Editorial Review for Uncommon Grounds Coffee House – by Annamarie Cumpston

In Short
From the silently spinning ceiling fan to the antique brass lights to the faux marble tables, Uncommon Grounds is uncommonly romantic. Tables are spread throughout many small rooms, with outdoor seating in the fenced front yard and large back yard. Favorite drinks include Uncommon Mocha with hazelnut and nutmeg. There's also carrot cake topped with an icing carrot and served on Fiestaware. Sandwich platters including turkey on focaccia and ham and brie.

What a fine little upscale cafe! The espresso is one of my 2 or 3 favorites, the Chai is great! I tried to pull the recipe from the young, tattooed, pierced barista, but she held her secrets! My wife and I moved to Milwaukee, but when we go back, we meet friends there!

I just want to tell you all how helpful your reviews have been. I moved back here from Montana after seven years away, and my fellow new mom and I are looking for a non-club atmosphere to go hang out. Needless to say, I remembered Uncommon Grounds being fun and inviting. The general theme in these reviews is that they've turned into the 2-drink minimum gestapo. No fun. I truly appreciate you all saving me the time and energy heading out that way. I am trying to get away from the stress, not add to it. Oh, and if you work at (or own) Uncommon Grounds and you're reading this, you should know that unhappy customers who share their stories DO influence other potential customers.
