About Common Ground
Common Ground is a coffee shop template with personality. Hand-lettered script accents, earthy terracotta, sage and cream colors, and pun-filled copy give it the feel of a real neighborhood café, not a generic layout.
Everything a café owner updates week to week lives in the CMS, so changing prices, events or reviews never means touching the design.
