Common Bond Bistro & Bakery

A cute bakery with plenty of pastry, cake, and macaron options! The iced matcha and salted caramel latte were very good. Neither were too strong on flavor and we thoroughly enjoyed them. For pastries, we got one sticky bun and one pistachio croissant and found them to be good. The sticky bun was a little firm and texture-wise reminded me of a cinnamon roll with caramel sauce and pecans in place of frosting. The pistachio croissant was soft and chewy but lacked the flakey texture I’m used to with croissants. We also ordered breakfast: soft scramble and a breakfast bowl. The soft scramble was very good and I loved the baguette bread it was served with. Unfortunately, I felt the breakfast bowl was quite bland. While it had chili crunch listed as one of the ingredients, I saw only a few flecks and didn’t taste it at all. Perhaps the chili crunch can be changed to being served on the side so that the customer can control how much spice they would like for their breakfast bowl. Otherwise, we thought Common Bond was good and would visit again.

I cannot say enough good things about this location. Service was fast and friendly, the pastry and baked goods selection was beyond plentiful and the menu has something for everyone. We stopped in for lunch on Saturday and had a hard time choosing (everything sounded and looked so good) but ended up with a chicken Bahn mi salad which was hands down one of the most delicious meals I’ve ever had and my husband got the Texas Club and had zero regrets. He loved the sourdough bread it came on and despite the generous portion size finished every last bite but of course saved room for our iced lemon cookie. If you love lemon say yes to this lemon heaven treat. The vibe was lovely, the atmosphere was full of lots of natural light and nice decor and just enough tables for their high turnover. Can’t wait to go back to explore the menu and pastry case even more.

Would recommend and love to come again! I came for breakfast at around 9:30 (and another time around 10:30 am) during a weekend - not crowded. The shakshuka crossiant is a special dish: a bowl-shaped crossiant, with a running egg and tomato-based sause inside. Very tasty even for me who is not a fan of tomato-flavored dishes. It's like a pasta but with crossiant instead. The bottom of the crossiant won't be crispy because of the gravy inside, but it still tastes well with its buttery flavor. The egg benedict is so flavorful and delicious. It has the creamy milky flavor but not overwhelming. Kouign Amann is crispy and reasonable in sweetness. Matcha latte is great - there is a bit of sweetness instead of a strongly bitter matcha flavor, but the sweetness is not strong and just right.

Wow, this place succeeded my expectations! It’s not too often that you find a regular looking spot that does bakery so well! The two items that we got were amazing. However, I did like the kouign amann that we ordered a little bit more than the berry one due to the amount of filling inside. The textures for both pictures that we got were amazing, I would eat it with no flavor whatsoever whether it’ll be cold or hot. It’s hard to find a place like this. I’m glad that I tried it and I highly recommend it won’t be coming back in the future especially them having 50% off of their selected pastries one hour before closing!

Always love to come here to enjoy the good coffee drinks and bakeries. We are lucky as it still opens during this winter storm 😍. This time we really like the Chai Latte, Matcha Latte, and the sweet treat Entremet called “Espresso Martini”
