"I was looking for a place close by to do work, but also trying to find a new coffee shop in town, and that's when I stumbled upon this place close to the River Oaks area. This coffee shop is relatively new, situated in the lobby of a business building. Parking is either inside the garage or street parking (which I did). Once you enter the establishment, it is decorated well and cozy enough to study or work for hours. The barista is nice and attentive to his regulars or new guests. I ordered my caramel latte with some pastries, and they were good."
"A gem of a coffee roaster.. headquartered in Gulfton, near Chimney Rock. This place is a bit difficult to find due to the aesthetic looks from the outside. You'll notice a row of standard office looking buildings. Makes it a bit of an adventure trying to locate this coffee lab. Java Pura is the local soul of the best coffee beans in Houston. You may find their products at the Urban Harvest Farmers Market, Central Market or any catering events. This lab is not a coffee shop, so don't go looking for a barista that can make you latte art. Rather the folks behind the business are incredibly passionate about their beans. They are super friendly and will give you a tour if you're interested in one. I visited a friend here and had the pleasure in viewing their machines and products up close. The beans are roasted in the lab and carefully packaged and shipped across various destinations. If you're interested in purchasing a package of coffee beans, you may do so during their business hours. The flavours are fresh and very aromatic. Grinding your beans at home will help to preserve the overall flavor. Reemerge and awaken back to life. I've been an advocate of supporting local as displayed in my 11 years of Yelp rendezvous. Java Pura is an example of supporting a business that really displays their heart and passion through their beans, packaging, and curation. Have any questions? They'll happily assist you. All things in this lab are science + art related. Once you make a switch to their beans, you'll never go back to your Folgers. Whats in your cup?"
"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."
"Wow! What a difference drinking locally prepared coffee. Keith really knows what he is doing."
"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."
"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!"
"This was our first visit to this newest member of a small 3 location coffee chain, loved it. The twix-orz frappe was very tasty....mocha, caramel, espresso and whip. I had a "done to perfection" hot cappuccino wit' 2 splendas. I enjoyed a slice of banana nut bread, went real well with my coffee. We'll have to try the other two."
"The first coffee shop that popped up when I search coffee/tea for Cypress. I've been here a few times for their lattes. The second time I was here, I decided on the CBD shot to be included which made me feel..... something. I can't put my finger on it. It was a combination of feeling like I was floating somewhere everytime I stood on my feet. Kinda cool right?Now for the coffee place itself, there's seating inside and outside. Also they have coffee beans and tea products available. Classic coffee drinks (latte, cappuccino, americano) are made here of course. Interior is very plant friendly based on the number of plants and sunlight here. Obviously that's a theme for this place. Seating is comfortable although I wish they had more power outlets for plug-in devices. But sometimes that's not the case.Staff is nice and friendly. May venture here again to explore more CBD stuff."
"Bought coffee here a while back. The staff were so nice and got the coffee I requested super quick so I was in and out. The family loved everything I ordered for them so I'll definitely be back to buy more in the future!"
"Got the whiskey coffee for the boyfriend as a gift from a recommendation and he loved it. We used a French press to bring all of the flavors out and it was really good coffee. It isn't particularly whiskey ish but you can taste the barrel flavor in the depth of the coffee if that makes sense. A high quality and flavorful coffee that's very complex. We are very very happy with this choice and can't wait to taste others from the District Roasters family! Also the delivery was so fast. I'm pretty sure I bought this in the early part of this week and by the time I remembered I had ordered it, it was on our doorstep this afternoon. Plus the nice note inside thanking us was very nice"
"Another gem in old town Tomball, great coffee and bites selection. Quaint cottage style building with plenty of seating (front patio, back patio, inside, and even on the side 4 fresh raw wood (two lacquered) picnic tables under some beautiful trees. Great setting for work if needing scenery outside of the house (wifi available for those remote workers). Enjoyed my fall specialty drink, Flannel weather ($5 for a small, $.50 cents for my almond "milk alternative"), the spices were on point to usher in that much desired autumn temps. And the almond croissant ($4.75) slightly heated paired well. Plenty of public parking available so don't fear if you can't snag a spot right in front. It's a block or less walk and you pass by some other pretty awesome establishments. Definitely hope to visit again."

This is a cute little place that opened up recently across from French Corner in the Scurlock tower. The pastries, hot chocolate and coffee are all so yummy! I especially like the kolaches. The hot chocolate is actually better here than Starbucks.

I had called and spoke with Brenda back in February regarding the possibility of Java Pura catering for my daughters upcoming wedding so I had appointment today to discuss all of what Java Pura could provide the guests on a espresso and cappuccino bar.When we first walked in the smell of the fresh roasted coffee was absolutely amazing. Brenda and here staff were waiting for us and they were all so genuinely sweet and nice. We also had the opportunity to meet the owner of the company who talked to us about where the coffee originated from and the differences in the flavors and the roasting processes.My daughter tasted their cold brew and I had a hot caramel latte. We both agreed that the coffee was some of the best we had ever tasted. The cold brew actually comes in bottles that you can buy locally. Later during our meeting the owner proceeded to make us a different cold brew concoction with agave and half&half and let me tell you it was amazing. This cold brew is not the type you buy in the bottles, this was the concentrated that they sell and then you dilute. It was beyond delicious. It is only available cold in stores and it does not ship so I cannot bring it back to Florida or I would bring back a few.We have definitely decided to have Java Pura at my daughters weddingThe do sell coffee right out of their corporate offices so stop by and buy coffee and be happy!

You will not be disappointed! This small business roasts the beans themselves and it tastes right every time. My husband and I buy their coffee and grind the beans at home-we have a cheap coffee maker and it tastes like it came from the barista. It's the only coffee we brew at home. Our favorite blend right now is Costa Rica La Rosa (medium roast). Start your day right with a great cup of Cruiser coffee!

Found out the new location is opening and since it's finals season I had to stop in. The coffee is just as good as usual and service is always friendly and quick. The new shop is super spacious, but still cozy. It still has the same vibes as the previous location on Louetta, but it feels more open. There's plenty of seating and plugs--perfect for studying. The one downside is that the prices are pretty up there, but I don't mind supporting small businesses!

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 particular Bean Here Coffee is connected to Wellby Financial Credit Union so it threw me off for a second, but once I was inside I realized how nice it is. I love all of the big open windows here that let in so much natural lighting.I wasn't sure what to order at first, but the workers were very friendly. Their menu is pretty large as far as options goes. There's a variety of tea, coffee, grilled paninis, and some pastries. They seem to have more pastries, but I came here in the late afternoon and were sold out of most of them already.I ended up deciding on the coconut pandan latte hot with almond milk. I loved that it actually came out in a real ceramic mug. Coffee shops need to bring this back because almost everywhere serves their coffee in disposable cups these days, the ceramic mug makes a difference! The coffee itself was perfect. The espresso was strong yet smooth, and it paired well with the earthiness of the pandan and coconut without being overly sweet.10/10 would come here again. They have a great amount of seating and outlets to get some work done. The only thing I thought was odd was that their menu was a little too small to read without being close, and that none of their prices are shown. I'll be back again for sure though, cheers!
Visit Restaurant Page"This spot changed names- I'm not sure if the ownership changed and when, but I've visited this location several times. It's pretty cute! You can grab a coffee and browse the rest of Railway Heights Market which is fun (it used to be a bit more lively- seems to be emptier lately?). It's not the best coffee shop ever, but certainly not bad either. My cappuccino with oat milk was solid. I'd generally just recommend visiting the space and enjoying the whole experience with a coffee in hand. Hope you enjoy!"
"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."
"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."
"Love this little hometown gem. The coffee tastes amazing. Trixie is so welcoming and has any flavor you can think of for coffee creations. I love the puzzle table where you can sit and enjoy coffee and work on a puzzle while listening to the comings and goings and conversations. Such a cute interior as well. They do have a drive through, but you're missing out not going inside. They are closed on Sundays and Mondays."
"Simply Coffie is an Asian-owned coffee shop in the Heights which opened up ~8-months ago (in summer 2023). I came across it randomly and went on a Friday morning with my wife. The atmosphere is beautiful. There are clean lines throughout, large windows, wood paneling, coffee bean sacks, and light music that plays in the background. There are multiple tables to sit at, and there is free Wi-Fi.I ordered an Oolong Cappucino w/ Oat Milk for $6.00. I have never experienced this before, but I enjoyed it a lot. My wife recently gave birth, so she is still limiting her caffeine intake. This coffee shop doesn't serve decaf FYI. She ordered a regular Iced Latté for $6.00 instead.Overall, I loved my experience at this coffee shop. I could see myself sampling multiple interesting items on their coffee menu. I would highly recommend coming here if you want to see coffee done well in the Heights."
"This place has been on my radar for a while and today was the day for a visit. We bought some amazing cashews and a pound of coffee beans. I started doing this review and realized the coffee beans needed sampling for me to review them, just an excuse to drink more coffee. The beans were definitely top notch. Tried just black and fully loaded....cream and artificial sweetener. Only thing I'd change is putting some info on the bag of beans, the bags they use don't say which beans are in them, roast date, etc. The beans are very drinkable. Any kind of seed or nut or spice is roasted here and they combine all these ingredients to make some tasty stuff. They make some killer looking candies, proud of myself for refraining from tasting each and every thing. I'll definitely return for more coffee beans and nuts."
"Another great trip to Blendln Coffee. It was great weather and husband and I were in the mood for great coffee so to Sugar Land Blendln we went. The service here is top notch. The people here make art not coffee. The ambiance here is so welcoming and comfortable. The place has so much natural light. This time we got our coffee to drink there and we were treated with nice "real" coffee cups and saucers. Go drink coffee here it will change your life."
"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."
"I have never in my life been a "coffee shop" kinda gal. I didn't really understand why people loved to go to them and I just thought coffee was "ok" (don't come at me )... until I discovered Ome Calli by happenstance. This place has turned me into THAT girl (work, lunch, date, friend time... they are all opportunities to get out of the house and come here!). The owners are a beautiful couple who genuinely care about their customers and the community. I love that they support a plant-based lifestyle and they offer oracle cards and other fun, little things to raise the collective in their little corner of Grogan's Mill. Also, their drinks all have added health benefits and are easily the best tasting coffees I've ever had (and I've tried them all!). I really can't recommend this place enough!"
"Bees Knees and a Macadamia nut HOT nitro cold brew! Chefs kiss! He let us sample the hot nitro cold brew and oh my goodness! I could drink if black! Amazing coffee, integrity and a beautifully curated large space!"
"Charles Lewis Tiffany, also known as the King of Diamonds once said, "Behind every dream is the dreamer." And when you step onto Garden Oaks', the Stomping Grounds, you witness the same iconic vision at The Little Dreamer Coffee. .This darling kiosk is adorned with six stools on each side with window panes opened up to the tiny coffee shop. Whether you decide on a Milk and Honey latte, cafe au lait, a slow pour or Jasmine tea or tisane, your palate will be blessed with bright and shiny notes of specialty coffee and delicious pastries."
"A cute coffee shop in a business plaza. There's a few parking spaces in the front otherwise you can park in the garage building. The place is pretty spacious and plenty of tables to sit. Service was friendly and quick. The place is quite relaxing and it's good for work or studying. The further you walk to the back, there was even more areas to sit. Most people who come here probably work in the building. I ordered an iced matcha latte and it was just the right amount of sweetness. Overall, I'm glad I came across this place."
"Forever my favorite GOOF coffee house because of their Island Coffee with charcoal. The staff is super friendly, they'd remember my name every time I'd call in or walk-in, which was so nice. It's also a good spot to do some work or studying as the upstairs has big tables with a great view of the coffee bar downstairs."
"Made it out to this spot early on a Sunday morning to grab a cup and enjoy their back patio/garden area. The service is friendly and helpful, an overall welcoming vibe for this Second Ward coffee joint. The setup is a bit odd that you order through a walkup window and pick up your order in a metal box, but it helps keep the process efficient, perfect for grab and go days. However, if you want to hang out, they have several tables around their space for you to enjoy. I ordered one of their specialty drinks (I think the name was Dirty Kirby? or at least had the name Kirby in it) and it was a delightful blend of cinnamon, oat milk, and espresso. Great, smooth coffee taste. Certainly recommend this spot if you are in the EaDo area!"
"This coffee shop is right next to my cousin's apartment and I just have to say it's good that I don't live there bc I would end up going to get coffee here every single day. Absolutely loved the iced vanilla cardamom latte. The barista was super sweet and recognized my cousin's dog and greeted the dog as if she was a paying customer. I didn't try any food but everything looked delicious!"
"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."
"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!"
"Great place to buy green (un-roasted) coffee beans. Large selection and friendly service. Although they sell to professional roasters and coffee shops, they also cater to the little guys like me who do it for fun (and attempt to save some money in the long run). As expected though, the larger your order is per pound, the more you'll save (I.e 50 lb bag is way cheaper than a 1 lb bag). It'll make sense to buy in bulk and find friends/family who would want to split with you to save money.Location is in the middle of nowhere, but it makes sense since it's mostly a warehouse with a small reception area. Although you can purchase online, I like to browse in person and try whatever sample(s) they are offering that day. The bags they sell in the reception area are just some of their offerings. Check out their website for a complete list. The receptionist was kindly able to grab a small bag of the beans from the warehouse that I requested.The roasted beans that they offer oddly have the expiration date rather than roast date. This is surprising to me because the roast date dramatically affect the quality of espressos. For espressos, I recommend sticking with green beans and roasting yourself.They offer tasting classes for a fee, but not all the time. Check out their website for available class dates.Receptionist was very nice, helpful, and friendly. She was still very new at her role and was learning about coffee and beans from the beginning. Best of luck to her caffeinated journey!"
"I like how I'm able to try different beans in a pour over or espresso. The baristas were friendly, really patiently explaining the different origins. Chill place located inside a one story office complex."
"Vibe- Cozy coffee shop in Missouri City. There's 2 tables outside and about 8 tables plus some bar seating inside. Customer service- Good!Food/drinks- I got one of the seasonal drinks, a hot pistachio chai latte with oatmilk; it was delish! (They also sell pastries as well)Parking- There's about 10 parking spots right in front of the shop. There's many more in the lot though; just a few steps from the shop."
"All I have to say is, WOW! This was my first time trying coffee & pastries from Yemen so I did not know what to expect but we had a phenomenal experience. From the customer service to the coffee and food, I truly enjoyed it all and can't wait to come back. 5/5 I loved it!!"
