Keep it cool this Summer!

We have ice creams and smoothies to keep life chilled outside on the terrace or taken down to Union Terrace Gardens.

And better yet, they are all Vegan!

Stick with us out on the Sunshine Terrace to bask in the sun, why not be a bit decadent and enjoy an affogato.

Coffee, ice cream and sunshine = paradise!

Put down your rolling pins and pick up our latest signature Espresso Martini inspired by production of The Great British Bake of Musical at HMT from May 20th - 23rd 🧁🍩☕️🎭✨

Our Dark Choc Toffee Espresso Martini melts dark chocolate directly into the espresso, giving a rich smooth sip, with a rim of toffee & crushed biscoff providing the perfect crunch.

We are certain Pru would approve, but will it pass Paul's muster? YOU will have to be the bake-off judge of that!

The greatest pre-show does exist, and it is here at Common Sense!

Welcome to the Common Sense Art Wall 🎨✨

For this exhibition we have reached out to .abd in search of our next exhibitor, and they came back with a whole host of fantastic and unique artists!

Ahead of their degree show 6th - 13th June, .design .by.design have brought in to display just a taster of their pieces. Each so distinctive and mix of styles and disciplines, their showcase is a vibrant addition to our cafe.

Their pieces are for sale. The pieces displayed on the wall are the original designs and will be delivered in their frames as shown. Additional prints can be provided either as unframed or framed.
