    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.

    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.

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

That being said, both times I've come here here I've gotten the seasonal pandana latte and it's been very good. I would like do come back and try the food but I'm not going to support a place that doesn't have accurate information online and has rude staff when you try to help them correct it.

    Wow. Where do I even begin with this review. I did not expect this quaint coffee shop nestled on…read morethe corner of a shopping plaza to really blow me away the way that it did. For starters I'd like to think of myself as a bit of a coffee snob. It's one of those things that I can enjoy a multitude of ways, but experiences that go beyond plain enjoyment are few and far between. When I tell you...this is the best quality coffee I've had in Houston I am not bluffing! I've had both the Cashmere and Jade coffee, both hot and iced and they absolutely never miss. The drinks coming out of this place have been consistently fire, so this isn't some one-off shop with a good selection or two. Menu selections are impeccable. Drinks are crafted to absolute perfection. Lines do tend to be long but service is never lacking. Staff is polite and efficient. Not to mention last time I went in there someone was vibing to all the Drake hits which further contributed to the "hipster quality coffee shop" feels (biased preference I know haha). I don't have a single complaint!!! Will absolutely be returning and would endorse this spot to any and everyone looking for quality crafted coffee drinks!

Some friends said the following about…read moretheir drinks: - Banana Matcha: too sweet - Golden kernel: too salty and doesn't really taste like corn at all. - Einspanner: the coffee used was too burnt but better after it was mixed - Cashmere: too sweet and a little smaller than the other drinks I had the Jet Black, which is a latte with black sesame foam, and I loved it, but that might be because I really like the roasted flavor black sesame in anything if my review were based only on my drink, I would have given this a 5, but taking the other drinks into account, it pulled the rating down.

    My beloved Boomtown RIP…read more This pains me to write. Different is certainly not always better, especially when what you had was already working. I much prefer the saying if it ain't broke don't fix it. To the people who bought this place, I know your motto is "different is better," but please stop taking that so literally. You do not have to change every aspect of this place to make it different. The best thing about getting your everyday local coffee is seeing the same baristas you've seen over and over again, familiar faces who know you by name. This was one of those places where I'd hate to admit how much money I've spent here, and I did it happily. In just three weeks, our beloved spot, one I would willingly drive out of my way for, has gone so far downhill that I barely recognize it. From the eyesore taco warmer that practically knocks you in the face while you're ordering, replacing a space that once showcased lovely things like fresh flowers and local trinkets, to the disappearance of the wonderful local treats from Sinfull Bakery that kids genuinely enjoyed. At first I thought maybe you were just out, but after three weeks it became clear that expenses were being cut across the board and those items may never come back. And where do I even begin. The new oat milk is terrible. It completely changes the look and taste of the coffee and is immediately noticeable. I won't harp on the change of hours or the change in flavor of your coffee beans, but I feel it must be mentioned because, well, it's noticeable. And now the cleanliness. Spilled taco sauce all over the floor, and when your kid points it out, you know you're in trouble at that point. Dishes piled so high they're overflowing, dirty restrooms. And to be clear, this isn't the staff's fault, there is simply not enough staff to keep up with these things. Never ever in seven years of being a frequent visitor has it been this bad. I also noticed the new coffee packaging, and it's just another reminder that the heart and thoughtfulness that once defined this place are gone. At this rate I half expect robots handing me my latte in a few weeks so you can save a few more bucks. And getting rid of Toast. Even if Toast was an expensive platform to use, it was legitimately so convenient. And dang, if you're going to do away with it, don't replace it with the worst possible ordering system ever, one that doesn't even work. Do you know how many orders I wouldn't have placed if it weren't for Toast? Toast made those orders possible when I didn't have time to wait. Without it, I simply wouldn't have ordered. I understand times are tough for many businesses, but you all were booming. The new online ordering system doesn't work. You may as well do away with it altogether because this one just isn't it. Honestly, I am devastated. You knocked it out of the park in every area, cleanliness, service, food. I never had a single bad item on the menu. The coffee was beyond. When my family moved out of the city a year and a half ago, I still drove 35 minutes one way just to get your food and coffee, over an hour round trip again and again. I don't think you understand how this new direction has driven this place into the ground in a matter of three weeks. Sadly all good things must come to an end.
