Commonwealth Cafe

What a lovely place to get breakfast on a weekend morning! Service was nice and friendly! Around 10:30 am there was no line , so we ordered an omelette and a sandwich 🥪 with two lattes and a slice of a carrot cake 🍰. 15% tips are already included if you’re taking it “for here”. Food was brought quickly to the table and everything was delicious 😋 It got crowded quickly, so we were happy to get there early. Tends to be a bit louder on the inside, but outdoors was absolutely amazing. Will be coming back to try avocado toast and the breakfast bowl

This place is great and I highly recommend it. I like the format: you order at the counter and pay, wait for a table, and they bring your food to you.

The food is fantastic. They have some really unique choices. The Mediterranean quiche is absolutely incredible.

The staff is friendly and helpful, and the place is clean. The atmosphere is chill and fun; casual. They have rolling doors that open during the nicee weather and outdoor seating.

I visited this place with friends and then again with the family for Mothers Day because I loved the food.
The ambiance is great. You have to tand in line to order first and then get a table.
Both visits, it wasn't super hard to get a table for a party of 8. Great service!
We ordered Farro bowl (LOVEed) Enchilada bowl, Tinga chicken, pan cakes, grilled cheese t soup, Hot chocolates , coffee, etc... everything was delicious!!
The parking structure is very walkable and free on weekends.

I stop by here around once a week, always helpful customer service. Delicious and beautifully designed lattes that never come without art. An extensive and very healthy menu, and great atmosphere. Also, really nice in the summertime when the windows are open! Pictures are from a few different visits, including yesterday!

We ordered chia seed pudding bowl, vegan sourdough banana pancakes with house made Nutella, iced coffee and bean soup. The house Nutella was so delicious and is definitely worth having. I liked the soup and the bread. Want very happy with the pudding, could enjoy some granola in it but appreciate the coconut and mango combination. Liked the bread too. The coffee blend was really nice. In the iced coffee, I get that the ice had some distinct smell which made me conscious while having the coffee.

So cute in here! Vegan food was a 10/10, tons of unique options for breakfast! Their cookie had the perfect balance of crunch/soft and the latte art was beautifully done. The sweet potatoes on the farro bowl were definitely a stand out. Banana pancakes had vegan Nutella, which was delicious, and had a nice thickness overall. If you’re vegan, definitely come here for a filling breakfast!

Went for breakfast, it was our third time. It’s usually very busy so there was a wait. Loved the outdoor seating. The order, then sit down system worked well. Cashier was very accommodating and patient since I had forgotten to order something and had to order a second time. Food came fast. The vegetarian Mexican omelette (seasonal) was truly excellent. Everything is on the expensive side though.

I'm not a breakfast person, but I still love their food. Everything at this place is worth it. Im certain every item off the menu is fantastic. Even just their baked good and lattes. We love this place. Their prices are high but it's the rare case that I think price matches quality.

I've been here many times and Commonwealth never disapoints... We had the shitake omlette, avacado toast and a fried egg sandwich w/sausage. They are always fast, friendly and delicious!!! It's a unique experience and menu and I look forward to continuing my adventure through their menu. 😋

the French toast was life changing!! The hot chocolate was pretty and delicious. Got the avocado toast, poached eggs with sourdough and side salad. Would get everything again!!

My friends and I met there for brunch on a snowy winter morning. The dreary weather has us all feeling a little poopy, but our moods changes when we got our food.
I don't remember what I ordered but I get a good shot of it and remember it being spicy and so delicious! The coffee and specialty lattes were great too, you have to try at least one when you go.

I always love coming here! An absolute favorite. I’ve tried many items on the menu and it’s always, fresh, delicious & beautiful!! My favorite is that they have many options for gluten free & vegan eaters! If you’re in the area, stop in! Plus, the atmosphere is always welcoming! This time, I ordered the quinoa bowl! Yummmm

I loved the concept of this restaurant. You wait in a line, order your food, then are seated by the waiters. The food we ordered was very delicious. The coffee tasted exactly like its supposed too. I would recommend the breakfast burrito.

If you're looking for a definitive Birmingham brunch place, you've found it. It actually feels a bit like you ducked into a restaurant in Brooklyn. You order and then are escorted to a table with your group. It's very popular because everything is so damn good. I also think the coffee is some of the best in Metro Detroit. Try the chorizo hash. Also the best thing in the whole restaurant is the coconut raspberry (somehow gluten free) torte. Try it, trust me

A good restaurant with unique open seating as the name suggests. Good industrial decor and minimalist menu. Pretty much what you expect from eclectic Birmingham downtown neighborhood. Now coming to food, start off with coffee and banana bread- pretty good. Food items we ordered were filling and great taste. Great place for brunch, it does get steady stream of customers but tables are not difficult to find

My very first experience and the food was great. My food was fresh and hot. Great atmosphere and customer service. I will be returning again for brunch.

I recently visited Commonwealth in Birmingham, Michigan and was impressed. I had the tandoori chicken wrap and really liked the flavors. The wrap was served with a side of fresh greens and tasty shallot vinaigrette.

One of the things that really stood out to me about Commonwealth was the cozy, inviting, and unique atmosphere. The restaurant was filled with plants and a couple trees, which added to the warm and welcoming vibe. The staff was also friendly and attentive.

Another plus was the quick service. Despite the restaurant being busy, my food was brought out to me in a timely manner.

Overall, I highly recommend Commonwealth for anyone looking for a tasty and convenient dining experience in Birmingham, Michigan.

The lemon tahini farro bowl is amazing. I’m happy they made it into a regular menu item and not just a monthly special. It’s honestly one of the best meals I’ve ever had a restaurant. Please keep it around!

I’ve been here a few times and the lattes, food, and customer service is not something you find everywhere! It’s all on point

Food is delicious. Particularly enjoyed the Tandoori chicken wrap and the Common Scramble. Prosciutto and shaved on toasted sourdough is decadent and scrumptious
