Dear valued Common Grounds customer,
There's no easy way to say this, but here it goes: We would like to formally announce that within the next few weeks, Common Grounds Coffee and Tea House will cease operations. In its place will open "murky coffee arlington."
We started murky coffee in a tiny spot on Wisconsin Avenue in Georgetown in 2002. We quickly gained notoriety as the hands-down best coffee in all of Washington, DC, with many baristas from other coffee shops around the city coming to us for what emerged to be the only real espresso in DC.
Currently, we have a thriving shop right next to Eastern Market in the Capitol Hill neighborhood. Coffee-lovers from all around have been coming to experience what can only be called, "The next level of coffee and espresso."
Featuring the amazing, everything-from-scratch breakfast pastries from Hawthorne Fine Breakfast Pastries of Severna Park, Maryland, coffee from Mayorga Coffee Roasters in Rockville, and the renowned Malabar Gold espresso from Josuma Coffee Company in California, we have definitely lived up to our motto, "Totally committed to serving the people of Washington the best damn coffee there is... Yes, we said 'damn'"
Common Grounds has proven to be a very important place for a lot of people, and please be assured that we are very sensitive and respectful of that relationship. We hope that you'll like what we're going to be doing here, and we welcome your feedback. We can be reached at cg@murkycoffee.com, and be sure to check out our website at www.murkycoffee.com, where we'll be posting more information about the transition in the future.
Thanks, and God bless!

I'd like to welcome the customers of Common Grounds to our website. Change, the sort that is coming to 'The Grounds,' is never as smooth or as easy as we'd like. All we can really say is, we took over our current location that was a place called "Stompin' Grounds," a place not unlike Common Grounds in many ways.
We were able to transform a beloved coffeeshop that served BAD coffee, mediocre baked-goods, and had a somewhat aimless character, into a MORE beloved place with the best coffee in the city, the best baked-goods, and a 'vibe' that people love. We want everything to be the best, because we truly care about people... and people deserve the best. Don't you? Aren't you a people?
Feel free to e-mail us anytime with questions or comments. We're pretty good about getting back to people that way. Cool?
