Met a friend for a coffee at the Common Bond Montrose location though after seeing all the baked goods and pastries on offer, I ordered a kouign amann, which is basically croissant dough baked in a round tin that creates this amazing caramelized bottom that is then flipped over when served. Incredible! Also ordered a chocolate chip walnut cookie that was thick and chunky. Another hit! Went in without thinking of food and ended up eating sweets… there were so many other gorgeous looking pastries that I’d like to try next time as well as the massive sandwiches and salads that others around us were eating. Very positive experience. Highly recommend
I went there for brunch and I like this place.
Exposed brick decor with downtown vibes.
Plenty of seating options. They are known for their bakery but I had a hotplate full breakfast.
The croissant pistachio wasn't to my likening.
Looooove this spot with fresh, delicious pastries and traditional breakfast dishes with a little extra. I had the soft boil with French bread and bacon. The eggs were perfectly prepared and the bacon was extra crispy as ordered. The morning buns dissolve in your mouth.
The hot chocolate was a bit too sweet, but everything else was great. We took the Mushroom and Goat Cheese flatbread, hot chocolate and coffee.
One of the best bakeries of Houston (and there are very few). Everything is good, the pastries are great (I love the pistachio croissant even though for some reason I do not taste the pistachio but rather a frangipane. Maybe the nomination should be changed ? It is more of an almond croissant to me). Anyway everything is well made, reminds me a bit of France and I like it. Would go again!
A good choice of breads and pastries.
I ate a Bahn Mi chicken salad, and it was tasty.
The lemonade was a little too sugary.
Food came out fast.
It does get crowded.
The food is delicious and fresh. The environment is nice and quiet. All the staff is friendly and attentive. I got the smoked salmon croissant, and the mix of flavors is perfect. The cappuccino was also great.
Came here for breakfast, was slightly disappointed. Coffee and presentation were a 10/ 10, however the food was ok. Considering the price I expected it to taste a lot better. Got the eggs Benedict, but my biscuits kept falling apart. My brother got the strawberry French toast which he rated 5/10, he's an avid French toast lover and said he's had some that are much better and cheaper. The Chef's scramble was probably the best thing we got. Was worth coming to once but will likely not be back. Customer service was excellent though
Great scones; we had health nut and orange cranberry. Blueberry muffins and croissants were really delicious too.

They definitely have a big selection of baked goods for you to choose from and they establishment is very clean. Even the bathrooms. The only thing I would have an issue with is the parking but even if you choose to eat outside its quite scenic.
Upscale pastry and coffee shop
The bright and airy interior with its array of pastries is highly aesthetic but the pastries themselves are just OK, especially considering the premium prices they go for.
Their matcha latte is pretty good.
We stopped in for carry out and coffee. The service fast and the pastries were delicious. They offer samples that encouraged me to buy more. I look forward to going back soon.
My goodness! I have no words to describe the meal I was at the Westheimer location on Saturday and ordered shrimp & grits. Let's just say I dreamt about it and had to go back on Sunday to order the same meal.
Listen, when the menu says, "shrimp & grits" that's what you get!
I have been to other restaurants and had to do a treasure hunt to find the 🍤 in my meal.
On Tuesday, I went to the Holcombe location and ordered the "fall greens and tomato basil soup." My God, I'm speechless almost made a grown woman 😢. I also ordered Honey Lavender cheesecake.
Kudos to the chef and the entire staff. You guys are on speed dial😋😋😋
Very Efficient service by this restaurant's crew...from ordering to paying to delivering your meal at your table..... I was extremely impressed with the cleanliness of this restaurant as no table went unclean as soon as the diner left...KUDOS..
Food was excellent in preparation and taste...prices are reasonable also...
Indoor and Outdoor Dining is available, ample parking is provided via their parking lot...
Give this place a try, as for me, they'll get to know me on a first name basis eventually.
Fabulous place thats been everyone's favorites for years 😊
Their pastries are 👍👍 as is their ever changing fusion menu
Their coffee is more authentic and closer in taste!
Needed Southern fare with a healthy twist - shrimp n grits topped with greens & parmesan delivered hearty meals with a little less guilt.
I'm a regular customer because after so long, they keep the amazing quality, customer service and atmosphere. I really appreciate the attention of Edgar, Francisco, Mathilda. Fantastic team work, service and attention to details. Incredible coffee every time!
