Welcome to Uncommon Grounds, a charming café nestled at 282 St George St, Duxbury, MA 02332. This delightful local gem invites you to experience the warm embrace of a true community coffee shop. Step inside, and you'll be greeted by the rich, inviting aroma of freshly roasted coffee, promising a unique and flavorful adventure for every coffee lover.

At Uncommon Grounds, the focus is on quality and simplicity. They pride themselves on roasting their own coffee beans daily, ensuring each cup is vibrant and bursting with flavor.

A customer favorite is the cinnamon hazelnut blend, a delightfully aromatic choice that dances on your palate, perfect for those cozy mornings or mid-afternoon pick-me-ups.

The true stars of this coffee haven, however, might just be the freshly baked muffins. As customer Sydney Rheeder passionately puts it, they're "INSANE," coming straight from the oven with a crisp top that gives way to a wonderfully soft interior.

Uncommon Grounds serves these treats right out of the tin they were baked in, ensuring each bite is as fresh as the last.

While the café may be small, the atmosphere is cozy and inviting, making it easy to settle in with a good book or enjoy a chat with friends over a cup of coffee. The outdoor garden patio offers a lovely setting to bask in the fresh air while enjoying your drink and baked goods. Customer Devin Quinn highlights the helpful and friendly staff who are always ready to assist you, including holding your order while you run across the street for cash—a small convenience that makes a big difference.

Uncommon Grounds captures the essence of a local coffee shop—where every detail matters, from the careful roasting of their beans to the baking of their pastries.

Cash only - but there’s a convenient ATM across the street in the packie. The staff were super friendly and kept my order to the side while I ran over for some cash. The coffee is all roasted in house and the homemade muffins were fresh out of the oven! I really liked the cinnamon hazelnut coffee blend. Wicked affordable prices and a great gem of a spot. I loved sitting out on the garden patio area for a bit.

Hidden gem of a coffee shop! Solid coffee (all drip, don’t come here asking for a cappuccino) but the muffins are INSANE. Right out of the tin they were cooked in, warm, perfectly crisp on the top. There is an atm across the street in the corner market if you need to pull out cash!

This bag of green coffee beans from Flores Indonesia is one of many international coffees available at Uncommon Grounds in Duxbury. All freshly roasted daily. Great coffees and incredible muffins!

I've been taking my family to this coffee shop for over 10 years, and it's terrific. Very small, family run business. They roast their own beans right there on the premises, which I love. Not a ton of seating, but fantastic pastries (mostly muffins) to go along with some terrific coffee. It's a cash-only place (something else I love), so bring some folding money with you. You won't be disappointed!

A great place to stop for a cup of coffee, pick up freshly roasted beans, or a muffin right out of the oven. Prices are very reasonable (cash only), and if you have any questions the owners are very friendly. For grabbing a bag of coffee beans, they have some unique offerings, and they can grind it for you if you like. It’s a down to earth and approachable coffee shop and roaster that focuses on quality. Hard to beat.

Cash only. There is an ATM at the General Store across the street. It looks like all beans are roast right here, and this is a super simple place with just coffee, muffins, and one or two other fresh-baked items. The owner was gracious enough to let me use the bathroom (a rare commodity around here, and it wasn’t hard to flush which, with my fragile EDS hands, some are these days). Thank you!!!! The smell of the muffins is phenomenal! The parking lot is a decent size. There is no ramp access. You will have to go up 3 stairs (two on the porch and a small one into the actual store).
