  In town for business and guess where I had breakfast everyday? Commonwealth! I would have done lunch too but I think they would have found me creepy at that point haha.
  
  Coffee was great, of course!
  
  Food was bombdigity. I tried the fried egg sandwich, the quinoa breakfast bowl and the spinach omelette. My favourite would have to be the omelette. It was creamy and perfectly cooked. The egg sandwich is a close second! Very filling and packed with flavour. I found the quinoa bowl a little dry. I was trying to use their hot sauce to add moisture but it wasn't working! And I was also losing taste buds at that point haha. But speaking of the hot sauce, it was so good. I would have bought one if they sold it!
  
  Will definitely be paying more visits every time I'm back in town!

  Let's start with how busy this place gets. The line is literally out the door so that's kinda crazy. I really wanted to love it!
  
  Now for the breakfast menu. There is alot to choose from. I opted for French toast with butter and syrup since they ran out of the mascarpone option. The toast was dry and barely battered. My son had the blueberry pancakes (whole blueberries in the batter) he didn't really enjoy it. It was very bland. Everyone else on our table really seemed to like what they ordered. I learned that their savory items are much more delicious then the sweet. The avocado toast and fried egg sandwich were huge hits. The one thing that really got to me was the price. My total for pancakes (3 small), coffee, coffee and two pieces of French toast was nearly $40. It just seemed a little crazy for breakfast/brunch.

  Came here for a late brunch on a cold, rainy Sunday thinking not too many people would be out, but I guess bad weather doesn't keep people away from Commonwealth because the line was out the door. Went fairly quickly and didn't have to wait too long to place an order. Their menu isn't super elaborate, but I have enjoyed everything I've tried. This time I ordered my usual, which did not disappoint: the fried egg sandwich and an almond milk latte. Another favorite of mine is the breakfast burrito but it's pretty filling and I wasn't hungry enough for it.
  
  The place has a casual but also hipster vibe, but the space is beautiful. They have the garage-type windows that can open up, and couple with their outdoor patio, it's a great place to come spring/summer. I always love coming back and have never left disappointed.

  I went to Commonwealth around 10 am on a Saturday. The line was out door to order food to dine in, but it moved pretty quickly (under 10 minutes). I came with a large party of 8, and the staff was very gracious in helping us gather tables together to create room for a party of our size.
  
  I started with the Chocolate Banana Bread, which was very moist and tasty, although I wish it had more chocolate in it!
  
  I also had the breakfast quinoa bowl with chicken. It was very filling and tasty. It was a lot of food with the chicken - I almost didn't need it but I was extremely hungry when I arrived! The portion of eggs is very generous and would be filling enough on their own.
  
  Overall good experience and food!

  I like this place. The coffee and tea are great. I don't care for the food menu. If you don't eat eggs, then you are left with one or two other choices, even at lunch and dinner. I wish they had a few more things on the menu that did not include eggs. Everything else about this place is great.
