Great food, not your cookie cutter breakfast place I mean they even make pancrepes! Food is always fresh and not too greasy. Homemade corned beef hash , great tea selection , and usually have specials

Sara Sigel

Skip the toast and upgrade to a grilled bagel . The applewood bacon and cheddar cheese scramble was delicious. Pancakes (lemon ricotta ) are flavorful and fluffy!

Luna La Creme

Super awesome food. Got the crabcake eggs Benedict and it was so good. The food was super fast, but the service was a little meh. My latte was good but so much foam.

I can't believe that after all these years & about 400 gallons (300 days/yr @ 24 oz/day x 15 years) of Peter's java, I've been ousted as the mayor of Uncommon Grounds! THIS IS A CHALLENGE, Sarai W! .

I call at 1:15 to ask if they would seat us if we come by 1:35, since they close at 2pm. They say sure, no problem. We drive all the way and reach by 1:35, and the hostess says sorry we're closing.

I'm always leery of getting french toast delivered because it can arrive soggy. But they did it right. Food looked and tasted great!
