Common Good Co. — Restaurant in Waltham

Today was their opening day. I wanted to try them as I like their mission statement and their commitment to supporting charities, and I'm also trying to support local businesses whenever possible. The coffee and the chocolate croissant that I had were good, a bit better than Starbucks and Dunkin's IMHO, and their prices are similar to Starbucks. The atmosphere was a comfortable, friendly vibe, and I could see this being popular with Brandeis and Bentley students. I believe that they have Wi-Fi access as I saw several people working on their laptops. I will return, probably often.

I have no complaints, but I do have a couple of suggestions. They offer cream, skim milk, and oat milk to lighten their coffee. I would add whole milk as many people prefer it to cream, and I prefer my iced coffee that way. They offer a ceramic coffee cup for in-house consumption, but only in their small size. Adding a large mug would allow us who are consuming on-premises not to have to choose between a large in a paper cup or a small in a ceramic cup. Both are minor points and...

Overall an okay addition to Moody Street; clean environment, music could use an update, decent coffee, and good wifi.

Unfortunately it had a slightly weird vibe when I was there. Looking into the partners and owner and it seems to have a close connection to a microchurch plant being launched in Waltham. I wish the details of that relationship and what tangible actions common Good Co. is taking to make "positive change for all mankind" would be made more transparent, that would make me feel less uneasy and leave me open to coming back for a coffee regularly.

EDIT: I would like to thank the owners for the detailed reply to my comments and concerns. I now feel more comfortable stopping in for food/coffee and it will be interesting to see how the new business matures. (Leaving my original post for context)

EDIT: I've tried a couple baked goods, they've been fine at best. The scones specifically are...

Edit:: After reading some other reviews and doing the research,the founders/owners are heavily invested in the church and micro churches. Nope. I'm afraid they won't be getting my business anymore. I really hope the profits don't get used for the church.

This is my go to spot on my days off. Food is a little pricey for pre-made,however I do love the coffee. Two things,when I went in a few weeks ago I ordered the ham and cheese croissant. I got my coffee and a plain croissant. I said I ordered the ham and cheese. I was told they might be out. I waited ten minutes,finally went up to the counter and explained the snafu. I finally got it,but was charged an extra two dollars and some change when there's a fixed price for it. Second,went in yesterday. The nice young man took my order,however he had his shirt tucked up so you can see his belly button. I understand it's hot,but...
