I'm shocked and appalled I haven't been here sooner! When my husband suggested we come to the Common for breakfast during our stay-cation, I was 1) surprised he picked a place and 2) that none of my friends had already recommended we give this place a try. We did however make the mistake of not making reservations before coming on a Wednesday morning after 10AM and know better for next time. Their menu is very unique with bold flavors and it worth a thorough look over before sitting down. Make the most of your wait time and really read it over, and ask if they are also serving lunch as well, which will further confuse you in your decision-making process. After looking at their pictures here on Yelp, I was firmly decided on their caramel hot latte while my hubby wanted to try their iced pistachio coffee. To me, my caramel latte was a the clear winner when it not only came to presentation, but the TASTE as well! Delicious down to the last sip! I tried to lick the inside of the mug once or twice, but didn't want to further endure the looks my husband was giving me across the table. For the main entree, I decided on their Croast, which is fairly new to their menu. This is a croissant with a poached egg on to, smothered in a cream mushroom sauce - what's not to love?!? This dish was fabulous! The depth of flavor and savoriness far exceeded my expectations of the portion. The portion isn't huge for a reason, and allows you to take in every taste your tastebuds can offer. My husband's breakfast sandwich was simple and yet packed a surprising punch with their bacon jam. This is a sandwich not to sleep on! From the staff to the vibe to the food and their other patrons, this place is a much needed gem; support local and get your breakfast here!

A local brunch favorite for us. The eats are consistently delicious. The hummus is some of the smoothest that I've had and the Spanish potatoes are a must - crispy and perfectly salted. Today I tried something different, Pastrami Hash and Egg. It was really delicious. I've yet to try anything that wasn't delicious. The staff is also friendly and patient. So far, the only con is that the place is small so there's usually a wait, but the food is totally worth it.

Love The Common. Delicious food, been here many times now and the food is always excellent. The service is always great and pleasant. The tables are nicely spaces so you never feel jammed up against other people. I will always recommend The Common to friends as a great place for breakfast for lunch for great food and value.

Originally, we were going to a diner but the prices were higher than we'd like and upon looking at the menu here, we thought the price was reasonable and the dishes looked good. We had the in a skillet- three poached eggs in sweet chili sauce with onion, potatoes, tomatoes, corn, cotija cheese, sour cream & grilled pita ($17). The description sold me on the dish. I found it to have a great acidic flavor and I think it was just missing a savory salty piece to the dish. I would've ordered a side of something to go with it. I wanted to try the sausage and grits. Upon sitting down, it wasn't on the menu so I had a delicious Croast ($15). it worked really well together. With the first bite I had a zesty acidic arugula, warm croissant, with flavorful mushroom and sauce. The truffle tapenade wasn't really needed or made enough of an impact. We'd definitely come back and try their other dishes. The place is small and gets packed really quickly. We got there shortly after 8 AM on a Sunday and it was already filled with local. I would recommend parties of 1 to a max of 4. It's a great local spot to have a nice hot breakfast.

First time at the common for brunch, it was not too bad actually. The portion was good for the price and the food tasted good. My favorite out of all the dishes was the chicken live mousse, if your taste buds allow you to, TRY IT! All the dishes will be in the videos, sorry I can't remember all the names! The service is friendly and quick! And I really like the vibes here, please note this place is small, so, there will be a wait since they do get busy. Happy eating :)

Delicious food and great service with kind attentive staff. Upbeat music and clean space

Really wish I understood the hype for this place. It's good. It's not the best breakfast, best lunch or brunch. It's yummy. It's a tight squeeze at all the tables. It always has a wait. Not sure why. The Spanish potatoes are delicious and they serve a good cup of coffee.

I have never been so sweaty while eating brunch. It was very warm inside the restaurant when I went. It wasn't too crowded when I was there, but we were waiting for the check for a bit after we finished. What really matters is that the food was served hot and fresh and the portions were pretty good for the price. An enjoyable brunch spot overall.

I finally made it in for a late brunch, I've tried a couple times but since they close at 3:30 I kept missing it. I got a grain bowl with some veggies and sunny side up eggs. I did ask for yogurt on the side to add in because it was a bit dry but once I did that It was perfect. The yogurt that came with the potatoes was delicious and I couldn't get enough. It's definitely the best option for an appetizer or a side to split with a friend. My friend loved her breakfast as well and we'll for sure be back. It was super well priced as well which was great.

First time getting brunch around the neighborhood. Had to write my name and number down and wait for at least 30 min outside. There are two benches outside for the people waiting. There is limited seating so I can see why the wait was so long. When I tried to follow up on an estimated time the server was really rude and kept saying you just gotta wait and barely even wanted to speak to me. I understand he's busy but I was only asking out of curiosity how much longer. Even when we sat down it took them a long time to give us water and the menu and was not attentive. Besides the bad customer service, I really did enjoy the food. I got the Inside Out Truffle Bun Plate and my friend got the Grilled Chorizo Skillet. Also got the S'mores French toast to share. All dishes were very delicious and good portions. Would definitely come back and try their other items on the menu!
