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

Counter area

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.

Iced americano

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!

Cobb salad

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!
Michael N.

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.

Breakfast burrito

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.

If you're in the mood for a serious sweet treat, this place absolutely delivers. The whole concept is so fun. They've reinvented the classic marshmallow with a full s'mores bar where you pick from the menu and they build and toast it right in front of you. Between the gourmet marshmallows, cupcakes, and milkshakes made with Blue Bell ice cream, it's basically a sugar lover's playground. My daughter ordered the Cookie Monster shake, which was as outrageous as it sounds. She walked out with a full-on sugar buzz and a bright blue tongue, which honestly felt like a childhood rite of passage. Mission accomplished. Is it a day's worth of calories? Probably. Was it worth every bite? Absolutely. The staff is super friendly and helpful, and the shop itself is cute and really clean, which makes the whole experience even better. I'll admit I'm a little relieved we don't live down the street anymore because we definitely need the recovery time between visits. But when the sweet tooth hits, this place is a blast.

Located right next to 99 ranch and other Asian stores, 85c has Asian pastries, cookies, breads and drinks. We enjoyed a few baos with cream filling, a slice of coffee cake and the black milk tea. I usually don't get chocolatey things at Asian bakeries because they rarely "do" chocolate well, and it was the same here: the chocolate chip cookie and black forest cake were only okay and just not rich enough with a cocoa taste. Sign up for their rewards program to get discounts and promotions, even though you have to buy quite a bit to get anything and the points expire. Compared to non-Asian bakeries, everything is a much more reasonable price overall. A few tables are available, though I can imagine it being crowded. Still would love to get an 85c closer to home!
