    Berry Fruit Tart
    Kayla N.

    While my dad was visiting, we came to Common Bond for coffee along with some sweet treats! All of the desserts were stunning to lookout and didn't even seem real to some extent. We ordered a variety of deserts and shared them. The lemon was unusual and not a lemon tart as we were expecting which was a bit disappointing. While beautiful, I wouldn't order it again. The almond croissant was by far my favorite with the fruit tart being a runner up. The cappuccinos were good and tasted as you would expect. All in all, this was a great experience with tasty desserts - I'll visit again for sure!

    Everything looks delicious and beautiful! Customer service is awesome but the drink and cookie I got was a disappointment! Double chocolate cookie was dry, and very hard!!! It would just break apart in small pieces of how dry and hitting table with it sounds hard!!! I expected chewy delicious chubby cookie but nope!! The chai latte was plain, no flavor!! Just milky!! The pictures are great but taste!?? Needs major improvements

    great place to host a shower!! Food awesome!! Staff awesome!! Service awesome!! Celebrate!

    This used to be a really nice go to anytime i visited family in The Heights, but recently both service, organization, food quality and cleanliness are really downhill. A very clear order was both delayed and wrong, with obvious lack of competency behind the register. Some of our party were waiting on beverages quite a while, only after asking finding out they were self serve. Icemaker was broken, and asking for ice from the kitchen brought attitude. After some of our party got up we realized we were seated on a table where the cushions were heavy with mold - not very nice or safe for our 10month old or our seniors. So - not a return anytime soon. Management needs to get revamped.

    very cute ambiance. love the playground next to it. service was friendly and kind. the food was tasty and their seasonal specials hit the spot.

    Food was bomb PERUuuuuugggg. Always a pleasure. Mom had a burger, sister and I had grits, niece got French toast!

    Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew
    Theo C.

    When we first arrived, I was kind of bummed to learn that breakfast ends at 11 on weekdays. I wish it was extended longer - but that's okay. The pumpkin cream cold brew was underwhelming. The coffee was good, but the cold foam had little pumpkin flavor. The cup was also not even filled to the top. The chocolate croissant was good, and my friend's flatbread was very delicious. Overall, a little underwhelming and not worth the price, despite friendly staff and a nice ambiance.

    I came here with a group of girls on a Saturday at 10am. There is plenty of free parking which is always a plus. When you walk in, you have to order at the counter which gives you an opportunity to look at all the delicious pastries they have available. They will then bring your food order to the table. There is a good amount of tables but I can see how it can quickly fill up if you were to go during their peak hours. I had their birthday themed latte which was okay but their Quesadilla Chilaquiles were AMAZING! I do wish they had been hotter though. I also had a Nutella croissant to-go and it was pretty good! I would definitely come back!

    If you get the app sometimes they give you a free drip coffee or latte. Used my free latte today!

    I come here regularly because it's close to our house but I haven't updated my review in four years. The pastries are always solid. The morning bun is delicious and the croissants are perfectly made, all of them. The coffee is on the better end of okay and isn't really my favorite. I have the app and they offered me a free latte so today I went and got an ice lavender latte and you know what? They've stepped it up because this coffee was delicious and enjoyable. Much appreciated for a long day of studying.

    I've heard so many good things about common bond but after trying it for the first time today I can honestly say I would never come back here. Not only were the pastries expensive but they just did not taste good. Service was fine. Location was clean but other than that I think this place was mediocre.

    Best shrimp and grits in Houston! Fast casual concept with bakery also Salad and sandwich combo okay - there were 3 salad choices but I couldn't understand the choices from the front person - I could only hear green salad and pasta salad. It would be helpful to have the options listed on the paper menu. The beef Sammie was overwhelming with too much sauce or mayo. I ordered side fries and that was good. I didn't understand the small medium and large tea sizes which the bartender puts for you in a plastic cup/ the tea sorta tastes weird - it has a lot of sugar. Not sure why they don't give you self service when they have the coffee like that. Also having different teas like regular would be nice. The indoor and outdoor seating was comfy and ample, it's just the music that bothered me. There was some loud dance music overhead and I sat by the bar area and I believe they were playing some other music in the kitchen or bar area, so it was very jarring and also noisy and not good ambiance for me. The oatmeal pie was delicious and highly recommended! The to go shrimp and grits had 7 large shrimps and tasty sauce. I would say that this was hit or miss depending on what you order and there are some major areas to improve.

    Southwestern Salmon Salad
    Ari K.

    I normally really like Common Bond and have over the years, but I do feel that the quality of the food has lessened after the expansion of the franchise. I got the Southwestern Salmon Salad with the dressing on the side. It was overall OK; the fish was excellent, but everything else I found pretty lacking. The pickled onions gave a nice snap. The roasted corn and the beans were dry and cold - I don't know if the corn being cold was intentional, but it wasn't as good as I had hoped. The service was nice and our food came out on time. We came in the later-ish evening on a Monday, so the atmosphere was pretty quiet. The patio is a good spot to sit if it's not too windy! I think it might've just been a one-off dish or something. Normally I get the Burrata Sandwich with the Brussel Sprouts which are usually amazing, so I'd definitely recommend those.

In the past they would bring out a bread basket, as a free appetizer like how some mexican restaurants bring out chips and salsa, however, they dont seem to do that here anymore. Service at the table was mediocre, our waitress took our drink order and on the way over, the waitress was spilling the drinks over the floor on the way to our table. After our waitress took our order, my gf did not get the mayo on the side as she had asked, and after we received our food, our waitress never came around to check on us, didn't refill our drinks or anything. The place was very loud, louder than visiting waffle house. I was trying to have a conversation with my gf sitting just across the table from one another, and we were having to literally yell at one another just to hear what each other were saying. My gf did state that the sandwich she ordered was a big sandwich, and was more than she could finish. Once we were ready to go, our waitress still hadn't been around to check on us. So I had to flag down someone else, to get us some to go boxes, and our check. Low and behold, when I was ready to checkout, the waitress appears out of nowhere, after all this time, I'm guessing because she thought she was going to get a good tip. I'm sorry, waitstaff only get a great tip from me, once and if they perform a great job duty, and this was not the case in this matter. Maybe, better luck next time, maybe Papas needs to hire better waitstaff worth hiring and keeping.

He asked our food order first. We had to ask him if we could get drinks first. 3) When we did order we watched our drinks sit at the end of the bar for 10 min until I had to go retrieve them myself. 4) The food was INCREDIBLY mid for it being that expensive. Undercooked potatoes, overcooked chicken, not a single person at the table of 4 adults had a good thing to say about their meal 5) It took 2 FREAKING HOURS with no one there. When I say no one I mean completely empty 6) Trying to check out and leave. Our server who was looking for an upsell told us he saw a cookie in the back that was ready to go. Thanks for telling our 3 small children that at 9:30. Reluctantly after telling him no several times it was awkward enough to cave. Cookie took about 20 minutes to come out. We had been there for over 2 hours at that point and we had to just get up and leave. If you go to this restaurant after reading this, you deserve the horrible experience you will certainly have.

We shared a bowl of the potato soup where we had no expectations and I thought it tasted pretty decent. But the real test was the entrees. Mr. Picky ordered the Fettuccine Alfredo with shrimp while I opted for Veal Parmigiana, and we each stole a bite from the other's plate. We reached consensus immediately that both dishes were well-seasoned and quite delicious, meaning we would return for more good food in the future. Seriously, we hadn't expected much when walking in and looking around, but were pleasantly surprised at the kitchen's efforts. We finished lunch with an order of homemade bread pudding and tiramisu, the latter of which in 2012 won a chamber of commerce epicurean competition 1st place ribbon. I wasn't there to judge that competition and have had better, but sincerely appreciated the moistness of the bread pudding. While the majority of diners were older and a more mature crowd, there's a lot to be said for value, and we thought the menu price was better than reasonable and I think a lot of people will discover this as a value destination, something we all appreciate.
