Although the line can be long, it's worth the wait! I've tried everything from their pastries to sandwiches and it's all out of this world. Top notch coffee too. Hands down, best bakery in Houston!

Local Houston MagazineJuly 2, 2014Common Bond has over 50 bread, pastry, and baked items rotating throughout the year, all of which are delightful. The entire place is filled with natural light, making the ambiance outstanding! Read more
Michael CalderoneDecember 14, 2014We ordered the torta al pastor which was fresh chorizo on a sandwich with guac and salsa roja. Pretty dang good. We also got one of the chocolate croissants which was amazing. Lattes are delicious.

One of THE best places in town to enjoy genuine French pastries 🥮 & desserts, some amazing artesian bread & sandwiches or delicious coffee based beverages to silky hot chocolate. Can’t go wrong here!
- Damon SununtnasukMarch 11, 2019Amazing food and baked goods - just can't get past the price. $80 for three people and you have to pour your own coffee / water, get your own silverware and napkins, and find your own seat. Extortion.
Daisy ZookOctober 5, 2022Pastries all looked yummy. I got some almond croissant, hazelnut chocolate chip muffin and a pear scone. Had the honey lavender cheesecake and tea at the cafe. Cheesecake was just heavenly! 😋
Edna ManzanaresJune 15, 2014Got here too late for a croissant, but had plenty of desserts to pick from! Macarons are perfect..just the right size, and the texture is divine!! Don't brush aside the cookies, though! Delish!
- Sean StonerJanuary 1, 2015Fantastic pastries as well as breakfast/brunch dishes. Drip coffee and espresso drinks are also excellent. They also sell Stumptown beans (used in their drip coffee).
Houston PressAugust 20, 2014From the croissants that make food-lovers swoonto the savory items, it's hard to lampoonchef Shvartzapel's quote now that clearly, hands down,Common Bond is truly the best bakery in town. Read more
Ashley McginnessDecember 13, 2014Coffee is great, pastries are wonderful and not too sugary, atmosphere is welcoming and relaxed, customer service on point!!! All employees very happy and helpful!
Christy LandesNovember 25, 2014Light and pretty inside. Somewhat prissy service as others have noted but breakfast sandwiches outstanding!!! Fresh squeezed oj. Pastries too big but good! Community tables.
This is the original location. They've expanded a lot (soon to be in Hobby Airport) and the lines are just as long. Be prepared to wait and hunt for parking on the weekends.- Jeremy BurnesDecember 23, 2015This is, hands down, the best bakery/coffee shop I have ever been to. They're breakfast sandwiches are the best I have ever had. Try one!
Indre LabaSeptember 22, 2022We had sandwiches, Texas deluxe was extremely good 😍 coffees were amazing too!’ didn’t have space for desert, but hopefully next time!
Xela MontesNovember 4, 2014Nice atmosphere skip on lunch choices, especially the boudin sandwich for the week of nov4, unless you like your boudin on the extra grilled extra brown side.
Gnat BrainApril 13, 2015Everything here is pretty good. Serve third wave coffee (stump town, boomtown, greenway). Sit at the bar to order instead of waiting in line.
Eric HenaoOctober 30, 2014Oct 2014 - Worth the hype. Line was minimal on a sunday morning before 9:30am. It IS crowded and a bit noisy, but WE had a great time and experience.- Tere PerryAugust 9, 2018The Black & White Cake is a work of bakery art! Beautiful and delicious, it'll make a elegant culinary statement on your dessert table. Or go for something fun with the Unicorn Confetti Cake.
Stephanie AuzstonJune 11, 2016The biscuits and gravy were delicious! Fluffy, homemade biscuits with creamy sausage gravy.
Everything is made with top quality ingredients. Hard to find this selection of pastries and breads (and this level of quality!) outside of France.- Tavi MooJanuary 5, 2015Chocolate tart is so good. Buttery crust with deep rich chocolate fudge and sweet caramel at the bottom for an extra layer of flavor. Pricy but very nice.
Andrew SarofimJuly 8, 2015All the pastries amd dishes are wonderful here. If you don't get here early though some of your favorites may be sold out.
Christine HaMarch 11, 2016Best croissants. Chocolate chip cookie. Prepare for long queue in morning or depleted supply in afternoon. 🍪☕️- Samah AlsammahiJanuary 20, 2018Amazing bakery! Coffee is good too. Try the lavender latte if your into trying something different.
LauraAugust 24, 2014Crazy packed here on a Saturday afternoon! Maybe go on a weekday? I got the banana cream thing (forgot the name!) and it was quite tasty.
Their bread is scrumptious. Several sandwiches are on the spicy side.
The grilled cheese! Wow. Sweet from the caramelized onions with salty cheese and savory bread, yum!
Sarah SG.August 22, 2018Great coffee, a wide selection of sweet goods, and nice ambience. Pretty cool!
Connie RecchiniApril 11, 2016The biscuits and gravy is a great choice for brunch. Get an almond croissant to go for later in the day.
Mae DeguzmanAugust 7, 2014First time here. Tried an Almond croissant, chicken torta, and vanilla latte with soy milk...all were delish!!!
Andrea BritoSeptember 16, 2017Great pasteries nicely served. Definetely a great place to go for a coffee!
Jin KuraiSeptember 25, 2014Latte and bakery are amazing. Lunch is good but not as fulfilling sit at the bar for a good experience
- Fodor's TravelAugust 15, 2018Pastries and breads are baked in world-class German ovens that double as smokers for the meats. Read more
- Really loved the breakfast sandwich and the almond croissant 😍😍😍
Colin DismukeAugust 6, 2014Try the warm potato salad when it's available. And the Kugelhopf is amazing.
Christoph SchillebeeckxSeptember 11, 2021Pastries are divine! Also the lavendar latte is really good!
Alexander FMay 14, 2014Check out the bread rack before making your selections, several savory options lurking back there.
Jonah EatonFebruary 14, 2016It would a sin to call it a cookie, rather it is a mountain of baked dough and chocolate chips
- Stephen McClinticDecember 25, 2017The food was great It was reasonably priced my only complaint is the lack of parking in the parking lot
Steve YoungMarch 24, 2018Super busy but the pastries look great. Got them to go and haven’t tried them yet.
Best baked goods in Houston! Come for the coffee and croissants.

"You can't go wrong with the original cream puff with vanilla inside. If you want to get a little adventurous get the matcha green tea cream puff. Do Not get the strawberry matcha green latte."
