What a fun Coffee House in a restored Historic Firehouse. The atmosphere is happy and the food was delicious! Owners are welcoming & very knowledgeable! There's even an ice cream stand inside the restaurant! Live music is available at times. Staff was courteous & kind. Breakfast & Lunch available.

This is a nice little coffee shop I visited while on a road trip with my bestie. The coffee shop was nice and had plenty of seating. I loved the old fire truck they had displayed - complete with a plushie Dalmatian sitting in the front seat. The iced latte I had was very nice and the breakfast taco was very good and filling!

We go almost every Saturday to get breakfast burritos and drinks. The food is always fresh, and the order is always correct. My husband enjoys their smoothies, and the coffee and chai teas have all been enjoyable.

This old fire station has new life as a casual coffee house named Common Grounds. Meet here to relax,catch up or just meditate. Breakfast burritos( the bacon one I got was full of bacon. Hard bacon but still ,more than most other places in town will give you ),coffees ,lattes ( they actually look and taste as good as Starbucks except cheaper ). all served here. So if you dont feel like driving way to Early to get your specialty drink fix,stop here. I'm not knockin Starbucks but this place is bigger,cheaper and heck of a lot closer. Parking is plentiful. If you are wheelchair mobile,this place has wide spaces so no worries. Kid friendly. Expect to pay about 10.00 a person for beverage and burrito. Well worth the trip. Drive through moves fast too.

This amazing fire station turned cafe is wonderful. We had the cosmos latte & a delicious made in house cinnamon roll. If you ever find yourself in Brownwood, give this place a try. They have a great variety of food options for breakfast & lunch. Enjoy friends.

It use to be a Fire House and the owners who bought it did an amazing job remodeling it. There was a line when we got there but they got to everyone quickly. We had breakfast bowls and the food was great. The people were very friendly and the atmosphere was really nice

It is great to see a quality small shop! I am not well versed in coffee, so my cold brew was not sweet enough but that is my fault. The breakfast migas were fantastic. I am not local to the area, but should I ever find myself back I will def return. The staff was very friendly as well.
