Brittany RouilléApril 14, 2016Good place to work, lots of room and plugs, the wifi was a bit slow but it was good enough. They stop serving at 9 but let you stay till 9:30pm. No gluten free options :(
- Pearson - Always LearningJuly 5, 2013The café is not-for-profit, with revenue going to support community projects in the less developed world. So your coffee and croissant impacts more than just your hunger!
For drivers: Allow plenty of time for parking. Had to re-convene elsewhere with client recently as he couldn't get parked anywhere nearby. (Both of us coming from out of town and both love the venue.)- Savour the knowledge that the profits from this cosy cafe go to support community projects in the developing world. Hire back room for artistic performances/meet-ups. Enjoy live music most Fri nights.
- Related to my last tip: increased parking/walking time is worth it for the zucchini cake alone!
Loyalty stamp cards will get you a free hot drink after six purchases (vs. ten at Clements - which makes Common Grounds a good place for regulars).- Like this tip if you were asked what you wanted before being presented with a menu. Every. Damn. Time.
- Simple, but the muesli with chopped apple and banana is a winner. Scrambled eggs if you'd rather have something cooked.
- Also try the vegetarian quiche or the bagel with chicken & cashew nuts; both superb. More info on CG at www.commongrounds.co.uk. You could also head through nearby Botanic Gdns to the Ulster Museum.
- The wifi password is "redbrickwall". (last updated 6th May 2013)
Cinnamon scones like nothing you've ever tried before. You'll not be disappointed.

"Take the kids to the art space (or just go yourself - they smile indulgently) and okay with a wide range of arts and crafts materials. Don't miss the mummy, with accompanying film - really very good."
