Commonwealth Cafe: Reviews & Ratings
Food was great and large portion. The cinnamon roll was okay (definitely needed to be heated up before eating). The service was great and the staff was friendly. The drinks came first then the food and everything was delicious. Their home made jam is so good too! There's a 15% gratuity automatically added.
We come here a lot since my fiancé works down the street and one thing never changes, just how good this place is! They have service and ordering down to a T. They are fast and friendly, the food is just amazing and the C-latte is to die for! Don't be fooled by a small on the outside looking cafe, this place gets packed! During the summer they open the windows and patio is in full service. I highly recommend coming here with friends for brunch!
This a perfect lunch spot, I had the GRILLED CHEESE + TOMATO SOUP which is a great portion. The grilled cheese is made on a thick ciabatta bread and the cheese mixture is perfect. There is normally a line but it goes faster than you expect. I've never had an issue getting a table after ordering, the staff quickly cleans tables.
Food was amazing, was able to satisfy all our food needs. Was in town visiting girlfriends and was a great place to catch up and enjoy truly delicious food!
Cute brunch spot with plenty of seating. We went early and there was no wait. Noticed after we left, the line gets longer as it gets later. They had a lot of selection between food/coffee/tea/desserts. We ordered the common breakfast, chorizo hash, carrot cake, and a couple coffees. The food came out pretty quickly and everything was fresh/hot. The gingerbread latte wasn't a strong flavor but it was still good. The chorizo hash had a lot of flavor and was super good. The commons breakfast was a big portion, ended up taking some to go. The carrot cake was the best thing I had there.
Commonwealth Cafe is a cute, convenient spot with pretty good breakfast/lunch food. The service is minimal since you order at the front and they really only come by to bring you your food, but regardless, everyone there has always been extremely friendly and helpful when navigating the menu. However, it is pricey even for Birmingham. There is a 20% gratuity included in every check even with little to no service. Still great for breakfast if you're in the area!
Birmingham and so many cute little restaurants and Commonwealth Cafe is no excepton. I've eaten brunch here twice during my last few visits and, based on the line, it seems to be a pretty popular spot. My brother was the lucky one to wait in line this last time while we took his little ones to play outside...there were a bunch of other little ones outside for them to play with as their family members waited in line. I enjoyed an iced latte (a must!) and some sort of veggie omelette. It was super fresh and tasty. I would definitely be a regular if I lived in the area. Instead I'll continue to be a regular when I visit my brother and friends who live in the area!
The food was very fresh and delicious, and the flavors were so bright and vibrant! I got the Waygu Carne Asada bowl, chai latte, and the banana bread that I had them grill. Everything was absolutely amazing. That was the best banana bread I've ever had. It had chocolate chips in it, and I normally wouldn't go for that, but when I say it was phenomenal, IT WAS!! The service was great, and the ambience was very relaxing. The Waygu Carne Asada bowl was a tad on the pricier side, at $32, but I would definitely get it again. It was everything was looking for. The steak was very tender, and grilled to perfection. Can't wait to return.
