Chill spacious spot to sip on matcha and get to work. Live music on some weekends too!

Such a chill, cool little place. The food is BOMB. I had the banana pancakes which were SOFT AND FLUFFY. Not too sweet and I ordered eggs on the side which were cooked to perfection. My bf got the mole waffle, which he absolutely ate up. He said they’re not like anything he’s had before, authentic and delicious. He felt truly at home, the chef was so cute and friendly. It really gives a welcoming and caring vibe.

Went for the first time and loved it! I tried the piloncillo coffee and matcha waffles - both were delicious. Excited to try all the other options on the menu, especially the coffees. The atmosphere was also really nice, quiet, and comfortable!

I went over today to study. I loved the environment! I had my headphones on, and everything I ordered was taken to my table. I suppose my only concern is that it was a little pricey compared to other places, but still super affordable. I ordered the breakfast sandwich and the Piloncillo. Both were so delicious!

Absolutely love this spot! The drinks are top tier—every drink I've tried has been expertly made. Their food is just as impressive, with a brunch menu that’s nothing short of stupendous. The environment is cool and welcoming, with great music that adds to the chill vibe. What really stood out was the kindness of the chef, who personally came to check on us to make sure we were enjoying everything. You can tell they truly care about the experience. This place is a gem!

Common Space is my go-to spot for breakfast and coffee. Their breakfast sandwich is my absolute favorite! They’re incredibly welcoming to our run club, Runners Blueprint. They make us feel right at home every time we’re there. They even gifted me a card for placing 1st at a race, a kind gesture from them to our club. Great vibes, amazing food and coffee, and truly good people.
