The best organic coffee in the state can be found at a shop in DeKalb, Illinois that sources its ingredients from around the world. This unique place is working to connect all corners of the globe in more ways than one. Check it out:
Established in 2016, Common Grounds is a gourmet coffee shop that features brews from all corners of the globe as well as fresh-baked pastries, fruit smoothies, tea, and book sales.
The atmosphere is trendy and hip. There is a social activism motivation behind what the business does. The items are fairly traded, and proceeds fund the battle to end human trafficking.
Specific items include smoked turkey, salami, grilled chicken, and more on a bagel or ciabatta bread. Additional sweets include fudge, cookies, and pound cake.
Some drinks are dessert and candy-themed while others are sweet and spicy. You'll also find classic brews and lattes as well as mochas, cappuccinos, and more.
Common Grounds is open Monday through Saturday between 9 a.m. and 5:30 p.m., and you can get more details on its website or Facebook page.
