It’s pretty difficult for me to choose an absolute favourite thing!
The staff is amazing and the cafe itself is so inviting ! Love the kids play area, really didn’t see that’s everywhere else is Laos.
The food is so great! Always a yummy healthy choice . That breakfast burrito though! Wowzas !
Can’t wait to come back
Love your Canadian friends

I was looking for a breakfast and saw Common Grounds. Read reviews and it looked good.

I ordered there breakfast and a coffee. Coffee was good but after 20 minutes I have not received my breakfast. When I inquired the staff they had clearly forgotten about me.

They came and made excuses about a problem in the kitchen. Waited another 10 minutes. Breakfast was allright.

The coffee and breakfast at this shop are delicious and fairly prices, and the staff are wonderful. I witnessed them serving a free breakfast to a homeless woman who was begging for money outside the shop. If you're looking for good coffee and to support a lovely local business, this is the spot for you!

I only had breakfast at the Common Grounds Cafe (which was very tasty) but I heard that their Mexican food is very good, and their cakes looked great. Staff are pleasant and the good service comes with a smile. Even better, this is a cafe with a heart: An elderly woman came in while I was there, asking for money: The staff gently talked with her and led her to a place to rest in the shade while they fixed a carry bag of food for her to take. A simple, quiet act of kindness. Good people, good place.

The atmosphere of this relatively new coffeeshop is rather cold, but the hot coffee is good. There's WIFI, cakes and cookies and comfy chairs.
