Twice visited and great both times. Staff is super friendly and food is ready very quickly.I've had the regular menu item Beef and Cheddar as well as a Bahn Mi that was on the specials list (needs to be full time). Both were good and well portioned. The Bahn Mi is *chefs kiss* excellent!It also happens to be one of the more affordable joints in the area. Big plus for glass water cup as well! I don't normally like to talk about decor (why? Just here to eat) but this place is pure chaos in the best way possible. Just random art and stuff all over. And it's dim, like dark. It's a very weird cozy place to have lunch.

It's a quirky offbeat party store, you might forget it even exists.A great comedy spot. Free. Every Friday.Sure, comedians are hit and miss, but the set times are extremely short. If you don't like the current performer, wait a minute or two and you'll find the next comedian. We're hooked.

Oh my...oh my!If you want a sandwich, this is the place to visit. You're welcomed by quite the eclectic collection of memorabilia and a friendly staff and cool, local vibe. Head to the back and grab a beverage, chips , and order a sandwich. I had the toasted spicy turkey. Wow! Perfect on all counts. Nicely toasted and melty, delicious turkey, and just the right spice with the banana peppers. I added some dill pickle potato chips and a local Charlotte IPA. Trust me when I say you have to visit the Common Market!

I've been to the Common Market Oakwold on Monroe many times and decided to try this place since I was in the area. Similar vibe, maybe a little calmer on a Thursday lunch time. People here are friendly and the food is just as delicious as it is on the other location. If you're in the area, give this place a

Hubby and I along with his brother and our sister in law had planned to check out Common Market in Southend for brunch while in Charlotte.We ordered and grabbed a table on the patio outside.I ordered the mama's bowl. I absolutely loved the old school mill grits! They were creamy and had really good texture. The bacon was cooked just right and the local sourdough was very yummy! Everything I wanted in a breakfast bowl.Hubby ordered the fire inside breakfast burrito. This combo was really good. Potatoes, egg, pepper-jack cheese, bacon, onions, peppers, jalapeños, firecrackers sauce - yum!They had just ran out of dark roast coffee when we order but made us a fresh pot while we waited for our food. Great service!We will definitely be back next time we're in Charlotte!

Working my way through the menu at lunch time and the chicken bacon ranch wrap is excellent! I added a side of the firecracker sauce which is perfection. Love this place!!

Popped in for a quick breakfast a few weeks back. I love how chill common market always is. It was early on a Saturday so parking was a breeze in South End. I ordered the croissant, egg, cheese and sausage. My receipt says pork sausage, but I'm pretty sure it was turkey and that's just a typo. I hope lol. Anywho, it was hot and tasty but nothing to write home about. But hey that's the common market vibe. Gets the job done and it's affordable. The hash brown situation was super good though! I also love their coffee but I didn't get any this trip. I like this location, it's pretty big inside and they have some outdoor seating for the warmer months. The OG location is my fav though, but happy to see them in this area too!

I am a huge fan, and if I still lived in Charlotte I'd probably get lunch here a few times a week. I was craving a really good sandwich and was looking around online and found Common Market. I loved the amount of options they had and every picture that people had posted looked amazing so I came over immediately. It's definitely a cute convenience store vibe inside with a bar you can drink at too and other snacks throughout the store. Everyone inside was really friendly. They have a long list of sandwiches they created to order but you can build your own and literally get it any way you want. The topping options were endless.I got a pressed sourdough sandwich with avocado smash, turkey, mixed greens, pepper jack cheese, honey mustard, mayo, and cider braised onions. It was big, delicious, filling, affordable (around $10), and hit the spot. It only took like 5-10 minutes to come out too. I really wish they had turkey bacon too but it's okay.

Common Market is a staple in Southend and Charlotte! They have coffee, a kitchen, and coolers and isles of drinks and snacks to choose from. I have been to common market in Southend several times before and have always had a great experience (drink with friends on the patio, coffee in the morning, and just picking up a sandwich for lunch). It is also great for coming to do work on your laptop as there are plenty of tables and everyone pretty much does their own thing here. There are two unisex bathrooms in the main space, inside seating downstairs and upstairs as well as outside patio tables of different sizes. Parking can be a pain from time to time as it is Southend, however there is a lot out in front of the space and next to it as well. Street parking is always free if you can find it and there are some metered spaces as well as garages close by. The workers are always friendly and give great recommendations if you ask!
