October 17, 2018This is one of those places you have to visit if you come to Waco. It has the most cozy interior, lots of places to study, read, or just relax, and of course the drinks are great. Such a great college atmosphere, and the backyard area is an awesome space as well! You also have to visit Heritage Creamery next door if you are in the area!

October 13, 2018Such a neat space! Very cozy and welcoming. They guy that took my order was super nice and had no trouble explaining and recommending coffee to me. I ended up getting a No Bull, with 1/3 of the sweetener (I don’t like super sweet coffee) - it is super good!! I would definitely recommend stopping here: good coffee, good vibes. They have a great outdoor space to enjoy your coffee. ðŸ‘ðŸ»

August 24, 2018My husband and I always love to visit Common Grounds while visiting Waco. I don't drink coffee but order a chai tea. This time when I asked for a cold but no ice chai, they served a drink that was only 2/3 full. When I asked for it to be filled to the top, they said they couldn't due to prices. I do not ask for no ice just so I can get more; too much ice waters it down, and then I cannot drink it. I have had to throw many water-downed drinks away. No other place does that including Starbucks. I think it's pretty chintzy.

July 8, 2018Everytime I am in Waco, I go to Common Grounds. Coffee and service are always consistent. A wide variety of hot and cold drinks. Of course you can have milk in your coffee. They also have almond and oat milk. If you've never tried Oat milk, you just gotta! Stop by today and check out Common Grounds.

July 2, 2018While staying in Waco, we visited the renowned coffee house, Common Grounds. It’s located just off the Baylor University campus. Since classes were still in session, the coffee house, unsurprisingly, was filled with students studying while enjoying their favorite beverages.We had Common Grounds’ signature beverage – Cowboy Coffee. Since it was very warm that afternoon, we had the coffee iced. It was very nice, slightly sweet with an unusual flavor in the background. If you’re in Waco and looking for something different for your coffee, give Common Grounds a try.

May 3, 2018Amazing coffee and incredible atmosphere. A truly unique space that any traveler must stop by when visiting Waco. Light background music allows for quiet conversation or getting work done. Outdoor and semi-outdoor seating available for getting fresh air on a nice day.
