Common Ground

Great spot for brunch or coffee! Very chilled atmosphere and friendly staff! The food was very tasty! Had a nice spicy toastie and also a brownie dulce deleche! Omg!!! Heavenly taste!! So moist inside!! Loved it!!

Went here for brunch with a friend and was very busy but the service and atmosphere was amazing! Didn’t take too long to get seated and I had the Turkish eggs. Could’ve been spicier in my opinion but still a good bit of scran and the coffee is too good (I even bought some beans afterwards)

Common Ground is a fantastic local café that has become a neighborhood favorite for good reason. It’s a warm, welcoming spot with a relaxed vibe, making it a great place to start the day or enjoy a mid-afternoon coffee break. One of the highlights here is their vegetarian breakfast, which is excellent—well thought out, flavorful, and satisfying, even for non-vegetarians. If you’re looking for a classic fry-up with bacon and sausages, though, this isn’t the place, as they don’t serve meat. But if you’re open to plant-based options, you won’t be disappointed. Their coffee is very good, with well-pulled espresso shots and perfectly textured milk, making it a reliable go-to for caffeine lovers. The cakes, on the other hand, can be a little hit or miss. Some are excellent, while others don’t quite hit the mark, so it might take a bit of trial and error to find your favorite. Beyond the food and drinks, what really makes Common Ground stand out is the friendly and attentive staff. They create a welcoming atmosphere and always seem happy to be there, which makes a big difference in the overall experience. Whether you’re after a leisurely breakfast, a quick coffee, or a cozy place to work for a while, Common Ground delivers. It’s a great spot for anyone who enjoys quality vegetarian food and a well-made cup of coffee in a laid-back setting. Definitely worth a visit!

Great vibe on a weekend - it's the place to be! Perfect for brunch, definitely go for the brunch food over the light mains

Came for brunch with friends this weekend. It was divine in the sun and the food was lovely. I think our favourite thing was the delicious cold brew, just what we needed on a sleepy, sticky Sunday morning. Would recommend everything we had, particularly the Latke. Will definitely make a point of bringing my vegan friends too - rare to be in a place that makes avoid meat products feel like no big deal. It’s a shame the waitress in the coral lipstick was so rude when we arrived or it would have been a perfect experience. The day was saved by Ben though - a waiter that made the experience feel like being round at an attentive old friend’s place, where no request is too cheeky and you are always welcome - whatever your latest dietary restrictions are.

Lovely place, the food is amazing and the people are so nice. Fast as well. Would 100% recommend. We had the Turkish eggs and the cinnamon rol.

great brunch place! Loads of vegetarian options, as well as very tasty. It is screen free cafe! and they get very busy

Can't wait to come back here, maybe on a week day though. We just visited Common Ground today (a Saturday). It was buzzing, with a great atmosphere. There was a wait, however, around 15 minutes at the door, and about another 15 to be served once seated. Honestly though, the staff were lovely, and being very attentive considering the obvious work load they were dealing with, so I can't complain. The wait was well worth it when the food arrived. I had the French Toast and it’s maybe the best French Toast I've had in the city. The whole menu is pretty awesome though with some really unique options. The decor’s trendy, the vibe is warm ‘n friendly, and the general facilities seemed clean and well-maintained. Much to love, a solid recommendation from me.
