Get the oatmeal cream pie sandwich. It’s the eBay I’ve ever had! The cookies are great and have that great, strong ginger taste. The cream is the perfect amount of sweet. The frose is delicious. Mimosas are lovely. The breakfast is good. The iced chai lattes could be less watery but every thing else is fabulous. I typically get the biscuits and gravy and a side of bacon. The gravy is tasty and the biscuits are soft. The brussel sprouts for dinner or lunch are so good! The pork in it is tasty and the sweet glaze is the perfect addition.

The high ratings are surprising. This location seems pretty run down (picture of the ragged booth seats below). The walls behind booths were visibly covered in dust and dirt marks. For $$ breakfast the atmosphere was very flat and fairly filthy.The food was not thrilling. Breakfast sandwich sausage meat was overly salty and seemed like they just popped it in the microwave before serving. Pastries are decent but can be dry.

Actual Star rating 4.6.So I get the French toast w/bacon and strawberries. Eat some of the French toast by itself, meh. But Im a trekker so I keep trudging.I figure out the way the meal was intended after I fork some bacon, a strawberry, and then some French toast. Woah! MAJOR game shift. This is it! Savory, sweet, chewy, crunchy, cool, and warm all cooperating with perfectly conjoining hands like a symbol of world peace.Please go and be enjoyed. Get you a window seat. So people can see you smiling whilst eating.Bon Appetit!

I was very put off by my experience here. The location on Westheimer is much more friendly, but I live just down the street so I thought it would be convenient.When I walked in there were a few people sitting at tables but it wasn’t incredibly busy. I waited at the register for a few minutes for someone to greet me or acknowledge that I wanted to place an order. When someone did arrive he asked for my name, then asked if I was picking up. I said no but I would like to place an order, and asked if that was alright. He said it was but then he made a comment about how it was difficult to watch the register and do everything else. I ordered a croissant and an iced americano.The second issue I had was when I asked for a “splash of cream” (in my mind a one second pour), the barista poured 1/4-1/2 cup of cream in! My picture is not of an iced latte; an iced americano should definitely not look like this unless requested. It was in drinkable so I threw it away. If you like your coffee with a splash of anything, be specific about your quantities - lesson learned. That being said they do make lovely croissants and other pastries so if you want a nice treat, order pickup.Overall, very little hospitality; definitely will consider other options for a quick coffee before returning.*** I am looking forward to giving this place another chance since the manager is so sweet, and I genuinely had a wonderful impression of the other location.

Food here is so good! We had the Tomato & Burrata, the Nashville Hot Chicken and the parmesan fries. They were out of brussels sprouts which was a let down as it is one of my favorite things here.

Ive been to most of the locations and this one stays true to common bonds reputation. After the expansion, there is much more space to sit and eat with counter space as well. The artichoke dip was delicious and definitely a good sharing portion for 2. Their macarons and desserts never fail to disappoint as well!

Wonderful to have 2nd location next to my house.

Delicious Shrimp and Grits and Quiche Florentine

Great pastries and food. Biscuits and gravy are heavenly. Highly recommended.

This place was not what I was expecting when we read the menu. As we walked up I knew I was overdressed. Its a counter service bakery. Dress as casual as you would like for this one, but dont expect casual food. Yes, they do have wine. We had the restaurant weeks menu. To start I had the Roast Cauliflower Tartine. It was very good, but my wife had the Sweet Corn Bisque...OMG it was awesome. The Bisque is sweet whereas the Tartine was more savory. So theres the main difference. For my entree I had the Beef Bourguignon. It was just delicious. The beef was so tender and the gravy was full of flavor. I chose the three macaroons for my finisher. I chose sea salt caramel, lavender and white chocolate, and the last one I went out on a limb - fig and goat cheese. All of them were good. I cant leave a bakery without a brownie, so I got some of those too. Im so happy we came here. Highly recommended.

The chefs ingredient choice were great! The tamale benedict sauce was dank♡

普段は平日かつコーヒーしか頼んだことがなかったのですが、先週のブランチスペシャルのビーフストロガノフの美味しさに感動しました料理の味もよく、ドリップコーヒーはおかわり自由なので週末のあの混み具合は納得です。

The best pastries! One of my favorites is definitely the pistachio croissant! Always love visiting any one of the locations!

So dangerous to have a Common Bond so close to me.. I walk in and I want all the pastries!! Especially the croissants! They didnt the location much from when it was Eclair Paris - just added some wood to the counters and thats about it. The dessert selection is pretty much the same from the Montrose location! Theyre clean, pastries look fantastic, they serve a small menu of regular food items and there is a small sitting area on the interior and a few tables exterior as well. I got my stuff boxed to-go so this review is solely on that and not the dine-in/food experience.I got the chocolate croissant - it was a bit rich and chocolately but Im not complaining. We also had the almond croissant and the Boston Cream muffin thing.. Almond croissant was delish, the bf said it tasted a bit like fake almond extract - but I liked the flavors. Both croissants were flakey and delicious (though I was a fan of Eclair Paris and thought theirs was better - lighter and flakier and more buttery). The Boston Cream was ok - the bf really liked it. It was filled with a vanilla cream and a chocolate cream, with a crumbly chocolate topping. We also got the chocolate walnut cookie and it was soft and a bit too doughy. Overall, a good addition to the Med Center because Holcombe lacks good places but its starting to come around with the new restaurants opening up here. Lots of parking in the lot Common Bond is in cause its a strip mall with CVS.

Good Coffee!! omg I love their esspresso in here. recommended. is much better than starbucks honestly

Im thankful this has become a neighborhood staple. We take weekly walks to grab multi grain bread and delicious pastries

Cafe food... my preferred treat. The service was very helpful and observant. This place has positive reviews for a reason.

Very polite staff, delicious chocolate chip cookies, and a pretty good cappuccino. The dulce de leche macaroon was not very good. Unfortunately it is more expensive than Starbucks, but the pastries here look a thousand times better.

Cafe food, yeah, so delicious. Arrived at seven, it wasnt crowded. Definitely worth going back to.

Cafe food and service at this spot is very good. I was super full. The service was very friendly and attentive.

New to the area and weve been here twice. The first time we got a fruit tart, the second time a pistachio croissant. Both were phenomenal, looking forward to coming back.

My go-to for a a perfect latte. And their pastries are incredible! The almond croissant is a favorite. Super fast service, as well.

Great pastries and food. Not good for studying/working. Lack of wifi & plugs.

Wonderful! The staff was helpful and courteous. The food was outstanding. The Nutella croissant was unbelievable. That could be your whole meal with a cup of coffee. iIf you get the French toast and bacon and youre not a big syrup fan ask for the syrup on the side.

It was great? Cashier was very nice food as always

Food quality 2 to maybe 2.5 stars soft scramble was more liquid than anything (I know its a soft scramble but its not supposed to be egg soup) $12 if you add bacon avocado toast was pretty much just toast with a thin layer of avocado paste and sprouts on it very sad for the $12 entry fee.The drip coffee was actually quite good and the pistachio croissant was amazing! But $5 for a croissant is pretty steep and quite frankly while amazing no better than HEB bakeryService was good everyone very friendly and helpful but took about a half hour to actually get our food, to be fair they were quite busy. Over all Id give three stars taking everything into account. But I probably wont be back and cant say Id reccomend it based on this experience.For the price Id go to the Dandelion cafe off Bellaire and Bissonnet maybe not as many pastry options but food is reliably excellent and much better portions for the price (their avocado toast is piled high), fantastic coffee and treats, staff is always super friendly and efficient in my experience.

Service needs major improvement at this location. Your food and beverage comes sporadically. Either you get your food 1st and the coffee takes forever or the inverse. The staff doesnt seem to know if you have received your complete order or not. This occurs even when there are only 10 customers there.

Excellent place for delicious Cafe food. Bring your hunger - portions are large.

Quick in, quick order, the biggest selection of pastries, the best coffee, allowed substitutions.

Common Bond has been my favorite coffee shop in all of Houston since I moved here many years ago. This was my first time trying this new location and Common Bond continues to exceed my expectations. All of the sandwiches, desserts, and coffee that weve tasted is phenomenal!

Very clean and friendly. Pastries and food are top notch. Can’t miss!

1st and foremost, service was impeccable, especially Alex and George! Food and beverage presentation right on point. Not to take away the texture & taste to satisfy any palate!!!

Once you finish eating, wish I start my meal over again
