50 Best Coffee Shops in Houston

“This is the best coffee shop in Sugar Land, I just wish they had even more locations! They really know how to brew, the staff is knowledgable and friendly, and there's space to sit and chill no matter how full it is. I love how they have so many outlets for creatives that want to work. I need a blend In co-working space right now!“

“5⭐ Absolutely beautiful place. The place is clean and organized, the barista was very nice and knowledgeable. I got a delicious drink but they do not play with their matcha, it was very strong that I couldn't finish it. I will be back though because there was some other stuff I wanted to try.“

“Chill spot to drink coffee/tea and enjoy time with friends. Enjoyed having our book club meeting there.“

“I'm not sure anyone will be ready for the love I'm about to unload about Cambrian in this review.. so brace yourself and try to stay with me. If you can't make it through the full review definitely scroll down and at least read the part about the sandwich cookies! For your own benefit. ;) I try to wait and visit a place at least a few times before writing a review to be sure that the experience I had is consistent. I can now proclaim that I am like a Cambrian *regular* to put it lightly so what I'm going to include here is the ultimate truth. --The people here rock. ROCK! I know that when looking for a coffee shop its not always about the people but sometimes about the.. coffee? But, if you can get killer coffee served to you via ultra friendly humans.. it really takes it to the next level. My favorite coffee item for the summer is the Cambrian Iced Latte with Oatmilk (flavor is like honey and cinnamon). In winter I get the same thing but hot, or the vanilla syrup. They have way more hard core stuff and slow pours and all that but this is just me. --People go crazy for their sausage rolls. I can't really comment on these personally because I'm not really into meat but my husband, brother and basically everyone I've ever gotten one for (and apparently everyone on the internet) absolutely love them. --I CAN personally attest to the deliciousness of the samosas. So, so bomb. Flaky and well seasoned. The perfect savory baked good! --They have these cool little blue coins to "coffee forward". You buy them and give them to someone so they can come in for a free coffee item. People at the post office totally know about them now and I love to give them out around town! You can even buy them to have them apply to people who come in throughout the day! --There's other stuff like coffee roaster rotations, homemade vanilla syrup, delicious breakfast loaves, clean bathrooms and cool art. They also know how to properly serve tea! --THE SANDWICH COOKIES. I'm trying to keep this clean but I really wanted to say THE *FKN* SANDWICH COOKIES bc I need to emphasize how truly amazing and life altering these cookies are. I live in Houston, ok? I've been to lots of bakeries. Have I EVER had a cookie better than Gemma's sandwich cookies? No. No, I have not. They are a dream and I seriously salivate just thinking about them. I base my errands and outings around getting a sandwich cookie on the weeks that they are serving them. I mean, all of the cookies are phenom. The toffee? You'll hurt yourself they're so good. The peanut butter cup-oatmeal magic she does? Instant addiction. But these sandwich cookies.. like for real- words can't describe. They are art and that buttercream is second to none. I even have a favorite way to eat each of the flavors! I know this sounds extreme but I am telling you! So good!! They have the perfect amount of salt to keep these rich magical babies in balance and make them more adult than other sandwich cookies. Go have one! Try all the flavors! Also get me one. haha Taryn's sandwich-cookie eating process for full flavor effect: Lemon poppyseed needs to be eaten straight-up like a sandwich. The molasses/gingerbready guy needs to have his top taken off and eaten alone. THEN eat the bottom part with the frosting on top. DROOL The chocolate peanut butter needs to go into your mouth like a wheel so its like cookie on the right and left and frosting in the middle. For real! Take one regular sandwich bite and then rotate that thing to wheel into your mouth as you bite and its going to change your life. The butterscotchish one in the pictures? You can eat that one ANY.WAY. and each bite will still be perfect.“

“In town for a quick trip. Stopped in and got a “cinnamon roll” latte…excellent coffee, excellent service, and a beautiful place!“

“Great food and drinks, relaxed atmosphere“

“The atmosphere, coffee, food and employees are great. Awesome place to go to and relax with some friends or just by yourself. 10/10 would recommend.“

“Dear owner... I'm updating my review because I moved to Richmond and you do not have a location here. Can we fix that? And can you open at 5? Thanks so much! I do not like Starbucks! Beansup was awful. Hortons is awful. Dutch brothers is disgusting. They are all awful! Please help. SEE A NEED, FILL A NEED. -Mr. Bigweld“

“Katz Coffee – The Brew That Gives Back! If you’re a coffee lover like me, prepare to have your taste buds elevated to a whole new level with Katz Coffee! I had the pleasure of taking a behind-the-scenes tour of their facility, and let me tell you – it was like walking through caffeine heaven. The aroma alone could make anyone swoon! 😍 But it’s not just about how delicious their coffee is (though, seriously, it's SO good I could probably run a marathon after a cup). What really impressed me was their heart. Katz Coffee isn’t just about brewing the perfect roast—they’re brewing positive change in the community. I was thrilled to learn they actively support Veterans with PTSD and other incredible causes. Their commitment to giving back is just as strong as their coffee game. So, if you love your cup of joe to come with a side of doing good, Katz Coffee is where it's at. Plus, who doesn’t want to start their day knowing their caffeine fix is making the world a little better? 10/10 would highly recommend – and will definitely be back for another cup (or two). ☕✨“

“Huge fan of the Wildfire Espresso Roast. This was the first place I went when I returned to the office last week. They make the best flat whites at Amille’s Coffee“

“Best coffee I’ve ever had“

“We love the look of Bluestone and the menu is delicious! Love our 19th Street neighbor!“

“I have been there many times because Blacksmith is my favorite coffee shop. It's good for its quality and service. I can say it's the only one that I recommend you to try in Houston. ☕“

“An incredible coffee shop right off of White Oak Bayou in the Heights! Great for a meeting or a quick cup of coffee before hitting the trail again! 10/10 would absolutely recommend!“

“The potato/quinoa taco, drip coffee (need to remember to ask for my almond milk on the side otherwise coffee will be cold) and I can’t believe the cinnamon roll was vegan. Thanks for everything.“

“Try the Café de Olla with a “Marranito” or Banana Muffin“

“Very fun and chilled place to play games, do some reading or just catch a drink and vibe“

“I love this cafe! Everyone is always super nice and the drinks are unique. My favorite is the vanilla matcha with banana milk, it’s been my go to for weeks now. The only downside is the parking. The parking lot gets pretty full and it can be hard to find street parking“

“My husband and I went on a coffee date to Della today. I got an iced mocha with housemade pistachio milk. It was so tasty! The housemade milk and syrup made the coffee one to remember. My husband got a sourdough pecan cinnamon roll and... let's just say I took more than one bite of his breakfast 😋“

“One of my favorite places in the whole world. The collection is expansive, the workers are so friendly, knowledgeable and kind, plus the setting is perfect for a quick cup or a spot to chat with friends. Love it here!“

“Super delicious and fast! I had no idea what to order and they were super helpful! Will definitely be back“

“Great location, across from Royal Oak. One of Houston's finest gated community. This cute restaurant have some of the prettiest dishes, not only delicious but affordable. Modern decor, clean and parking is spacious. I would recommend this chic restaurant in a heart beat! Unlike those Asian restaurants in or near Chinatown, lol. You don't need to fight for parking or risks someone running into you or your car. 🥂“

“They have a unique Greek Frappe, very addictive. Fresh baked pastries and very nice breakfast and meal options.“

“Friendly and knowledgeable staff! Great sandwich selections and pastries! Iced lattes are incredible!“

“Wild is a very dreamy/Cozy coffee shop, CBD bar. Very Relaxing.“

“Really amazing cookies 5/5 but I took one star off because they took the chocolate crinkle cookies away entirely and replaced with lemon crinkle cookies. That was the one GF option and they were really good. It would be nice if they had both. Please bring them back :(“

“Great place to get a delicious drink for any occasion Many flavors to choose from!“

“I go here before school with two of my friends almost every morning, and it had become a routine spot in my life. I absolutely LOVE the pumpkin chocolate muffin, and their mochas are amazing. The baristas are some of the nicest people, and are great at their job. :)“

“FIXCoffeeBar's innovation, from the Honey Lavender latte to your award-winning Nitro, sets you apart as true pioneers in the specialty coffee world. Your dedication to crafting unique, high-quality brews is inspiring!“

“Slowpokes lives up to its name — both in the best and not-so-best ways. The coffee is always good, and the staff is genuinely friendly. The shop has plenty of seating and good vibes, but most of the chairs are fixed without backs. That means the few tables with benches and back support are usually taken, leaving the rest a bit uncomfortable if you’re hoping to really settle in.

Service is consistently slow, no matter the location. Even if we’re the only ones in line, there’s always a wait for drinks. That said, it’s still a nice spot with a warm atmosphere, good coffee, and a laid-back feel — just don’t come here in a rush or expecting to “post up” comfortably for long.“

“Having a great time there, baristas are very kind 💙💙💙“

“Le’DRIP got the nod of approval from my immigrant dad, “good, Real coffee.” Their customer service is super. Their coffee is not for the weak. Strong enough to wake the dead.“

“This is the best coffee shop in Sugar Land, I just wish they had even more locations! They really know how to brew, the staff is knowledgable and friendly, and there's space to sit and chill no matter how full it is. I love how they have so many outlets for creatives that want to work. I need a blend In co-working space right now!“

“Haven’t ordered anything to eat from here yet but the service has been nothing less than outstanding! We flew in from overseas and I told my wife I will go here for coffee simply because they are military friendly. Their Smokey Joe was interesting! Never had a smoked flavored coffee before! My wife said smoke belongs in whiskey and BBQ but I can honestly say coffee too!“

“Looooooove this spot!!! The vibe is so chill and laid back. Very cozy, like a home feel. The service was great. The owner was very knowledgeable and welcoming.

The spot was very clean and spacious. There is outdoor seating. Street parking. Love the selection of music. I could have easily stayed there. It was hard for me to leave. So peaceful.

I purchased the abyssinia latte (hot), sambusa and small donuts (carrot cake, caramel) which come as a pair. Everything was tasty. My favorite were the small donuts. OMG!!!! Soooooo delicious 😋 The carmel was my favorite out of the two. There are other flavors to choose from.

I will definitely be back to try the flight and other pastries and food items.

Check em them out. You won't be disappointed.“

“I met girlfriends here for dinner. Everything we ordered was so good and the staff were friendly and attentive. I’ll definitely be back.“

“Thank you for the sample today at CABN! This would be a great treat for my title and lending companies I work with. Please like my business page and reach out to me about my non profit and how you can help! Steven Lumbley Bran Realty Group 936 730-6920“

“Staffs really friendly 😍😍😍“

“Best Banh Mi in Houston. Great coffees and teas. Great music and atmosphere. Friendly and considerate service. This place is a gem“

“The food here was fantastic! We had family in town from out of the country that wanted barbecue and decided to try here. I’m so glad we did and can’t wait to come back to try brunch. The ribs were the best we’ve had in a long time!“

“The late hours of availability is right on time for my schedule. Victor is very accommodating.“

“We always love our late night eats at Mony’s anytime we’re in midtown. Fresh quality ingredients, best sauce and cheese around just makes the pizza great. Large menu with all the Italian pasta specials, and now serves breakfast and large range of desserts, too. You’ll never leave hungry. Great service. Maria and Joe make it a point to greet you as friends, and tell you about the new recipes. So glad I’ve got leftovers to enjoy it again tomorrow!! A+ family owned and operated.“

“A great place to swing by for great cup of joe. The service is above average for most cafes I've visited in the area. The atmosphere of the business was pleasant. It felt cozy and inviting. The parking was great. I ordered the chai latte.

The prices seemed very fair especially for a place with such great ambiance. The servers were attentive and helpful. The customers almost felt like regulars. This is the type of cafe you remember from the early 2000's. I didn't feel like the corporatized establishments that we are forced to accept in our modern times.“

“The Coffee House at West End is an exciting addition to the neighborhood, blending a passion for quality coffee with a true sense of community. Your commitment to creating a welcoming space for all is something to be celebrated“

“We stopped here for a relaxing morning coffee while visiting Houston. Did not disappoint. We had a couple of their great specialty coffees. The Lazy Latte and Purple Rain were delicious!“

“Amazing food. I’m not vegan so that’s saying a lot. I had the smokehouse burger and hands-down one of the best burgers I’ve ever eaten. Meat or not. Also, my brother-in-law had the grits flight. So good. I’m having family come in town and my vegan sister will definitely be eating here with us. I’m gonna try dessert this time.“

“Great coffee…great place.“

“Totally awesome! I had a egg and cheese breakfast taco and a Secret Squirrel coffee! Everything tasted awesome and was presented beautifully!“

“The location on Westheimer in Houston, Texas is our favorite. We received a great service from Solya. Great waitress. Also, management went out of their way to prepare me a Reuben sandwich with turkey instead of roast beef.“
