The Common

I got the eggs Benedict and in the skillet (the grilled sausage, mushrooms, onions, potatoes, fresh spinach, herbs, baked eggs, za’atar pita), cappuccino, and pistachio latte. The pistachio latte was good that I feel like I don’t need to add any sugar on top. The place is small but the food is good. I didn’t have to wait long for the table and they clean the table right away and I was only waiting about 5 mins or so. I really like eggs Benedict. It was so good.

Amazing food but my experience was totally ruined by the horrible service we had. the server/host was so rude and was rushing everyone, not only our table but everyone around too.People from other table were looking at each other in disbelief that, that’s the kind of service were were all getting. He had no patience with first time customer that had questions about the menu. One table got there bill almost thrown at them on the table and glided on the table . Yes I understand he was alone. We totally understand that part but it was just embarrassing that even other tables noticed that he had no care but to get ppl to eat fast and leave . Its really too bad because the food is high end quality,very elegant presentation.the restaurant is very clean . But because of the service that was so poor and neglected our table will never spend a dime there .

Without a shadow of a doubt the number 1 spot as far as food (taste and quality).

Excellent service, brunch time has a waiting period but it's worth the wait. Food was delicious. Four adults and one child. All 5 orders were surprisingly hot which was a welcomed surprise. We shall be returning soon.

We are here for the first time on a Sunday late morning right before the St Patrick’s parade rolled in. It was a little busy, the wait was just about 15 minutes.

Parking takes a little time to find but there’s usually a few spots around the neighborhood.

Service is attentive and quick, they took our orders and I got my delicious pistachio latte within moments.

We ordered their waffles and chicken, and skillet eggs with sausage. Probably my favorite chicken waffles anywhere. Warm and spicy peppered chicken, the spices carry onto the waffles and it was just soooo good and extremely filling.

I would easily come back and bring people here again and again.

When I used to live in Bay Ridge Brooklyn, this was my go to place for breakfast and brunch! Alone or with friends! They always have a line/waiting list, but it is so worth the wait! The only thing I would change, even though everything is perfect from their beautifully plated dishes to their awareness of food allergies... (I am severely allergic to all milk products and some tree nuts) is the strength of their coffee. I also would recommend them to provide an animal milk alternative for coffee drinkers who may like a milk other than cow milk.
My goto appetizer: Fried Cauliflower with their peanut sesame glaze! Yum!
Now that I live in Princeton, NJ, whenever I am back visiting even with all the other restaurants in Brooklyn, I make a point to visit The Common! Thank you to the hard working Chefs! Miss seeing you guys every week! cheers!

Some of the best food I’ve ever eaten. One of the few restaurants where I legitimately want to try everything on their menu. Each dish I’ve eaten, breakfast and/or dinner, have been perfectly executed. I can’t recommend this place enough.

This place is terrible and the staff are very nasty and they left us out in the cold for over 2 hours and I left my phone number for them to call they never called and I went back there 3 times to ask them how much longer they first told me 30 minutes then they said 10 minutes we waited for over a hour and they never called they never answered the phone I definitely wouldn’t recommend this place

It was one of the best places and food ever I loved it.

We love it. Great food, prices ok. Poached eggs on a skillet and the eggs Benedict are our favorites.
