Dine in options are mediocre and haven’t changed in years. Menu just stays the same. Coffee is okay. Hot tea is just a grocery store teabag so I wouldn’t waste my money on it. Bread and pastries are okay.

The most reliable thing about this place is rude service, at both locations. Every single time we have been there, there’s rude tone, eye rolls or some other display of attitude. 14th street location takes the cake for poor service though.

One of the best bakeries in North America (I am not exaggerating)! 😯
This bakery beats Zingerman's in Ann Arbor, hands down!👏🏆😃
The croissants and bread are top notch and you can taste the love and dedication, that goes into every baked good.🥐🥖🍞
Thank you to everyone at the bakery for being so nice and making every pastry the traditional way!🙏🙂

Probably the BEST ciabatta bread and rolls on the PLANET but I have to leave a comment about an employee named Ann. Around 1pm I was purchasing ONE bag of ciabatta, no need for a paper sack. She said in kind of a snotty way…”You cant do that” I replied but I dont want a paper bag…and she said….”you have to, the owner wants the logo out and for you to have a copy of our new menu”. I said I have 2 of them in my car already please, no bag, plus I’d like to not have so much waist. And she replied (and you cant make this up)”OK if you insist sir, I will take the bread out of the plastic bag and put it in the paper bag….SIR! Wow…no more ciabatta for me. My loss :-(

Can't remember exactly the pastries that we got but they were amazing. I believe it was Fig jam and pistachio Danish and the pear almond Danish. I THINK! LOL. Initially we thought they were pretty expensive and $6 a piece but my oh my mmmmm ... We also got the country sourdough bread. Came in a loaf. Delicious as well.. the coffee sweet cinnamon late was meh. But idk good flavorful coffee has been good to find lately.. All in all place gets a 5 from me. If we are ever in the area id definitely visit again

We stopped in yesterday for breakfast sandwiches, I was disappointed in the quality and price for the focaccia, sausage and egg.

Everything is very high priced at Common Good. That’s understandable for a bakery making everything from scratch with ingredient costs as high as they are now. However, for a $15 sandwich, the focaccia was very bland with no flavor. It could use some herbs or added flavor to it. The sausage was very greasy in the deli wrap and on the sandwich. It was ground instead of a patty or solid form. The only other ingredients were a bland egg and cheese.

To charge this much for there breakfast sandwiches that all range in this price range or higher you need to have better quality and add some ingredients. It was very basic, at least add a sauce or something to help the flavor. Avoid the ground greasy sausage.

Cute little coffee shop. The pear pastry was delicious! I wish there was a little more seating.

Meh, pretty expensive for mid coffee; pastry was fine, definitely nothing to write home about, there’s better nearby.

When you walk in you know it’s the real deal! Everything smells delicious! I had a Cubano, cherry and chocolate pastry, and tasted my friend’s turkey and pear sandwich and strawberry white chocolate pastry. All of it was amazing. Good to the last bit. I wanted to savor it completely. I had a very good coffee too!! I was a little nervous when the gal who made it said she doesn’t drink coffee, but despite her personal dislike of coffee she made a great cup!!! Yippee! I also have to brag on them, my second friend’s pastry had been slightly overheated rendering it a little tough, BUT they were so quick and kind to replace the pastry with a brand new one heated up PERFECTLY. I was genuinely blown away. I love bakeries like this one. The prices reflect their level of expertise and are worth it in my opinion. If I were a local, I’d be there at least weekly. Thanks guys for a great experience!

We were looking for a quick cup of coffee but couldn't resist the gorgeous pastries! We had two and bought two more to take with us. They were amazing. The coffee was great, too. The girls working were friendly and efficient. Great find!
