Common Grounds Coffee House & Desserts

If you're ever down town in the peak of good living, would recommend supporting local and giving this coffee shop a go. Based on the foot traffic it seems to be a staple when visiting the assorted mom and pop shops that compose downtown. We decided to try a hot and cold beverage and a baked good. Everything was of high quality and would order again. The mocha had the perfect amount of sweetness. It did appear that the shop offered ice cream or gelato as well if you're looking for something for the kids or to quell the heat on (a soon impending) summer's day.Our order was out in no time, but we did get to enjoy the myriad knickknacks adorning the walls of the shop. These were a delightful diversion while we waited on our handcrafted covfefe. We ultimately decided to take our coffee on the go and enjoy the rest of downtown. Highly recommend.

Came here to grab an early morning coffee and was generally happy with the experience. First, there's a public parking lot right across the street - no idea if it gets super busy later in the day, but it had plenty of spots in the AM. The shop had a bunch of interesting merch for sale, so that was pretty entertaining to check out while drinking our coffee. We ended up buying a mug and it was reasonably priced.Our lattes weren't bad! Nothing extraordinary but they were prepared quickly and tasted fine. I would definitely come back here if I was back in Apex and needed some caffeine :)

Delicious! I love the stores theme, the mugs, the clocks. My bestie & I wanted to try every single latte, there were so many that sounded absolutely delicious! I chose a lavender latte, which was paired perfectly with wheat tasted like an African roast espresso blend: GOODT! Bestie had a beet latte she finished it so fast! Soooo good! Everyone was very friendly, and offered us details on so many of the things they had to offer. A sizable seating area as well! I plan to go back & try a different latte every time

We went here the morning of my friend's wedding and it was a fantastic way to start the day! The drinks and pastries were very yummy and extremely well priced. The staff was very friendly and provided recommendations when asked.The vibe of the space was very cozy and provided plenty of seating options for groups of all sizes. There was 5 of us and we had no problem finding a table. Will go back if I am ever in the area again!

We tried their espresso, a scone and a muffin. The espresso was overtly bitter. The muffin okay and the scone was more or less a muffin that was baked without a muffin pan.Scones, if you're going to make them as they are supposed to be, are not moist like a muffin but not dry either and they shouldn't be airy. A scone is crumbly, dense (in relation to a muffin) and not served microwaved. I did like the whole beans we purchased for brewing cappuccino at home. This is where they went from one star to three. It brewed well, nice créma, balanced flavor and subtle notes of chocolate and caramel.

Came on a Sunday morning, very busy but service was quick! Great coffee here. Plenty of seating for those who want to sit and enjoy their coffee. I got an almond milk latte with half the amaretto syrup (perfection) my friend got the mocha latte with amaretto and a blueberry cheese danish which she said was delicious! Highly recommend.

My boyfriend and I stopped here for breakfast on Sunday morning because we were in the area and because of the excellent reviews. It was really busy and we got one of the last tables. We placed our order for two dark roast coffees with room for cream and two bagels; plain and everything, double toasted with cream cheese. The coffee house is cute with unique mugs and clocks used as decorations, but are also available for purchase. We got our bagels and were disappointed that they came out of a bag, similar to Thomas or Lenders. I only ate half of mine because it wasn't worth the calories. It was getting really busy and people were piling in practically on top of us. It was very uncomfortable. The coffee was really good, so if we returned it would be only for their coffee to go. They also carry Ryze mushroom coffee which I thought was cool.

Place is really cute and the staff are friendly. I got the white lavender latte with oat milk and my boyfriend got an iced golden milk latte. The coffee was good but didn't wow me. It's pretty average.

Love the mugs for sale. I would buy all of them. Free wifi. Indoor and outdoor seating. Pastries are available. Good coffee. Nice place to meet friends.
