Probably
the most recent restaurant to open up on campus is the Common Grounds below
Champions Court 1. At first I was thinking this was just a coffee place like Starbucks
or another average coffee house. Then the other day a friend mentioned that he
really liked their milkshakes, and as we started talking, I figured out that it
was so much more than a coffee place. Therefore I just had to try it for
myself.
So today
I went to Common Grounds to eat lunch. The first thing I noticed was the
surprising lack of a long line to order. This is kind of strange, especially on
a college campus, most if not all of the other places to eat on campus have
dreadfully long lines just to get your order into the system. Then I got a look
at their menu, to discover many more lunch options than I had expected from a
coffee shop. From the looks of it Panini’s were their specialty but they had sandwiches
and other items as well.
So I’m
not a huge coffee fan so I didn’t look at their coffee menu in great detail, but
it looked like they had a pretty large selection of specialty drinks. What I did
order was a milkshake, but I looked over the flavor options and saw that they
were mostly fruity flavors. When I got my “milkshake” my suspicion was
confirmed; it wasn’t a milkshake as much as it was a smoothie. Then I began to
wait for my food and waited and waited. It took quite while for them to make my
sandwich. It was mostly likely from the speed they took orders that they built
up. I eventually got my food and it was good, but by the time I got it my milkshake/smoothie
was halfway gone.
