Tasty pastries and great hot and cold drinks. Prices are very reasonable. They have indoor and outdoor seating that looks out over the harbor.

Very friendly and helpful staff. Clean and organized. Short wait

Beautiful view from the deck. No wifi network available--that was a bummer since I went there to get some work done. Staff was good, not overly friendly but attentive and hard-working.

I went here once 8 years ago and remember it being really good. Came back again today after 8 years and was still impressed! Good coffee, friendly staff, good atmosphere, and a beautiful view!

Good coffee drinks in a lovely atmosphere. Lots of cool antiques and art to look at. And, a great view of the harbor.

My wife loves this place they have her coffee waiting for when she arrives great people

Friendly service, but coffee is served in polystyrene (Styrofoam) cups. It is 2021. Coffee was decent. Nice patio looking out on the water.

Everything offered at Harborside is very good, but the best aspects of this place are the ambiance inside, and the great location.Besides the coffee and sandwiches, I like Harborside as a place to relax and read. It’s very laid-back!

Super cute place. Indoor and Outdoor seating. Doors were left open, bees and flies were everywhere. Definetly on the pricey side. Turkey swiss croissant was ok, spinach feta croissant was iffy and its warmed up in a microwave. Coffee was average. Spiced latte was good. Customer service was great tho!

Cute quaint and appearances similar to the friends theme. Kind of pricey but great coffee n sandwiches.

Nice view of the river to the lake, but the sandwiches are from a kids meal. Would be better to just walk along the park and eat somewhere else.

One of my favorite places to go. Always great service and a warm atmosphere. Plus, great prices!

I love coming here and enjoying a great cup of coffee and watching the water. Each day there is a different flavor of coffee to try. The atmosphere is wonderful and I love both the food and drink options. If you cant find me elsewhere, Im usually here.

Common grounds is a place where you can relax and read a book or work. Environment is quiet with a wonderful view of Lake Michigan. The coffee is good and the food is excellent. Staff is always friendly and helpful. Located downtown Kenosha. After you are done you can take a walk around the lake and enjoy the waterfront. You will not be disappointed. The environment is for all. Couples, families, singles, or business.

The coffee drinks were just ok, but the pastries and other snacks they have are great! Both times weve had the iced coffee/mocha they tasted a little off, decided to try a smoothie and it was awesome. Great place to hangout and relax.

I no longer live in the area, but Kenosha is my hometown. I’ve been going to this place since high school, and it never fails to disappoint. I have celiac disease, and their gluten free sandwiches are the best. Whenever I’m in town I try to get one, so good.

Its been here for 10 plus yrs so that says a lot. Nice little outdoor deck overlooking the harbor is prob the best spot in Kenosha for coffee and views. Bangin sandwiches too

This is the Frist place to stop in Kenosha, Wisconsin. The friendly staff and community members I met were so welcoming. I enjoyed local art on the wall and delicious soup and coffee. With an amazing view of a side of Lake Michigan Id never seen before. Its location puts u smack dab in the middle of cute shops and restaurants. Put this on your bucket list.

This was such a perfect place. Even when you’re “difficult” with gluten and dairy allergies, they still had plenty of tasty things!

I frequent this place often. They have a great friendly and eclectic atmosphere. The establishment is perfectly positioned by the water. This is a great place for meetings, coffee outings or a quiet read. Also, the coffee is soooo good!

Love this place! Great coffee, great snacks! Friendly service at an amazing location. Outdoor and indoor seating right on the lake front of Kenoshas harbor.

Pretty good coffee, staff couldve been friendlier

Set up in small intimate conversational areas, or if going solo, a comfy oversized chair the perfect place to catch up on social media or a good read. They make OUTSTANDING fresh sandwiches. Kosher deli meat, best rye bread ever with crisp veggies. Why don’t the sandwiches I make at home taste as good as theirs I often wonder.

Nice quaint coffee shop. Cant wait till it gets warmer out so I can go back and sit on the deck by the harbor. NI nice selection of coffee and teas. Also great sounding sandwiches and home made pastries. Priced reasonably also .

Oh you need to go! They have the best coffee around! We love to stop in for their “build your own sandwich!” They use the very best ingredients and you can pair it with one of their delicious soups too! They have the most beautiful setting that you will find in all of Kenosha! Right smack on Lake Michigan! Sit and sip as you watch the boats float along! This place is a must!

I can always count on Common Grounds for a relaxing place to get away from life’s daily grind. Set up in small intimate conversational areas, or if going solo, a comfy oversized chair the perfect place to catch up on social media or a good read. They make OUTSTANDING fresh sandwiches.

Great location. Awesome ambiance in the shop. About the coolest location I have ever been to. The coffee was decent. I would have awarded a rare five stars, but for one thing. The coffee comes in a styrofoam cup! For a nice place, that is ridiculous.

We love this coffee shop. its as old as time! Great harbor views good coffee and plenty to see and read. Lots of room.

Nice local coffee shop with a great view of the harbor. Plenty of seating. Confusion with staff though. Place closes at 7pm tonight. In my way to use the restroom I verified fast with the staff. Also asked them how late I could order a sandwich and the guy said until 6:30. I went into the restroom for 5 minutes. Came back out at 6pm and decided I’d order early. Went back to the counter and the other barista told me that they were done making sandwiches. If I would have known that I would have ordered 5 minutes earlier. Was trying to help out a local establishment but I guess not. Baristas should get their info straight.

Good coffee, lots of pastry items, blueberry scone was delicious and moist

Consistent quality sandwiches and coffee with a very nice view.

I got cherry pie and hot chocolate. I liked the hot chocolate more but it was all good. The view is amazing.

Great drinks, adorable ambiance, beautiful view but no wifi or air conditioning

Great coffee and friendly staff. Wonderful views of the harbor

I go there for the delicious green tea smoothies which are amazingly delicious

Food, tea, a view, and baristas who can recommend drinks. Good find

Common grounds has been the thing I find myself looking forward to during the work week. I think Ive tried almost every single variety of their homemade soups and their sandwiches hit the spot, too! But the star of the show is their coffee and espresso drinks. Every beverage Ive ordered has been made correctly and deliciously.

Literally like one of the only places in town to buy good coffee. Amazing staff as well.

Always the best food and drinks. The dairy free Chai tea latte is the best around!

My most visited place. Choose what you want on your sandwich. Different coffee every day and different soup every day.

Nice location overlooking Kenosha harbor. Good coffee:)

Quick stop on long bike ride, great views and outdoor seating. Good assortment of baked goods, bagels, scones, cookies, probars, and more barista to serve made to order drinks.

Amazing location on the lake. Cozy indoor seating ideal for reading a book or chatting with a friend.

Cute place with a nice atmosphere. Really expensive and mediocre coffee. Good place to visit with friends.

I just enjoyed a delicious turkey wrap for lunch. Fresh, delicious and fast! Thanks Bobbi.

Stopped by for the first time and I’ve lived in Kenosha for 3 years. Bought some “OK Karen” coffee. Coffee hasn’t made me morning #2 in a longggg time. Some really quality stuff! Nice employees and nice spot to sip and chat.

Good sandwiches. Good coffee.

Loved the venue and neat lighthouse view off the primary seating area. Also had neat local art that I personally enjoyed!

I had a cookies and cream frappichino type drink. It was quite good and high quality. The small cafe has hand sanitizer for all coming in, and great covid spacing markings. Will definitely visit again.

Baristas were pretty rude at 9:45am. No reason to tell me to hurry up when theres no one there. No greeting or anything. Maybe this place has changed post-COVID. Would not go back for a long time

Great place was so used to going to McDonalds for my coffee fix that when I went in I asked what do they have when it comes close to a Frappuccino and they said a Java I ended up ordering a cookies and cream Java so worth it, was so delicious I sat outside to drink it got to pet so many pets walking by and so many smiling faces walking by was a great morning and great place to sit down and enjoy your coffee

Delicious coffee, excelente view of the lake and great baristas.

Really good service and the patio with this beautiful day...perfect!

Delicious food & coffee! We had a chai latte, iced soy mocha, a raspberry croissant and a breakfast sandwich.

44% of kenosha is vaccinated, sign on door says that if you are vaccinated, they recommend wearing a mask...if you are not vaccinated it is required to wear a mask....employees and all customers in line had no masks on....Ill pass.

Great coffee, super nice staff

One of my favorite places to stop for a quick lunch. Great views and quick service. No frills kind of cute joint. Come for the coffee, stay for some board or card games at your table!

Good coffee and food. Nice atmosphere. Unfortunately, no wi-fi 😔

This has been my favorite local coffee shop for atleast a decade if not more. They have such consistent, delish coffee and food menu. My favorite is iced Chia Latte and a ham sammich on wheat. Killer view, the inside is elegant and quaint. There is a side specifically for adults and requires quieter activities. Outside seating when weather permits. Literally doesnt get any better than this place.

The perfect coffee shop. Whether you want a nice drink, a bite to eat or literally trying to escape 20 degree weather.

AWESOME everything - old building, great ambience, kitschy decor, lakefront location, nice variety & selection of hot & cold beverages, always good service. Whats not to love?

Favorite place for coffee in the area!

I go here once a week (at least!) for a spiced chai and a sandwich. Cute, cozy, and delicious. They have the best chai I’ve ever had, and the basil Parmesan bread is incredible.

Quiet on an early Monday morning. Friendly and efficient staff. Wonderful coffee and warmed muffin. Great view of Kenosha harbor. Nice way to start the day.

Love their coffee and service.

Great coffee and breakfast sandwiches...fun atmosphere...and AWESOME view !!!

Good food, service and atmosphere 👌

Beautiful location right on lake Michigan... common grounds rocks!

Excellent sandwich with a view of Lake Michigan

Tqsty local coffee joint. If youre on the east side of kenosha its much more worth it to stop here instead of some national chain.

They have great coffee & wonderful service! Amazing views of Lake Michigan!

Great coffee and service. Beautiful view!

I go there on Tuesday evenings for the 2 wheel Tuesday event that happens (just a bike meet) and I always get coffee when I go, they are ALWAYS fresh cups and the staff there is always so polite. I highly recommend! Thank goodness for them being open still during a pandemic!

Officially my new coffee shop !! Everyone is friendly and the food and coffee is amazing

Love drinking coffee and sitting on the deck looking out at the lake.

Incredibly friendly staff, warm atmosphere, great view, and the BEST CHAI Ive had yet. Ive been dying to find a good chai in Kenosha, and lo and behold Ive found it :) Stop by and support your local coffee shop!

This used to b really good place to relax and make new friends but the staff is VERY negetive and all their choices are gone u can order your java and drink it outside only. I realize the pandemic is here but with ALL cautions taken and inforced by owners why not b cautious and still serve loyal customers..who right now need each other?

Delicious coffee and great staff. One of my favorite places in Kenosha.

Chai Tea always delish.

Awesome vegan/vegetarian food. Reasonable prices.

I really like this place. Their drinks and sandwiches are always great. The staff is friendly. They have a quiet section if you just want some peace. Seating by windows so you can look out over the lake. They even have outside seating for those days you just want to enjoy the sunshine and nice weather. I would definitely recommend this cafe.

$30.00 for 2 smoothies, a cappuccino, 2 cookies and 2 cinnamon rolls. The cinnamon rolls were good; the cookies were awful. The cookies have some kind of coconut filler in them and they have nuts in them even though it did not say there was nuts on the package, not to mention they were basically tasteless. Disappointing.

Great coffee, beautiful view and very good pastry. They are exceptionally efficient and quick.

Great vanilla chai tea lattes and great sandwiches. Always a good experience when I come here and not too crowded (at least in the winter). It has a very calming atmosphere.

Great made to order sandwiches, hot soup and bakery! Has outside seating.

Friendly service. Only one size coffee but good coffee.

Come for cafe drinks, stay for the charm. Had a great Italian soda and iced coffee. Our table’s neighbors love their sandwiches; we liked our savory croissants. The low-key patio has a cozy vista of the harbor.

Great local coffee place and people

My walk downtown always brings me near this coffee shop. Their coffee is the bomb dot com and the smoothies are delicious. They serve you a cup and you pour yourself. Theres outdoor seating right near the lake and its free of smokers. The inside is always filled with interesting people and the workers are always serving while taking orders with the payments attached. Very clean and comfortable for my wife kid and I

Down to earth. Great coffee and great food. We are looking to relocate here and what a wonderful place to retreat and watch the water or people or just read. A great local place to vedge for sure

Great place with great staff always.

My favorite coffee shop. You can keep an account there by name. What fun to just pay with your name

Through. Are amazing!!!

Love the decor, fast service and the coffee!

You wont be disappointed when you come to this cozy coffee shop. The coffee and food is outstanding! My sister got me a chai latte (which I dislike strongly) and I was in love! There arent any crazy prices either. If you want a good coffee and a quiet place to catch up with a friend, this is the place for you!

Great service, extremely clean. im a teen so didnt know exactly how to order what i wanted and he asked me all the right questions and my coffee was exactly what i wanted and it tasted great.

The location of this coffee house is perfect... well in my eyes anyways. It is situated right in the back of the Kenosha harbor. This cafe at first glance from the street may look small, but do not underestimate the space that is included to this coffee house.You have three seating options when you arrive - sitting out front by the street, inside of the coffee house or the back patio facing the harbor. Had I stayed, I would have chosen the patio that way you can watch the peacefulness of the harbor in front of you.When you walk in you notice the menu selections, I got the Caramel Latte Iced Blend and it was absolutely delicious. When I hear ice blend I am always concerned of it being overpowered with syrup and sweetness. Luckily this was not the case here at Harbourside, the Ice Blend was done well and wasnt too sweet therefore I got to enjoy it on my way back to Chicago.The barista behind the register and bar was friendly as well, ready to give suggestions if needed too. Cannot wait to go back to Kenosha soon to try a different beverage off of their menu.

Cute local place

Great drinks, I just wish the food was a little better. Also the employees didnt seem very happy when I was there. However good people, great view, and a nice place inside.

Great atmosphere, excellent service. Tasty treats & delicious coffee.
