Common Bond On-The-Go - Heights

I went to common bond with a friend for an afternoon coffee date and was disappointed to learn that they only use to-go serveware (no mugs or plates). Once we learned about how the drinks would be served (in paper cups), we cancelled our cappuccino orders and decided to just take the desserts to-go. Neither of us like to-go cups for cappuccinos as we think it alters the taste. I was a bit surprised at how difficult it was for the staff to remove the cappuccinos from our order... neither person could do it and they had to call for the manager (who was able to do it very quickly). For the desserts, we ordered the Lemon Gateau and the Lavender Honey Cheesecake. Each dessert was not only beautiful in the presentation / decoration but they also tasted incredible. I preferred the rich cheesecake while my friend preferred the lemon tart. I would revisit Common Bond again for the deserts but wouldn't order other items until you can enjoy it there on actual plates / mugs.

Location: heights Staff: Jahari greeted us with a smile, he was nice, friendly and knowledgeable of their productsParking: plentyDrive thru window: yesSeating: indoor and outdoor Drink: went for matcha latte hot and it was great, a bit strong for my norm but great overall Food: scone and chocolate chip cookie. Both warm and delicious.I will definitely be stopping here again as service and food was great!

I'm so glad more independent coffee shops are gearing towards drive thru. I need more options than Starbucks and their ridiculously long lines! I love that this Common Bond is less than 5 minutes from my house, and that it's along the way to work.Typically I'll grab coffee on the go or a few pastries to share with fellow colleagues. Their location is much smaller than the others, which makes it more discrete. I have noticed lately that the drive thru is getting a bit busier lately. Although it is smaller, their menu is still extensive. I'll either get the frozen bond (espresso, whole milk, sugar - already pre blended), or a hot Nutella latte. Nutella is not a syrup on their menu, but it is an option. You'd usually see it at their other locations. Overall, Common Bond on-the-go Heights location, is my preferred, quick go-to for coffee on the road.

I actually really like this location -- it's convenient to pop in and out (or drive thru). The menu items are just as good as every other location. My go-to is their vanilla latte!

I recently moved to the area and have already gone here a handful of times - it's just really good!This is the smaller On-the-go location, although they do have a small seating area. I've been walking over so I haven't tried dining inside. The baristas are friendly, patient, answer all my questions about the pastries and coffee flavors, and then make excellent coffee! I tried the Nutella Latte and the Lavender; loved them both. And the pastries... OMG. I've tried the kugelhopf (get the Boston cream!) and Nutella croissant. Man they were good! This has become a gem in the Heights and a great coffee stop.

Let me start by saying that the pastries are really top tier. That is the only good thing I can say about this place. I have never seen a restaurant that screws up orders this consistently. I've been three times in the last two weeks. The first time I actually went in with my parents. My dad ordered a chocolate croissant and a latte to split with my mom and I ordered a decaf Americano and an almond croissant. We sit down and the coffee shows up five minutes later, and we ask the girl where the pastries are. They sold the last ones to the people in the drive-through having completely forgotten about us. The second time I drove through and ordered a bacon, egg, and cheese croissant, and got home to find a croissant with just an egg. The third time, I drive through, I ordered a decaf americano and the same croissant as last time. They gave me the sandwich, and this time I check it at the window and it's wrong again, then they hand me the americano, and I ask if it was decaf. "Oh." Then they remake the Americano again and it's still wrong.Some of their items are really good, but the whole idea here is supposed to be convenience. But between the sheer incompetence, and frankly, carelessness of the staff and the fact that you're going to spend 20 minutes in the drive through undo the entire point of this place being "on the go." I strongly recommend going to one of the sit-down locations instead.

This shop is right next to my office so I am a frequent drive-thru customer. There is limited indoor seating and an bigger outdoor area, but I personally would not like to sit out there. This is not a coffee shop I would go to if I was looking to read or be on my laptop. There is limited parking and the drive-thru wraps around the porch so you would be surrounded by a line of cars if you sit out there-- the drive-thru is the way to go.My favorite thing to order is the frozen bond, which is a sweet frozen espresso drink, their macarons and pastries are amazing, and I also really enjoy their bacon, egg, and cheese croissant. Make sure you have a card on you, they do not accept cash! Overall, this is a great local drive-thru coffee shop.

great quick coffee and pastry fix!loveeee the frozen bond, especially on a hot houston day! Good strong coffee flavor and sweet as well. The infamous Pistachio Croissant is always a hit. HINT - ask for it to be heated/toasted. Warmed pastries are the best! Great & quick service. They have both indoor and outdoor seating. And even a drive thru! Some parking in the front of the building as well.

I ordered the ham and cheese sandwich on "French bread " expecting to get it on the baguette like at the Montrose location. The bread was a stale roll. HEB has better rolls (bolillos) than what I received at Common Bond. I ended up throwing away the bread and just eating the ham. Very disappointing.

Not very good. I had a chicken salad sandwich and it's pretty much not good. They don't even have a tuna salad sandwich. Cool idea bad food what can you do
