Smack in the middle of the busiest stretch of Highland, Common Grounds is always bustling, the mismatched tables and chairs throughout the eclectically decorated rooms full of grad students, professionals, neighborhood residents and other visitors.

What's a coffeehouse doing making such a great cup o' tea? That's what we wanted to know, and here's the answer: Mary and Lisa Rogers, the owners of the two Common Grounds coffeeshops, are tea lovers at heart. After doing some research on the origins of chai, an Indian and Middle Eastern drink made from spiced tea and steamed milk, they decided that the only way to do it was the right way. And so Common Grounds's barristas don't reheat bottled chai syrup as they would at most places, but... More »
Yes, good coffee, but better people watching.
great meeting place, good chai, but you gotta walk down to the denver bread company to get a cookie if you want something yummy to go with....
