"Luce Ave Coffee Roasters has been on my coffee radar for quite some time, but just never got around to trying them out. I happened to have dinner next door and when I pulled up I saw they were next door. It was a no brainer to check them out for a nice after dinner and drive home treat. I came in the evening and the place was fairly busy. The shop itself is narrow but has plenty of seating and did not feel crowded at all. It seemed like the it spot in the neighborhood to get some work done as everyone had their heads in a screen of some sort. Customer service was ok. The person who took my order only spoke when spoken to and only offered assistance with the menu when asked. No biggie, I got the information that I needed eventually. Their menu has a lot of variety. They have your everyday classic options like espresso, cappuccinos, lattes, etc. One of their featured items are the charcoal drinks. They also have cold drinks, teas and frozen drinks. I was curious about some of the signature drinks but that category had no descriptions of the drinks. I ended up with the Island Latte which was a latte with pandan syrup and coconut milk. Definitely very islandy. Once stirred and all the flavors were incorporated, that drink was absolutely delicious. It had just the right amount of sweetness for my taste buds. The hints of vanilla from the pandan mixed with the coconut flavors made for a tasty sip. I usually say I would definitely come back here if in the area, but not this time. Word on the streets is they are opening up a location right in my neck of the woods in Pearland soon. Can't wait!"
"I stopped by to get coffee on the way to Killen's BBQ. I think there's also another BBQ spot directly next door here.I got a cappuccino and my eating partner got an iced coffee. The barista was nice. They have oat milk! It was just over $10 for the two drinks. It was nice and quiet inside with some seating. I saw some people on their laptops, so maybe it's a nice place to get some work done. There is a parking lot, but it's not really paved."
"We picked up a couple tasty coffee drinks. When I try a "new to me" coffee spot I order my go to drink, a hot cappuccino with two splendas....done to perfection here. My wife's go to drink is usually a frozen blended concoction....also done very well, I know because I must sample everything to give an honest review, right?! I love great roasted whole coffee beans I can grind at my house whenever I want, so I picked up a bag of Kona black sand signature blend. The first batch I ground made a very nice cup of jo. The only down side to these beans is there's no roast date on the bags. The roastery is on the premises and you can see everything through a big window, I like that."
"Gelato is sooooo creamy and delicious and Sorbet. Cookies and fried pies. Also they have great coffee. So good. I will definitely stop on the way home for the gelato. They were bringing out their Fresh watermelon gelato. Try their Tennesee drink with Whiskey... OMG so delicious ! Outdoor seating. Find this place it is definitely worth the drive."
"An excellent cafe. The menu is long, with all the typical espresso-based options, plus a long list of flavored lattes, plus a good list of less common brewing options (various French press, pour-over, etc). I had a cafe Cubano that was strong and sweet with great crema. It was amazing. I also had a latte that was smooth and extremely well balanced.There are also several interesting food options, and the croissant I got was better than is generally found at grocery stores. The barista was helpful and very engaged."

Luce has easily become one of my "go-to" coffee spots in the city for it's consistency and it's convenience from a location standpoint. The Luce on Richmond is SUPER tiny, so it doesn't exactly invite you to want to stay, but the Luce in the Heights has two stories and is a COMPLETELY different vibe in my opinion. The heights location has a lot more parking available and is a much bigger space than the one on Richmond. I believe there is one more location, but I have not visited that one yet. On the weekends I like to study at the Heights location and hang out for a while. They have fast internet and a great section to study. I wish there was a couch or something, but I recognize this place is busy so that probably wouldn't be the best idea. I've tried many of their drinks including: Caramel Macchiato Island Latte White Mocha They've always been really accommodating for lowering the overall sweetness of all of these drinks and so far, I haven't found one I dislike. I'm more of a hot coffee drinker, so I haven't ventured into trying any of their charcoal drinks yet. Every Friday I try a new local coffee shop and I always find myself coming back to Luce, so this company is obviously doing something right.

Any time I am in Pearland, this IS my must visit coffee shop! It's so good. The Miel is my favorite but have tried many of their seasonal offerings over the years. The baristas are fast and friendly. The shop has space for seating but usually I grab and go. Support this local gem of Pearland!!

I love a good coffee shop. Kona has a really nice vibe and it's a great place to get some work/reading done. During my first visit to Kona, I met some friends. I ordered a cheese and egg breakfast bagel sandwich and a hot matcha latte. Kona is a Hawaaiin-based cafe and it's definitely giving Hawaii vibes, aloha honey. The customer service is great and this cafe is definitely on my list of favorites.

Literally one of the best coffee shops I've ever been to.So much variety on the menu both with coffee and food,you could start and end your day here! The staff you can see as you walk in inside the lab making magic happen,I love that. Tucked off in a quaint little neighborhood with cute houses everywhere. If I'm ever in Seabrook this is my place!

Nice little coffee shop we visited while in town. We got a flat white and an affogato. Both tasted amazing. They had quite a large menu for a coffee shop with snacks and some food items, Frappes and milk shakes and many other things. The employees weren't overly friendly but pleasant enough I guess. We will definitely find time to stop in again when we're in town.

Nestled in the downtown/midtown area, this cozy coffee spot boasts a few small tables and two communal ones for sharing. As you step in, the delightful aroma of freshly brewed coffee welcomes you--a treat in itself, in my opinion. Opting for something different, I ordered the Citrus Iced Americano.The drink arrived beautifully presented, topped with a frozen bear that slowly infused its flavor into the beverage as it melted--an intriguing touch.The ambiance was warm, and everyone, especially the owner, was incredibly friendly. Engaging in conversation with the owner revealed fascinating insights about him. After spending a couple of hours chatting with my friend who recommended this place, the owner kindly offered us test drinks, seeking our opinion. It's interactions like these that would make me want to return.

"This place is adorable and gives off cozy vibes! Came here for a coffee to go. They have a decent amount of seats but it seems like it gets busy! Our coffees came out very quickly tho and the baristas were super nice. Had the iced berry espresso- for me this was a bit too strong but I think mixed with some milk I would have really enjoyed this. Although this drink wasn't my thing I can def see how people enjoy it! The vanilla latte was amazing- perfectly sweet and creamy, this was fantastic! Overall this is a great place to check out!"
"I love this little cafe. I go here when I get my nails done at Majestic Nail s since it's right next door. Their coffee (espresso) is deliciously rich and strong, which I love. My favorite thing to get is the ham and cheese croissant, it's fresh and delicious. I've sat at this Cafe to read and felt very comfortable with the noise level. I recommend this place for a quick bite, coffee date or meeting or just to lounge."
"Oh my god! It felt like a discovery- this is such a cool coffee place. They roast their own coffee beans in the very big machine on display right at the entrance. They have some really unique options and the super knowledgeable friendly guy makes some insightful suggestions too.I am half inclined not to give a review so I can keep this place to myself.... but here I am...They run a painting studio for kids aged about 7 and also a little library. Coincidentally we had a bunch of books we were going to donate in the car, we offloaded all here ..... u can keep the books if u wish or recycle.... wonder how many more years will u see people actually holding a book but while it lasts ... this place is one of the options to find random written treasures.They have limited indoor seating due to the studio and the coffee machine, but it is extended upstairs. Also there is plenty seating outside but wonder who would choose that in the heat wave going on in the country currently. Plenty of parking too. We got a 'Been here' version of the Flat White and something called Moo Cha Cho latte for myself. The Moo Cha Cho is like chai chocolate and milk combination and does not need any sweetener added to it. They have small bites too which, I believe is sourced from a local bakery.The music, its very mild and they play the old classics, I never thought I'd hear a , ' Walk like an Egyptian', or 'Papa don't preach', in any cafe in this day and age. It was really cool.Love it."
"Three key cafeThe cafe was open at 9 on a Saturday, but during weekdays its open by 7 though. Located inside the historic Finn Hall building, this coffee shop is at the very entrance. They supposedly get a small batch of 6 bagels freshly made ... and he had two remaining....hmmm.....maybe possible considering the crowd in downtown on a Saturday is very limited.He knew what we meant exactly when we mentioned cafe au latte and he custom made the coffees for us with a shot of espresso, cream and milk. I got mine with almond milk. We also got that 'limited' bagel with cream cheese.Both were good. If you are in the area, it should definitely be on your schedule to stop by the Finn Hall."
"Great coffee spot in the area! The vibes were great. Quiet enough to where you can study or get some work done, but also catch up with a friend. There's plenty of seating. I tried their pistachio and honey iced latte, which is super unique because I don't see a lot of coffee places that serves pistachio-flavored drinks. I absolutely love pistachio flavor, so this was a great coffee to try!The barista recommended the breakfast biscuit sandwich, which I also tried, and it was very delicious! It comes with a hot sauce on the side, so you can add as much as you would like (or not add any) to your liking. The barista is very friendly too."
