"This cafe is a must-visit for York County. They create high quality drinks, their craft their food from scratch, and their prices are phenomenal. I entered curious, and I left feeling like a peach. It's that perfect combination of small town love, memorable coffee, and an owner who will bend over backwards to make customers happy. Attached to my review is everything I purchased today. Four tins of tea was $13.00, and, I got two teabags to sample for free. This is a special sale that runs every quarter. They also host high tea events, where 100% of everything is made from scratch. I ordered a Banana Pumpkin Latte, and was pleasantly surprised. A medium size costed me $3.19. The owner loved telling me about the drink's creation, and the ingredients Common Ground uses for the other menu options. Some may not find this type of information helpful. However, if I am putting my money towards a business, I like knowing the history and process behind something I purchase. The Farmhouse salad costed around $6.50. It was the same size as a $10.00 salad from a restaurant. Again, everything was made from scratch and it was fresh. Saving money = a happy me. Small companies need our help right now. I encourage anyone to try out Common Grounds. It's worth the drive. Sincerely, A Really Picky Person"
"Parking is a bit odd, either around the side or the back. Decent food and coffee. Bathrooms and handicap parking available. Just okay, nothing bad to say really, just nothing outstanding either."
"We stop by for lunch again. The high schoolers wait staff are the cuties!! We stopped after an hour walk this morning. Good coffee, Chai tea latte and breakfast sandwiches. Great price. We will be back again."
