Common Grounds Cafe - Speculator

This restaurant is a fantastic place to stop on your journey. Their sandwiches are wonderful, especially the tuna melt with coleslaw and fresh lemonade. They also have a great variety of Adirondack gifts to choose from.

Stopped by for some lunch at the Common Grounds Cafe and we were not disappointed! There was a nice little souvenir shop in the front and then the inside of it was awesome! A wall with a book display, some stickers and other little things you can buy. We ordered the Cobb Salad, Barley Soup and the Mediterranean Bowl. The Cobb salad was excellent and had a great ranch dressing, and very crispy bacon! The Barley Soup was hearty and very good! Then the Mediterranean Bowl had some great dressing as well and it was tasty! They were so delicious and our plates were shiny clean when we finished. We did receive Gluten Free bread and that is very rarely available so we were very pleased with this!!! The server was very nice and did a great job! This place is a 5 star place for sure!!!

This was the best French toast I have ever tasted. The restaurant operates on a walk-up style, where you order at the counter and your food is brought to your table. The service was quick and the food was delicious. Their Chai Latte was exceptional as well, one of the best I have ever tried. They also have a cool selection of gift shop items throughout the restaurant. The barista was friendly and personable. We arrived just in time before it got really busy.

Best stuff ever! The Cinnamon bun French toast may have been a tiny bit misleading but it was delicious.

Cute bookstore and gift shop with a restaurant in the back. Food is good with breakfast and lunch offered. Healthy options on the menu as well, and everything was good that we all tried. Became our go-to place when visiting the area.
