I work down the street from here, so its hard not to go to once in a while. This is one of the few places in the area that serves a nice healthy wrap. Try finding sprouts at Pats accross the street!...

Alright, so it seems like some people like this place. Common Ground certainly does have a few good reviews. But I can't bring myself to stamp em' with anything above a 1-start because a visit to that...

Five stars for food, but one off for being the Twelve Tribes. I'm glad they don't shove their beliefs down your throat, but it's still a little creepy. The "bar" area where they make mate lattes and...

I got to share a little Common Ground snack, and be a little cookie monster, from their stand at Earth Fest. This helped complete the Lou Reed "Oh it's such a perfect day" buzz in the sun at an...

I love this place. Don't get caught up in the religion of the people who run it. I grew up in this area when I was a kid, frequented their cafe when I was a teen, went to one of their "gathering...

I have relatives that live in Ithaca, NY. There is a branch of this restaurant there called Mate Factor. Same ownership, same ideals. They were brought up on child labor and child abuse charges. I...

I'm not gonna go on a full-blown rant, about 12 Tribes or anything.I had gone to the Common Ground a few times, and thought they were some sort of harmless hippie-type group.Then a totally hilarious...

Stay away! The members of Common Ground, Twelve Tribes & Ellen Walker & Family are white extremists. They have people of color in their organization to distract from what they are really serving the country....

The food and service here is really good.However, I was creeped-out when I saw them at Mayfest in Harvard Square. The women were all dressed in very long "Little House on the Prairie" gowns--very...

What finally got me here on a day off from work was Hillary M's suggestion of carrot cake. Wow! It's almost like gingerbread, and the frosting dripping over the top and down the sides is fantastic. If...

One of the most unique places I have ever dined. I was introduced to the Common Ground Cafe by an ex-hippie friend, who warned me ahead of time that it was run by a group religious hippie folk....

The Common Ground is one of my all time favorite places to eat. If you can't have a meal without meat, keep walking, but if you don't mind that the only meat they serve is tuna fish and turkey, you might just...

People keep reviewing Common Ground Cafes as being run by a "cult". I would call this a little on the extreme side. Twelve Tribes is definitely an oddball hippie church. Yes, they are interested in...
