My bestie took me here because this is her fave coffee shop in Davis. If I lived there too, it’d probably be my fave!Literally so many options for amazing sounding drinks. Lots of milk alternatives to choose from too.I got the Aztec Mocha as a frappe and it legit tasted like Mexican hot chocolate. So good.They have a points system where you can earn rewards. The indoor and outdoor seating are very nice too!

They have a lavender vanilla latte that is yummy. They are a bit over priced, my almond milk lavender latte was $6.66. However, they are very friendly and attentive. They have indoor and outdoor seating. They can get very crowded when the students are around but in summer it is spacious and quiet.

Great service and fast. They have 2 breakfast sandwiches and 2 breakfast burritos(organic)! Great place to stop by for coffee and smoothies too!

Wonderful little shop, great coffee and great atmosphere! I got the lavender vanilla latte (iced) and i highly recommend it!

The owner really needs to have 3 people on when its a busier shift. The servers were doing the best they could but you could tell how poorly set up they were for a rush, which is frustrating as a customer (and former barista). Also the Chile Verde burrito was ridiculously wet 🤨 it left a puddle in my lapI would love to come back here and have a better experience because the vibe and the food were otherwise great.

They make great frappe drinks and have friendly baristas.

The drinks are awesome, you can taste the quality. The staff is always so friendly and awesome too!

Lovely coffee shop with friendly staff. Great place to read or do some laptop work. Nice outdoor patio with shade umbrellas. So much better than the chains.

Great coffee and service. Love the outdoor patio space

Stopped by for a cold peach ice-tea and lemon scone .

Great espresso, great service, nice atmosphere.

Great staff and coffee

The seating and atmosphere are great 😊

So lucky to have this coffee shop so close to home and not much of a detour of my path to town! The barrister has perfected my soy flat white - even if he has to call it a soy cappuccino. 😏

I just moved away Davis and one of the reasons Im so sad is because of Common Grounds. The cold brew was hands down the best Ive had, beating Temple or any of the other fancier places in the area (in my opinion, obviously; I prefer low-acidity coffee where you almost feel like youre drinking the grounds). There is a lot of seating, including couches and comfy chairs which I love. The people are all super nice, and its a good place to do work because its not overwhelmingly loud.

Good place to study. Nice coffee, good treats, vegan options

Friendly people, they are dog-friendly business, patio available for sipping coffee with pet.

Came here daily for awesome coffee and the best work cafe I’ve ever been too. Kinda wanna move to Davis just to come back here.

Clean. Plenty of seating. Great for students getting their caffeine fix and a place to focus on studying. Staff are polite and have a smile. Doesnt seem anywhere as rushed as Starbucks typically is. Support the small businesses and not the chain stores!

Good coffeeIt sometimes gets very crowded and you cant get a seat

The music played is great. The prices are the same like Starbucks. The people hanging there are very nice. The service Id GREAT. I recommend anyone living in Davis to go grab a coffee there and a snack there...

Wonderful coffee and atmosphere! Tuxedo Mocha FTW

Great local coffee shop to start my day. Coffee is good, pastries are good. Only 4 star because of a very mediocre berry muffin experience one day. Its my regular place - better than Starbucks.

Very quiet and easy to concentrate on my work. The coffee is good. There are comfortable padded chairs as well as wooden straight back chairs. The background music makes it easier to ignore others conversation.

Great coffee, wonderful atmosphere and the prices were very reasonable

My favorite Coffee place.I love getting my LattePrepared exactly how I like it

Great, comfortable coffee shop. Lots of comfortable seats. Open to students. Lots of outlets for laptops. Lots of parking.

Polite people quick service and plenty of seating. They make a mean spicy chai too. Nice place to get some work done.

Great local coffee shop with nice staff and a clean and spacious area to sip your coffee and read. Outdoor seating is available as well. Seems very popular with the UC Davis students I am assuming because looking around I appeared to be the only person over 40 and not studying the newst theories on genetics, physics, or calculs. Still a nice place to spend some time and support a local business.

I love this place, been going here for years. Super nice couple who own it, employees are friendly and knowledgeable.

Always great!

Very nice wet cappuccino. Foam texture was on pointe and espresso was pulled perfectly. Id recommend.

Great vibe at this coffee house. Nice staff, excellent iced americano. Fresh-baked treats.

Good atmosphere, nice staff. The music is too loud and obnoxious for me though.

This coffee shop is great in every way. The atmosphere matches that of a normal coffee shop, and the music varies with time but isnt too loud/intrusive (though Id personally prefer to have it a little quieter still). The place has cushioned seats that arent usually all taken up and the wifi works well, and there are plenty of outlets too, though they arent as well distributed as one would like. It also has two areas to eat and an extra one outside so you can go to a more social or more work-oriented environment. It has nice restrooms and is quite clean, the menu is large and delicious with some unique drinks as well. It also has a board game or a few if I remember correctly. The service is satisfactory and quite prompt, though there isnt a convenient area to stand/sit while youre awaiting your order to be filled, and the entire place is generally in the mid-tier of cleanliness.So in general Id definitely recommend this place and its my favorite study place in Davis atm.

Greatv service and awesome coffe.

Great people. Great coffee. They gave me an extra scone for free!☕💛

Sun, Michelle and all the employees are always so welcoming here! They have a variety of products that they offer from sweets to coffee and even Jimmy Dean breakfast sandwiches! They also offer free wifi. If you have trouble connecting to the wifi, the employees there would always be more than happy to help you out! Great vibes, LOVE this place!

Sun is the man! This place has been incredibly friendly for years!

Comfortable and homey coffee shop with plenty of seating, good drinks, and wifi.

I often come here to get a change of scenery on days when Im working from home. Good coffee and treats, reliable internet, lots of comfortable furniture.

Great coffee and excellent service. Highly recommended.

The baristas are friendly, and the atmosphere is relaxed. A great place to hang out with friends.

Great friendly serviceCall me old fashion, but $8+ for s joy chocolate and a cookie is really over priced to me

Just a small place for coffee nothing special

Love this place. Good selection of vegan treats! Lots of plugs and free WiFi.

Friendly staff and the best soy mocha Ive ever tasted!

The peach / black iced tea was a surprising treat!

Good coffee, good seating, free wifi. Whats not to like

Common Grounds is far and away the best coffee in Davis and the owner is very affable, as are the staff!

Great place. Everyone is nice, coffee is good, and they have decent pastries.

Excellent lattes as nd super nice barista!]

Lovely spot. Good coffee, lots of seating and nice snacks and pastries.

Plenty of seating in various forms (chairs, couches, stools, inside, outside...), with very welcoming staff. Wifi internet is free but you need to create a free account to log in.Drip coffee in the afternoon tends to be lukewarm.

The best coffee in Davis - hands down.

Best coffee shop in Davis. Coffee and tea taste fresh, and the environment is roomy and inviting. My only complaint is the stupid instaconnect rubbish WiFi which you have to pay for to use. Would rate 5 stars if they had their own WiFi.

Very nice study atmosphere, many College Students and business people. Free Wi-Fi, Good service, although I got lukewarm decaffeinated coffee twice, I still return

One of the best hands down ☕️

Exceptionally warm & friendly place.

The music is loud and obnoxious. Otherwise, great place.

Great independently owned coffee shop!

Open late, great coffee. What else is there to say?

Friendly and nice staffs.

Small cafe with nice atmosphere.

Great drinks and food, lots of seating and plenty of outlets.
