We stopped for breakfast! The whipped ricotta toast is exceptional! As was the vegetarian sandwich! Both had multiple layers of deliciousness in flavors! The ambience is great with music and people! They have cocktails Service was wonderful! The owner was telling me about their pickles, but I did not have any with my breakfast dish so I was a little bummed. However, he came back with a small serving so I could try some! This is the place, y’all! Cannot wait to come back! ☕️

Fantastic coffee and pastries in the morning. Pizza and pasta menu for dinner time! I’d classify the pizza as “artisanal pizza”. It’s pricier than your typical pizza but you can taste the quality dough, sauce, olive oil, etc used!

Great place to get good food. Tried the pasta and the pizza. Fantastic. Had the Feelin’ Spicy! Pizza and the Carbonara pasta. I usually don’t order pasta but this was great. Super cool atmosphere all new and plenty of parking. This area is becoming upscale with new buildings and restaurants opening nearby.

Have had several great dinners and takeout from here previously. Pizzas are amazing. But unfortunately our dinner for TC restaurant week was less than stellar and not up to par with their normal standard.

This bakery is a gem! My family and I stopped during a long weekend in Traverse City and enjoyed the most delicious breakfast sandwiches, lattes and pastries. It was so good I had to stop again for another croissant breakfast sandwich before heading to the airport. The staff were all very friendly and service was quick. Highly recommend!

My friends and I had a wonderful time eating an early dinner at Common Good Bakery (new location on 8th Street across from the old Ben Franklin). They had happy hour as well as a nice menu. We had the pizza with cheese and mushrooms (marinara sauce). It was delicious! We also had some tasty red wine! They serve wine and beer! Check it out! I will be back again soon!! Michelle

First time here but not disappointed. The people were very nice and patient, menu was extensive for someone like myself who loves flakey pastries. Breakfast croissantwhich was large so we shared. The cinnamon morning bun was a fancy version of an elephant ear with a top hat. Great coffee drinks as well. Well worth the visit, one of the best cafe’s for actual food I’ve been to. I could have posted photos but we ate all the evidence.
