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.“

“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.“

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

“They have A LOTTT OF COFFEE OPTIONS definitely the best coffee place in this area bellaire area. Other places have low review or they open late this place opens early and their breakfast tacos are good been here about 5 times and they don’t fail me. Small inside but I take mines to go“

“Highly recommend. Great atmosphere and 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.“

“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!“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

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

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

“Great food and drinks, relaxed atmosphere“

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

“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.“

“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. ☕“

“Came here to study, bartender’s name was Jack and they were super sweet!! The vibe here is good, plenty of outlets and space to sit. They run specials (outside of a happy hour) on certain drinks of the day which is neat. The coffee bar on the bottom closes at 5pm and then the cocktail bar up top opens at 5:30. The sours were on point, will be back!“

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

“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“

“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.“

“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“

“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.“

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

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

“I came here with my family Saturday and everything was amazing! All the servers were really attentive and helpful. We had questions about certain dishes and one of the gentlemen helped us alot! Everyone is so sweet especially the guy that helped us at the counter! I don't recall their names but they were the sweetest people!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“Easily the best banh mi in Houston! They are 20 minutes away from us but we still make the drive when we can. Note that their drinks are on the less-sweet side, so if you want yours really sweet let them know! The employees are really nice!“

“Thank you for the sample today at CABN! This would be a great treat for my title and lending companies I work with. Please like my business page and reach out to me about my non profit and how you can help! Steven Lumbley Bran Realty Group 936 730-6920“

“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!“

“The Slowpokes on Stella Link is really great. Good variety of coffee that changes with the seasons, lots of tasty snacks, and a good space for both studying and socializing. I’ve been going for about 2 years now; the severs/ baristas are always friendly (especially Jake and Glory) and make sure I’m comfortable.“

“Great Boba Tea! The Green tea menu is just great!“

“Very fun and chilled place to play games, do some reading or just catch a drink and vibe“

“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!“

“Great location, across from Royal Oak. One of Houston's finest gated community. This cute restaurant have some of the prettiest dishes, not only delicious but affordable. Modern decor, clean and parking is spacious. I would recommend this chic restaurant in a heart beat! Unlike those Asian restaurants in or near Chinatown, lol. You don't need to fight for parking or risks someone running into you or your car. 🥂“

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

“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!“

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

“I found Della Coffee on Seed Oil Scout. As a family that’s very picky about the quality of what we put into our bodies, this place was a win!!! I’m so glad we discovered it—whenever we’re in the city, Della will always be my first stop even if we are 30 minutes away. 😅 The fireside chat is amazing! ♥️ I highly recommend!“

“Delicious coffee and friendly staff. A beautiful coffee shop with lots of seating. They have delicious desserts and great coffee. The white flat is so great, their coffee is so smooth and doesn’t have that punchy coffee after taste. I will be coming here more often.“

“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!“

“Enjoyed a wonderful dining experience and the food was so flavorful. I plan to go back soon.“

“I love this cocktail bar! It has such a great vibe, and the drinks are consistently excellent. Even when it’s busy, the bartenders have it completely under control — they make sure you get a menu right away and never leave you hanging.

The cocktail menu (I believe) has a mix of permanent drinks and seasonal drinks that get swapped out, and honestly, nothing disappoints. My favorites are the sherbet-style cocktail and the Gin Fizz with nutmeg — both are fantastic.

The atmosphere is brilliant, and I love that you see all age groups enjoying the space. If you can get a table with service, even better. Highly recommend — love, love this place!“

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

“Really nice and friendly people working here. The matcha is the best ever! Got a matcha latte and it is really premium matcha! Lots of really good flavor.“

“great coffee and great atmosphere. the staff are willing to help you if you are new. This absolutely on the top of my list for coffee.“

“Food and service was excellent.“
