Common Grounds Uncommon Coffee

Bright, warm, modern coffee shop on the third floor of an office building. It's a lovely space and you can sit anywhere in the large Lobby to enjoy your coffee and do coworking if needed. Plenty of electrical outlets for your PC, and relatively quiet. The coffee is a little bit pricey but it is basically downtown and so it is what I would expect. The service is excellent.

The greatest discovery of all time. Especially when I'm running late In the mornings and can't make coffee at home. Perched in the Houston Five Center building on McKinney, it's in the Fulbright tower and a perfect place to mingle or grab a cup of joe on the run. Staff are super friendly and you're looking at paying for trendy craft coffee...so don't be alarmed when you pay for your Sea Salt Coconut latte with that milk sub. :) Love the vibes and it really brings a more modern feel to the overall vibe of the building.

A great spot to grab a morning coffee at the Houston Center area in Downtown. Staff is very friendly and quick with their service. Since it's located in an office building, they usually close after lunch hours. It's located in the 5 Houston Center building. You can access the building through the sky bridge so it's pretty convenience. You can also find parking in the connected garage and go to the third floor which is the lobby of the building. This coffee shop will be down on your right. I'm glad I work in the building so it's just a quick trip down for coffee or breakfast. My two favorite items are the hot matcha latte and the avocado toast. Avocado toast was delish and portion was pretty big.

For the coffee aficionados, this would be a good place. Great gear- top of the line espresso machine, pour over kits, six Chemex glassware ready to go for the larger parties, excellent single origin and blends, artisan pastries, etc- w the baristas to match. Knowledgeably executing all the right things- excellent shot pulls, milk foam consistency, latte Art- you can't really go wrong. Highly recommend. Please keep in mind the sense of coffee snobbery from which I write. If you're already thinking Frappuccino and some sort of god forsaken concoction w whip cream, please keep 'er movin' and go directly to Starbucks for that diabetes and burnt rubber taste. Coffee should not a torture memetic be.

Very cute coffee shop- good coffee and the breakfast casserole was great. This shop was right on our way to a meeting and parking was easy. I would go back if ever in the area again.

OMG... I literally had the best bowl of oatmeal I have ever had in my life! It was so flavorful. And the blend of fruit, nuts, and brown sugar was delish! I accompanied it with a Cinnamon Toast Crunch latte and it tasted just like the milk after you eat all of the cereal with a bold punch. The baristas were pleasant and appeared to enjoy themselves. So glad I found this place.*it's on the second floor by the way. If you look up you can see the area it is in from the lobby. Take the elevator up to the second floor and head to the right once you exit the elevator bank.

Located on the 3rd floor lobby level of 5 Houston Center, this coffee shop supplied caffeine for many professionals working in the surrounding buildings through the dark age when Starbucks decided to close its original Houston Shops location during Covid. Price point is similar to other independent coffee shops in Houston, a lavender almond milk latte would cost you about $7. Plenty of seating in the building lobby and service is pretty good, however you will most likely be stuck in line behind all the corporate caffeine junkies.

Friendly service and great coffee. Took awhile to find the place. It's up on the third floor of an office building.

So my coworker and I stumbled upon this place. We normally go to Starbucks in the lyondell building but we tried this place and we're blown away! The sandwiches were amazing! Coffee great and the customer service was great! It's a hidden gem and I will be going back! The ambiance is also really calming and they also have good music playing!

I love this spot. Inspiring, creative, industrial vibe. Good coffee! Friendly service.
