Katy Coffee Lab

WHAT I ORDERED: Iced PS I Love You, Iced Caramel BruleePARKING: Limited parking spotsINSIDE: Spacious area, connected to an apartment complex, friendly staff with quick serviceTHE FOODS/DRINKS: The drinks were lacking in flavor. I could taste the cinnamon in the PS I Love You but it didn't have any pumpkin taste. The caramel brulee tasted bland overall.

Ehh. This place is just ok due to its convenient location near the trail, but the quality of food/drink is average. The menu is limited and doesn't even have the ingredients listed for anything- you have to ask one by one until you find something that sounds good which just made me feel bad for asking what felt like too many questions. The establishment itself is in a modern luxury apartment building which is part of why the prices are pretty high. The cleanliness and customer service was lacking. Parking is subject to availability on the street or in a small side lot.

I came here to do some work on my computer and I enjoyed their cold brew. Wi-Fi is provided along with decent amount of seating area. The service was okay. The area is clean, organized, and well-lit.

I had a mixed experience here. I was staying at the Guild so this coffee shop was super convenient. It's cute too, very modern design and I like that it has couches and outlets to charge!However my first experience here was when I was checking in and had time to kill. I came over to the counter to order and there was no worker around, so I sat down and 5 mins later a guy finally comes. I order an iced VGL and a sandwich because they were out of avocado toast. The order took a very long time AND they burned my sandwich! The food was fine except for the burnt part... If I were to rate off of this experience alone I'd only give it two stars.But the next two times I came by to get coffee and the lady who worked there was much friendlier and faster. I got an iced vanilla oat latte the next couple of times which I liked more than the VGL too. I gave it an average score from my very differing experiences, I guess it depends who is working on that day/time.

Off the beaten path of Katy trail-underneath an apartment complex- lays home to Katy coffee lab. It's a cozy bright space with lots of seating, tables and couches. The barista behind the counter was super friendly and kind. I don't think they provide wifi here, so studying here bight be a bit tough. Coffee is pretty standard, I remember enjoying a cappuccino, but nothing too mind blowing.

This coffee counter and seating is located inside the Katy apartment building. Very quiet with plenty of comfortable seating, big windows, and natural light. Getting into the Katy parking garage was a little complicated (had to do the whole u-turn and loop dee loop thing) but once you do it once, you'll know for next time. The coffee was decent ($5 something for my cold brew), and the quiet and spacious seating area is worth it just for that. Will definitely come back if I'm in the area and need a quiet place to chill.

I was staying at the Guild so this place is super convenient. Also convenient if you are finishing the Katy Trail near the AA entrance. Yes, they are short staffed, but that is the world we are in right now, and I don't really feel it should be taken out on small businesses...I ordered a latte, it was good, and the service was friendly. There is a lot of inside seating as well as tables outside.

This place is super spacious and you can spread out and study. There's outdoor seating as well and dog friendly. Right across from the Katy Trail and you can pop in for coffee and continue on the trail, and right next door to the Katy Apartment and lobby. Parking isn't great, it's under a garage and no one leaves the guest parking on weekends.

Came in on a Wednesday and loved the secret menu recommendation. Will be coming back soon!! Try out their banana split latte

First the good: The filter brew that I had was really nice - a light and sweet Colombian with lots of fruit coming through. I'd come back to try other brews, for sure. The espresso, otoh... sour. And this is where the rating comes from. One of my pet peeves: When the opening staff arrives at, not before, the time the shop is supposed to open. And it's not about the door being unlocked a few minutes after the hour - it's about then having to wait for staff to get everything ready. Can I wait a bit for the coffee to brew? Sure. But I shouldn't have to. So back to the espresso... Instead of being served a shot of espresso that's been dialed in nicely, I get whatever comes out, and mine was under extracted and sour.I'll end on another positive: Other than opening late, the service was great. The barista was super nice. Even as it started to get busier and she was prepping for the day, she was incredibly pleasant and provided everyone with great service.
