Highland Park neighbors and beyond, it is with great honor and gratitude that we were named in The Daily Meal's top 50 coffee shops in the nation for the 3rd year in a row. Here's the write up from our site (and the link), followed by the Daily Meals post. (As you're traveling to other cities, make sure you check out these cafe's. They're gonna be GOOD.) Thanks to the many of you who stop in and sit with us, grab coffee for the day, or get your bean for home. We're grateful for your participation in this success! http://thecommonplacecoffeehouse.com/2015/04/top-50-best-coffee-houses-again...

TJ, our passionate owner, shared the news on *his* Facebook feed at his first stop of morning coffee. And so it started…
