Curator’s note

Commons opened in Sky Park Circle to share the coffee its staff love with the neighborhood, and within its first months it ran a GLITCH bar takeover, then a weekend with Josef Chung of Walnuts behind the bar. For the Walnuts weekend, Josef roasted a Panama Geisha for Commons alone.

The Coffee

Pour-overs are brewed by the cup, and the espresso comes as the house blend or a guest from roasters such as Oasis. Since September 2026 Commons has roasted some of its own coffee as well, starting with a washed Caturra from Tarrazú.

The Vibe

The room runs gray from the walls to the glossy concrete floor, under a black ceiling of exposed ducts and track lights, with a long stainless-steel bar and a black La Marzocco at its head. Light wood stools line the wall bench, a framed black-and-white photograph hangs over the bar, and stainless swing doors close off the back.
