Common Ground Coffee

Nice downtown historic Main Street coffee house with comfy couches to work or just hang out. My Latte was excellent and the home baked cupcakes they just made were very tasty!
Glad to see this in Ft Scott. I’ll stop in whenever I am in the area doing business

I was in Ft. Scott twice during the Thanksgiving week in which we stopped by here on both occasions. They have a great selection of coffees, teas, and pastries. They also will fix you a sandwich. The staff is great to deal with and this is a nonprofit place run by the local church. The money is used to help abused women, I think. That is if I remember right on who they are helping, but I am sure they are helping someone. Anyway, they are running a great place for a great purpose, so stop on by when you are in the downtown of Historic Ft. Scott.

Stopped on a whim today after hearing great things about this place. The macchiato I had was excellent. Service was fast and with a smile. Great coffee and atmosphere.

Made a quick stop here, just off the l-​69 coming from kansas city. My husband had hazelnut cappuccino and I had caramel macchiata, both were exceptionally good. Spacious café with books and even board games. Happy with my visit.

I wouldn’t have guessed Fort Scott had a coffee shop pouring top-​notch espresso drinks but it’s true. Stopped here for an hour on the way to a gig and hopped onto their snappy free wireless and got some work done. Although the drinks come only in paper cups there was nothing lacking in the latte the barista poured. Top notch. But here’s the thing about this place: Fort Scott suffers from the problem many small towns in Kansas are dealing with, that of a dying downtown. Vacant stores, antique malls moving into former retail spaces, etc. So, the fact that there’s a nice place to hang out that serves great coffee and has lots of comfortable couches makes me really like this place. Whoever gave flights to this place, my hat is off to you. That alone makes it worth five stars.

I stopped here today on my drive home to Dallas, Texas. This location popped up on Unilocal and I had to gice it a try. Plus, with a seven hour drive, I needed the espresso.
This coffeehouse is located on main street in Fort Scott. I was able to find a parking spot right across the street. The inside is super spacious and the baristas are very friendly. There are plenty of couches and comfortable seating for customers. There is also a stage that I assume is for live music.
I ordered a large pumpkin spice latte and it was under $ 5. It was delicious and definitely gave me the caffeine I needed.
This will be my stopping place each time I road trip home ;)

I’ve lived in this small town of 8000 people since 1999, and I never thought we would have such a cool coffee house.
The coffee, which comes from The Roasterie® in Kansas City, is excellent. The baristas are every bit as good as in the coffee shops in a big city. In addition to a variety of hot & cold coffee drinks, they have both bottled and fountain soft drinks, iced teas, etc. They serve panini and a few house-​made baked goods, including excellent pies.
The location is an 1880s Victorian building in the Downtown Historic District, but don’t expect Victoriana inside. It has a very eclectic feel to it. There are both tables w/​chairs and large leather sofas. Local committees are welcome to meet there. There’s a small stage for open-​mic nights, and a projection TV can be used for special events like World Cup Soccer. Normally though, it’s quiet enough for customers to work, write or study, and of course there’s free WiFi.
When you visit, ask how to sign up for their text message specials, and once or twice a week you’ll hear about special discounts, freebies, and such.
If you’re visiting Fort Scott, don’t leave this off your itinerary. You’ll find some of us locals here 2, 3 or even 4 times a week.

A surprising coffee gem in a small town.
Free WiFi and great coffee.
I didn’t have any of the food available — but the menu looked nice :)
Pro-​Tip: If you could add some vegan food options that would be awesome!
