Common Bond Bistro & Bakery - Tanglewood — Restaurant in Houston

Common Bond is, without a doubt, my absolute go-to spot whenever I want to treat myself to something delicious, fun, and beautifully presented. Whether you’re coming for brunch, lunch, or just a quick coffee run, this place never disappoints.

If you’re stopping in for breakfast, you absolutely have to try the almond butter croissant. It’s my all-time favorite — flaky, buttery, and filled with the most incredible almond butter filling. Every bite is perfection, and it’s one of those pastries that you’ll crave long after you’ve finished it.

And don’t even get me started on their morning bun. It’s golden, crisp on the outside, and melt-in-your-mouth soft on the inside, with just the right amount of cinnamon and sugar. Paired with a steaming cup of their rich, bold coffee, it’s the perfect way to start your day.

But if you’re looking for something a little more decadent, their brownies are to die for. Thick, fudgy, and packed with deep, chocolatey goodness — they’re the kind of dessert that makes you close your eyes and savor every bite.

Aside from the incredible food, the atmosphere at Common Bond is something special. It’s aesthetically pleasing, with beautiful, inviting decor and a charming outdoor seating area that’s perfect for relaxing, chatting with friends, or just soaking up some sunshine with your favorite pastry in hand. It’s a place that’s not only affordable but also feels like a little escape from the everyday hustle.

Whether you’re in the mood for a morning coffee and pastry, a satisfying lunch, or a sweet treat to brighten your day, Common Bond is the place to be. It’s one of those rare spots that truly has it all — amazing food, a welcoming atmosphere, and a vibe that keeps you coming...

Experience Highlights: -Dirty and Unclean Dishes -Heavy Weed Smell -Friendly service -No Napkins -Dry Cake / old tasting pastry (not fresh) -poor espresso selection for latte

In my opinion: It’s supposed to be upscale pastries and service but their outside seating is oppressed with a continuous smell of heavy thick marijuana. I brought a party of six and a few people decided to leave immediately just because of the smell.

All the plates we got were dirty. They all had crumbs and stains.

Ive gone three times now and if they don’t give you the utensils at the register when you order you have to go back and ask for them.

Each time I visited the self service napkin holders were empty.

The staff was cutesy and into each other. But Perhaps they need a little coaching on tidiness and restocking. Many of the tables had food on the floor underneath them and the place to meant to be more posh.

The cake we got was embarrassingly dry. And the selection of pastries we got had that signature smell and taste of not being fresh.

Definitely the place has potential but after three times this place is not some where nice I can take my family and friends to enjoy the outside seating because of the...

Biggest let down on a Grand Opening that I've had in years! Common Bond posted online for a long time leading up to the opening weekend that Friday through Sunday would have samples, goodie bags, gift cards and giveaways. The employees were trying to be friendly but had no idea of what was going on that first Friday morning. They said any style coffee would be free then later said it was the mediocre drip coffee only. The mini cookies were not ready so at least they gave a full sized cookie but none of the other samples were anywhere to be seen. Management was either overworked or undertrained and just basically shrugged and said goodie bags with gift cards were going to be out on another day but no clue when. Nobody knew how about what the giveaways were or how you could enter. Customer service used to be responsive when I would try to get something clarified or corrected but I'm worried that maybe these new expansions are too much to be managed...
