Food is always good. But ordered a cappuccino today. Had cold milk in it. Didn’t seem to be steamed. Otherwise 5 stars. (Update). I was offered a free cappuccino. Quick response and great customer service by the team 😎

I use to be a huge Starbucks fan but since my family and I have known about common ground we only go there. Sometimes 2x a week. Their smoothies are one of our favorites. Our girls love their bubble tea and lemonades.

Enjoyed my cappuccino and quiche along with my shopping experience at The Farmers Daughter that is located in the same building. A great place to stop in while traveling through or enjoying the lake. Hartwells downtown area is lovely with a nice collection of boutiques and eateries.
