Specialty Coffee Curated for You
With a deep love for craft specialty coffee, Royce Hall created a coffee brand to help connect people with better coffee. He discovered shortly after a college the joys of home small batch coffee roasting. He's explored coffee in his area and was left unsatisfied. This passion led him to seek out, discover and share some of the world's best coffee.

Charged across the street and stopped. The smoothies and baked goods were excellent. An atmosphere of total calm. The coffee seems to be good, but I will have to wait until my next visit to know for sure.

What Others Are Saying
The fact that some of the baristas dishonestly talk about people in front of customers is really disappointing. When paying six dollars for a drink, you would expect them to put more effort into making your drink right, especially when you have a health issue that requires a simple adjustment. The things that happen here are so frequent that I have stopped coming here, which is disappointing when you have been a customer for a long time. Up until now, I've just dealt with these things because I love coffee. It appears that the staff turnover rate is high, with the exception of a few, which suggests they need better training and consistency. If some employees were more professional, I would continue to be a customer. Very disappointing.

In North Lexington, Broomwagon is a local favorite. They offer a great selection of bikes and accessories and do some of the best work I've seen. Egg sandwiches are one of the top offerings at the cafe, and their coffee menu is always interesting and inspired. I recommend it highly.

I Choose Coffee.
Common Grounds is locally owned by the Robinson family. It started in 1992 as just a local coffee shop and has grown into the largest locally owned coffee business in Lexington. Besides the 7 stores, Common Grounds has a warehouse facility where coffee is roasted fresh every week and the warehouse is where the majority of the food products are made in the company's commercial kitchen. The warehouse is also where other local Kentucky coffee shop owners come to purchase coffee shop products like

My search for good coffee in Lexington led me to this place. This is a very chill place. The breakfast burrito I ordered was also delicious. This is an excellent choice. Fresh ingredients of good quality. Personalized. Much better than any chain store could ever provide. This coffee was so delicious, I took a bag home with me.

Simple and plain coffee for those who enjoy it. Nitro cold brew, mocha icebergs, and double espressos are all beloved. Unlike some other leading brands (*cough star cough bucks*) their coffee has real flavor, and their muffins are delicious! Recommend highly and always!

Quality for All.
Quills can be many things to many people. It can be a very good cup of coffee, or the catalyst for innovative ideas. The magic of a coffee shop is that once that environment is created, it becomes not just what the staff makes it, but what the customers make it. A true community happens. Quills creates this with three simple staples: great coffee, great service and great spaces.
What Others Are Saying
The coffee shop and office area are both very nice.
Cappuccinos aren't as good as they used to be. A covid regulation prevents us from opening the kitchen, which is a pity.

Don't go here. As much as I love supporting local small businesses, I stop at Starbucks next door. The baristas at their coffee shops have no training and don't seem to enjoy it.
In addition to our knowledge of coffee, we have also invested a lot of money and time in modifying our home setup to meet our needs.
