My first year at Baylor, I spent more time at Common Grounds than in my dorm room. I found it comforting because it had an “Austiny” feel. I grew up in Austin around live music and hip coffee shops, so the atmosphere of Common Grounds was exactly what I needed to feel at home. I spent many homesick nights under the colorful lights and wacky decorations the unique coffee shop provided.
CG is the venue for several bands each month. Just this last Tuesday I went to a Drew Holcomb concert there. It was great to be able to take a break from reality for a night and listen to one of my favorite bands play.
Along with awesome bands, Common Grounds has exceptional coffee. Considering the fact that I drink more coffee than water, I appreciate the wide variety of flavors. Although CG has a fun atmosphere, many students choose to study there.
Common Grounds really has impacted my experience here in Waco in a positive way. It’s like a small slice of home but also mixes in the great community service opportunities found here in Waco. You can find information on organizations such as Waco Arts Initiative in the shop. CG really attempts to get students involved in the community.
My personal favorite coffee found at Common Grounds is the Hotrod. They have three new flavors to choose from everyday. The Hotrod is made with skim milk and is best served hot, hints the name...I would recommend that every Baylor student and visitor stop by Common Grounds for a coffee or to just experience the awesome atmosphere that it provides!
