50 Best Cafes in Houston

“Delicious coffee, great service. We got a cafe book to explore the Houston area a bit more and this is our first stop! The valley girl was perfect! We will Be back!“

“I genuinely could not have had a better experience at Citizens. The service was amazing. The staff were all so attentive and nice. My server Kent was very helpful and kind. I ordered the espresso martini, brussel sprouts, the chicken parm, and the tiramisu. Everything was amazing. I don't usually love brussel sprouts, but these were a perfect balance with the slight sweetness and crunch that came from the pistachios and bacon. The vodka parm was 10/10. Even the arugla salad was good, but the chicken fries really stole the show. The tiramisu was very light and creamy, with a slight taste of the lemon in the cream. All-in-all it was an amazing experience one of the best meals I've had in a while. I will definitely be dining here again and recommending it to people.“

“Stopped by on a Saturday morning around 8:30am…it was quiet, service was wonderful, and the food was delicious and came out quickly! I had the omelette, which was presented with beautiful flowers for garnish, and a side of fresh fruit. The dirty chai was the best I’ve had in the Kirby area. 10/10 recommend!“

“Cherriese was GREAT thank you the food was great“

“Amazing Crepes! I have high standard for desserts and these guys delivered 100%.“

“Get there early or they'll sell out (the cinnamon rolls were sold out by 10:45 that day)! There are picnic tables outside and windowsills inside where you can sit if you don't mind standing in line😄😋“

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

“Very nice atmosphere and great views and the people are really friendly.“

“Update: Most recent visit I did a pick up for ice Matcha latte and they forgot the cold foam which they charge extra for. Looks great in photos, but their coffee tastes generic and they don't even use ceremonial matcha 👎 after 3 visits I will not be returning.“

“We came to pick up Gluten Free bread for my daughter who needs to now be GF. We also prefer eating GF when possible. We had the rotisserie chicken sandwich with house made pickles and a cup of bone broth. BOTH were excellent! They also said they were seed oil free which is a game changer for us. We do NOT eat seed oils as much as possible. The bread has been fantastic also. Its a little pricey but i feel worth it for the quality you get.“

“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“

“The hot chicken sandwich is fantastic! Crispy crust and juicy inside even after the 30 minute drive home (to-go order) and packed full of spice! I’m not exactly sure of the spice in this Taiwanese chicken sandwich, but I want another one already. Forget The other hyped hot chicken spots. Try AtCha today.“

“BEEF PHO KOLACHE!!!! 😭👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽“

“Such a cute coffee shop! The drinks are always delicious here. I will be back again❤️❤️“

“We love going here. Good service and great priced food.“

“La La Land Café is such a bright spot in the day! From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere felt warm, uplifting, and genuinely welcoming. The space has that perfect mix of cozy and cheerful, making it a great place to sit, sip, and unwind.

What truly stood out, though, was the staff (Ms. Zakira). They were incredibly accommodating, going above and beyond to make sure every detail was perfect. Whether it was answering questions about the menu, making thoughtful recommendations, or happily adjusting an order, they never made anything feel like a hassle. Their kindness and attentiveness added so much to the experience.

The drinks were delicious, the vibes were great, and the customer service was outstanding. If you’re looking for a café that makes you feel cared for, La La Land Café is definitely the spot!“

“I have made it a personal mission to try all the coffee places in h-town and this is one of my favorite.

Great coffee, nice people, and just love the place tucked in a quiet neighborhood inside the city. It feels you are having coffee in some corner cafe in Europe.“

“Excellent food! Worth a visit if it’s been some time since you visited.“

“❤🐾Love them, and they love animals too, they are the best!!“

“Shoutout to the barista who made my perfect cappuccino. Foamy, smooth, and rich. I’m a coffee snob and this passed the test.“

“Good, nice and clean. Will coke back.“

“I was having a rough/hectic work day today and decided to try out Green Earth for lunch. My delivery order arrived with this sweet quote which was just the reminder I needed. Not only that, but they had added in an extra juice + other items I didn’t pay for or expect (all were wonderful). What a thoughtful, kind business. You all have earned my loyalty as a customer.“

“love this place, food, drinks and froyo delicious friendly staff place always clean“

“Great food great staff of great location I Recommend this place very highly“

“Excellent Mandi - nothing else to say. Just as good as any other Mandi spot in Houston. The lady who runs the restaurant cooks like she is your mother and is very hospitable. Great serviced and meal you can not get in many places. Plate lickedclean“

“You guys! This is a really nice place to eat. Interior takes me home in Europe. It is intimate, great place for a date. Pleasant music. We are eating breakfast , crepes with nutella, banana and strawberry and crepes with strawberries roasted pecan and caramel. Soooo delicious. It is a big size crepe too!
They serve Segafredo coffee. Love it! Also have nondairy milk for the coffee.
They also have a little area for convenience items such as head ache medication shaving cream and such and some souvenirs .
After yesterday’s bad experience with a double booked airbnb trying to find a place at 9pm this was such a positive experience, thanks for the wonderful service. The last pic is us being happy with our full belly 🙂
My new favorite place in town.
Definitely coming back!“

“Just adopted our Lauren from here. The concept is really cool. You get to hang out with the cats while giving them treats and drinking coffee. You then get to take the cat you’re interested in home to see if they are a good fit. Cats are very well socialized with people due to the nature of this business and the establishment is very clean. A tip for anyone new who is visiting for the first time. There are 2 sections. One for the more active and playful cats and the other for the more introverted cats. Don’t be afraid to ask to see the other cats. Love this place and I highly recommend them if you are looking to adopt.“

“Beautiful little market and eatery!“

“I love common bond and I’m a regular in this location I will say it’s one of the best coffee shops but not just the drinks the food and pasties are the best quality here, compared to other French coffee/ bakeries I’ve been too like Le Madeline, although they don’t take cash and I hope they can change that
this place is super chill and not to many people when I’m there but the busiest days are Saturdays from 3pm-6pm and parking can be hard to find regardless if it’s busy or not“

“Love here. Been coming for years.“

“Great people and Great water!“

“My first time there, I had a ball. It's AB well be most people in were very friendly D. J. Twan, is thereon Tuesday and it's really, really lively? There are pool tables from what I can see. So come early and enjoy yourself.It was a barbecue truck outside , so if you get hungry space is filled up quick.So come early , so you can find a good spot to park. See you next tuesday.“

“Goood food and great service!“

“Where I got boba for the first time in my life 5+ years ago, and still one of my favorites in the state!

A huge variety of flavors, drinks, and sinkers. Staff is always friendly.
The owner still recognizes me even though I've moved away, and I always try to stop by when I'm in the area. I'm so happy this local gem survived shutdown!“

“the Toffee-nut Ice-O is delicious 😋“

“The food is always good. I love getting the triple deli and the salmon meal. Staff always so nice and management also. Never a bad experience here at this location.“

“Bonito lugar nieves ricas !!! Pero incomodo pedir al personal q quiten el seguro para entrar al baño las puertas blokeadas eso no estaba tres meses atrás“

“It was absolutely amazing, I got roast beef, turkey and bacon on sourdough and it was everything I hoped for and more. Highly recommend Ploughman’s Deli.“

“The lady that work there they where so nice and the place was was wonderful“
