Common Ground Cafe Cooperative

Amazing bagel sandwich with crisp bacon and a perfectly cooked egg with a jammy yolk. Iced coffee was fine but unmemorable. S’mores cookie is a 10/10. One star knocked off because it’s very a cramped space and layout, but understood given the building.

Even though a small cafe, their food sets it off in a big way. The menu consists of breakfast, sandwiches, smoothies and chilled coffee drinks. My visit my party and i chose sandwiches and they did not disappoint. Their very unique sandwich names like The Elm, the Falls and the BLT was delish. Smoothies were good too!! Service was quick, and you had the choice of indoor or outdoor dining. If in the area, try them out.

Not only my favorite café in Baltimore but my favorite café anywhere. The lattes are amazing and the staff are always friendly. They also have an incredible selection of pastries (the cruffins are life changing) and their sausage egg and cheese is amazing (my North-Jersey-raised girlfriend says they’re the best she’s found in Maryland in the three years she’s been here) Large patio so you can sit outside on nice days and people watch. Cozy interior with local art that you can buy. What’s not to love?

It is okay in my opinion. Nothing really unique. Typical college cafe. I had a matcha latte and cupcake. It was one of the worst matcha latte I have ever had. Other than it was green, there was nothing in the drink that shows it has matcha in it. The taste was just milk with barely any scent of matcha. Cupcake was good. Very sweet and chocolaty, but I kinda expected that. Cupcake was 5 dollars, and matcha latte was just a little less than 5 dollars. Vibe is pretty casual. They have a sofa to give a little cozy relaxing vibe. There is also an outdoor patio. I don't think I will come here for matcha latte, but maybe they are better at coffee and other pastries.

Common ground is absolutely fire and it’s no secret. I was so sad when they temporarily closed because I had a muffin shaped hole in my heart, but now they’re back and better than ever. Can get pretty crowded on a weekend because everybody wants a piece of the action so I like to come on weekday mornings before work. 10/10 PS bring back the black bottom brownie it was so good

Some questionable folks falling out around but hey that's everywhere lately in the city unfortunately but a bit distracted while eating with a friend. Would love to visit again. The food was great and so was the sweet tea!

Wonderful little co-op with great service and very kind employees. Their matcha lemonade was delicious, and their sandwiches are lovely. Lots of indoor and outdoor seating. Love the local art for sale and the free little library inside too.

Wonderful coop cafe! Egg & cheese bagel was sooo tasty & fresh. Coffee & service were great. Enjoyed the vibe, worked at one of the tables for a while with light chatter around & artwork on the walls. Perfect neighborhood coffee shop. Edit: came here to add that all of their food & drinks are tasty & made with flavorful, fresh ingredients. Seasonal lavender lemonade (with thyme if I remember correctly?) was divine!
