Common Citizen is a Michigan-based cannabis and lifestyle brand founded in 2017 by a group of engineers. The company operates retail provisioning centers that have historically featured a House of Commons coffee shop intended to provide a relaxed space for customer connection. While the brand is documented for its large-scale greenhouse cannabis cultivation in Marshall, it does not operate as a specialty coffee roaster. Coffee service within their retail locations is a non-core amenity designed to facilitate a comfortable environment for patrons.

Research disclosure — this profile was compiled from public online sources on 2026-10-25. This company overview is not a tasting review.
