The croissants are so buttery i had to eat it with a fork it was falling apart!!! Very good coffee too! Sweet ambiance outside in their gorgeous patio with a chicken coup to entertain the kiddos with!

Fun house turned into coffee shop. French Press was a disaster - so weak it tasted like tea. Drip coffee was better. French omelette with bacon was too salty. Nutella crepe was fantastic. It can get crowded but there’s more seating than it appears. Recommend but with a few caveats and not sure if I’ll be back.

Fell upon this little gem by accident. Had family in town and they wanted to find an outdoor breakfast place. Not only did Commonwealth have quality ingredients but beautiful plating, beautiful plates, beautiful decor. Fine dining quality food with very reasonable pricing. Can't wait to return and try something new!

CommonWealth Coffeehouse has changed quite a bit since I was there last. Now serving alcohol and more meal-like dishes. The interior is a little cramped so if you like some room I would recommend sitting outside. But overall the pastries were delicious, the food was good, and the hot drinks were lovely. The atmosphere is very French Chic.

Our lunch was excellent. The cafe has a nice atmosphere and customer service was top notch. Very relaxing environment with a great outdoor seating area.

Love the coffee shop atmosphere and their orange juice is super delicious. In my opinion, their croissants taste better than the actual food so I just order the “Breakfast Croissant and ask for the food to be on the side. Unfortunately they forget to separate and have put the food on the croissant — but if they remove it fast enough, it won’t be soggy.
They also offer student & military discount which surprised me.

We sat down around 9am and it was not busy which was nice. Beautiful interior and exterior seating areas. There were many dogs there that were friendly and not barking. For the food, today the quiche was a bit overcooked but flavor was there. The tacos and crepe were good. But the best was the Danish and bread. Must try the baked goods. That's where it's at! I enjoyed the people that worked there also. Genuinely friendly was the vibe. Thanks again for a great experience all around and I will be back with more friends next time ;)
5 starts for sure.

A decent cup of coffee and an upscale atmosphere that feels approachable and won't break your bank. The pastries are to die for and the breakfast menu is well designed. They have a dogy park in the backyard and lots of table space for people to get work done, read a book, or just visit with friends. The staff is real friendly and they will bring your orders with a smile. The place is on the small size for my taste given the numerous tables. Try the latte is a safe choice

This place was really refreshing to eat at. The atmosphere is really enjoyable and relaxed. The food is very good as well as the coffee. From what I can see all of it is hand prepared which is a nice change of pace. It's a really comforting place to just sit and chat with friends while enjoying a nice tone and good food. They also have alcohol present. Highly recommend!

I’m going about town trying decaf lattes, so I decided to try this Commonwealth location after not coming since pre-pandemic times.
First, it’s a very cute little shop. The ambiance is nice for reading or studying or having a chat with a friend.
The decaf latte tasted okay, similar to Merit but not as flavorful. It was barely warm, though, which meant half of my latte had to be sipped on cold.
I ordered a chocolate croissant and had a seat at the couch. The table and couch were dirty. I waited 20 minutes for my croissant and realized they forgot about me. There is a server walking in front of me every 20 seconds. I’m in clear view of the cashier and everyone working here. I had to go up and inquire about my food. They said sorry and quickly handed me a cold croissant. So now I have a cold croissant to go with my cold latte.
It’s a shame because the place is really cute, and the people seem nice, but the service is severely lacking. I had a much better experience at Merit, which is also super busy. I will probably not be returning again.
