    Tomato soup with grilled cheese
    Vianca F.

    Commonwealth is just such a beautiful vibe, their food is really delicious and very home tasting. This location has a front and back patio with a chicken coop. The only small downfall is that they sit next to a car wash and you can smell some of the chemicals and car exhaust from the shop. But overall this is our spot for delicious brunch!

    Everything about this place is top-notch! The location is beautiful and charming, the service is wonderful, and the food was absolutely delicious. The Croque Madame was cooked to perfection and full of flavor, and the side salad was fresh and vibrant. You can really tell they care about quality in every detail. It gave me that special, perfectly satisfying feeling you only get at a high-end café. It has definitely become one of my favorite spots. I had a fantastic brunch experience and can't wait to come back!

    Great place to go for a good brunch! Left no crumbs on my plates and enjoyed a nice warm drink and pastry! The staff were sweet and attentive. The ambiance is lovely and definitely an aesthetic environment!

    Great breakfast tacos, and great coffee, they have a nice patio, the service is very friendly and patient when you are trying to decide what you want. This is a nice place where you can have a cute coffee date. Just keep in mind that the place can get busy and finding parking can be hard.

    It's always fun to try a new coffee spot I haven't been to yet, and I had the pleasure to celebrate my birthday here with my friends! Cute house with lots of outdoor front and back seating, but unfortunately since it was freezing cold, we had to sit inside. Seating was a little limited at that time, but we managed to find a large table for all of us! Super friendly service at the counter. And there was an array of yummy freshly made in house pastries behind the glass counter. I ordered a decaf latte with coconut milk & pump of hazelnut and an almond croissant. The coffee was STRONG, I had to ask for 4 more pumps of hazelnut lol I really enjoyed the toasted almond croissant- I'm a huge lover of almond paste. The rest of my friends ordered some breakfast croissants and they looked super deelish. The brunch menu offered on the weekends looked fabulous too. Afterwards we wandered outside, and in the back they have a chicken pen with the most beautiful rooster and hens. Met an employee who takes care of them and you can tell he enjoys his job and was happy to be there. : )

    I was excited to try this place out. When you arrive the restaurant itself looks quaint. You have to park in the back. We looked around for any indoor seating but there was none. There is limited space indoors. It was drizzling but the outdoor umbrellas kept us dry. There is a chicken coup outside and we hung out with a local kitty. I ordered a pastry, the veggie taco, and a cappuccino (this girl can eat). My friend ordered a vanilla mocha latte, three cinnamon mini things, and the veggie taco. I enjoyed my pastry and coffee. My friend enjoyed his pastry and coffee as well. He really wanted a caramel latte but they were out of caramel. The taco itself was a little bland and runny. It was nothing to get excited about. My friend didn't eat his since he didn't know it had egg. We were both expecting just vegetables. The place itself is nice. Nice seating outdoors. The decor is also nice. The person at the register has a nice attitude about her. There was another server who I felt came off as rude and she didn't want to be there. Either way it was a place I would come to for coffee and pastries, maybe. Would suggest to try it for yourself. The reviews seem very misleading since I didn't think this place was above average.

    French omelette with spinach and tomato
    Karina E.

    Such a cute place! Gave us autumnal vibes even though it was so hot outside. I would love to study here early in the morning though it did start getting pretty busy around 9:30 AM, you can tell it is a well loved place! The pastry we had was pretty good! A crossaint like thing with cream and fruit on top. The omelette was great and so was the breakfast crossaint plate. Great amount of food for the price! However, French press price is steep for what I know is not expensive. It was $8 for the French press, if it wasn't for the steep prices for just coffee I'd give it a 5 star!

    This is such a cute little place and I'm glad I took my out of town guests here. It's a house with not a large sign out front so you could drive past it like I did, but it's ok found my way around back where there is plenty of parking. There is space for everyone here. The house has plenty of seating. There is cute outdoor front porch seating, you may even get a visit from the coffeehouse cat if you sit here. Plenty of indoor relaxed seating in a low noise work area and back yard seating. The back yard is little bit louder as there is a carwash next door beeping all the time, some chickens and roosters. This outdoor area is fun and family friendly, total nice back yard vibe. My party had several differenet items and they were all delicious and everyone finished every last bite of everything; avacado toast, grilled cheese and tomatoe soup, chorizo crepe, tomatoe mozarella sandwich. But what really hit the spot and was a winner was the Campfire Cappucchino toasted hazelnut, butter pecan, with a dash of sea salt, so yummy! I really felt like I was drinking a smore at a campfire! All the flavors mixed together so well, lightly not over bearing but just enought to taste them all. It is seasonal so get there and try it now! 2 people in the party ordered and 1 other that didn't order went ahead and ordered it for their second drink. Try this place you will not be disspaointed. They have so many diff fun drink options and one where they add a totally cute little Texas truffle.

    This was probably my favorite stop in San Antonio over the summer. French bakery meets craft espresso meets backyard chicken coop-to-table? Unreal. I don't know how they manage that blend so well, but it was fantastic. The space was so refreshing and inviting and the items we tried lived up to our expectation. Would happily return.

    enjoyed the strawberry  banana  Nutella crepe with matcha latte!

    After Botanical Garden date, we ended up at this adorable coffeehouse! Great service & selection of coffee

    Avocado toast
    Fernanda F.

    It's been a minute since I visited Commonwealth Coffeehouse and I was pleasantly surprised by their new look! If you haven't been to this location in a few yours (like myself) you will be surprised by their amazing patio and renovated indoor. The new look is definitely more inviting and I really appreciate the new check-in area they created. The flow of the space is so much better and it looks similar to their Hemisfair location. But enough about the place, let's talk food! For my first time in some years I decided to go with their avocado toast, and wow! The food was prepared super quickly and the egg was cooked to perfection. It was filling but not overwhelming. I truly enjoyed every bite of it and can't wait to come back for another one! Also, if you are a coffee drinker I would highly recommend their cappuccinos. They are made just right and taste amazing! My only note for the team is to please include a changing table for babies in their bathroom. Their hemisfair location has one, and I just wish they also had it here. I came with a friend and her newborn, and she had to go to the car to change her baby which is obviously not ideal.

We were able to park, but I could see it being an issue during busy times. Seating/Ambiance: The indoor area is pretty small, with just a few tables. They also have some tables outside along the side, which is nice when the weather is good. It's more of a quick dessert stop than somewhere I'd plan to hang out for a long time. Cheesecake: You can get cheesecake by the slice or in individual jars, which I thought was a cute option. They have a good variety of flavors. We tried the Turtle cheesecake and it was delicious! Rich, creamy, and definitely hit the spot. Bonus: They have a loyalty/reward where after 10 jars, you get a free jar, which is a nice incentive if you live nearby or become a regular. One suggestion: My only complaint is that I wish they had a description of what's inside each cheesecake flavor. You have to ask about the ingredients/fillings for each one, which makes it a little harder to decide when there are so many options. Everyone's very nice. You select your cheesecake & then go to the end of the counter to pay. Overall: Cute little cheesecake shop with lots of fun flavors and the option to get individual jars. Parking and seating are limited, but the cheesecake is definitely worth a visit. Would come back to try more flavors!

I tried the limited edition raspberry black sesame (6$), cookies and cream (6$) and the space in picnic?

The meringue was such a nice texture and the berry brightness and lemon was wonderful. The raspberry was perfectly tart in contrast with the nuttiness of the black sesame. The cookies and cream were just average to me, nothing special. Service was decent and you get to keep the jars. They have one dollar off frappes M-Thrs happy hour (3-5 i think?)

It is a bit on the pricey side but given that I can spend 2-3+ hours here working in the evenings or weekends, I think is worth the price. They have chagaccino which I've found difficult to find elsewhere but it's a great alternative to lattes, although this one does have a shot of espresso in it. Today I had their Mayan Mocha with Almond milk and only half sweetened. It was pretty delicious but I do wish I left it sweetened haha I wanted to taste more of the mocha. I also have had their burritos. They are delicious and they have vegan cheese which is a plus for me. I've been wanting to try their tamales and thats probably on my next visit. Plenty of parking available. Lots of sitting inside and outside. The inside is spacious and breathable with a ton of comfy spots to sit. The tables have enough space to set up the laptop and notebooks along with food and drinks haha. I totally recommend this spot. The staff is always welcoming and friendly.

They were nice enough to warm the cookie for me, and it had that "fresh out of the oven" smell and gooeyness. They asked me if I wanted my drinks for here or to-go and I said for here and they still served me in to-go cups, which I thought was weird. The cortado was not my favorite. It was bitter and acidic and the foam was looking a little yeasty. The mocha latte also had very little flavor to it, tasting like hot milk. I had difficulty finishing both drinks. Later I noticed they were using What's Brewing beans, and it made sense. I know many folks love WB? coffee beans, as it's a bit of a local darling, but more often than not I don't enjoy cortados made with their beans. Dirty dishes and cutlery sat on a couple of tables long after folks had left. I don't want to make assumptions, because there WAS a designated staff member for cleaning/wiping things down, but maybe those two evaded her. There's a sign on the wall that says, "I'm not for everyone," and boy are they right. They also stopped playing one of my favorite Radiohead songs (right in the middle of it!) to play Teenage Dream by Katy Perry. Now while I'm not deducting stars for THAT (because that's just downright petty), I can't help but feel unimpressed by my most recent visit. At least the cookie was delicious. Perhaps a third visit is in order. As they say, third time's a charm, right?
