We brew only the finest coffee from our own roastery in the Sunnyside neighborhood. We also specialize in crafting artisan sandwiches made with hearth bread baked fresh every morning. All of our lunch items are made fresh everyday from the finest ingredients. Come on in and check us out!
History
Established in 1992.
Common Grounds, a coffeehouse, was opened by Mary and Lisa Rogers in 1992 as an alternative to the Denver bar scene. In 1992 alternative meant «No Smoking,» charging a whole 75¢ for a cup of coffee, and offering a live music stage. It also meant taking a chance on a struggling neighborhood, the Highlands. We’ve grown since then by opening another location in Crestone in 1994 (although we closed it in 1995) and then our third store in LoDo in 1999. In 2002, we began roasting our own coffee under the name Highland Coffee & Tea. We are still family owned and operated.
