is stuff EVERYWHERE and it feels extremely cluttered. I would never go here to study or take a friend here to sit, solely because of the disorderly environment. We hope next time we come to town it will be more like it was last time!"

"Wonderful experience. We love the variety of beverages and of course the hugs from Iris are heartwarming and sincere."

"We tested every coffee shop in Nashville to find the best espresso, this is the BEST place! The shot was pulled perfectly, we ordered a mocha and it was perfect also. If your looking for the best coffee drink in the area this is the best!"
