"I stumbled upon Common Ground shortly after they opened, when I was still new to the Coast, and it instantly felt like home. It reminded me so much of my favorite spots in NY. The space is so beautiful, warm, and thoughtfully designed, and the people are genuinely lovely. It’s the kind of place you can come to work for a few hours, network, meet new friends, and actually feel like you’re building community just by being there. It’s become my third space in the best way. And the FOOD?! The pastries and savory options are unreal. I love that they have an in-house baker because you can truly taste the difference. But the coffee… the coffee?! Easily my new favorite beans regardless of the roast. They’re just all good! You can tell they really care about their coffee and the quality of every ingredient, and I love that they source from small businesses too. Such a great place! Owners are super nice too."

"I am from the Pacific Northwest, so I’ve been to my fair share of coffee shops —I LOVE this one! The Baklava (iced) latte & the Ube latte are particularly delicious for drinks, and the breakfast burritos were so good! The pastries are handmade, not pre-packaged & you can definitely tell, they’re so tasty. My fave is the almond croissant cookie, but the bagels are delish too. The vibe is cute, they have community activities available (puzzles, etc) and they showcase artist-made goods for sale too. The coffee shop is next to a yoga studio & spa, and a cafe, so you really can’t beat the vibe and location."

"i really enjoy the calming atmosphere and the drinks are really unique. you can’t find drinks like these in any cafe in ocean springs other than here. the tres leche cold brew was fantastic. unfortunately, the matcha was pretty bad. i understand why, as matcha can be hard to find and many cafes don’t properly whisk it, but if you are a matcha fan don’t get this. it tastes purely of cream. if you are new to matcha you might like it. edit: last week i went back and got the coco caramiso and baklava latte. both are very very yummy!"

"love coming here to work from home it’s such a VIBE. The coffee is always prepared perfectly, and the food is consistently delicious with fresh ingredients. The staff is incredibly friendly, and you can genuinely tell they enjoy serving their customers. On top of that, the space is beautifully decorated and makes it an inviting place to spend time. Hands down the best coffee shop in Ocean Springs."

"We stopped by after church, drawn in by the delicious-looking pancake pictures. We were a bit disappointed to find out that they only serve pancakes every other week. However, we appreciated their lovely selection of coffees and pastries. It was also great to see that masala tea is an option! The cozy atmosphere made our visit even better, and the staff member was nice and accommodating. I'm sure that if they position this place as an Indian breakfast destination, it will be a great success."
