The first thing you’ll notice about this place is that it looks a bit out of place amongst the modern businesses on either side. The storefront looks like it's carved from a living tree.

It’s hard to describe just how cozy and inviting the atmosphere is. Everything from the tables to the railings is hand-carved and beautifully decorated.
Each table is a unique and tucked-away dining space. You can climb into a booth that feels a bit like a nest carved into the side of a tree, or drop into a sunken table area surrounded by delicate curtains and burnished wood.

Common Ground specializes in naturally delicious fare like freshly baked bread, delectable vegetable wraps and an incredible array of sandwiches.
Try the Pauper Special (thinly sliced smoked turkey with their own BBQ sauce with onions served hot on a steaming buttered roll) their decadent grilled cheese, or even a simple peanut butter, banana and honey sandwich.
