The best coffee shop. The best doughnuts. Awesome setup, friendly staff. New owner Linda is awesome. Super happy to see opening a bit earlier & on Mondays!

Came for the donuts, stayed for the coffee, and might have abused the “short visits only” table rules.But in my defence, the terms for what constitutes a “short visit” were not clearly defined.

Cute little coffee place with DELICIOUS donuts and baked goods! Great place to hang out, do some work, or grab something to go.Update March 2024:They now offer Lady Glaze Donuts instead of Boxcar, and they are so so good! So many flavours, makes it hard to choose what to get! Love the aesthetic of the cafe too. :)Vegetarian options: Lady Glaze offers many vegan donut flavours, and they have alternative milks to make drinks vegan as well.

Only visit here if you have loads of time. I waited 14 minutes for a latte and I was one of only 3 people waiting in line. The latte was acceptable but had a bitter aftertaste. I was disappointed that the only apple fritters offered were vegan. Great if you're a vegan I guess.

?? CommonWealth Coffee is a gem in London! ??Absolutely loved the experience at CommonWealth Coffee. The service was top-notch, the atmosphere was cozy, and the breakfast was simply awesome. Can't wait to visit again! Highly recommended for a coffee and breakfast experience.

Stopped in for a delightful chai and a heavenly vegan Mocha Almond Horn doughnut dipped in dark chocolate. I stayed in and really appreciated the touch of serving chai in porcelain. Liked the spacious, cozy vibe - was a relaxing lunch! ?☕

Been here a few times. Only bought their donuts. And they were great every time. This is when they had an old supplier. Now they have a new supplier and it is so so much better. They look good and taste good. Can't wait to go back for some more. However....there is a 'However'....do everything humanely possible to refrain from buying the drink called 'Chai Tea Latte' firstly the name is wrong. Chai tea latte means, Tea Tea Latte. Secondly, it's made with some syrup and powder and god knows what else. It tasted bad, like a very chemically taste. I would be doing a disservice to myself to drink it, so after 3 sips I threw it out. Sad, I did not want to waste products or money, but the benefits to throwing it out were greater than the risks of drinking it. I will be going back tho and buying all the donuts in sight ?

The only good thing about this place is the interior decor/ambiance. They’re over priced and their coffee isn’t worth it at all. It tastes awful. The new Lady Glaze donuts taste horrible and oily, they’re even more expensive than Boxcar that they used to have!!

I had the pleasure of eating lunch this afternoon at commonwealth. I ordered the Avocado sourdough toast with arugula and Balsamic drizzle, an americano and a few doughnuts.The sandwich was delicious. The Avocado was perfectly ripe, there was a generous amount or arugula and the balsamic glaze added the right amount of sweetness and not to mention the sourdough bread light and not heavy. The Americano was the best I've ever had!! Hands down! But don't get me started on the donuts. They recently switched up their donut provider, boxcar was great but these new donuts from Lady Glaze are on another level!!! They have a variety of unique flavors for every donut lover.. whether you're gluten free, vegan or neither i grantee you'll find a donut you love. You can they use high quality ingredients. Worth every penny!The service was excellent!Commonwealth coffee needs to be on your list of places to try... you won't be disappointed.
