The Great Commoner

This was our first time here. The place itself is very nice and clean with very nice decor. The service was great as was the food. Our waiter Adam was great. He was Very patient with us because we were torn on what to order. He gave us some recommendations and he was absolutely on point with his suggestions. I had the prime rib hash, my mom had steak and eggs, and we shared an order of pancakes….absolutely amazing. We will be returning!!

This is my new favorite brunch spot in Dearborn. The Great Commoner feels like stepping into a boutique café somewhere in London — chic, cozy, elevated, and somehow still welcoming. The vibe is effortlessly stylish without feeling pretentious. The service has been consistently excellent every time I’ve gone: attentive, accurate, and naturally friendly instead of overly rehearsed. You can tell the staff genuinely cares about the experience. And the food? Amazing. Every dish looks beautiful enough for Instagram, but actually tastes as good as it looks — which isn’t always the case with trendy brunch spots. The coffee, pastries, and brunch menu all feel thoughtfully curated, and the atmosphere makes you want to stay longer than you planned. Perfect for brunch with friends, solo coffee dates, or even getting a little work done during the week. One of those places that makes Dearborn feel unexpectedly cosmopolitan.

WOW! My friend and I just had a phenomenal first time here and we will absolutely be returning to try more of the menu! Not only was the food phenomenal and the atmosphere lovely, but our server (Sarah) was A GEM! Sarah was attentive, helpful, and added some extra smiley happiness to our breakfast. It was a beautiful time overall. Consider us regulars after today! We will be requesting Sarah as our server whenever we can!

Firstly, I loved the atmosphere / aesthetic and wanted to point that out since it was the first thing I noticed as my first time there. I’ve been wanting to try this place for a while and made a reservation online and was promptly seated when I arrived. The staff was amazing. Adam, was our server and he was amazing! I actually ended up getting everything he recommended which was the honey bee latte - it was so good and then women who brought it was very kind, he recommended the short rib hash and it was phenomenal, the flavor of the dish brought everything together beautifully. I am gluten free due to having celiac disease and had no issue with options nor cross contamination and he notified the kitchen of my allergy. Everything was clean, delicious, and prompt. I will definitely be back again!

Enjoyed a family holiday at this brunch/lunch spot. The place was crowded but efficient and the service was excellent. Diana was knowledgeable and gracious and ensured that we enjoyed our meal. Jimmy checked on us often and even initially kept us updated after we arrived on time for a reserved space that was still occupied. The pistachio cortado and shak shuka were homey and delicious. The arugula/beet salad was equally fresh and yummy. Worth the wait!
