Bought two cups of coffee today and one croissant + apple danish.
The pastries were stale (how is this possible for a 4$ croissant?!) and the coffee spilled all over me as the lid isn’t efficient. This is the second time it is happening to me. I expect better when I pay 18$!

Their espresso is terrible now. This place used to make a decent cappuccino, it is not any better than Starbucks now.

I got a nitro. The lady taking orders was rude and made me feel uncomfortable while rushing me. Atrocious. Also, I asked what flavor of nitro people usually liked and gave a standoffish comment. Great coffee, but customer service is atrocious

The coffee cups at this place are a joke. The to go hot coffee cup literally collapsed it was so flimsy. Ruined my entire day with coffee running all over my leg. Really the worst hot coffee cup I have ever seen.

London fog was weak and the staff was not to kind to hippies.

Stopped in for a latte. Great flavor and friendly service. Indoor and outdoor seating, so we squeezed into an inside corner on a busy Sunday morning.
They sell their beans so you can try to make it at home, but stop in and let the experts take care of you.

I would love to give this place more stars based on solely the service and atmosphere of the shop itself, but the coffee was so bad. I intentionally opted for Commonwealth over somewhere else because it had the highest rating amongst the other coffee shops in the area, but I genuinely think I may have been better off getting coffee at the Whole Foods coffee bar. My brother got an oat milk cappuccino and I got an iced cookie butter latte with oat milk – the oat milk is watery and overpowered the cappuccino while lacking the expected level of foam. As for the cookie butter latte, I'm not sure if it's the cookie butter flavoring they use, but the texture of the drink is gritty and lacks the cookie butter flavor it promises. Overall, the shop is beautiful and seems like a nice place to study, but if you're looking to grab some good coffee and go like me, I would suggest trying somewhere else in the area.

I’ve only visited this coffee shop once and ordered an iced latte with oat milk, but I didn’t like it at all—the taste was odd. I’ve definitely had better lattes elsewhere, so I wouldn’t visit again.

Cute place, nice baristas. They have wifi and a few outlets if you want to work on the computer while there. I got an iced latte and it wasn’t bad but the coffee is a dark roast which isn’t my favorite. They offer military discount as well.

Easy five stars. You walk in, and with a the high ceilings, the white oak tables & bar stools, the bright corner windows and the seasonal decor, you get a really cool atmosphere. The baristas work carefully to make sure they get your order right. There’s an assortment of breakfast sandwiches and cakes such as :

1. Bacon egg croissant with herbs
2. Coffee cake
3. Breakfast bars
4. Chocolate filled croissant

Definitely recommend!
