50 Best Cafes in Houston

“My husband and I decided to stop here for breakfast and what a great decision. The food was delicious but I was so impressed with our server Yonnie. Like WOW!!!!! It’s so hard to patronize businesses and received great customer service. Because of Yonnie we are looking forward to coming back next week with our of town family and I now have a place to meet clients knowing the service and food is top notch. Thank you Yonnie for restoring my belief that there’s still good customer service.“

“Finally made it by this spot today, in love. First of all the bahn mi was amazing, I tried the Swipe Right juice and it was fantastic as well. They made a little extra, so I got to take that with me too, bonus! And then I found out the juice was organic, and they don’t cold press this one so it had the fibers. If you’re on the fence about this place, hop off and go by ASAP!“

“This is my go to coffee shop. I used to live in the area and would come here to work, read or meet friends. After moving, I still make it a point to stop by. The coffee is great and the staff is always super friendly. They have great non-coffee drinks as well, seasonal drink specials, pastries, and tacos.“

“Wow. I walked in and saw what some guy was eating and said, “I’ll have what ever he’s having.” While waiting for my food I couldn’t help but notice how many times the guy said how good it was. I was not disappointed… so good! Lamb, goat, and chicken over a bed of rice. It came on a plate tbe size of a large pizza and it was covered. My left overs filled the entire void of a standard full size to-go box. To top it off, Sara provided excellent service. It was a great meal!“

“We went around 3 pm after a long hot day at the zoo. Free parking at the garage was easy and super close. Staff was extremely friendly and helpful. I chose this place on a whim because of the many menu options. Finding a place to eat with our 5 and 9 yr old can be challenging but the food was great and portions are very generous. I got the chicken fried steak w loaded mashed potatoes. Phenomenal. Everyone at our table was more than happy with our experience here and I’d highly recommend to everyone! Also they’re pet friendly and have vegan options.“

“First time in!! I got an iced hazelnut coconut latte...vibes were awesome!! Cool beer selection and my drink is soooooo good!! Perfect way to kick off my weekend! 🥂“

“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.“

“Tried La La Land and it was AMAZING! I got the Strawberry Dragon Fruit Cooler and the La La Land Latte, and both were so good. The drinks were flavorful, refreshing, and perfectly made. The staff was also incredibly sweet and welcoming, which made the experience even better. Definitely coming back again!“

“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.“

“Love here. Been coming for years.“

“This place is absolutely gorgeous! We went here for drinks and bites after an event and it was the perfect location for catching up while sipping good drinks. Our server, Tiffany, was exceptional. I highly recommend the truffle fries and crab cakes. The mango margarita is also delicious.“

The environment is very cozy, and I loved the aesthetic of the café. The staff were friendly and attentive, ensuring we had a great experience. I will definitely be returning soo.“

“I am an Italian feom Jersey desperately looking for foods from my childhood. The sandwiches were amazing. Highly recommend. I bought an endless amount of desserts to eat.“

“Goood food and great service!“

“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.“

“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.“

“I love it here. The coffee and gelato are amazing! Such a great atmosphere.“

“I searched Hi and low in Houston for Chocolate Mousse cake and this was the only place that still makes the traditional one. Ordered a few days in advance and it was a crowd pleaser!!
Ordered a small cake for about 8-10 people and there was plenty leftover!
Friendly young lady took my order over the phone and fast pickup! Thank you Rustika“

“I used to go to Sweet Paris for breakfast at least twice a week until 2019, when I got diagnosed with Celiac disease; it was my Fav restaurant & my number-one option for weekend breakfast:). Today, I asked someone in this location if they could do something special in the kitchen to prepare a gluten-free crepe. This person's name is Augustine. I put the order in Uber Eat for the Nutella crepe because I couldn’t find the La Canadian on the app; I spoke on the phone with him about this & my disease. This person made sure the grill & utensils were cleaned from gluten & He sent me the Nutella crepe I put in the order & the la Canadian crepe that I couldn’t find on Uber Eat App .Sir, you made my day. Thank you a million & thank you for understanding my health concern..You have no idea how happy you made me. I would like to share this beautiful note he sent me. You are a wonderful person :)“

“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.“

“Great people and Great water!“
