I have been a regular at Uncommon Grounds for just short of four years. The employees are very helpful and friendly. There have been some changes to their menu (all good!) and they have added a second level (smoking)...The best drink in the house would have to be their Homemade Chai Tea (Delicious!). For food, they have: Fudge Cake, Turtle Cheese Cake, Biscotti, and a variety of large sandwiches (big enough to share). I give it the highest score possible!!

Great place for artsy types. The atmosphere is definitely worth the drive and 50 cents more on drinks and food than a Caribou or Starbucks.

Even though Minneapolis is about a 10 hour drive away from me here in Lee's Summit, Missouri, my sister and I always make the trip up at least a couple times a year. We go up for several reasons but one of the main ones is Uncommon Grounds. Honestly! We have to get our Vietnamese and Chai fixes..it's a must. I have been to many coffeehouses/shops but not one can even compare to Uncommon Grounds.
