Common Grounds - Pondok Indah Plaza

"The venue is quite nice—spacious and comfortable. However, the food and beverages could be improved. For the relatively high prices, the portions provided are too small. The coffee is delicious, and I really enjoyed it. The food is also tasty, but again, the portions are too small considering the price. I hope this can be improved in the future. On a positive note, the service here is friendly and very satisfying."

"Food was good. But latte was not hot enough…They should have more variety of dessert and pastry."

"The pasta was amazing, the pizza was amazing, yet it was the coffee I would like to complain about. Since there was no significant taste in Americano I ordered, I would rather to try their non-coffee drinks than their coffee. The second was the service itself. More trainings are gonna be required as the way they managed our table calls were pretty slow. Apart from those, I love this place. Just be careful as sometimes they were full-booked at a certain hour."

"Decent brunch place in South Jakarta. There are plenty of better options in South Jakarta. Bottom line, i would come here because this is near my house and plenty and easy parking. After eating here more than 10x, i can say: - not all food items are created equal. True standouts for me were the chicken avocado sandwich, chicken pesto rosso, truffle fries, breakfast burrito. rest are….just ok - the pastries are bad. Sorry, i tried multiple times, gave it a chance, just….no. Pls improve this part, else ure falling behind from 100 other brucnh spots in Jakarta.. - coffee here is reliable and delicious. Flavor profile lean towards fruitier taste but still enjoyable - don’t order matcha here. regular matcha latte here is not recommended. U gotta go with ceremonial grade if you want decent matcha."

"I ::heart:: Common Grounds. I think their coffee needs no explanation, top notch. I also love their lemon pound cake which I can't find in any other café. Pricey? Yes but absolutely worth it. Also the staff is awesome, makes you always feel welcome."

"Common grounds is a premium coffee shop, put that in mind. The coffee always good and it's priced as what you expected, while the pastry was on the higher side.."

"I went here on Saturday noon after i had lunch in another place. Recommended cafe to work on weekend or hang out with friends. This place has 2 floors with large window design because its location at the corner, lots of parking, and friendly staff. This cafe serves main meal for brunch, lunch, dinner, also they have croissants and of course variety of coffee. l ordered hot coffee latte, peanut butter and j croissant, and hot large cappuccino. All was perfect. In another time, i tried other meals and drink also, such as Thai beef steak for lunch, nachos, ice mocha, english breakfast tea.. again, all was perfect."

"Common ground located in Pondok Indah Plaza 2, infront of Kari Umbi. There are 2 floors, the bottom floor with square tables and sweets display, suitable for coffee time. And the upper floor provides bigger tables setting, suitable for dining. The interior was modern but cozy. Designed beautifully. But unfortunately, the seating was not comfortable for a long period of time setting. We went there on two different occasions: for dining & coffee time. We ordered: Naked burrito bowl - a bit tasteless for me. Need more spices. Phil's fried chicken -this one was my favorite. The chicken was crispy, the sauce was flavorful, served on a hotplate, with chips on the side Cheese sandwich - i think it's a temporary menu. Need more seasoning, a bit bland for me. Magnum dessert - i forgot the name of the dessert but it was too sweet for us. For coffee time: Egg tart croissant - the egg filling was soft with a creme brulee like texture. The croissant was too thin for me. Thicker pastry would balance the filling better. Burnt butter twist roll - we could taste the burnt flavor, but the roll was a bit dry. Boston cream eclair - the filling was too dense and just too ordinary tasting for me. But what i like about common ground is that they served: Perfect coffee everytime. Always consistent on their coffee. The menu was a bit overwhelming. Too many choices. Sometimes simple menu is better than 50+ pages of menu to flip through."
