Fifth Vessel Coffee

Great spot for focusing / food / coffee.I would definitely like to come back here.There aren't many outlets and the seating is only temporarily comfortable. It's a small interior but is nice for a temporary change of scenery.

Why 5 stars? Because the quality here is top notch. --- --- ---I was intrigued by the menu to order the "Super Special Espresso" because I'm a simpleton that can be wowed by a couple of extra adjectives in front of a standard drink order. But unfortunately, they did not have any of that left by the time we arrived, so I went with the Iced Filter coffee.It was about as smooth as coffee gets. I would order this on a very regular basis if it weren't an hour from my house. My wife ordered the Mayan Mocha, and was a little concerned about the inclusion of Cayenne Pepper, but it wasn't too noticeable when sipping. She can be a bit picky about her coffee, but she loved it. She let me try a couple of sips and while I normally just like black coffee, I thought it was excellent. It's rare for us to both like the same drink, so kudos to Fifth Vessel for achieving a level 5 rarity score. We usually like to try different coffee shops every time we are in Houston, but if we are anywhere near this place next time we are in the need of caffeine, it's going to be tough to pass up the opportunity for visit #2.

Just was in Houston over the weekend with some time to kill in the area so I decided to get some work done here. The place definitely lives up to its reviews! I ordered a Texas Blossom and it was perfect! The coffee was not too sweet and also not too strong but was a perfect pick me up. The shop has a very colorfully designed exterior and is on the smaller side. Otherwise I'd say the drinks did seem to be a little on the pricier side

Came here before court. I ordered a simple coffee and it was terrible. Nice clean coffee shop though.

Wow wow wow. This is some of the best coffee & hospitality I've ever had. The shop is a bit cozy but they utilized the space every well. The menu & baked goods all looked and smelled sooo tasty. I started with the chocolate chip cookie that is made in house..man this might be better than Grandma's cookies. The cookie was perfectly soft with crisp edges and the right amount of chocolate chips inside. The avocado toast was simple yet filling enough for a day of activities. I highly recommend stopping here. I wish I would have paid one more visit prior to leaving Houston.

Stumbled upon this lovely downtown coffee shop on a whim and I was not disappointed. Parking is metered and limited. The space inside is small and we came at a peak hour with lots of students/workers coming in and out. But eventually everyone cleared out and we were able to get a spot at the big table!On to the coffee - I really enjoyed the Iced Texas Blossom! Sometimes cardamom and honey can make coffee overly sweet or spiced, but this was very well balanced. The espresso was strong and not too acidic. I would love to try it hot next time!

First time at Fifth Vessel and it completely blew me away. I am attracted to its interior design and calm ambience. It's perfect for hanging out and studying even though the space can be a bit limited. Coffee is delicious and definitely meets the high quality craft standard. They also offer baked goods (they looked heavenly) which I definitely will have to come back and try next time.Service was super friendly. Everyone working behind the bar was extremely nice. It is definitely now one of my favorite must-stops for coffee. I highly recommend for anyone who is looking for excellent coffee!

Came here the other day because a friend of mine's recommended this coffee shop. I came in during the morning , it was pretty busy! I just ordered a vanilla iced coffee with oat milk. I will say it is a tad bit pricy I'm sure because of the location. It was about 8 dollars I want to say for this tiny coffee ( 7.58 to be exact) it was honestly nothing special and the taste was a bit bitter honestly for being vanilla? I want to give it one more try just to see, only thing it's super convenient when I'm in the area. Also apparently they give student discounts you just need to show some sort of proof, but they don't offer it. Will give an updated review once I try again!

Fifth Vessel Coffee in the First Ward, Downtown Houston is exceptional - from the coffee to the staff, my experience was great! I wish we had one in Orange County, CA! Stopped in for an iced coffee around 11 am to a bustling beautiful coffee shop. While I was ordering my iced latte, I noticed staff cutting up some fresh fruit (peaches) and asked if they served it on the menu. They let me know that they were preparing for a catering order, and it was not on the menu. After we ordered our coffees and waters, the cashier called me to the counter and said they'd sell me a bowl of fruit! Sweet! Kind gesture. I spoke more with staff and realized the baristas are from LA, and the owners are from Tustin, CA. So, we exchanged numbers! Very kind staff and happy we stumbled upon them near our hotel.Although we did not try any of their food items besides the fruit, they have a great menu with everything from avocado toast, lox to ham & gruyère chesse croissants. Their motto is wholesome people, and that ain't no fib!

Great Coffee! 10/10 Fast Service! 10/10 Nice clean atmosphere! Stopped by today for a coffee and i did not regret. Gave me the boost i needed and my gf got a cookie , i had a small bite it was pretty darn good! -Santangelo Balli Gonzales
