"I don't live in the Cleveland area but I visit a lot. I was introduced to this place on my current visit, and I wish there was a place like this where I'm from! I've came here twice this week for some tea and time to work on my book. Based on my limited experience here, seems like Common Grounds is an LGBTQ+ friendly safe haven for creative folks, night owls, and even D&D players. I've seen artists drawing, friends playing games, and individuals just coming to study or take a beat. This truly feels like a third space, the staff is sweet and welcoming, it was definitely a good spot to nerd out. The best part is that it's open until 2AM, and as someone who gets their best work done late at night, I literally dream of a place like this closer to me. We NEED spaces like this more than ever right now!!"

"A great selection of fun drinks - the “liquid thin mint” and the “liquid chocolate covered banana” were particular favorites. Friendly and efficient service and plenty of seating."

"The staff have always been nice here. Ive loved their giant chocolate chip cookies since I was a kid. I appreciate the variety of alternative milks they have. And their specialty drinks always taste great."

"Cute coffee shop with games at the back and a nice selection of specialty coffees. I completely missed that side of the menu so unfortunately I didn’t get a taste of any but with the amount of people that were at the shop I could tell they are pretty popular.. they don’t take debit/credit but do have an ATM inside for withdrawals."

"I’ve been coming here for years and absolutely love it. Simple yet fun menu. Great vibes. Just make sure you bring cash. I’d highly recommend this coffee spot!"
