Common Ground Coffee House Review

Great local breakfast spot with waterfront views. Breakfast items were savory and good. They do offer lots of bakery items too.

Great place for coffee, quiches, and pastry delights!

Amazing Iced Chai lattes and quiche! So yummy and fair priced. Cute atmosphere with a perfect outdoor patio. They are taking COVID seriously and made us feel very comfortable and safe. Will definitely be back :)!

Baked goods are nice. Overpriced. Barista not friendly. Felt like it was an imposition to want food.

Smooth coffee and the ham and green onion quiche was GREAT!!

Great local coffee shop! Nice place to lounge and relax while sitting near the waterfront in Downtown Beaufort!

Ordered a plain triple cappuccino and was disgusted by the lack of care by the Barista the espresso was terribly bitter because the shot was not even tamped. not to mention the milk was horribly textured seemed like the barista had never been taught how to make a proper cappuccino. What i got was a couple of bitter shots of espresso with enough hot milk to make 2 lattes i was not impressed, and would advise if you enjoy espresso to avoid this place

Great food and coffee selection right at the water front

We stopped in after finishing Janet's Walking History Tour for a coffee and little something from their bakery. We got a cold brew and the tomato pie with bacon. Wow was it great! The line was LONG because it was a beautiful Saturday afternoon but they were moving so fast and the wait was not bad whatsoever. We will definitely be back!

Chose to support a local establishment instead of going to a chain coffee shop for my regular morning cup o joe, while in the area on business. Had I known there were free refills on the drip coffee, I would've stayed longer and probably had breakfast before leaving, too. Will definitely return next time I'm in town.

Pretty pricey, staff was helpful, delish and beautiful gelato/desserts, great views.

Really nice little coffee shop with a few good tables and lots of electrical outlets (and free wifi)

Not the most impressive cafe I've been in, but certainly earned its keep with good service, decent coffee, and tasty gelato. Plenty of seating options made it a great place to hangout before exploring town.

Great coffee and their baked goods are delicious. It's a nice cozy spot to chill.

Beautiful spot but the mocha latte tasted like they left out the espresso, more like hot chocolate than latte. Macchiatto was bitter.

Atmosphere was good and the water front location was pretty. Their latte s were okay and the peach scone was tasty. The tomato pie was delicious but one of them was not heated through as the inside was cold. A little on the pricey side for what you get. The employee was polite but who we believe was the manager was short and unfriendly to someone with a mask exemption.

Came during winter so didn't fully get to enjoy the park and bay view just outside, but it's still a really nice, cozy stop. Friendly, friendly people here. I'm a coffee nerd with high expectations, so the brew - to me - was just okay. I understand this isn't a craft spot... yet its definitely far better than Starbucks. I would surely return on my next visit. It's charming here.

A good local coffee stop with a wide selection of baked goods and coffee drinks. The staff is friendly and they know their stuff.

We tried the frozen cookies & cream and hot Turtle...wow amazing! Love this coffee!

Terrific Gelato, great coffee, good good and service!

Horrible frozen coffee... Made with flavored powder.

Coffee was great. The shot in the dark was just what I was looking for.

Great for pastries, coffee, ice cream, and friends!

Best Gelato I've ever had. The Cherry Truffle and Dark Chocolate is incredible. Great coffee and espresso too. Love this place

Love their coffee! Tried their lavender latte, very well done! Great spot to stop by in Beaufort. Friendly staff!

The best tomato pie!!! Twenty five teachers from my school descended on them at 7:00am and they served us all without complaining. I ll go back!

Nice quiet location to get lunch and coffee. Very friendly staff and great service!

Hot chocolate is the best...especially when get the chocolate whip on top.

Sandwiches are really good but they need to be a bit more generous with their ice cream. My one scoop of ice cream in a waffle cone looked very sad and lonely.

Best coffee shop ever !! Traveling threw and stopped for the most amazing coffee and service was excellent with a unforgetable smile ... deff will visit again

This is a great local coffee shop the friendly staff makes one feel right at home.I am here almost daily for coffee and or lunch.

Took one star off for service. They get backed up and aren't very efficient in dealing with crowds. That said, their gelato is lovely! I hear the coffee is good too. One day, I must try.

Customized my drink order without any problem. The barista pulled great tasting espresso shots.

Great place to relax and have a coffee while visiting Beaufort. One of the best coffee shops I've ever visited.

What a cute coffee shop with fantastic coffee and cozy spots to relax, enjoy your coffee and one of many tasty items on the menu!

I'm sorry to say this but I can only give this place 3 out of 5 stars. It is not because of the food or location all that is great. It is the price hike that has drop it down. I am on a limited budget so my money is tight. But I do treat myself once in awhile. Now it looks like it is only going to be a mug of coffee. Do not get me wrong this is a great place, this is not Hilton Head so why do we now have tourist prices.

Wonderful coffee and even better bacon egg and cheese biscut!

Courteous service with genuine kindness, great coffee, tasty treats, and a view of the waterfront make this a wonderful spot for java-lovers visiting Lady's Island. Clean and cozy, it's perfect for a solitary wanderer, smitten couples, and growing families. Liketo read? They've got a selection of books. Want to play a game? You'll find a few here as well. Each time I visit, I find another reason to return.

My daughter loves this coffee shop so much she wanted to have her birthday here. The chai tea is AMAZING and the potato soup is to die for. I would recommend this place to everybody.

Great service and a nice drink....I ordered an iced latte....better than Starbucks for sure...all done with that wonderful southern charm

The ladies there were so friendly. This was our first time there and asked a bunch of questions. We ended up going back for a smoothie later on. Sugar free coffee options also available.

Great coffee and friendly staff. Cute shop with local art and quirky coffee kitch hung on the walls. Took a stroll on the waterfront after getting coffee. It made for a perfect way to start the day! They have a variety of pastries but we weren't hungry. Will try them on our next visit

Lovely little coffee shop on the riverfront. Had an espresso macchiato, my sister had a late. Both were tasty. I'm picky about my coffee and approve of both the beans and the skill of the barista! The pastries all look tasty, the blueberry muffin was good. They also have a nice breakfast and lunch menu. Plenty of seating inside while still being cozy and a nice al fresco patio is available with a good view of the river.

A great coffee shop, with plenty of great options, and choices. Along with some of the best barista's around!

Love the atmosphere. Cozy, amicable place. Great service. The mozzarella panini was good, just need it a little more time on the grill getting a little more time for the cheese coldness to go away, great sauce. An aoili, or pesto would be amazing on it. Tiramisu gelato was mmmmm amazing. First ever experience and hoping to keep getting great ones.

I absolutely love this place. Friendly staff and great coffee. Put this place on the top of your list of places to visit in Beaufort!

Their dirty chai is my absolute favorite when we visit!

Great little place. You can get your cup of gelato, go find a swing, and look at the boats. How perfect is that?

Got the vanilla gelato and played checkers with my girlfriend. We split the half pint because it's a better deal. The coffee is a good value because its unlimited and you have a choice of 3 varieties. Cream and sugar are also easily accessible and unlimited as well. Nice outdoor seating and board games to keep you entertained. Downtown on the water provides a nice view while enjoying gelato and coffee.

Loved the atmosphere and location. The tomato pie was AMAZING, but gotta take one star off for the quiche. It lacked flavor and was not fluffy (because it was stuffed with potatoes). I'd absolutely come back, and this place is worth the visit; just avoid the quiche.

This is a pretty typical little coffee shop. They have all the usual mixed coffee drinks, as well as a few basic sandwiches, and a nice selection of sweets. It's right on the 'beach' and right outside the park.

The drinks we had were well made (iced Chai), and not too expensive. Would go again.

Stumbled into this place during the Water Festival, it is amazing. Delicious house made meals and deserts, service is excellent. It's unbelievable that this cafe doesn't have a line stretching down the street, there's even a great view of the waterfront.

Good coffee and food. Great place to come and get a drink and relax.

The wait is always ridiculous so they should work on that but their products are good.

The coffee here was so good. I'm not even a coffee drinker but I really loved it. And the service was very fast. There were probably 15 people in line but Dee had a smile on her face and got through everyone so quickly despite being totally swamped.

Awesome picking. Had to venture out a bit but all in all excellent product.

Came here to grab a quick bite before a friend's wedding. Got an iced mocha latte and the turkey and pesto panini. Amazing food, wonderful atmosphere and lovely people. A little pricy but well worth it!

Fantastic friendly service and great coffee. I've tried a number of the pastries and desserts, and the only one that didn't impress me was the crumb cake. The Rugala is good, and so are the muffins. And again, can't beat the coffee/espresso.

Once you've got your coffee, if you don't like being stuck indoors, there's a nice porch, or you can walk along the riverfront. Nothing better than sitting in the swinging benches out on the riverfront, enjoying a mocha and the great view.

Great coffee, food, and baked goods in a cozy atmosphere!

Coffee and pastries are okay. We come for the really nice view of the water.

Great for a morning coffee, quick bite for lunch, or to satisfy your sweet tooth! When the weather is nice, I enjoy sitting out on the patio with my dogs and sipping on a German chocolate mocha while I study. The beautiful waterfront views aren't too bad either!

They claim on their website to have updated the kitchen in 2006 so they could have house made food ready on demand whenever but their Baker is never there so unless you order a sandwich from my experience it s a 1 in 5 shot at getting something you really want :/. On the upside when you can get it it s good and some of the only reasonably priced food in town. But like I said it s only happened one out of the 5 times I ve been there in the last 3 weeks which is very disappointing.

Great place for a bite to eat, gelato or coffee. Indoor and outdoor sitting. Home made buttermilk biscuits, chicken pot pie. Yummy coffees. Winner!

It s the perfect place to drop a few holiday pounds because they serve the smallest scoops of gelato in the whole wide world.
