    Commons Coffehouse is located down in Gilbert within a cool modern building housed on the campus of Redemption Church. The building is large, bright, and open, letting in tons of natural light through the garage door style windows. I enjoyed reading my book inside along with a nice lotus energy drink in front of the large windows. Then I was ready for lunch and to head outdoors. The staff were all friendly and welcoming and even checking on me throughout my stay. You can't go wrong with the sandwich menu since it's made with Boar's Head meats and Noble bread. They also have burgers and a quesadilla. I took my Savory Italian ciabatta panini outside to enjoy the perfect AZ fall weather and views of the large grass lawn. The savory sandwich and peaceful atmosphere was just what I needed for a chill day off.

    unfortunately the experience here was less than ideal even though I had such high hopes! The main factor getting the stars for this review is the space. it is expansive, clean, and modern. I would have been a regular here because there is plenty of seating that would allow for me to do any work with less distraction lol. The service was also what added the additional star because the baristas were courteous and nice. Unfortunately, what was docking the rest of the stars is two things...one was a foul odor that emitted the space. It was almost like toilet overflowing smell which is not appetizing when you are looking to grab a drink and a bit. Although we had planned to get food too, my friend and I decided just to stick with drinks. I opted for a blended dirty chai and unfortunately it was terrible. It did not taste like there was any espresso in it and the chair itself tasted so artificial and had a weird aftertaste. I was considering asking for another drink but saw that they were super busy and we opted not to wait. Unfortunately with this experience I am unsure if I'd come back. xx

    Nice, large space with lots of tables. There were two tables devoted to groups and since this coffee place is located in the Redemption Church complex, my guess is that they were bible study groups. The grounds are fabulous - there must be 20-30 acres of space with grass, walkways, etc. very beautiful. I ordered a single breakfast sandwich and it was good. I was surprised that orange juice was not available. There also wasn't any salt. I could have asked for it but there was a big line at the counter. There wasn't much service to speak of since it's a counter service place. The workers were very friendly, though. Would I come here again? Yes, if I was in the area, which is Gilbert.

    I have been looking for a new place to study and I came across The Commons. The coffee shop is located on a church campus. The dining area is very open and pretty. I ordered an iced americano and the price was super reasonable. I think it was only $3. The employee behind the counter was helpful and sweet. I ended up spending 3 hours in the sitting area working on homework. I would recommend!

    This place is a little hidden gem. It is so cute with bright open space, with floor to ceiling windows. It's tucked back in a church. The food is good and the staff are incredibly sweet. Food came out quick and is fresh. Whenever I'm in the area I will be returning. Great little place to work too for the professionals.

    Great place to study!

    Lovely place to study, hangout, chill, read, or grab a cup of coffee. Prices are very reasonable and there are tons of tables and couches to hangout at. My only issue is that the hours are very limited and they are closed 3 days of the week. From the road the coffee shop is not visible but it is located next to Redemption Church, once you enter the parking lot, follow the signs and it'll take you there!

    Indoor seating with good views

    Great place to work and grab lunch! Good view and natural light. Lots of room to find a spot and work for a few hours. Food was good too - lots of options.

    This place is a gem. It's always chill, and the Wi-Fi is faster than it is at my house. We come here to work often and even bring the dog. There's a big grass area for them to run around too. It's weird it's on a church campus, but it runs as a separate business. I'm not religious, but I'll keep coming back for the Wi-Fi, great coffee, and food

    I love this coffee shop. It's kind of hidden away between other buildings at this church, but it is worth searching out. The coffee and tea are delicious. Food is also good quality as well and the staff is extremely friendly and helpful. I haven't tried the baked goods, but they look enticing as well. This is a casual environment and there's lots of natural light because of the huge windows they have. I would think it would be a great place to study because it's generally pretty quiet. Prices are reasonable and comparable to other coffee shops, and the quality is outstanding. In terms of quality you definitely get more bang for your buck than at a commercial coffee shop and you are also buying local!

    Since this is attached to the church is this super busy on Sundays? Looking for a place for a friend and I to come and work on something together.

    It's relatively busy in Sunday's, but only right before or after services. The rest of the time you would be able to find seats and order quickly.

    My boyfriend and I quite enjoyed our visit. I was really…read morecraving a fresh flavorful, savory croissant, and this fulfilled my craving. I opted for the Ham and cheese croissant, and the sausage croissant. Both breading was fantastic. Good flavor, airy yet crispy, just really well made. I will definitely come back for the ham and cheese croissant. The sausage croissant wasn't really for me (the bread was) it truly is a big sausage in there. It had good flavor, just isn't for me. If they could make just a plain cheese or bacon and cheese that would hit the spot lol We also got their regular cinnamon roll. The breading had a lovely sweet cinnamon flavor and the icing on top had a delicious creamy taste without being overly sweet. The odd part for us was the filling in the inside. I couldn't decide if I cared for it or not, I was almost feeling it was pushing the sweetness over just a bit so l may or may not get that again. Even tho they have seating inside, it feels more like a grab and go. You can def enjoy your item there. But I wouldn't say a spot where you can sit and catch up with a Friend or read a book. It also felt a bit too warm and stuffy so cranking down the AC a bit would help it feel more inviting especially from coming outside from the Arizona heat. I like to enjoy a warm beverage with my dessert and I couldn't imagine doing it in there. We opted to eat in our car Service was friendly and patient. We arrived on a Saturday around 1130 am and their was plenty of items available Can't wait to come back

Whatever else happened during that visit, those cookies were a VERY good introduction to the bakery. I have not actually been into Rise Up Bakery myself, so this review is based entirely on the delightful and delectable cookies I got to try. There was a sugar cookie, oatmeal raisin, chocolate chip, M&M, and several others. I started by pinching off a little piece of one, then another, and then another. Before long I felt like such a little piggy because I had sampled nearly every cookie in the box. The problem was that every time I tried a new one, it was just as good, if not better, than the one before it. I kept thinking I had found my favorite, only to change my mind with the next bite. And these cookies were BIG hoggers too, probably around 6 inches across. These are not little dainty cookies you mindlessly nibble on. They have some size to them, and thankfully the flavor matches. So while I can't review the bakery itself, the atmosphere, or the service just yet, I can absolutely review the cookies. Based on those alone, Rise Up Bakery has definitely gotten my attention. Four stars for now, and mostly because I feel like I need to actually visit the bakery before handing over the fifth.

As I looked around, I couldn't help but think that if I lived there, I'd probably be stopping in daily. The combination of a bakery and coffee house makes it the perfect neighborhood spot. Although I skipped the coffee this visit--it was mid-afternoon on a Sunday, and I wasn't looking for a caffeine boost--I'll definitely be back to give it a try. For this visit, we focused on the baked goods and sampled four items: the chocolate croissant doughnut, maple croissant doughnut, vanilla doughnut, and a red velvwtcupcake. Every single one was delicious. The croissant doughnuts were wonderfully flaky with just the right amount of sweetness, the vanilla doughnut was soft and flavorful, and the red velvet cupcake was rich and satisfying. It's rare to find a bakery where every item you try is a winner, but this one delivered across the board. Whether you're stopping in for coffee, a sweet treat, or both, this charming bakery is well worth a visit. I'll definitely be back.

Perhaps dining in is a better experience, I can't remember if they warm up the pastry but we took our maple, cheesecake croissant, and cinnamon roll to go. It tasted a day old. The croissant/ bread didn't taste fresh, almost stale. I opted to warm it up a bit, it was a bit better but then it just started feeling too sweet so I wasn't interested anymore. the cinnamon roll breading lacked flavor, but the cream on top was good. But again the bread dough just felt stale. It was a Sunday in the AM that we went. Not busy at all. Since it's a part of an apartment, parking is a little awkward and can feel tight. You could easily not notice the place and mistake it for being closed. It's right off of the round about. (the wind had blew over the open sign and the open sign wasn't lit) Service is okay, nice enough. Not really warm. Seating is ample and is cozy to sit and read or catch up with a friend.
