Sterling SandersMarch 31, 2015I like the snickers mocha, reminds me of Washington State coffee shop flavors. I'm usually at Starbucks but come to coffee shops like this one for a taste of something different.☺️
nova naomiJuly 23, 2018I forget the coffee name that i order but they have good selection of coffee. Highly recommended especially ice coffee
Steve-OAugust 3, 2014Oh freaking yeah. Iced No Bull is the Coffee Champeen of Da World! Considering moving to Waco just to live closer to this place.
Cam EJuly 6, 2015Love this place! It's so shabby chic and comfy cute! It has an Austin feel and the drinks are amazing!!!
Jeremy RinardAugust 30, 2012I'm not a coffee drinker, but they have a great selection of teas. The list is at the register on a table topper, if you can't find it, just ask!
Good coffee shared all around with cozy chairs and common people!
Bernadette Gracia LamOctober 16, 2017The coffee is good! Lots of choices for a picky coffee drinker. Not too acidic, too.
Social News NetworkOctober 26, 2013Common Grounds is the place to be in Waco if you're looking for good coffee, a cool environment, and even better live music.
They offer Chemex and French Press if you ask for it. Also, stick to the Cuvée coffee (in the blue bags). It's awesome and super fresh.- Shelby PipkenOctober 26, 2012Perfect place to study, catch up with friends, and enjoy great coffee! The Cowboy Coffee's are my favorite.
Riley LFebruary 1, 2015Get the Cowboy three times a day. And don't be afraid to try the flavored coffee type
Jan MatiasApril 28, 2018The atmosphere screams “trendy college life”. Cool place to chill or tackle some school work.
Adam GieseNovember 1, 2014I am a coffee person, but I love the James Callahan! Similar to an Arnold Palmer, but tarter.
Get the Caballero when it's cold out and get a Cowboy when it's hot. Both are awesome.
Katy ThompsonJanuary 16, 2016Great atmosphere, if you aren't into coffee, they have great hot chocolate.
Shannon GomezMarch 11, 2013Our favorite coffee shop in Waco! Love the atmosphere, the employees, and the music stage!
Mary!February 4, 2012Catch a mean cup o' joe while studying for finals or catch a live act. Find out why all the Baylor students love this place.
Real Geek DadMarch 9, 2013Try the Mexican Hot Chocolate - The perfect complement to studying on a chilly, cloudy day.
Jennifer KimberlinMarch 19, 2012If you ever get a chance, catch a show out back. Intimate patio setting, gracious hosts.
- Christlynn HendersonSeptember 23, 2013Rock n Roll is the absolute best - especially for people who don't like coffee...
Alisha HessFebruary 10, 2017Coffee was okay. Also parking is a nightmare! If you don't watch where you park you'll get towed.
- The iced No Bull is such an underrated drink. The medium is $4.11 with tax but it is so worth it
Matt HellmanSeptember 21, 2010Go here and order a Californiacation... good special not on menu... they may not do it anymore but if so its amazing
Rachel SimonsDecember 7, 2010You should try the summers sparkler! It's kinda a fruity taste and it's the bomb.com
On Mondays, get a large Rodeo Clown with the Coconut Crème coffee. It will rock your world.
Go to Common Grounds and order the Sex, Drugs, And Rock and Roll and look like a B.A. because the drink isn't on the menu.
