Great fresh food, and accommodating vegetarian too. Lovely coffee with a relaxed vibe. Definitely worth dropping in more than once.

A very nice little cafe with great selection of homemade treats and drinks. Best part for me was the serene garden around the side. Seemed to be building a pizza oven so will definitely be back for a slice once complete.

It's a lovely wee cafe with good coffee, delicious cakes, big portions of tasty soup, and simple decor that creates a cosy atmosphere. The people who run it are people with a mission: it is a meeting place for many activists, and foodbank collections take place there every week on Wednesdays.

Common Grounds offers great coffee and tea, aswell as tasty breakfast, lunch and sweet treats. It supports local out of work people by giving them an opportunity to develop their skills. Also stands alongside the refugee community by offering volunteer opportunities and support. All profits go to charity.

Everytime I come here, I promise myself that I'll try something other than their delicious Yum Bowl. But it's just so good, I can't help myself and I reorder it everytime! Great chill atmosphere, plugs for computers, outdoor seating on a nice day, and friendly staff. Can't fault the place.

My favourite Belfast coffee shop! Coffee and food are great and staff are friendly. Common Grounds has a really nice atmosphere. At certain times of the day it can get quite busy, but that's such a small thing compared to how much I like this place that it still gets five stars.

Common Ground is a relaxed experience where dinning for a cause really does mean something, however you should get your food intolerance policy, its easy to freeze gluten free bread and to make up sandwiches. Look forward to a return.

Very friendly relaxed atmosphere. Great place to sit and work near the university if the library isn't for you. Food is excellent and affordable. Coffee is great too, with different guest beans every so often. Can't recommend highly enough.
