For the next few weeks I'll be posting about some favorite spots for students to hangout on and around Baylor's campus.
My favorite place: Common Grounds. It's got a wide variety of warm and cool cafe beverages, tasty little cake balls for when you need to treat yourself, and an environment that I want so badly to recreate in my living room. I would suggest bringing along earphones and some cool tunes if you're studying because it can get noisy when traffic is at it's height.
The coffee shop was started as a business school project that perpetuated into a thriving business in the mid-70s. Utilizing a home off of the I-35 8th Street exit, the store maintains a tradition of college bohemian decor.
With it's prime location near many of the freshman dorms Common Grounds receives a steady flow of customers throughout the day. Students are attracted to the shop by word-of-mouth and the flyers posted around campus advertising for their open-mic nights and concerts.
Artists that perform at Common Grounds are usually Christian groups that have a following with the student body. Uproar Records, a business school production company, debuts most of their up-and-coming artists at Common Grounds so that they will gain name recognition.
Eclectic decor and music is not all that this coffee shop has to offer, serving a wide variety of sweet drinks and snacks makes it a great place for students to hang out.
"I love drinking the James Callahan when I go to CG. One of my friends got me hooked on it during our freshman year," sophomore Lyndi Conradt said.
