TIPS ELIGIBLE
In every city, village, and town the “common bond” that everyone shares is the love of good food. It bridges together all ages, cultures, and beliefs. From this idea, Common Bond Bistro & Bakery was opened in May 2014 in the Montrose area of Houston, TX. We now have 11 locations across the city of Houston where the community gathers to dine and bond over good food, extraordinary pastries, and custom cakes.
