Common Ground Cafe - Social Cowork & Community Arts - Oxford

Arden

Cool coffee spot with a lot of independent vendors and activities going on. The flat white and latte were delicious and the cinnamon bun was outstanding (soft and sweet, with brown sugar crystals and a nice amount of cinnamon).

Really fast WiFi, delicious coffee, all the vegan milks, really friendly staff, nicely decorated, really good place to work. They have a baby changing station and unisex bathrooms. The vegan croissant was delicious. Would definitely come there again.

In my three years working in Jericho, coming to Common Ground each day was a constant bright spot. The flat white is unbeatable, the staff are lovely and the sense of community is A+. Couldn't ask for more from a local.

An incredible independent business and community space!

The staff are welcoming and professional, the coffee and beer are top notch and the wide selection of events is a welcome and much needed addition to Oxford! There’s something for everyone whether you want to work in a chilled cafe environment, hang out, attend an awesome gig or shop for vintage clothes, records and books (yes there is even a hidden bookshop downstairs!) it can all be found at Common Ground!

Had a lovely few visits here where the staff are so friendly and lovely, and make the best coffee! Theres even a book shop downstairs and clothes rail for charity everywhere; a real community hub! Will definitely be coming back soon!

One of if not the only true third spaces left in Oxford. This place provides a community like no other and it’s a god send for those who work from home and miss speaking to other people.

They host tons of events and bring the community together.

Great coffee, great food, great people.

Good coffee and food, really cool record section with some great techno, trance and house records (amongst many other genres). All the staff are very friendly i would definitely come here again to work or eat its a nice space

Yes. Bang-on right for Oxford city's evolution into a wholesome place for once. Town and gown thing - this is where they morph into a new more acceptable amalgam. BIG welcoming workspace, great coffee dairy and non-dairies. Smoker-friendly out front. Music vinyl shop in the corner, bookshop downstairs. Young and old, white, black, asian, asia-pacific. Students Uni and Brookes, local residents, families, workers, tourists, artists. Open 7 days a week, do great events days and evenings - regular live music, stand-up comedy, craft fairs, charity fundraisers. The rest, at 66, I'd just be repeating myself - ' “It’s in my interest to see [Common Ground] do well. I’ve lived in Jericho a long time, since 1983. First of all, its kind and friendly. Shared free Wi-Fi workspace that doesn’t chase you after you had your great coffee. Common Ground helps you feel grounded. Top marks. I torture locals and visitors alike with my wacky art and guitar playing.’
