While the Common Bond in the Med Center may not top my list of favorite locations, it's certainly carved out its own appeal. One key lesson I've picked up from my visits is the strategic timing of my arrival - avoiding post-lunch hours is a must. By then, the most sought-after pastries often find their way into the hands of early birds, leaving latecomers wishing for a wider selection.Despite this timing quirk, the staff at this location always manages to shine brightly. Their exceptional service and friendly smiles make every visit worthwhile, regardless of the pastry selection available at the time. They bring a level of warmth and professionalism that keeps the atmosphere inviting and makes you feel genuinely taken care of.The Common Bond in the Med Center remains a solid choice for those looking to enjoy high-quality bakery items and excellent coffee.

I've come here many times; however, today I decided to update my opinion of this location due to the service received. I placed a mobile order with a ready time of 8:35 + curbside. I come by, call at 8:40 and I wait another 12 minutes just to get down myself and pick up my items. On top of that, my tea was missing its teabag... instead, I just had warm milk. The avocado smash? Overpriced. All the items are overpriced. Maybe a better spot for catching up with someone you haven't seen in a while over a sip, but Starbucks level expensive (maybe slightly more?) when you put it all together. With the service, food, and cold ambiance - I didn't find it to be worth it.

This is an update to a review I did a few years ago where my experience at Common Bond was less than stellar.I want to commend management for at least addressing customer service issues.As of last week I returned to Common Bond Med Ctr twice. Both times the service was fast, friendly, and accurate. I still think the meal menu is overpriced (we're talking $13 for a breakfast sandwich), but I feel like they at least deserve my business for a pop in latte or pastry.Keep going Common Bond!

I have a bias towards this location merely for the memories I've had here, but I thoroughly enjoy their pastries and the drinks. I don't believe I've had any encounter that left a negative impression, but the service is alright! Nice people though! I love the ambiance of the bakery as there's enough seating outside and inside. There's some outlets in corners of the room and a row of outlets connected to the bar which I found helpful and useful. I will say, I prefer the pastries over the meals here and I've learned that lesson today, but I absolutely love the pastries so I don't mind. I wouldn't mind coming back at all, but I'm going to stick with my favorite pastries. It's still a delicious establishment! I have yet to try other meals, but we'll see!! My sister and I LOVE the pastries! We must say. They always hit the sweet spot! Mindful of parking though, it can be chaotic!

Happened to be in the megalopolis of Houston. A friend recommended this bakery (there are several locations of this throughout the city) for the Kouign Amann. Please don't ask me to pronounce it. It looks like coo-EE ah-Mahn to me but pardon my Welsh, or is it Gaelic? Someone set me straight here.Regardless, in short. Yum. Not much to look at but one must experience the cooey in the ahman. (Speaking in tongues again) Caramelized sugar crunch with a soft inside. My favorite dessert texture. Get it warmed up. Service was great. Fast. Typical wait-in-line pay at the register setup. Seating ample. Nothing special about the shop in terms of ambience. This spot was located next to a hospital so it was perfunctory. Capiche?They offered to heat my latte to a warm temp which would not burn my tongue. Even specified the temperature (was it 120 F?) For that I give it a coveted 5th star because no other establishment has offered me this. Not even myself, to myself in my own home. I learned something new that day. Swing through, learn the pronunciation of this amazing pastry or at least point and say 'this one please!'

Amazing breakfast & brunch place located inside the Medical Center off Holcomb. They have fresh baked goods and pastries along with a decent variety of breakfast menu items (and salads and other things). Of course they also offer coffees to compliment the B&B experience. Food is very fresh and the Chef's Scramble (with sausage) is my favorite item on the menu that promises a lot food and a lot of variety, and ALL of it is scrumptious. I'd recommend indulging on a cinnamon bun or chocolate pastry when you have a chance. They are on the pricier side, but it's a quality bakery that has a lot to offer you to start your mornings (or afternoons) off right!

I'm use to going to the common bond downtown but since I was in the area and got my nail salon next door, I decided to come by to get their coffee and croissants. I ordered the pistachio croissant and their almond croissant, my favorites. I ordered a lavender (hot) latte with almond milk. I emphasized to the staff taking my order hot and almond milk. He nodded. The barista made me an iced in regular . I noticed instantly and told him. he said the order was put in for iced with no mention of almond milk. Anyway, he called the guy that took my order over and the guy remade my drink. Overall their pastries are always good. The lattes are not sweet, how I like it.

One of my favorite locations for a delicious snack and provides a great atmosphere for either catching up with friends or diving into a good book. Personally I recommend the chocolate chip and pecan cookies as well as their wide assortment of lattes - Hazelnut is my go to here. Even when they are busy the staff is great whether is recommendations, and checking up on you to see if you need anything else they have a genuine smile when they do it. If you are in the area definitely come check and check them out! #cookies #lattes

This is a great place for a breakfast or pastry date. The salted caramel latte is amazing and the chocolate chip cookies are chunky and moist. The turtle brownie is rich but and not too sweet. The ambience is chill but it might be a bit too loud to study/ work. The service is also very good. Parking: there is plenty of free parking in the front lot.
