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!“

“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.“

“EXCELLENT CUSTOMER SERVICE AND EXCELLENT COFFEE . 12/3/22“

“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.“

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

“My husband & I were in Town for 5 days and found this Vegan Restaurant that I had to give a try on Day 3. The atmosphere and the wait staff was of peace and friendly vibes. The food and drinks, absolutely amazing. And while waiting for our driver we had the pleasure of meeting and talking with the owner. I highly recommend. The next time we are back in Houston area we will be back.“

“Great food and drinks, relaxed atmosphere“

“Excellent coffee that I have been purchasing for years. And excellent customer service. I personally love the Mexico Chiapas Dark beans. Best cup of coffee ever!“

“My husband comes here all the time but today I decided to explore on my own. TBH I was pleasantly surprised about this place. I don’t consider myself a coffee connoisseur as I generally would drink any coffee. I also wouldn’t take the time to really understand that much about coffee. But I do know the difference between good tasting coffee and bad tasting coffee. That being said I also usually drink espresso and not coffee.

Anyways, based on scoping out the menu, I opted for the oolong cappuccino. It was really tasty and I would definitely recommend giving it a try. I also like how they keep everything to its purest. No ruining drinks with sweeteners, allowing you to fully embrace the coffee essence. It’s def a cute coffee shop with good tasting drinks.“

“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. ☕“

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

“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!“

“This place was so cute! It definitely has hole-in-the-wall vibes from the outside, but the inside is adorable. The latte, matcha, and iced coffee we got were all really good, and the outdoor seating in the parking lot was surprisingly nice for sitting and sipping.“

“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.“

“Highly recommend. Great atmosphere and service.“

“Liz, best bartender of all time. She was very welcoming to every guest. Not only did she make the most delicious cocktails, she did it with finesse. Liz provided the best hospitality and service. The drive from San Antonio was worth it. Will come back!“

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

“Delightful atmosphere. Excellent cappuccino and breakfast was tasty. Great service“

“I totally recommend this place the staff is polite and amazing customer service. the drinks are amazingly delicious!! I have had most of the shakes except the mint one I need to try have had the iced coffee is great and so are the matcha drinks.“

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

“best pistachio latte and pistachio croissant I've ever had“

“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!“

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

“Affordable prices, wonderful ambiance, great service, good food.“

“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!“

“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.“

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

“Had a really good iced oat milk latte here.“

“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“

“Thank you so much Las Perras Cafe 💕 I love this place. This is place is cozy and warm. Never too loud never too quiet. I love the food - I always get the Japanese sandwich 🥪 the baristas make my drink perfect to my liking. I always ask if they could go easy with the sugar and they do. They are kind and care about their craft.

The atmosphere is great. Never been harassed, never been given any attitude. I was surprised to read a review that its only for Hispanic people. It's definitely Latina owned and I love it (and we need more). But the owners and the baristas will not turn you down for being an Asian or Black. That doesn't reflect the word community.

I would say I am a patient customer and laid back. Treat others how you want to be treated. This place is my vibe. It doesn't feel sterile and it doesn't seem pretentious. The food and drinks are definitely worth the money.“

“Everything is good here. Highly recommended. Especially coffee“

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

“We stopped in over the weekend for a late lunch, low-key celebrating my birthday. We had a little bit of everything and all of the food was AMAZING. I am not even a "ribs person" but loved theirs. the garlic sausage? Phenomenal. All of the meats: Brisket, chicken, sausage, pulled pork, smoked turkey - delicious. Great sauce. And all of the sides were bomb; we had mac & cheese, potato salad, and cream corn. My husband doesn't even like corn and we were sparring with our spoons over the last bites. On top of it, they have great stuff in the general store. We've found a new spot to bring our out of town visitors to come and try a taste of the best Houston had to offer!“

“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!“

“Great experience at TeaTonic on Crosstimbers! The drinks were delicious, fresh, and made just right. The staff was friendly, welcoming, and provided great service. The atmosphere was also really nice and relaxing. Definitely a spot I’ll be coming back to and recommending to others. Highly recommend checking them out! 🧋❤️“

“My co-worker ordered from there and I went back the next day, twice. Great drinks, great customer service and great atmosphere. I tried teriyaki chicken and it was good. Plan on trying everything on the menu.“

“Riquísimo para mi fue una gran experiencia“

“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“

“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.“

“The menu here is excellent, with a great range of choices whether you want something light or a hearty pub meal. They also have a fantastic selection of local beers. The food was wonderful and the staff were friendly, professional, and welcoming. Overall, a really enjoyable experience from start to finish.“

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

“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“

“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.“

“Food and service was excellent.“

“I took my 15 month old grandson in for breakfast. Our server, Kel, What’s fantastic. She understands little ones. she set us up to the table was safe from his hands, she was kind she was understanding and very delightful personality. Enjoyed our experience because of her.“

“I had the briscuit egg and cheese klobasniky. All I can say is WOW!!! I also had a sausage and cheese klobasniky and It was also very good. They use Prasek’s sausage (actual sausage), not the little hot dog wiener’s you see at other places in and around Houston. Randy you are doing a great job!! I will be by to see you again soon.“

“Love my Osmanthus hot tea on a cold rainy day. Best place to work and study“
