Same ol same, they have some good pastries and offered samples, however the price for two croissants is was roughly $10! The prices are steep for a little sweet treat and I'm not too sure how this is supposed to be the norm when you can grab a dozen of some buttery flaky goodness croissants from a grocery store for less than that! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restraint is always clean and well put together, so it's easy to swing by when in the area.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

One of my FAVORITE fucking places EVERYONE! I've been a regular since they first opened prior to the pandemic. This place is the perfect student hangout (yes, you can charge your laptop). They are great for friend, family, and duo dates--there is something for everyone! We are regulars & love the $5 carafe nights on Sunday's-- our go-to!! No matter what food item we order it always is made with love & spectacular in preparation. The service is amazing & we love that many recognize the familiar faces--a community staple nonetheless!! read more

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! read more

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 read more

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. read more

Delicious food! Friendly service! Welcoming ambiance! My bestie and I had breakfast at this Location yesterday. It's very clean. The staff greeted us with lots of smiles and answered our questions about pastries patiently. I ordered a full breakfast with scrambled eggs, vegan sausage, sourdough toast and hash browns. It was delectable! I also had the peppermint tea, brewed with high-quality tea leaves. We ate outdoors and the patio was covered. Love this place! My kids enjoyed the cake pops I brought home. read more

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

When I am in the mood for dessert, this is definitely my go to place! I love their sticky buns and the classic chocolate chip cookies!

Love this place! Food and service are always amazing! Would recommend this place to all!

Unfortunately, I can't recommend Common Bond. The coffee is weak--my coworker and I both agree it tastes watered down with very little flavor. A basic turkey sandwich with Lay's Wavy chips cost over $17 after tax, which feels overpriced for bagged chips, bread, cheese, some veggies, and deli meat. I also ordered the mushroom goat cheeseburger well-done several times, but it consistently came out pink in the middle. I even called once and was refunded, then decided to give it another try, asking the cashier to ensure the cook knew I wanted it well-done--but it still arrived undercooked. Nothing is more frustrating than having to cook your to-go order at home because it was prepared improperly. For the cost and reputation, the quality simply isn't there. read more

Stopped in for a quick coffee and it was a fine experience. I wouldn't go out of my way to come here but it worked out in a pinch. Parking: It's in a shopping center so there was a lot of parking. That being said, I arrived pretty early and most of the other stores were closed but there was already a half full lot. I imagine there could be limited spaces available if you come during a busy time. Service: The service was fine. I'm assuming since it was earlier in the day everyone wasn't totally awake yet. I can't imagine things moving smoothly during a busier time of day Coffee/food: I had a soy latter with hazelnut. It was fine - average. For me it wasn't worth coming here for the coffee alone. The baked goods and sweets looked gorgeous but I didn't try one - I probably should have Design/space: The bathroom was a bit rough for what I would expect here. The toilets didn't really flush (I think one was clogged) and they were kind of dirty with some broken things. Overall the space was fine. There's tables and seats at the bar. Definitely plenty of indoor seating. There's also a cute outdoor area but it's way to hot to be out there. Also the tables out there were never bussed so trash was just sitting out there read more

Loved everything. Stephanie was amazing ! Her knowledge of the menu and expertise was out of this world !!! 10 /10 I do recommend!!!

Common bond has always been a go-to spot for pastries for me. While their menu can be a little bit on the pricier side, it is well worth it. Lots of parking in the lot with plenty of seating indoor and outdoor. Service is always friendly here and everything comes out in a timely manner! I tried their iced matcha latte for the first time today and unfortunately it was not the best matcha I've ever had. read more

This place is the best honestly . I love the pastries and the food is very good. only thing that's not my favorite is the chi tea lattes they're too sweet for some reason . But love that they have mimosas and [[HIGHLIGHT]]they have a cute outside patio which is very nice and dog friendly[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] . I love that you can also buy an entire cake there as well. read more

We stopped by here for a pick me up since we were both feeling tired. It's in the middle of a few other restaurants with a huge parking lot. As soon as you walked it, everything was clean and had a very calm vibe. If we weren't so stuffed we would have gotten the Nutella croissant. It looked absolutely delicious! The service was good and I'll be back one day when I need a break from work. read more

I've heard all about the hype and I'm finally glad I got to try it! Now I'm itching to go back. I decided to treat myself after getting some errands done. I went in on a Friday morning. Parking was plentiful. Outdoor and indoor searing. It was my first time here, so the worker recommended the blueberry muffins that just came out of the oven, so of course I went with her rec. Who can say no to a freshly baked pastry??? I also got a latte! I didn't dine in, but I'm looking forward to doing that next time. I'm no coffee connoisseur, but their coffee was great. Blueberry muffin though? HEAVENLY. I'm so glad I took the worker's rec because I'm actually still thinking about that muffin as I write this review. I told myself I'd only have half, but I ended up devouring the entire thing! All in all, super cute coffee shop with even better pastries. I'm looking forward to trying their other pastries! read more

Really enjoyed my visit to this little coffee shop! I got an iced vanilla latte and a brown butter chocolate chip cookie. The latte was great--the perfect balance of sweet, creamy, and bitter. It didn't taste fake like some vanilla lattes do. The cookie was amazing! It was huge and on the thinner side, so more of a crispy cookie but it had a huge depth of flavor. The staff was friendly and fast and the shop itself was comfortable and clean. read more

I feel like I've entered another slice of corporate America. Not of fan of the croissants, coffee is ok. They've spread throughout H-Town like some sort of invasive weed. If you're in need of a fix, too far from Magnol or a Minuti, this is your go to place. Bitty & Beau's is better. So are Boomtown, Giant Leap, West End Church, etc.... This looks like a modern day equivalent of La Madelaine (may it completely go out of business soon). Ok, ok... at least it's better than French Riveria on Chimney Rock! read more

This place was packed!! First time here and the food didn't disappoint. Only complaint was the wait time. We ordered to go and it took forever!! Staff were nice but seemed chaotic and overwhelmed.

I've been to another location and was not disappointed then and not disappointed here. The staff is always friendly and helpful The pastries are so good. The cookie oh the cookie. This has got to have brown butter in that chocolate cookie. It is perfectly sweet and crispy. The taste is so delicious. To drink, I had the Chai latte which was just ok. It was not hot enough and the flavor just kind of missed that jolt of vanilla. read more

Chefs scramble, grilled cheese, and sticky bun. Drink: matcha latte and soy latte $42 The sticky bun was first in my eye. I had to try it. The sticky bun was a little dry for my taste. I believe I was just hoping the consistency would be the same or better as Cinnabon. If you're into dry and sugary bread then this bun is for you. The only thing it pairs well with is some type of coffee or tea to lessen the sweetness. Matcha latte was good. It had a great strong taste of matcha. I'm glad balance between oat milk and matcha. Chefs special, The plate seems to be all home made and very well balanced in portion and taste. The eggs well portioned and mixed, the taste is consistent throughout. The hash brown looks solid and condensed but breaks off easily. The texture on the outside was great and reminds me of a better McDonald hash brown. The sour dough bread was fresh. The chewy texture with a great fluff really caught me off guard and was the star of the plate. Grilled cheese, was bread was definitely made fresh here in the restaurant. The sour dough was again the star and the simplicity was greatly welcomed. The toast was on point and would not cut up your mouth on the inside. Overall 5 star and will come again. read more

We have been super excited to try common bond considering it's just a walk away! It's a rainy day and saw "chicken pot pie" on the menu and thought it would be a super warming dish. Our meal came out from the kitchen cold and we had to send back to be heated. The "pie" is more of a deconstructive meal and tasted like broccoli cheddar soup with balsamic arugula on top? It was absolutely disgusting. Tried to make the most of it considering it was a $17 meal but ended up leaving a few bites in. I love trying fun dishes and new takes on food but this was a huge miss in my book. Will not be coming back anytime soon. Gave 2 starts because the $4 HH Frose was great! read more

Food is fine, but definitely overpriced. Drinks are pretty awful. The chai is watered down and barely tastes like anything.

I went here with my sister for coffee on a Sunday morning. This location is more of a to go location; they have a drive through, a few tables inside, and a few tables on a covered patio outside. It's really cute but pretty small. My sister and I each got iced lattes with different flavors, a vanilla scone, and a chocolate croissant. They asked if we wanted our parties warmed up and we said yes, but they still weren't that warm. The chocolate in the croissant wasn't even warmed, just the outside so it was kind of like biting into a (soft) stick of chocolate. It still had good flavor though. I got a bag of challah rolls to go and have been using them for sandwiches for lunch this past week and they are really good! Not the best challah I've ever had but pretty solid. I don't live in Houston but my sister does so when I visit, I like to try new spots but I'd be down to come back here or one of the other common bond locations! read more

Came here on a Sunday around 1pm and it wasn't as crowded. Ordered pretty quickly and there is plenty of seats/tables. They also have outdoor seating. Our friends ordered the chicken sandwich and swear by it. They enjoyed the coleslaw in the sandwich which added a nice texture & flavor. My husband and I got the Lox Tarine, Almond croissant & a chai tea latte. The croissant is a signature and worth trying if you like almond and croissants. The chai tea was good, but not to die for. I have had better! My husband loved the Lox Tarine. It's actually pretty big and the salmon was fresh. Definitely come enjoy some treats & food if you're looking for a nice brunch spot. read more
