I was invited to breakfast several times over the last couple of months since writing my last review. The service has gotten better and so has the food. This is still not my favorite breakfast spot, but good for something different. Make sure you try the pumpkin spiced coffee before they close for the season! More

The food is merely OK. Nothing to write home about, but they do have a few unusual dishes on the menu that are worth a try if you absolutely must eat here. The dining area is cramped as it is filled with shelves overflowing with books, toys, stuffed animals, and the other detritus of a local tourist trap. Common Grouds... More

Had breakfast here, which was quite good and very reasonably priced. It's also a gift shop, so it gets some traffic, but there's lots to look at while you await your meal. Extremely clean and excellent service. Of all the places in town to eat, this one has come out on top so far. More

My husband makes a special trip into speculator just for the vanilla lattes and the muffins....which we all have our favorites, and since I'm writing this review I will say that the cappuccino chocolate chip muffin grilled with a smudge of butter is heaven! They have... More

I stop for breakfast on my way home from a Labor Day trip. The place is located at the intersection of routes 8 and 30, on the northwest corner and is a behind another building (N43.50186 W74.36524). The Café is inside a store and consists of a dozen or so tables and a counter. The staff was friendly and the... More

I am writing this review because I noticed someone mention in their review of Melody Lodge (Speculator) that they didn't think there was any place to eat breakfast in Speculator. We love the Common Grounds diner. It is sort of hard to see - it's behind the Speculator Department Store. They have GREAT breakfasts - and lunch too. For breakfast,... More
