Menu has lots of unusual offerings and combinations with plenty of great vegetarian options. They use organic produce where possible. Food was great; nice and quiet; laid-back comfy décor. Had the Tali plate which was delicious. Will be heading back for breakfast. They try to make everything from scratch - so it's really fresh food. Great place.
The best part of my visit was the coffee, full of flavour and left with extra zest compliments of the 3 shot mug. Decor is warm and you can hear each other talk, no shouting needed.
I went to The Common for breakfast last weekend with a friend. I absolutely loved it, just as much for the experience as the food. The place is large and spacious and very trendy and funky... A much needed cafe in the burbs. Its a bit different to the rest with some retro furniture and brown paper menus tied up with string. The waitresses use ipads and despite some reviews online we found the service great. The staff were friendly and attentive. My friend and I both had the vegie breakfast which was yum. Will definitely be going back here again!
Met a friend here for a coffee and lunch, the coffee was pretty good (double shows are standard) and the food was 'good'. I had a veg wrap and my friend had a salmon salad. Both meals were fine but nothing incredibly new for the taste buds. In saying that I'd happily go back to catch up with friends for a coffee and try something else on the menu. Environment was chill, good seats to hang out in, no pressure from anyone to leave - so ideal catch up spot and much needed in the area.
Approximate cost: $18
