Common Space

4.4(519)✓ Google-verified

Reviewers consistently describe Common Space as a quiet, comfortable spot with relaxed R&B vibes and rattan furniture, where the smoked duck carbonara earns repeat visits. Prices sit slightly above average for the area, and plug points support work sessions. Staff generosity emerges in newer reviews (free drinks, patience near closing), though older visits flag uneven attitudes at the cashier and occasional food inconsistencies. The strawberry matcha and fried chicken pasta draw specific praise. Some dishes like tom yam pasta have arrived watery, and portions could be larger; a few reviewers note concrete chairs lack comfort.
