Common Bond Bistro & Bakery - Medical Center

This cake is incredibly rich, smooth, and silky, everything you want in a chocolate dessert. The ganache has a luxurious texture that melts beautifully, and the flavor is deep and satisfying without being too sweet. Truly a standout treat and one of the best chocolate cakes I’ve had!

I love Common Bond but also learned to keep it to pastries and drinks (coffees, lattes, teas).
Ventured into on-breakfast territory and had their cheesy grits (nope nope). You can see the yellow, but there's nothing cheesy. Wanted to ask for even milk to just juice it up a bit! That was not the business. Then they had shoestring fries, which i only orderedr bc i saw someone with it. And of course looked goood. But each fry was so tiny. Ended up using a fork bc it can only be eaten as a unch or else you're feeding a baby.

Anyway like I said the breakfast is where it's at for mee. The pistachio croissant!?! Heavenly.

This location seems to be older, I'm used to the newer locations so this location wasn't as inspiring. And so cold - idk maybe it's me. Anyways ample seating which is good.

Oh yes! The wifi doesn't work! I kept getting kicked off!
No Bueno (or else it was just my laptop).
Overall spend: $18 | croissant (pictured), side of 'cheesy' grits, shoestring fries.

The service this morning was downright rude and unprofessional. My husband went in to purchase pastries, and the woman working treated him with complete disrespect. She repeatedly turned away from him while he was trying to order, then snapped at him because she hadn't heard the full order, even though it was her own behavior that caused it. Her hostility and dismissive attitude prevented us from getting our full order, and she made the environment so uncomfortable that my husband left without ordering food we had planned to buy. No customer deserves to be treated with such blatant rudeness. Management seriously needs to address this behavior, because it was an unacceptable way to be treated.

I came here twice for the pumpkin cream cheese croissant, and both times they didn’t have it despite it supposedly being on the menu. What is even the point of advertising it then. The pastries they do have are good though, and the atmosphere is clean.

The Common Bond location in the Medical Center is a solid choice for a great meal or a quick bite. The menu offers a wide variety of options, from delicious pastries and coffee to savory brunch and lunch dishes. It's a popular spot for both locals and visitors, and the friendly staff and inviting atmosphere make it a pleasant experience. Be prepared for it to be busy, especially during peak hours.

Big shout out to Candito and the crew at Common Bond Holcombe , latte and pastries are the best but the real thrill is getting greeted with friendly smiles and great warm sincere attitudes . I always leave smiling , and with probably too many pastries !

I have not had a single good experience with this company. The pastries are always cold, they can 'warm them up' with a cheap non-commercial toaster oven certain items are consistently unavailable, the coffee is unremarkable (especially if you are a true coffee drinker and not a heavily sugarized and coffee drinker) and the service is basic.
