I'll try to keep this short and sweet, but this place has so much going for it that I don't want to miss anything. First, the location is exceptional -- right near Penn Station. Seating is limited, and if you want to sit, you must order off the menu. That makes perfect sense given the sky-high cost per square foot in this neighborhood. The menu is impressively eclectic and interesting, with Manhattan prices -- expect to pay around $30 per person. But here's the best part: the food absolutely delivers. The quality, presentation, creativity, and skill are all A++. I highly recommend the ricotta toast with fig -- it's simply outstanding. Their barista is also very skilled (see pics). All in all, this is a must-try if you're near Penn Station and want genuinely great food made by people who clearly care and take pride in their work. Easily one of the best spots in the area. I'll definitely be back! read more

This is a team and client favorite for breakfast right near a lot of Hudson Yards office space! Staff is always very friendly and both the food/coffee are top notch. Typical favorites are the yogurt bowl and avocado toast (attached photo for latest all day menu options and pricing). Pro tip- great storage/packing to-go options, so keep in mind if you're on the way to work and need to bring something in. Always speedy in a pinch. read more

Just a short walk from Peloton studios where you can fill up on delicious healthy food pre or post-workout. They have THE best whipped ricotta toast with honey and figs on cranberry walnut sourdough bread. They're soft-scrambled eggs are also a must-have. The atmosphere is delightful and busy, but so worth the wait! read more

Worth the wait! The restaurant is small so you may have to wait for breakfast but everything is perfection! My cappuccino, the whipped ricotta toast, the staff, the clean bathroom, everything! read more

Been having coffee to much, decided I need to switch it up and matcha was the correct choice. Whenever im near the area I alway swing by here for that morning coffee, but getting the matcha today was the right choice. The balance between the grassiness of the matcha combined with the creaminess of the milk and the sweetness blended together nicely. There's always a friendly atmosphere there and a line of people waiting for orders, but the service is quick. read more

Great brunch! We waited about 30 min for a weekend brunch as the space is quite small inside so I wouldn't go with more than a group of 2. The service was very efficient and I loved how much light the space got. I got the ricotta toast with a side of bacon which was delicious! read more

Way too strict of rules. You need to sit down and order a full meal, can't just have coffee with friends. You can't have your laptop out, and this place literally had 10 open tables. Overall, this place was going for a boujie aesthetic but it was ruined by not being welcoming at all. read more

We were walking downtown looking for the rhinos... and walked past this place. Taylor had not eaten lunch yet, so we stopped in. What a nice surprise. Service was great. Food arrived quickly. We were there at the end of business, but he sat us and just requested we order right away. That worked perfectly with our schedule. Richard had the avocado toast, which he said was one of the best made (all avocado, nothing added to take away from it). read more

Got lucky and scored a table this morning before there was a long line to get in. (Think we arrived a little after 9am...didn't see anywhere to make a reservation). I wasn't sure there would be table service based on photos and reviews I spied previously, but yes-there is. The owner was running the show and he has a lovely Australian accent. The menu is not overwhelming and there are enough options for whatever you might want. It's not a huge space and can get a little tight...so maybe don't bring a pile of luggage with you. Take out counter is busy as well. Coffee was hot and strong. I would have ordered another cup, but didn't have the opportunity. Solid reviews on the "eggs Bene"; I enjoyed my scrambled eggs with sourdough toast, salad and an add on of chicken apple sausage. I'd definitely grab a meal here again. read more

We were at the Javits Center for an event and wanted to find a spot for brunch afterwards. We got here around 1:45ish on a Saturday, we waited in line for a short amount of time but they got us seated quickly. We sat outside and enjoyed the weather. My friend and I split the French Toast and Griddled Cheese Toastie. Our other friend ordered the Shakshuka for herself and the Whipped Ricotta Toast for the table. Each item was great, the whipped ricotta was great and well done. I enjoyed the toastie, the addition of the fig jam and za'atar really elevated the dish and gave it a great flavor. As a big French Toast fan I was not disappointed with this dish. It was well made and the use of whipped mascarpone was great. Overall a great spot that I have already recommended to others. I will definitely be back the next time I'm in the area. read more

Walked by so many times and gave up because of the sweeping line outside but this time, we opted to sit outside and luckily didn't wait too long. Food was solid, no standouts. - Whipped ricotta toast: really skimped on the figs here, and does not compare to my admittedly high standards like the Misi one - Shahshuka: not bad - Breakfast sandwich: small and needed more sauce read more

I came in around 12pm in a Tuesday, and there's no wait. The place was cutely decorated. The Shakshuka was very good - not impressively good, but very good. I think the flavor could have a bit more variety, comparing to some other shakshukas I've had in other cities, but the eggs were surely boiled to the perfect temperature & texture. Avocado on the side was very fresh. Iced latte was, uhh, iced latte. The taste of the beans were on the bitter side, but it somewhat tasted watery; bitter and watery made kind of a weird combo. If you really do want to order coffee here, I'd recommend hot coffee instead of anything iced. The food price was very decent for the taste. I think coffees were overpriced for the quality. There were some outdoor seatings. Seemed it would be nice during a warmer day. read more

I did not eat here only did take out for coffee. That is a downside to this place. If you want to grab a to go coffee but want to sit and enjoy it for a little bit there is no where to sit here. It is only dine in for people who want to sit. As I was ordering my coffee I saw some food come out of the kitchen and wow it all looked very good. I am going to try and come back here one day to try the food out for breakfast/ brunch. When I came in I was greeted by a guy who maybe was the manager? He was very nice and asked how my morning had been going and we got to talking a little bit. I got an iced latte it was ok a bit on the strong side for my liking. And a bit too milky or something. I can't really pin point what I didn't really like about it. read more

This is a popular breakfast/brunch spot with long wait lines, especially on weekend mornings FYI! My party was seated outside and service was fine, but food wasn't outstanding in my opinion. We ordered the ricotta toast (popular for the aesthetics), smoked salmon tartine, and shakshuka. Nothing tasted bad, but again, it wasn't worth the long line in my opinion. However, it is a cute spot if you want a brunch more for vibes! read more

The French toast!! So incredible. My friend had the greatest vanilla latte. The scrambled eggs were good, but that French toast!!

Went for Sunday breakfast. Wait time was maybe 10 minutes for party of 2. Loved the ambiance - bright and airy. Music was a nice touch. Food was flavorful and colorful. Plated beautifully. My friend had a little crush on the friendly and welcoming handsome dude with the man bun/ponytail - assuming he was the manager or owner. read more

We were able to get in and out of this cafe very quickly due to their no computer/tablet rule and really efficient staff. It was perfect for a breakfast on a time crunch before leaving the city. We saw a line form while we were eating, but arrived with a group of 4 around 9am on a Sunday and were seated right away. Very cute, minimal and modern atmosphere and decor. We were greeted at entry and thanked at exit multiple times. My group got a range of items. The poached eggs in the shakshuka were cooked perfectly. I ordered the eggplant katsu sandwich, and was very pleased with how crispy the eggplant was! Their cold brew was very dark and concentrated, which is not my preference but my partner was happy with it, especially because the serving is pretty small (same size cup as the iced latte pictured in this post). They only have honey, simple syrup, and vanilla as cold drink sweeteners. read more

Deliciousness! Came here last Sunday for breakfast and was pleasantly surprised. It was crowded but we were seated within 5 minutes. Our waitress was nice and attentive. I had the pancakes, steak and eggs, French fries, and a moca warm beverage. 10s for everything. The pancakes were fluffy, and so filling. The only critic I would have is we wanted the steak medium and it was served to us - well done but it was still good. I'll definitely be back. read more

This is my second time eating breakfast here. Last year when I came for NY Toy fair I had breakfast, so of course this year I had to come back. The ricotta toast was melt in your mouth delicious.

Heard great things about this spot, and it was good! Popped in for some brekky before walking the city. The lattes were super strong, and the food was good. We sat outside in the cold so we wouldn't have to wait, but if you want to sit inside it quite a wait. Breakfast sandwich - YAY! Soft scramble eggs - okay. They were pretty bland but the toast was good. read more

I came here for the first time on a Monday morning. There was a line outside and a bit of a wait. I was finishing up a coffee and was told I had to finish it before I went in- which was fine. It was just odd as the coffee was almost done and I had at least 15 mins until getting seated. I got the shashuka which was okay. Also got the chai which was your average chai made with a syrup. The dishes were small but came with sourdough bread. We asked for a slice of lemon and also asked for butter. We were charged for both butter and lemon. The butter looked like it had been sitting out for a while. I was just surprised to be charged for those two items. We asked to sub sourdough for the pecan bread and even for a charge we were told that we could not. read more

Came by for breakfast on a weekday and it was packed! Given the location, I'm going to assume it's often busy. I ended up sitting outside, which was covered with umbrellas. I ordered the ricotta toast ($18) and an iced oat latte ($7.50). Both were delicious, though I do not think the toast is worth $18. Overall, I would come back to grab coffee to-go, but probably not to sit down and eat due to the crowds and limited seating. read more

Nice interior, with a decent amount of seating. Small menu but it has some great options. I went for the avocado toast and added a few eggs. I felt it very tasty! The black drip coffee was also nice. Service was efficient. I would recommend and return. Only downside is they close a bit early. read more

I'm not a big breakfast person but I am for this place. I walked by here during the week and the ambiance looked nice so I thought I'd give it a chance. The staff was incredibly friendly immediately upon walking in. I was able to be seated immediately which just seems to be because I came I'm at an odd time. I imagine earlier in the morning that it will be very busy. The food was delicious. I wish I had this place closer to where I'd live because I'd be here frequently, which honestly is better fir my waist line. On top of that, the staff was so friendly. They were busy but had a great/sweet temper. They answered any and all of my questions and were just so friendly read more

Went here for a last minute brunch on Sunday morning There was a wait time of course but staff was super efficient and kind and gave us regular updates. Menu is pretty small and not overwhelming which I appreciated I got the shakshuka and honestly this is my least favorite shakshuka I've ever had but that's just my personal preference My friends all got different things but they seemed to share the opinion the food was ok not amazing. Giving this 4 stars because the service and cafe were nice but I probably wouldn't go again for the food read more

As someone in the service industry, I can understand being busy and trying to turn tables can be difficult in such a small space with lines waiting outside to be seated, but the constant checking on by wait staff gave the impression that we were being hurried out of the restaurant while we were enjoying our food and drinks. I ordered the 'eggs bene', while the presentation and plating was nice, the flavor left a lot to be desired. I expected poached eggs with a Benedict, but instead I was served nearly-hard boiled eggs on sourdough toast with cold ham. While the hollandaise sauce provided the only source of salt and flavor on the plate, the portion I was served was very thick and curdled, and was overall unpleasant for a 20 dollar dish. Overall, In Common is a nice, cozy spot for a good coffee in the morning if you're in the area, but if your policy only allows seating for food orders, I'd expect something a bit more satisfying. read more

In Common NYC is hands down one of the best hidden gems in the entire Tri-State area. I came in with no expectations, and left absolutely blown away, not just by the food, but by the entire experience. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly greeted by the owner, Tass, who personally introduced himself and informed us of the wait time. That level of hospitality immediately set the tone. And while there was a bit of a wait, don't let that deter you, it's more than worth it. The interior ambiance is cozy yet modern, with thoughtful details that make you feel right at home. I came with a group of friends, and we began our brunch with a round of drinks: chamomile tea and chai lattes (both iced and hot) each one was perfectly brewed and full of flavor. From there, we basically sampled the entire menu, and I have zero regrets. Every dish was crafted with care and packed with flavor. Highlights included the avocado toast, the shakshuka, the Bene, French toast, and the scrambled eggs, each plate better than the last. I wrapped it all up with a refreshing green tea that was the perfect end to the meal. If I lived in NYC, In Common would 1000% be my go-to cafe. A huge thank you to the kind, attentive staff and to Tass for making this brunch so memorable. Incredible food, warm service, and a vibe that's hard to find, what more could you ask for? read more

Do not go here if you have any dietary restrictions. I'm allergic to eggs and want to get the breakfast sandwich with out egg. The server said absolutely not and that they don't allow any restrictions. I then tried to order three sides and she said absolutely not again that each person needs to order a main meal. Even though all my sides would equal a higher amount than one of the main courses. She then said I had to order berries and cream or granola...even though I don't like sweets. This is absolutely Ridiculous and I will never come back to the restaurant again. How can I not order a sandwich which cost $15 dollars without basically the sandwich ..the egg that I'm allergic too. She also said that it says no food substitution on the menu and it definitely does not. Absolutely awful read more

Very simple brunch spot best Hudson yards. Was quite full even for a random Tuesday lunch time but wait for a table of 2 was about 5mins. The space is very bright and white and has some outdoor seating which is always great. Got the brisket sandwich and the French toast and was very well pleased. Very flavorful sandwich and good meat as well. French toast was lovely even without syrup and the texture was very firm yet soft. Would definitely be back! read more

Hospitality was top notch. Food was great with a very quick turn around on tables gentlemen's who I believe was the owner was extremely nice

This is the first place we ate at while visiting NYC and I was quite disappointed. The food here is really overpriced and tiny tiny portions. I got the eggs Benedict and it was a tiny piece of toast with a slice of ham and 2 eggs- it costed $23, and it wasn't anything special. The London fog tea was pretty good so I would say only come here for drinks. Service was really nice. The cafe is very small so you're sitting pretty close to everyone. read more
