My breakfast at Common Folk Coffee Bar was a delightful experience that catered to both my love for coffee and good food. As a purist coffee enthusiast, I opted for their pour-over coffee, where I had the pleasure of selecting the “Be About You” blend. Its mild citrus notes added a refreshing twist to my morning caffeine fix. The food here was equally impressive. I found their dishes hearty and flavorful, with no room for complaints. What stood out even more was their inclusion of vegan options—a definite gold standard for me when it comes to cafes. One of the highlights of Common Folk is their pet-friendly policy, allowing dogs inside the cafe area. This added touch of inclusivity and comfort makes it a place I’d gladly return to. Overall, Common Folk Coffee Bar offers a wonderful blend of quality coffee, delicious food, and a welcoming atmosphere. Whether you’re seeking a quiet coffee retreat or a spot to enjoy a meal with your furry friend, this cafe delivers on all fronts.

Location Good Location within White Plains, with sufficient parking area. The place is clean with minimalist vibe. Service Good service, friendly, helpful and efficient. Food and Drinks We opted to be safe and just ordered Spanish Latte (iced and hot) and original Buckys. Coffee was good, probably would try other options next time. Buckys is also good as always. Will definitely go back when we are within the area.

Coffee was great. Food was not bad but not great. We ordered: 3 Cheese Omelet - when I asked what cheeses were in the Omelet, server said Parmesan only. I asked why is it called 3 cheese if only Parmesan - he said because 3 eggs. When the food arrived, I am pretty sure it had more than Parmesan. Anyway, it needed salt. Truffle Fries - this was yum!! Chorizo Burger - this was too sweet.

Dropped by around 7–8 AM and it was a nice spot for a quick coffee and light work. We sat at the bar table in front—seats were comfortable, and there were some power outlets available if you’re planning to work. There are about 4-5 tables inside, so space is a bit limited, but it wasn’t crowded during our visit. Plenty of free parking that morning too We ordered iced spanish latte with oat milk and their to-go cold brew. The cold brew was a bit too concentrated for our taste, so we asked for a cup of ice and split it in half—worked out fine. They have free antacids sa counter which is a nice touch especially for titos and titas like us na acidin The standout was their grilled cheese sandwich—simple but good. A little on the pricier side, but the quality and vibe made it worth the visit. Staff were friendly and accommodating. Would definitely consider coming back for another productive morning.

Ordered: Vanilla Latte Coconut Americano Potato truffle wedges Carbonara Buffalo Burger The coffee from this cafe is delicious! I love their coffee! Tastes very fresh and smooth to taste. Lasang KAPE at hindi lasang sunog. The food was a mixed reaction. The potato truffle wedges are highly recommended! Like a solid 5/5. Crisp yet soft on the inside with a creamy truffle sauce. ( maybe would have been better if the sauce was not cold. ) The carbonara - was a MISS. Although the service size was quite generous, the noodles tasted old and frozen as it broke off easily. The sauce was a bit too thick and clumpy that was heavy to munch vs it being creamy. It definitely needs improvement. The buffalo burger was delicious! Id definitely come back here for the burger + coffee. Vibes was very chill. Place is very quiet, cold and very homey. Can probably stay here to munch and chill or just grab a coffee to go.

I am a regular of this place because their coffee is super duper good the space is small yet so homey. There’s a comfy vibe and perfect to catch up with friends (but definitely not for a romantic date) There are lots of parking space and even a korean grocery store beside it. Parking check The cafe has no restroom and will have to go outside I just want to note that before I used to love their buffalo chicken sandwich and even claim it the best ever… however with my last visit, I didn’t even finish half of it. Meat was almost raw and there’s some smell in it
