At lunchtime today, I cycled out to Little Clarendon Street to grab a coffee at the newly re-opened Common Ground. The vibe here is different from any other coffee spot in Oxford, partly because it’s also a co-working space / community arts hub. This afternoon, almost every customer was celebrating with the staff that they managed to take ownership and get the place up and running again. Add in good coffee, super comfy mismatched seating and someone in the corner playing out 70s soul vinyl — it felt good to have the doors open again. The current lease runs into next summer, so if you’re local to Oxford please go support the place. I did my part by grabbing a delicious cinnamon bun along with my long black. Reply by email
