Common Ground in Beaufort

Common Ground Market Place Cafe and Coffehouse in Beaufort is a great place to get a great cup of coffee, some desserts, baked goods, or even some really good gelato. The location is very convenient in the middle of Beaufort and is walking distance to just about anywhere, but is very close to the waterfront park and is only steps away to take an item like the gelato to the park after you order. I like the way the store is organized and layed out as there is multiple entrances and exits and all of the items are displayed very nicely to entice. The staff here is very helpful and patient when you are ordering and not able to choose right away because there are so many good things to choose from. Overall this is an awesome place that I look forward to returning to soon.

OMG, I didn't think that the ice cream around here could get any better. I was wrong.

Lovely little coffee shop on the riverfront. Had an espresso macchiato, my sister had a late. Both were tasty. I'm picky about my coffee and approve of both the beans and the skill of the barista! The pastries all look tasty, the blueberry muffin was good. They also have a nice breakfast and lunch menu. Plenty of seating inside while still being cozy and a nice al fresco patio is available with a good view of the river.

Great views from the porch and a wide variety at this coffee spot. There's something for everyone from gelato to pastries and of course coffee. Plenty of seating and just all around good vibe. Staff is friendly and helpful in directing you to a good coffee selection based on your preferences.

Beaufort has very little to do so this place is a pleasant go-to.

Great spot for a small bite and some ice cream! Comfortable seating inside and outside with views of the water and beautiful park. They have several great flavors to sample, and also split a tomato mozzarella panini.

Delicious Gelato 😋 with excellent customer service

This is a pretty typical little coffee shop. They have all the usual mixed coffee drinks, as well as a few basic sandwiches, and a nice selection of sweets. It's right on the 'beach' and right outside the park.The drinks we had were well made (iced Chai), and not too expensive. Would go again.

GREAT staff and BEAUTIFUL view . GOD BLESS

We tried the frozen cookies & cream and hot Turtle...wow amazing! Love this coffee!

Courteous service with genuine kindness, great coffee, tasty treats, and a view of the waterfront make this a wonderful spot for java-lovers visiting Lady's Island. Clean and cozy, it's perfect for a solitary wanderer, smitten couples, and growing families. Liketo read? They've got a selection of books. Want to play a game? You'll find a few here as well. Each time I visit, I find another reason to return.

Loved the atmosphere and location. The tomato pie was AMAZING, but gotta take one star off for the quiche. It lacked flavor and was not fluffy (because it was stuffed with potatoes). I'd absolutely come back, and this place is worth the visit; just avoid the quiche.

Amazing Iced Chai lattes and quiche! So yummy and fair priced. Cute atmosphere with a perfect outdoor patio. They are taking COVID seriously and made us feel very comfortable and safe. Will definitely be back :)!

Customized my drink order without any problem. The barista pulled great tasting espresso shots.

The iced coffee and the strawberry cream smoothie were both very good, however the service was a bit lacking. The associates were a bit short with us, and not very pleasant.
