About Common Groundz Community Cafe

Tucked along Freeman Street, this Lalor Park spot pairs robust long blacks and hearty morning plates with a neighborhood-first volunteer mission. Regulars drop in for the big brekkie, house hash specials, and expertly pulled espresso, settling out back where the welcome is genuine and relaxed. Volunteers take time to cater to picky eaters and family requests without fuss. Stop by when you need breakfast with real heart—or order a hot chai and generous slices of brown toast alongside sautéed mushrooms.

  • Volunteer-led community hub: Run by welcoming local volunteers dedicated to giving back to Lalor Park with every morning shift.
  • Hearty morning fare: Plates stacked with big breakfast staples, hash specials, brown toast, and seasoned mushrooms.
  • Crafted coffee and chai: Thoughtful baristas deliver consistently strong long blacks and dialed-in chai lattes.

  • Generous and Satisfying Breakfasts

    Breakfast orders feature hearty portions and carefully prepared cafe fare like the big brekkie, seasoned mushrooms, and fresh bread.

    Very generous on the bread though, mushrooms were cooked nicely. Their extra hot chai lattè was well made.
