Common Bond Bistro & Bakery - Med Center
2278 W Holcombe Blvd, Houston, TX
Crema's Take
“This Medical Center bistro pairs exceptional housemade pastries and a full breakfast menu with a genuinely welcoming atmosphere perfect for lingering conversations or solo work sessions. Their eggs Benedict and breakfast tacos earn devoted repeat visitors, while their chocolate desserts showcase real technical skill—rich ganaches that melt on your tongue and croissants that justify the slow service crowds. The team genuinely cares about getting it right, happily remaking dishes when something misses the mark, which speaks to their commitment despite the occasional execution hiccup.”

Absolutely delicious breakfast. Ate the eggs Benedict last I came here. And brought my partner to try the breakfast croissant sandwich and breakfast tacos. They were great as well. Eggs Benedict is still the best thing I’ve had here so far.
We are here twice in a one week trip to Houston. Once for breakfast and once for lunch. The food is excellent! The breakfast tacos are delicious. The kale salad with chicken was excellent and the club sandwich was great. I’d definitely come here again. The views aren’t much to speak of, but the food is excellent. If you are looking for a casual place, not too far from MD Anderson, don’t hesitate to try it!
The food was delicious but cold, and all different Temps. One item was not made well, burnt actually. I asked for a replacement and they made it right. Why are we waiting for food, if it's going to be cold? What's happening in the kitchen?
To be a bakery at a medical center, it so weird that they do not have a proper plant based meal. All their products have animals or their secretions (milk and/or eggs), which are known to be detrimental to our health. I was able just to get hummus and a cauliflower, which I need to modify it to make it vegan. Please, start adding more cruelty-free and healthy options!
This cake is incredibly rich, smooth, and silky, everything you want in a chocolate dessert. The ganache has a luxurious texture that melts beautifully, and the flavor is deep and satisfying without being too sweet. Truly a standout treat and one of the best chocolate cakes I’ve had!
