Picked up a Matcha Latte and a Flat White and both were delicious and well made, would recommend popping in to get your java fix! I also posted a picture of their menu.

I’m a bit of a cafe hopper, only recently discovered this place and it’s certainly one of the best, definitely a hidden gem. Had to do a long and tiring study grind but this place was really cozy and the coffee was comforting on a cold day. The donut flavours surprised me, tried the mango white chocolate chai one and it was the best donut I’ve ever had. Will definitely return!

Commonwealth Coffee has their game dialed in. The vibe is sharp without being pretentious, and the coffee? Easily some of the best in the city. You can tell they actually care about quality…beans are spot on, the milk is done right, and every cup comes out consistent. Service is fast, friendly, and on point, which is rare these days. This place isn’t trying too hard…they just know what they’re doing, and they do it well.

I have visited few cafe's in London, Ontario till date but commonwealth coffee is head and shoulders above other cafe's. I have visited it twice only but the food quality, prompt service and groovy music builds up the entire atmosphere. It is a place I would recommend to people of all ages to visit if you wish to have a gala time without spending a whole lot of money.

Cute little coffee place with DELICIOUS donuts and baked goods! Great place to hang out, do some work, or grab something to go. Update March 2024: They now offer Lady Glaze Donuts instead of Boxcar, and they are so so good! So many flavours, makes it hard to choose what to get! Love the aesthetic of the cafe too. :)

This place has the absolute best donuts in London 100%. They have super cool delicious flavours that change every week and really cute apparel! Definitely worth trying out. Not all our experiences here were great but the donuts themselves are awesome.

Quality. And it adds to the quality of not only downtown places, but places in London. Thanks for still being here after all these years. And love your iced coconut caramel latte.
