overcrowded, large bar area that is unusable to get work done, not well-kept

Parking is terrible and gets incredibly packed with younger people who use it as a hang out spot. You will not find seating.
This place is a whole vibe. I honestly haven’t seen a coffee shop at this caliber before.
Pros:
• Stunning interior design
• Super friendly staff
• Really good food
• And yes… they have a bar 🍸
Cons:
• Seating is hard to find because it’s almost always packed
• The Wi-Fi is unreliable — it didn’t work during my last three visits
• It gets pretty noisy, so bring headphones if you need focus or privacy
Overall, I probably wouldn’t come here to work or study. It’s much better suited for socializing, grabbing a drink, or soaking in the atmosphere not so much for quiet productivity.
This place would be so awesome if the wifi worked!!
I love the amount of seating this place has, and the available outlets. However, I’ve tried going to this place twice and both times the wifi failed to work on my laptop.

it’s always so full and hard to find seating at first. it’s a little dirty especially some of the outlets. the biggest issue is the wifi, it’s terrible so I always end up using hotspot. would I still come again? probably yes, the space is unlike any other coffee shop in houston and it’s a decent environment to get work done as most people are also working.
Third time told them that the wifi doesn't work. They were just saying there are too many people connecting without solving the problem.

How do you have a coffee shop but the internet doesn’t work? Willing to change my review when they fix the internet. They make more than enough to have decent internet.

Came.here for a meeting with our caterer. It was a beautiful day so we sat outside. We had an iced latte and a cappuccino. The service was lovely and coffees were delicious. I loved the little heart on my cappuccino. I definitely would like to come back an try some food offerings.

If this place didn’t have outdoor seating it would be utterly unbearable to visit. Music is loud and you must raise your voice when placing your order. If you have a migraine condition or tinnitus, both will be aggravated by the bass beats. Don’t come here if you need to have a meeting or a conversation indoors, cause your voice will end up sore from constantly needing to almost shouting. I don’t understand why the bathroom needs to have excessively loud, club volume music - the compressed space makes the music even louder, and you can almost physically feel the music beats pounding into your skull. I feel bad for the people who work here, as the constant exposure to loud music will cause hearing issues, tinnitus and migraines. Great coffee and food selection though.

The service, vibes, and food are great! Wi-Fi is trash…
I really love this place to study but plsss fix the Wi-Fi. It has to be the worst Wi-Fi I have encountered in Houston coffee shops, even compared to those similar in size/occupancy. I struggle to recommend this to friends bc the wifi is so bad. I can probably get 15 minute of constant signal before losing it again, if it actually connects in the first place. It’s very telling when there is a ton of hot spots running because of how unreliable it is…

Overall a great place, especially for studying! Just watch out for the pothole in the parking lot… I quickly realized why that was the only available spot lol.
