Common Grounds Uncommon Coffee

Featuring a minimalist and cool coffee counter, this place is well-suited for coffee lovers. Inside the Five Houston Center building on the 3rd floor, the location is a bit hidden but worth the find. The surroundings are clean and modern, contributing to a pleasant seating experience. While the seating area is spacious and nice, it is not particularly cozy but functional and conducive for breaks and work.

Coffee enthusiasts can enjoy high-quality drinks such as pour overs, lattes, cappuccinos, and flat whites. Signature drinks like the Cinnamon Toast Crunch Latte and Honey Latte stand out for their unique flavor profiles. Other mentions include the Lavender Latte, appreciated for its unparalleled taste. The baristas are friendly and take pride in their craft, creating beverages that many find superior to chain offerings.

The café provides a comfortable space to work, with ample seating making it a suitable spot for remote workers and laptop users. Tunes playing on a typical weekday afternoon add to the vibrant atmosphere.

Aside from coffee, there are savory snacks and non-dairy milk options to cater to different dietary restrictions. Although the café can get busy during lunch hours, particularly on weekdays, it remains a reliable spot for a quick coffee fix or an extended work session.
