Nice coffee shop with good fresh coffee of different varieties and donuts and pastries to nosh on. Good music, low key atmosphere, friendly staff complement this comfortable shop. Outlets are limited but I found one easily. Crowded with students and chess-players on a rainy day. Signal strength is outstanding and needs no configuration. A bit of old Europe.

Helpful Staff

The connection disappeared at one point while I was in this morning, but a quick mention to the staff member on duty had it fixed. Apparently there's a connection that occasionally comes loose, but they can fix it easily - Just Ask!

Great community

Common Ground has a great relaxed atmosphere, a wonderfully diverse clientele (more than the hip 20-somethings you tend to find in coffee shops), very reasonable prices, a friendly staff, and fair trade coffee for sale. The connection is stable and speedy.

Grrrrr!

I can't get online here. Despite multiple attempts and seamless success with other wi-fi spots around town. Staff is NO help and no one else seems to have any problems. Very disappointed too because this is closest spot to my home.

Lovely place to sit and surf on a hot summers day. Friendly staff, food from the Schnitz, fair trade coffee and free reliable internet.

good place for coffee

Staff is not helpful but nice coffee, cheap, free, fast and easy wireless. Several coffee products from around the globe. You notice diverse community in this relatively small and nice coffee house. Specially, you will have Ethiopians in this coffee house everyday in the morning and evening.

Common Ground is a welcoming place with a warm atmosphere, the clerk I talked to had all the information at his fingertips and did not make fun of someone who had never been to a coffee internet house. The internet feed only went down once in 3 hours and was promptly reset. The coffee was excellent and the sandwich was hot and tasty. All in all an excellent experience. Rex
