Sara's full firsthand review

This is such a cozy and lovely location of Common Bond Bistro & Bakery. In fact, this location is probably my favorite within the greater Houston area! It is so open, colorful, warm and inviting with the café. Nestled within the vibrant and upbeat neighborhood of Tanglewood. They've got plenty of indoor garage parking that is steps away from the café. Perfect. No need to fight for parking. A quiet and serene location that surrounds itself within the grounds of an apartment building. This location in particular opened up over the previous summer season, and until then, it remains clean with friendly and cordial customer service. I love the decorated atmosphere with the hues of blue, pink and yellow. The décor brings upon a soft and inviting atmosphere, perfect for catching up with friends or reading/working. Santiago and fellow crew members are wonderful. This bistro location of Common Bond has a decent selection of both savory and pastry items. I have tried a few of their savory items, and they were all delectable. Their soups in particular are some of my favorite. Pair it with a baked bread? Lush. Their pistachio croissants, as well as their macarons, brownies and cookies are the repeated sweet items you will find at any of their bakery locations. Just as tasty, sweet and memorable. I enjoy their café lattes and look forward to their seasonal latte menu. Cappuccinos? Perfect. Those go straight to my heart. Give this location a try, you will love it. They also have a quiet section upstairs where you can chat over coffee and conversations... you get what I'm sayin? Until next time!;)
