When I first moved to the midwest from the bay area, one of the things I missed the most was the architecture. So when I was first introduced to Uncommon Grounds in Uptown Minneapolis; I was immediatly enchanted with the victorian summer house that had been converted into a high end coffee shop.
I have been frequenting this establishment for a number of years. If I am not at home or work, I am typically to be found there. Over the past decade I've sat in every seat, and gazed out every window, tried every drink.
New baristas are trained in on making my drinks they way I like them, and I have bussed many a table there when it has become busy.
I enjoy it there very much becasue it is a tiny community with in a community. I like the history of the place, over a hundred years old now, it once was a wealthy families summer house, the city has literally grown up around it.
