Common Grounds

"The best coffee I’ve had in a long time beats a Starbucks any day and books to read as you sit and enjoy your coffee or meal definitely a plus will be returning the only thing that sucks is the parking but I would walk for this drink"

"The best place in Nashville to get coffee. Iris is the sweetest, and their muffins rival any other I’ve had!"

"Great experience. What a wonderful shop and owner. Iris, the owner, is engaging. Not only did we go multiple times while in town to get our coffee fix, we also ended up with a number of books from the shop. A great experience. Very much recommend. Thank you."

"Several years ago, we went to Common Grounds and had an AMAZING experience. My mom has talked about what a great time she had often. So it was obvious we’d try it out again during our stay in Nashville. Unfortunately, our experience wasn’t the same as years ago. They have a large menu, they even had gluten free cookies, and the woman who (I’m assuming) runs the place was very eager to please… that’s about all the positive things I can say. It is not a calm environment and the atmosphere is just not good. There is stuff EVERYWHERE and it feels extremely cluttered. I would never go here to study or take a friend here to sit, solely because of the disorderly environment. We hope next time we come to town it will be more like it was last time!"

"Very comfy,cozy place to chill out. Iris, the owner, wasnt still long enough to get a good pic of her. Great place to hang out alone or have a get together. Quiche, Scones, huge cookies, etc...plus its a coffee house. One of those places that you walk in a stranger and leave as a friend."
