31 Best Cafes near Friendswood

“Très bien accueilli. Personnel très compétent. Très joli endroit. Les crêpes sont très bonnes et le chocolat chaud avec de la cannelle une tuerie.“

“Close to home, friendly service, nice atmosphere and great coffee! They also have macaroons that are sooo good!“

“A mall staple for generations. Yes sugar high inducing delights that flood you with memories of Christmas shopping in the late 80s with your grandma and you took a break in the food court before hitting up sears for some sweet flannel. She let you get a cookie the size of your head or one packed with frosting. Yes I now spoil my kids on their birthday with this mess of sugar. Always dear to my heart.“

“I absolutely LOVED Great Harvest Bakery & Cafe! I am not sure why I took so long to visit. The bread is fresh and exquisite!!! They have a variety of breakfast and lunch options. The staff is fantastic, informative and friendly! Must try for yourself!“

“From the minute we opened the door, tantalizing scents of delectable spices captured us and drew us into the magic that is Rustika Cafe and Bakery. We were welcomed in by Leo and made to feel right at home. We went for only one meal, but couldn't leave without "1 of this, and 1 of that, and oh! 2 of those..." and worth every penny! You (we) HAVE to go back because you can't possibly eat everything in one visit that you'll want to taste!“

“I tried an egg custard coffee and it was AMAZING!!!“

“This is close to my heart.
1. I live in Friendswood and the truth is this old city is dripping with ooooold racism. So anytime I walk into a new shop I’m so freakin nervous. I know - still today? Yes. BUT you wouldn’t believe how much it’s here in the very fine little town. However. Instantly, I knew I was safe in this store.

2. I found this little gem during the onset of COVID in 2020. Shelves fully stocked. When was there I had bronchitis and I purchased an essential oil blend and gave it a try - WORKED! I aaaalways keep some just in case. It’s even great for allergies which I totally have- ugh.

3. I leave a message of support/ review ONLY when I truly believe because God has blessed me with power of influence with my words. Just saying… probably why I’m a counselor.

4. I got sick and noticed I was out of my oil!!! They were closed and Mike opened to make sure I got my bottle. He did NOT have to do that. I’m so grateful that I cried. Cried hard. For someone that gives so much and goes out of her way, it’s touching that someone would even attempt to do that for me. And that, I’m said to say, doesn’t happen very often.

I wanna gatekeep this place and protect it so no one hurts and or destroys it. But I share it with people I know and love so much so they know where to go for:

A. Amazing customer service- that’s at the top of my list
B. Quality product
C. A caring atmosphere with great patronage (I can’t get out of that store without hearing someone else tell me “oh I love this place and Mike and I will always protect t him” - so see I’m not the only one.

All I ask is if you find your way in this store- be kind and protect them. They are the epitome of ma and paw shop in a great community that we can depend on. In other words- don’t go in there being mean and show your azz.

Ok love ya!“

“Wow, the food was superb!! Today was my first time ever dining at First Watch. I am a pancake lover and if you like lemon ricotta pancakes, try these!!. First Watch FM 646, in League City!! BTW, Aleydhe is the BEST. Awesome service.“

“Food is fantastic. Employees are awesome. the daily specials, especially the giant hamburger on Mondays are terrific. so good, so filling. they are a local buisness who supports the community. Highly recommend. SUPPORT LOCAL“

“My first visit at First Watch was totally awesome thanks to my server Brianna. She was very attentive to my needs and wants. The food was great and her service was excellent. Thank you Brianna for a wonderful outing. I most definitely will be back to see you.“

“Ordered the chicken fried steak from Uber Eats and it was not good at all.. wasn't fresh, more breaded with less meat and the part that had meat it was chewy.. will not be ordering that again.. fried okra was ok needed a little salt, corn casserole-not good, had burnt taste, fried zucchini squash was ok just needed a little seasoning. Overall, I wasn't satisfied.. my favorite go to meal from here is chicken and waffles 🧇 and that's what I will stick with and that's the only reason I gave the food 4 stars.“

“My lifegroup has a mama’s coffee date & devotion gathering here every week. It’s been such a delightful atmosphere from coffee to kind staff to the family-friendly atmosphere! Highly recommend choosing this coffee shop for your next Bible study!✨“

“Love service and the drinks!!!“

“Love going to Busy Bee. We went this last Saturday as we do every Saturday. Savannah was our server and she was kind and did a great job. Christina usually is our server and she is great, but she was not working that day and Savannah did a great job serving us. We like all the servers there and we go there a lot and feel like we are with family. Always enjoy the food and company.“

“The service and food were great, I really recommend the cranberry chicken salad !! The workers there treated me well and helped me with recommendations for the menu, they cleared up any questions we had which made me confident in my order. I would definitely come back here.“

“This place reminds me of an old movie cafe scene. Or an old Chicago area diner. Very comfy, always clean and everyone is nice . Awesome crew. Food is great. Outstanding wait staff. A must visit if in South Houston. Great, great and great. What can I say. Love it!“

“Amazing brunch food! Friendly staff and a casual atmosphere. Will definitely be going back.“

“Thankful for finding some Cuban food on my way to the coast. Kristie it’s amazing and her food was delicious. Todo RIQUÍSIMO!!!“

“Regular customer here! Can’t recommend this place enough! First discovered this place when I was about 10 years old. I’m now 21 and this place is still going strong. This store is one of the few good memories I still have from my childhood. Chocolate smoothie is my fav drinks!“

“Best Boba tea around Bay Area, so much varieties and choices. Super friendly staff and cashier !!!!“

“A group of ladies came together for a Christmas exchange of gifts, good conversation, and good food. I ordered a ham and Swiss cheese on rye with chips. The rye bread was fresh and the ham was a thick slice. The sandwich was very good. I also ordered a cupcake and I was a bit disappointed with it. It was very dry and crumbly and the icing tasted commercial. The serving of apple pie one lady got was generous and the cookies were very good. Prices were quite reasonable. Plenty of seating in the cafe. It was a very nice lunch.“

“Muy rica la comida y el servicio es rápido“

“We went for breakfast on March 30, 2025, the service was great and the food was even better! My husband had the biscuits and gravy and he said it was the best that he had ever had, that it was even better than his mom’s! If you ever have the chance, please go and check them out, I promise you will not be disappointed!“

“Smoothie King always hits the spot! The smoothies are fresh, tasty, and made just right every time. The staff is friendly, and the service is quick. HUGE shout out to the workers on the shift around 1ish. Even though they were in a huge rush they still made my drinks amazing and in a timely manner. It was really busy in there but I love how they always kept a smile on their faces and made the customers laugh/smile!! Also love how many options there are — especially for staying healthy on the go. Highly recommend!“

“We enjoyed a nice lunch today along with excellent customer service! Thank you!“

“Friendly and professional“

“Nice people, great coffee, and cool art! What's not to like? 😁“

“I was pleasantly surprised with Soulfreak! Would definitely recommend visiting for coffee and with the kids. It's conveniently located in the park, the play area is just out side and you can even monitor your kids if your inside because of the big windows.

Lots of outdoor seating, too and all shaded by the huge oak trees. Overall, just a really relaxing atmosphere. I'm a remote worker, and always looking for the new, best coffee shop. Can't wait to go back again!“

“My wife and I went there for dinner. They have a extensive menu, so you won't have trouble finding something you like. They bring you home made fresh rolls and cornbread to the table so beware that you will fill up before you get your meal. The food was excellent and the staff was very friendly. Definitely recommend this place for a nice outing.“

“The mangonada I had was so delicious and the service was excellent. I definitely recommend“

“Great service and place was kept clean! Thank you. SV“
