Common Heart

Came here on a Friday morning. Drive thru only and it wasn't too busy. There's no walk-in order, but the small shack has 2 windows to order from in your car. They have the traditional coffee menu and some seasonal drinks with additives. I ordered a Northern Lights, which was coffee with raspberry, coconut, vanilla and white chocolate. I thought it was unusual in a coffee, but it worked out great. Not too tart or sweet. Just the right amount of flavoring without diminishing the flavors of the coffee. Overall, a great, local coffee shop. They have a little covered area to sit and enjoy your drink. It's across COS, so I'm sure it's popular amongst the students. The staff was very nice. Highly recommend it.

This was our first time coming here and we loved it so much! We live 3 and a half hours away and wanted try a cute little coffee spot and this was exactly what we needed! The coffees were amazing. I got the teddy graham latte and it was one of the best coffees I ever had! The atmosphere was so adorable and the staff was so welcoming and kind. Will definitely be coming back if I ever get the chance! 🩷

Common Heart – Visalia, CA This place is one of Visalia’s hidden gems! Common Heart is a great coffee spot with a relaxing vibe and plenty of shaded outdoor seating. They even have a patio area where kids can play chess, making it a nice family-friendly stop. It’s conveniently located right off the freeway, directly in front of COS, and easy to miss if you don’t know it’s there. The music sets a chill tone, and the staff inside are friendly and welcoming. Whether you’re grabbing a quick cup or looking to hang out for a bit, this spot hits the mark.

By far my FAVORITE place to get coffee!!! They do a great job of creating specialty drinks... they have a great location! Sometimes I take my daughters so they can play with the toys there while I enjoy my coffee. Haley is awesome...very personable. She's the one that created the drink that I order every time I go there! Definitely order from there...you won't be disappointed!

This little shop is drive thru only. It looks like they have 2 drive thru lanes around both sides of the building. There is parking around as well and a bunch of outdoor seating, in different areas, around including some spots with beautiful artwork next to it (an example is in the picture with the beverage). So unless it’s really busy, if you want to be able to sit by yourself and allow your coffee to kick in, it’s a beautiful spot to do it! I got an iced Mayan mocha, it is espresso, cinnamon, almond, vanilla, and milk. Absolutely delicious! 😍 such a good combination of flavors. The staff seemed very happy to be there and work together. I asked for a receipt, which the cashier didn’t know how to do, and someone came over to help the cashier and said “this is a great learning opportunity” which I thought really shows how good the staff is there!

The drinks here are wonderful! I recommend the Frozen Hot Cocoa or the Iced Chai Tea. So delicious! There's also a lovely shaded area in the corner with tables surrounded by roses. 😍

Decided to come try this location to grab coffee for the second time and was greeted warmly by David, who helped us in a timely manner. First interaction here was very lovely and the employees seem super friendly. It has been very pleasant and the coffee is very tasty! The drink pictured is an iced oat milk lavender latte. Definitely recommend you try it out!

Lovely atmosphere, there’s a little free library with books. The kids grabbed a couple while we waited in line. The area is clean and beautiful. Visited from Long Beach 🤍

Amazing iced matcha!! The friendly barista made me a custom flavored matcha. The service was amazing, and they have more flavors and varieties than most. Would definitely go again!

Nice little coffee shop with a cute outdoor seating area. The latte was really good—smooth and not too bitter. But the “Take 5” iced coffee stole the show. If you like peanut butter, you need to try it. Will definitely be back.

Screw Starbucks. This place is magical. 🧚🏻‍♀️✨ The unique coffee flavors they have here are amazing! Teddy graham latte is my favorite. 🧸💗 The outdoor area is decorated so cute. It’s perfect to just hang, soak up nature, study, and play with their giant chess board. I wish they were located in other places since I don’t live in Visalia and I only visit for family, but I make sure to treat myself with their delicious coffee! 😋😍 Highly recommend!!!

Love this coffee shop It’s a great place to come with family or friends. They have a patio area where you can sit, relax and sip on your coffee.

Great local coffee shop. Friendly staff, great service and delicious coffee. I usually get the iced Americano but lately I'm addicted to their chocolate cold foam. Good matcha, and iced Italian sodas. Delicious cold brew and lattes. Give them a try.

I come here often and never really cared to leave a review but, I know how much a good review can help a small business! Common Heart is an amazing coffee shop! All of the girls are amazing! Graci is my absolute favorite! I think she’s actually the manager but she’s always very kind and always has my drink ready for me by the time I pull into the parking lot! All the staff is great and attentive and so kind! The drinks are always delicious and the atmosphere is just perfect! Keep it up Common Heart! I hope to see more than 1 location this year!

Common Heart in Visalia is a charming coffee shop that offers both convenience and a delightful place to relax. Whether you’re in a hurry and need to use the drive-through or have some time to unwind, Common Heart caters to both. One of the standout features is the outdoor seating area, shaded by a majestic tree, providing a cool and comfortable spot to enjoy your coffee. Adding to the charm is a little free library, a wonderful touch that encourages a community spirit and offers something to read while you sip your brew. For those who enjoy a bit of fun with their relaxation, Common Heart has giant games like chess and Connect Four. It’s a great way to spend time with friends or family in a laid-back environment. Overall, Common Heart is a fantastic spot to grab a delicious coffee and take a moment to relax, whether you’re on the go or looking for a peaceful place to sit and enjoy the day.

it looks really pretty and interesting, but get something, then you realize it's pretty mediocre and nothing of notoriety. Staff is friendly, so it has that going for it

Cute spot with tons of spaced out courtyard seating. My friend played the giant chess game and the drinks were yummy. My 4/5 is only because the coffee drinks we selected didn't give the caffeine boost we would have expected my group.pf 4 said they felt no kick. The service was great and welcoming. I would definitely return here but more for the experience rather than the caffeine kick.

Fear turned into straight-up reality. My matcha curse strikes again. Hit up this spot craving a real deal matcha latte, no sweetener to keep those vibes authentic. What I got? The palest, most underwhelming sip ever, like it was ghosting the flavor. Poured it into another cup to investigate and boom, all the matcha powder chilling at the bottom, zero mix game. Bruh, whisk harder next time? Wouldn’t recommend for matcha stans.

Came here for the first time the other day on Father’s Fay because we saw the cute little garden area they had and thought it was so cute to get coffee and hang out. Our daughter was ecstatic when she saw that there was area of play. We ordered the tropical lemonade for our daughter, salted pistachio latte, and orange cream matcha which were featured drinks to “beat the heat”. Our order was brought to us within 10 minutes. Service was nice and friendly and ambiance was relaxed. First sip of the tropical lemonade had me gagging. It was waaaaaaaaaaaay too sweet. All you can taste is the syrup. We had to dilute with 2 cups of water and even still, it was too sugary! The salted pistachio latte did NOT taste like pistachio at all and the orange cream matcha did not taste like orange cream. Despite all that, the coffee and matcha still tasted delicious. We had to dispose of the lemonade. I’m bummed this place wasn’t what I expected, however, we did have a great time hanging out in their lawn/garden area. Would come here again because it is easy to get to as it is right by the freeway entrance. Just wish they had their drinks together.

Coffee is great. But they did not have any sugar, just sweeteners. Did not know the difference between sweeteners and sugar. Weird for a coffee place.

These drinks here are very good. Common Heart has a wide variety of drinks some even paying tribute to the old drinks from the prior location. They offer a nice 10% discount to your order making it way cheaper than corporate chains. My wife and I loved this place we spent an average of 12 dollars a day for both of us. We are saddened to part ways with this coffee shop. April 30th 2025 @ aprox 09:40 one of the staff members approached us accusing me of being rude to numerous members there. She went as far claiming I called a staff member stupid. Now reflecting back I realize that I was having a private conversation with my wife about a family member while waiting for our drinks. This conversation was very separate from common heart or the lady at the window. I had responded to my wife, "dude that's so stupid". It can be noted that the girl was visibly distraught from the beginning of the transaction. She eavesdropped on our conversation and thought we were talking about her. Another time that can be considered me being rude is one of the newer girls handed my the Mayan mocha (very good drink) that i usually order. It's topped with whip and cinnamon unless requested not to. The handed my drink with no whip or cinnamon I got upset that girl messes up on my drink every interaction with her. I go everyday so I would often try to avoid her but they are set up in a single tiny building with two drive through windows on each side so sometimes I would get her side. It became a common issue that this particular woman would mess up mine or my wives drink. Those of you who drink coffee know how someone messing up your daily coffee can make you feel. I was not rude i just stated that the coffee comes with toppings after the third time or fourth time wouldn't you be upset. If anyone even got this far in the review just be careful with private conversation in your vehicle they might think your are talking about them. Other than those two staff members the whole other team is awesome very happy people and friendly just rotten apples in the bunch that can spoil everything it's a shame. Goodbye Common Heart!
