Editorial Review for Common Grounds Coffee House – by Citysearch Editors

In Short
Customers run in for quick espressos or drift through the door with an eye toward the over-stuffed furniture. With a take-your-time atmosphere, this is a cheerful, airy place that's as soothing as the coffee is strong. Big mugs are filled with rich Caffe Umbria coffee. Members of the tea generation can choose from a wide selection, and baked goods hail from some of Portland's best bakeries. Customers looking for something heartier will find panini and homemade soup.

User Reviews for Common Grounds Coffee House

4 Star Rating: Recommended

A great selection of well-prepared and varied beverages in a warm, comfortable, if somewhat small cafe atmosphere. The gallery art varies in its worthiness, but there's always a full selection of reading material. Big picture windows make for great Upper Hawthorne people-watching. Food items are on the pricy end for the amount you get (expect to drop at least $10 if you're getting more than one drink), but are reliably tasty. A medium-sized selection of pastries come from the Pearl Bakery, and Voodoo Doughnuts have recently been added. Rush hour can be crowded, but economic table organization means you won't be left standing. Overall, a nice little place to cool your heels, drink a mug of something spicy, and watch the neighborhood go by.

Pros: Great Drinks, Pleasant Atmosphere, Tasty Food

Cons: A Little Pricey

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended
