Solid coffee shop, breakfast offerings are tasty and the beans are good. Staff was friendly and helpful. The parking can be tight at this location, and I think I like the warmer atmosphere of their other locations a bit better as it gives them a better coffeehaus feel. I do love what they’ve done w the repurposed facilities here...a nice concept for sure.
Great food and a nice atmosphere, although a bit on the pricy side for order-at-counter. Having said that, the quality of the food was very high. Probably the best tasting eggs Benedict I’ve ever had, and I’ve had a lot, all over the world. The eggs were cooked perfectly. The pistachio croissant was really good, and my wife appreciated having soft- scrambled eggs as an actual listed menu choice. We’ll definitely be adding Common Bond to our breakfast rotation.
Latte was super good So was the matcha raspberry treat Super friendly staff Great amount of choices
It's a chill place on Saturday morning. You can have brunch with coffee and enjoy your life. There were a lot of tables in the store and also a lot of outside tables. But you know, the summer is coming in Houston, is so damn hot outside. I would definitely prefer to have my food inside the store.
Oh my gosh. Everything was spectacular. Flavor was so good and balanced. Textures were on point. Everything tasted fresh. I got the shrimp and grits! The Mac and cheese balls are a MUST! TRUST ME! the crunch was there and the flavor with the glaze in the skillet. The Brussel sprouts were amazing as well. Can’t rave about the food quality enough.

Delicious food and friendly staff! This is a small location, but it still feels cozy and peaceful. The staff are very friendly and helpful as well. Everything we tasted was flavorful, and I will definitely be coming back for more! The dining area and patio are wheelchair friendly.
I decided to move my home office to a LESS remote location this afternoon and try a different (and local) coffee shop. It was a great atmosphere with just enough background noise and music not to get bored. My latte was also tasty and although I didn’t order food, everyone else’s food orders looked tasty...I’ll have to return for brunch and mimosas!!! Lots of great patio seats on cooler days and a colorful and fun palette.
