I ordered one of their lunch box cakes which is a 4 inch two tier cake that fits inside of a take away box. I asked for a cute design with two bears on it and boy did she deliver. The cake itself was adorable but also delicious. Because I mentioned it was for a birthday she even included a little candle. We had a small mishap where she got the date of when I needed my cake by wrong so when I went to pick up it was not ready, but Hannah was able to deliver me my cake later in the day and even refunded me! Her pricing is written on the website (my cake was $25) but depending on the design there will be an upcharge. I can't wait to order from her more in the future!

TLDR: Worth a visit if you're in the area?…read more Wow! Hidden gem? Forgotten favorite? I don't know, but after tasting the food, we have to get the word out about this spot. Arriving around lunchtime on a weekday, I had the place to myself which allowed me a unique opportunity to take the place in. That being said, this spot is not overly French cafe themed, but instead a classic suburban strip mall spot with nods to the French peppered throughout the menu and decor. The booth area is well-designed, the spot was clean and the table touched by light so after a great experience chatting with the cashier I was crossing my fingers, hoping the food matched the vibe. I had a crepe Mexicana (because who has ever heard of that?!), a croque monsieur with tomato soup, and a dessert crepe because y'all know I always save room for dessert. It took a minute to be prepared, but I'm willing to wait for a fresh made meal. Everything, was delicious. Crepe texture was on point, and each crepe was stuffed to the Gods. Positive experience all around. My tip: Order the tomato soup and finish your meal with the following combo- a dessert Crepe Almonds with strawberries. Trust me on that one!

It's okay, I wouldn't go out of my way for this place, but it is cute enough for Instagram pics.read more

There are plenty tables and chairs for large groups. And sofas ( not in good condition at all... but sofas .. yes)... ya... big ones length wise. Pretty noisy actually. Good noise. Cheering, sharing while chilling over drinks and pastries, kind of noise. Have been craving for fries lately and when I saw Common Bond, was very excited but they didn't carry the thick truffle fries which I was so fond of in the other Common Bond. Still, it was good fries and the staff was very friendly.... many high schoolers doing a summer job so they are super nice. They have a rewards program running - once registered, $spent is $earned in points which can be redeemed later. Staff was friendly and seemed like some of them were high schoolers or sort of, doing summer jobs so they were extra courteous and cautious - it was very much appreciated The fresh pastries were inviting and they had a big menu of other eats too. For me Common Bond and their specialty small dessert cakes went hand in hand. And this bakery did keep up that reputation- they had some sumptuous looking mini cakes. Definitely worth a visit.

You know, it gives gourmet without being pretentious. The bakery alone puts Common Bond in this category. If you can resist dessert order from the display case, I'm not sure you're human! The visuals and smells are always inviting, but the execution is not consistent. This time, in addition to my savory picks, It's been awhile so I thought I'd revisit my Common Bond review. This location is such a score for City Place. The only caffeine dealer apart from Starbucks walkable from the plaza, it's easy to see why patrons choose Common Bond.

The lemon bar and the croissant are a different story. I only took one bite of the lemon bar (wich I love) and it tasted like soap. The croissant was dry and was lacking flavor. Overall coffee is great but the pastries are lacking. I did take the lemon bar back and got an Oreo bar and it had the same Flavour as the lemon bar so I did let them know and left it at that.

We also got the fairy water for the baby girl. (She loves it) The grilled cheese and soup is so tasty and comes out hot which is also good for a soup. The portions (Caprese sandwich and mushroom sandwich) were so filling but we ate it all, even the accompanying salads.

Yes the lady sells desserts out her apartment. But still decided to give it a chance because it's a black business and I know it's hard out here. Then I finally open the bag and unsatisfactory wasn't even the word. I'm dissatisfied because I paid $8.75 bucks for the SMALLEST slice of cheesecake I've ever purchased. It was FROZEN SOLID!! Which makes me question if it's store bought Not only that I paid another $2-3 for strawberry topping that came in a rusted jar. Which makes me questions what the inside of the apartment look like. Only thing I say was good was how nice she was. Though after eeing what I bought her tactics are more of a dirty car salesman! She came out took my payment first then went back and got the dessert I guess so I couldn't change my mind after seeing the bs! I drove 30+ minutes trying to support a black owned business and left feeling PLAYED!!! Unbelievable
