Rice Coffeehouse

$2.50 for scones and $3.25 for a Lonely Boy (iced rose and sea salt latte) - nice. I was on campus today for an event and took advantage of that student ecosystem price pressure. The barista here is impressive. Incredibly busy round the clock but calm, collected, and fast - AND she still latte-arts. By the way, Pacifica oat milk and no upcharge - amazing. I recently paid $10.50 for a regular size oat milk latte in Beverly Hills that didn't even taste that good, so this was a welcome change - And yum! Took quite awhile to get my coffee, but I loved it, and I didn't mind the wait. Maybe it's nostalgia. Maybe it's really yum coffee. Maybe it's both. Regardless, this is worth a visit.

I found my new obsession!! Especially the moment their honey bee iced latter hit my lips, I was sold! Not too sweet and delicious on so many levels! Just recently tried their green tea frappy and they've done it again! Won my taste buds with a great green tea flavor, not chalky, and not too sweet. The lavender iced latte was also good but didn't win my heart as the 2 drinks above. Not only is it tucked away in one of the buildings in Rice University, but it's cute and the drinks are legit!If you bring your own cup then you get a $1 off any drip coffee or $.25 off any drinks you order. Decrease plastic waste!

I come here once a week to get either a green tea freeze, green tea frappy, or nutty bee with almond milk. The entire place is student run and they have a lot of pastries and vegan cinnamon rolls and bars. Definitely get the cinnamon roll and heat it up when you're going to eat it. It's really big and just $2.50. This month I tried their drink of the month (toffee coffee). It was alright, I'm not a huge fan of the raspberry flavor and I got it warm. I think if I got it without the raspberry and cold it would've been better. There are some hits and misses with their drinks of the month but they're always very innovative and have new items on the menu.Service is sometimes a little slow during hours are class or in the mornings. It's also usually crowded and noisy. But the drinks are really affordable and pretty good.

I love coming here for a mid week pick me up drink. My go to order is the nutty bee with oat milk (served both hot or cold) and luckily alternative milks have no extra charge! They have monthly specialty drinks that are always nice to try. In addition, they have $1 drip coffee that you can fill your own mug with if you are in a rush. You can get pastries, bagels, and other treats that you can heat up if you are eating it soon. Service can be slow and can take up to 30 minutes to get your drink during peak hours (usually between classes).

As I've noticed with other reviews here, I think Coffeehouse is best summed up in a pros and cons list:Pros - student run business: what an awesome way for students to earn money and learn snout running a business. They support other students too with art shows, music nights, etc. - creative drinks: there is a flavor of the month each month and the mixes they make are good. Good for people who like to change things up! - best prices: built for students, so pricing is so student friendly it's great - not very hot drinks: perfect if you're getting it "for here" because it's drinkable right awayCons- crazy lines: the lines can go out the door, and frequently will during passing periods. Service can be slower at these times too. - noisy & full: I feel like this has been extra so this year; sometimes I can't find anywhere to sit! An additional note is that their espresso drinks tend to be pretty milky and sweet. That can be good or bad depending who you are, but good to know either way!

I hit this ish up almost everyday. $1 for drip coffee if you bring your own mug! They serve Katz and I always stop in for the Texas Pecan or sweet Mexican drip coffee during my morning walk to class.10/10 atmosphere (the theme is cute and the place is definitely always bustling), 10/10 service (the students are awesome), 10/10 prices ($1. Coffee.). Because it's small and frequented by students/faculty, lines are long. Ofc nothing can really be done to improve that since this is such a token spot on campus! Just be wary that if you don't have a mug and a $1 bill on you, you can't jump the line to get your drip.If you wait in line for things other than drip coffee, investigate their Milky Way drink if you want something cold, creamy, and sweet. Rice Coffeehouse has my heart.

Nice place with a good vibe, although during the mid-hours it can get deafeningly loud with student customers. Other times when it's less busy, I'm afraid it's still a tad too loud with the baristas blasting the radio (might want to turn it down a notch...) Pros: -Coffees taste great. The Pecan is especially delicious. -Coffee is CHEAP. Bring a mug and your coffee is less than a dollar. -Bright and fun atmosphere (for study or just hanging) -Temperature is relatively mild unlike most other subarctic locations on and off campus INDOORS.Cons: -They remodeled, but there still are too few seats and tables. For a university coffee shop (the only one really on campus except more expensive FLO) this is a minus. -There are not enough outlets - be nice if they had more extension cords at least. -Nowhere close to the best campus coffee shop I have been to, but not bad.

1. Pros: A. Delicious coffee B. Reasonable price C. Abundant outlets inside & outside D. Fast free WiFi inside & outside E. Not very cold F. Parking in Greenbriar Lot which costs $2/day.2. Cons: may because the cafe belongs to the students here, noise is all around.

Rice coffeehouse is the go to store for many a Rice student. However, if you're not a student it's hard to get parking here, unless you're willing to park in the circle drive, run down, grab your order, and leave. The other option is to park in one of the 15 minute parking spots. The interior is very cozy, and the large draw here is that the store is student run. The music can get loud at times, but is generally variable according to student tastes. Seating is plenty, but can get limited, especially just after lunchtime. The service is great, and Rice coffeehouse has birthed many a barista. Regarding beans, rice coffeehouse uses Katz's, which I personally dislike. However, I understand that they're good value beans that wouldn't offend most people. I would suggest a Roaster change be put in consideration, even if it would raise the price of coffee a couple cents.The drink called "nutty bee" is a favorite of mine, ever since early college here. I would recommend it for anyone, even people that don't like the taste of coffee.I would come by here anytime I was already on Rice campus because of the great value, familiar vibes, and limited parking.

This is the Rice University coffee shop located inside the student building, it's exactly as you'd expect knowing the fact.Cheap coffee and food that does what it's intended: not blow you away but offer sustenance. Nice students/staff running the shop. Ambiance is a little weird, as it's filled with college children hanging out
