As part of the Post Oak Hotel, you can access this place from both inside and outside entrance…read more This place is super cute and seems to have a fair amount of people who come here to work or place an order from an good assortment of pastries and gelato's. What's nudged this place up to 5 stars for me is they have really improved their coffee game, specifically their quality of cappuccino's. Previously it seemed more of latte, but now to me its a legit Capp. Their choice of pastries hasn't changed, which gives you a good assortment of choices and they have added an additional barista or server which also is a nice touch for service. The only niggling items, parking can be tough, so you'll have to either walk a block or be quick to find a place close by. Regardless, definitely give this place a go to come for a pastry and coffee.

Inside you will also find French pastries, coffees and teas, gelato, milkshakes, sandwiches and macaroons. I felt the most interesting items were the French pastries as they are cute and tasty as well. Also, they plate the pastries nicely when you dine in as an added bonus. I tried the Chocolate Royale and the Ruby. Chocolate Royale - a petit chocolate mouse slice with flat chocolate panels along the sides. It is delicate and tasty. If you're a chocolate lover, this is definitely up your alley. Ruby - visually this looks like a strawberry Hershey kiss, with red powder on the exterior and a top piece of foil to resemble foil on the wrapper of a hershey kiss. Inside, it's filled with a strawberry cream and has a chocolate base. I just wish there was more chocolate in this one. They have plenty of seating inside as well as along the sidewalk. Inside you have the more fancy tables, whereas outside, they're more weather resistant and not as upscale in appearance. The soft drinks to drink along with your sweets are in a cold case along the hotel side of the space and you just take them to the register as you order. One of the most surprising things when you come here are the relatively affordable prices as you might expect them to be more for being a coffee shop attached to a 5-star hotel with a helipad.

This Galleria location on San Felipe in particular is convenient for me because I have a friend that lives in the apartments that this location is connected to. You can't go wrong with any of their pastries here. My favorites are their almond croissant, kouign-amann, sticky bun, and so much more. Pair your pastry with one of their made to order lattes and you're in for a great breakfast treat. Thanks common bond for being consistently tasty, no matter which location you go to. Yes, their prices are on the higher side, but you do get quality when you come here. Enjoy!

Also beer and wine options. This used to be a Local Foods so it is larger than the other CB real estate options. Super spacious where you're not having to be right next to another table. It's very spread out and a bit busier around lunch time but still plentiful. There's also an upstairs seating area with maybe ~9 tables. Great for a little quieter. There was a group of ladies playing mahjong, love. There is free retail parking available in the adjoining garage, just a quick walk through the courtyard shared with the apartments, spa and other restaurant. Common bond isn't my first choice for coffee but for overall rating this is superb. Will be coming back when I'm in the area 100%

I stopped in today for a latte but ended up with a Dubai chocolate crepe. It was not overpowered with chocolate, perfect in my opinion. The chocolate ratio was great, even my dad didn't complain. The vanilla ice cream compliments it well. I also had the tiramisu latte, delicious! It's only a hint of the dessert itself, not too sweet. It might be my new favorite drink here.

Pro-Tips for the Budget-Conscious: - If you time your visit between 4:00 PM and 5:00 PM, all pastries are 50% off. It's easily the best deal in the neighborhood and the perfect excuse to clear out the display case. - Student Discount: Don't forget to flash your ID! They offer a student discount, which makes this a prime "study treat" spot. The Vibe: Seating is quite limited indoors, so don't bank on a large group table. However, they have a small outdoor patio that is lovely when the weather is behaving. It's a great spot to people-watch while you get your sugar fix. Friendly staff, aesthetic treats, and a massive discount if you play your cards right. I'll be back (probably tomorrow at 4:01 PM?).

In addition to the bakery items, they also had a nice selection of drinks and menu items available. I tried the strawberry matcha, and it was good. One thing to note is that it wasn't sweetened, but if you prefer a sweeter drink, you may want to ask for sweetener or add your own. For baked goods, I got the turmeric lemon tea cake, cowboy cookies, and oaty peanut butter chocolate chip cookies. Everything was delicious, and I loved being able to try such a variety of flavors. Another huge plus is that all of their bakery items are gluten-free, making it a great option for those with dietary restrictions without sacrificing taste or quality.

I was impressed by the array of healthy options and really liked the omelette customization although you can't for some reason do half egg whites and half egg with yolk. All my friends loved their regular croissants although one was less than impressed with her almond croissant . The one thing I hated was the latte. It was burnt and tasted like pure syrup.
