“ Tried this place from a recommendation from my cousin. Staff very friendly and attentive. My brother ordered the croast and I ordered the grilled breakfast naan. Both were very good. Wait was 20 mins so we decided to walk around the neighborhood and they called us when the table was ready. Very good service all around. ”

“ Very good breakfast/lunch spot. The food was AMAZING and the quantity was very good too. Price point is very fair and quality of the food is spectacular. Additionally the atmosphere is very cute and the service is great. Highly recommend checking out if you are in the area. ”

“ Food was good, The service was incredible!! The atmosphere was coffee shop meets diner with an excellent music selection ”

“ This spot is my wife and I's favorite breakfast spot in the neighborhood. I breakfast is absolutely delicious and the French toast is probably the best in all of NYC. My only complaint is I wish this place was bigger because it's always busy especially on the weekends. ”

“ Found this restaurant when looking for a good brunch spot and it didn't disappoint. The parking in the area is really difficult especially on weekend mornings so fellow drivers beware. You will be circling for a while. Weekend brunch always has a wait, but typically not very long, maximum 40 minutes. The food is really delicious and they have an open kitchen concept so you can see your food being made. The interior is small but not claustrophobic small. They have great iced lattes and I always get one whenever I dine in. Their food is prepared well and portioned nicely. I really enjoy coming here with my friends, and my husband and I love coming here for a brunch date every once in a while. We can't wait to bring our young son here when he's old enough. The staff are friendly and kind, they keep the pace of diners moving along and are attentive. You can tell they enjoy their job which is rare in customer facing jobs, speaking from experience. Kudos to this restaurant, it's a great place to eat and seems just as lovely to work there. Highly recommend coming here for brunch, breakfast, and lunch!! They also have a bathroom in the rear of the restaurant, and it was comfortable and spacious enough to use even when I was 9 months pregnant so that's a big bonus! ”

“ I'm shocked and appalled I haven't been here sooner! When my husband suggested we come to the Common for breakfast during our stay-cation, I was 1) surprised he picked a place and 2) that none of my friends had already recommended we give this place a try. We did however make the mistake of not making reservations before coming on a Wednesday morning after 10AM and know better for next time. Their menu is very unique with bold flavors and it worth a thorough look over before sitting down. Make the most of your wait time and really read it over, and ask if they are also serving lunch as well, which will further confuse you in your decision-making process. After looking at their pictures here on Yelp, I was firmly decided on their caramel hot latte while my hubby wanted to try their iced pistachio coffee. To me, my caramel latte was a the clear winner when it not only came to presentation, but the TASTE as well! Delicious down to the last sip! I tried to lick the inside of the mug once or twice, but didn't want to further endure the looks my husband was giving me across the table. For the main entree, I decided on their Croast, which is fairly new to their menu. This is a croissant with a poached egg on to, smothered in a cream mushroom sauce - what's not to love?!? This dish was fabulous! The depth of flavor and savoriness far exceeded my expectations of the portion. The portion isn't huge for a reason, and allows you to take in every taste your tastebuds can offer. My husband's breakfast sandwich was simple and yet packed a surprising punch with their bacon jam. This is a sandwich not to sleep on! From the staff to the vibe to the food and their other patrons, this place is a much needed gem; support local and get your breakfast here! ”

“ Originally, we were going to a diner but the prices were higher than we'd like and upon looking at the menu here, we thought the price was reasonable and the dishes looked good. We had the in a skillet- three poached eggs in sweet chili sauce with onion, potatoes, tomatoes, corn, cotija cheese, sour cream & grilled pita ($17). The description sold me on the dish. I found it to have a great acidic flavor and I think it was just missing a savory salty piece to the dish. I would've ordered a side of something to go with it. I wanted to try the sausage and grits. Upon sitting down, it wasn't on the menu so I had a delicious Croast ($15). it worked really well together. With the first bite I had a zesty acidic arugula, warm croissant, with flavorful mushroom and sauce. The truffle tapenade wasn't really needed or made enough of an impact. We'd definitely come back and try their other dishes. The place is small and gets packed really quickly. We got there shortly after 8 AM on a Sunday and it was already filled with local. I would recommend parties of 1 to a max of 4. It's a great local spot to have a nice hot breakfast. ”

“ First time at the common for brunch, it was not too bad actually. The portion was good for the price and the food tasted good. My favorite out of all the dishes was the chicken live mousse, if your taste buds allow you to, TRY IT! All the dishes will be in the videos, sorry I can't remember all the names! The service is friendly and quick! And I really like the vibes here, please note this place is small, so, there will be a wait since they do get busy. Happy eating :) ”

“ Delicious food and great service with kind attentive staff. Upbeat music and clean space ”

“ I have never been so sweaty while eating brunch. It was very warm inside the restaurant when I went. It wasn't too crowded when I was there, but we were waiting for the check for a bit after we finished. What really matters is that the food was served hot and fresh and the portions were pretty good for the price. An enjoyable brunch spot overall. ”
