Common Man Coffee Roasters (Martin Road)

wasn’t a dish that made an impression but can i just say the vanilla ice cream was so good? best eaten with ice cream and the chocolate sauce! p.s. there’s a reason why they gave these two with it 🙈

this was initially underwhelming but it got better the more we ate it! the fries was warm, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, and taste SO FRESH, wonder if it’s hand cut fries! herbs tho wasn’t very apparent except for the paprika. can order if you need an easy snack!

really a full breakfast and everything was so on point 🤌🏻 scrambled eggs were creamy soft curds that were perfectly made - sourdough was fragrant, crisp outer and tender inner - hashbrown was so unique, imagine rosti but a thicker bite size version! - their baked beans were hands down the nicest bakes beans i’ve ever had, tasted like it was freshly made! - portobello was so juicy, fresh and sweet that i enjoyed it on its own too!

Using responsibly-sourced, specialty-grade coffee beans from various regions, the cafe offers a wide range of house blends that are deliciously smooth

We visited Common Man Coffee Roasters late enough such that their lunch menu was ready! We ordered the Cubanos Sandwich as it had a pretty interesting name and we haven't tried a savoury item from Common Man before! The dish comes with two really big sandwiches, each containing shredded pork, ham, pickles, jalapenos and filled with raisin chutney. The bread used for the sandwich was amazingly tough and it may take some effort to cut/bite through although it really does help in holding your sandwich together. The pork and ham were generous although we felt that the most interesting part of the sandwich was the use of raisin chutney, which gave the sandwich a spicy (probably from the use of chillies) and zesty (probably from the use of vinegar) flavour at the same time! 😮

The dish comes with a pretty generous serving of fries that were covered with a small amount of chilli powder. Fries were rather thick-cut, although they were nothing to be wowed over! For $26++, this was a really heavy dish and if you are not a big eater, you may want to consider sharing this with someone else.

Surprisingly, we managed to get a table for 4 at Common Man quite easily on a Saturday morning as we were mentally prepared to queue for a bit to get a table!

Really amazing! The environment is relaxing and the food is so good! I love the sourdough and poached eggs most! The sourdough has crispy outside and soft middle with the strong aroma of wheat, which highlights the whole day of a bread-holic. All other meat and vegetables are also so good while the flavors combined really amazing! The only bad thing is the price . A bit expensive($30) for a brunch. With a cup of coffee and gst，I spent &42 on brunch.
