Stephen MlinarcikNovember 6, 2016THE neighborhood coffee and breakfast joint. Sandwiches are on point and their Iced Americano is the best in Chelsea. Doubles as a cozy bar in the evenings, so you have no excuse to leave. Ever.
NicoleApril 9, 2016Grilled cheese with bacon on focaccia. 😍 Cramped tiny space where you can overhear every conversation, but so worth a trip for coffee, wine, salads, and sandwiches.
Stina P.December 8, 2013The cutest! With barely room for more than 5 tables, red neon lights, tile, modern wood, music, and friendly local staff, this is the classic, efficient coffee shop/touch of local bar that is NY's ❤
Michael JonesApril 3, 2015This is a great spot! Delicious food, really tasty and so fresh! Great coffee too. And omg I want to try the pastries, but the upcoming wedding won't allow it :(. Ha ha. Enjoy!
Bit bummed their avocado toast is now on a massive baguette rather than a roast. Great place for a quick coffee and snack. Too small to work in. Really nice service.
SebJanuary 29, 2015The staff is very friendly and my salad was delicious. The place is lovely. People invading coffee places with laptops, don't come here after 12 as it's not allowed. Quite normal for a small place.
I like their policy of asking people not to use their laptops or tablets. It's too tiny in here to have people hogging the tables. Love their sausage breakfast sandwich and BLT.
Melissa RosenthalOctober 12, 2014One of NYC's hidden gems. Skip the wait at cafe gitane and order the avocado toast with smoked salmon. Life changing.
Hanna ParkMarch 26, 2014Great place for a breakfast with options. All food and beverage items available at opening. So go light or get something more hearty, whatever floats your boat!
Nicole CascinoAugust 10, 2013The avocado toast was delish as well as the cookies. Frank and Matt are super nice and attentive. Great place to have a bottle of wine and chat with friends.
Lily O'DareOctober 28, 2014Avocado toast (with sliced tomato) delivered to my office is the most wonderful breakfast/snack in Chelsea!
Jessie MiñoAugust 12, 2014Cute spot to have a cup of coffee or a sangria, ha what a mix. Tight seating but cozy. Variety of great quick bites like the grilled mozzarella.
rob zandApril 27, 2014the Caesar salad dressing will leave your breath smelling like garlic for hours. your best friends and family too will draw away. kissing is out of the question.
Tasting TableAugust 2, 2012Try the Israeli salad with hummus, diced tomato and red onion, baguette toast heaped with avocado, cumin, olive oil and lemon juice, and the ginger lemonade: Read more
Everything here is delicious. Avocado toast w/ salmon, arugula salad, chicken sandwich... the list goes one. Coffee is also great. Almond milk instead of soy!
My mornings are a little easier with a great chai or cup of coffee from this place. If you're hungry, get the avocado toast! Satisfying and awesome.
Andrew FurmanNovember 19, 2015Great place to grab a late night coffee. Has beer on tap, but still has a chill coffee shop vibe at night.
David BanApril 17, 2014Drop by around 7-7:30 for a perfectly cozy after work wine 'n snacks scene. Don't be surprised if it clears out after one service.
Great sandwiches and coffee. Breakfast served all day to a super soundtrack.
- The commons guys are the nicest!! Delicious food and great la colombe coffee
Bridget BadoreSeptember 1, 2015Seriously the best egg sandwich in the city -- get it with avocado or try the yummy avocado toast too 💘
The egg sandwich is easily the best thing on the menu. Chicken sandwich a very close second - add some tomato to set it off.
This little coffee shop nestled in the heart of Chelsea provides solid brew and brunch that won't break the bank.
TiffanyMarch 30, 2016Cafe is fairly small but has a range of foods to try. We just got coffee but definitely come for the food as well.
Ryan LagasseAugust 4, 2013Nifty coffee spot that flys a bit under the radar. Free wifi, small space with exposed tiles and wood tables a plus. Coffee and location are average. Worth a stop through.
Maxwell FoxmanJune 23, 2016A touch expensive for my taste ($5 for an iced tea) but I guess comparable for the area. Nice vibe and friendly staff they only allow laptop use in the morning.
The cucumber Baguette toast with olive oil, lemon juice, and chili flakes has a peppery, smoked finish more sophisticated than the quaint space appears!
John AAugust 16, 2014Fresh salads, yummy bakery, and the ginger lemonade and iced mint tea are cool on a summer day.
Brian McFaddenJanuary 25, 2016Delicious food and coffee. Skip Starbucks and come here. Also, the staff is always friendly.
Tim SheyDecember 3, 2011The baked goods, by the owner's mother (Arlene's Bakery), are superb. Try the sour cream and olive oil cakes with some La Colombe coffee.
Try the bacon, egg and cheese. It's made with cayenne pepper and it adds a delicious and unexpected kick.
Friendly and attentive staffs. Reasonably priced espresso drinks. Good for lunch and small bites also.
AlekseyAugust 29, 2015Avocado toast, baked eggs with salmon and coffee - pretty good, healthy and hearty breakfast
KarlaJanuary 1, 2015I was very happy with my artichoke toast. Next time I will have to try to avocado toast.
Eric ChandlerJanuary 13, 2012I'm a Grey Dog fan, but The Commons may have just nabbed the spot as my neighborhood favorite. Smaller, more intimate, quiet.
Wade VMay 13, 2018The atmosphere and staff give it neighborly charm, but the product isn't really all that good. I had an egg sandwich and a coffee that were not really that memorable.
Elie BleierSeptember 29, 2014Good coffee, laptops allowed on weekdays before 11am. The staff were surprisingly cold.
Patrick BaskinJuly 21, 2015Only tried their coffee, it's pretty good...cute patio though and they serve beer
Guri VenstadSeptember 28, 2012This small Chelsea oasis has lunch I thought you could only find in Brooklyn AND great people!
L SMarch 4, 2012Great lentil sandwich with pickled onions and carrots (maybe only available on Sundays)
Erica RhoneSeptember 9, 2014Satisfaction! #AvacadoToast Cumin olive oil, lemon juice & chili flakes. #GoodFats #Raw #Vegan
