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!“

“5⭐ Absolutely beautiful place. The place is clean and organized, the barista was very nice and knowledgeable. I got a delicious drink but they do not play with their matcha, it was very strong that I couldn't finish it. I will be back though because there was some other stuff I wanted to try.“

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

“Great drinks and great service. This bar offers some of the best cocktails in the city. All their bartenders are true professionals and even with it getting very busy do provide great service.

The only downside about this place it is kind of small especially with how busy this place can get. You might have to stand to enjoy your drink but you will still have a great time.“

“The experience is amazing and utterly chill when studying and working with a nice cup of matcha latte on the side. 🍵 The drinks are tasty and atmosphere is on top with a nice look outside giving that ultimate cafe vibe! Truly one of the best looking cafes you would totally want to visit sometime 👌🏼“

“Wild is a very dreamy/Cozy coffee shop, CBD bar. Very Relaxing.“

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

“Great food and drinks, relaxed atmosphere“

“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.“

“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. ☕“

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

“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.“

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

“Wild is a very dreamy/Cozy coffee shop, CBD bar. Very Relaxing.“

“Slowpokes lives up to its name — both in the best and not-so-best ways. The coffee is always good, and the staff is genuinely friendly. The shop has plenty of seating and good vibes, but most of the chairs are fixed without backs. That means the few tables with benches and back support are usually taken, leaving the rest a bit uncomfortable if you’re hoping to really settle in.

Service is consistently slow, no matter the location. Even if we’re the only ones in line, there’s always a wait for drinks. That said, it’s still a nice spot with a warm atmosphere, good coffee, and a laid-back feel — just don’t come here in a rush or expecting to “post up” comfortably for long.“

“Friendly and knowledgeable staff! Great sandwich selections and pastries! Iced lattes are incredible!“

“I’m not going to lie. I was iffy on the concept of an outdoor cookie shop — in this Texas heat, I think not!

In this instance, I was gladly proven wrong. My experience at Milk and Cookies really blew me away. The chocolate chip cookies was to die for, the ambiance Pinterest worthy, and not going to lie, there was something about ending my day outside with a warm cookie that made the experience magical.

It was a 9/10 experience that will have me going back the next time I crave a sweet treat; the only thing that could have made it better was if my milk was a little bit more cold when served lol, and if they had a little bit more seating. Truly think they can either fit a picnic table or 1-2 more mini tables in the lawn area.

Tip: I have a couple. First, as the name suggests, you can literally order a glass of milk alongside your cookies. I’d recommend you do this to tie the experience together. As well, I’d visit when the sun is going down. It honestly wasn’t too hot around 6pm but peak TX heat can be brutal. Be careful out there. Finally, Milk & Cookies can be a cute way to end your date with a little sweet treat, js!“

“Really nice coffe shop. Only issue would be, with a large latte they need to up the shots of espresso. Very little coffee flavor in the lg. latte, all milk.“

“Great coffee…great place.“

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

“Very cute coffee shop! Staff was very friendly“

“Highly recommend coming here to study!! The atmosphere is very nice and their service is always great Abbi and Jake were so kind and helpful. The food is always good, my favorite is the prosciutto and burratta sandwich with their wedges, very filling and always made with care. Just tried the blueberry matcha today and it’s delicious! Love it here!“

“I visited this place yesterday. Not sure how long it's been there but it is currently fighting for my favorite place to get Bahn mi. The meatball bahn mi was.... wetter than I'm use to, but But BUT OMG the flavor is ALL there! That grilled pork tho! What can I say? If I lived closer I would be standing outside waiting for them to open....ev VA re day. Being the big back that I am there are thing I would do a lil different. But I'm telling this is one of them places that will be getting my money even if I have to dig in my couch, raid my car, rob my kids or just work like a good father. Remember this is just one fat boy's opinion. Try it for yourself, you might like it. Then again.... you might not. I will be back that is both a threat and a promise!🥰“

“Highly recommend. Great atmosphere and service.“

“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!“

“This is such a cute place. instantly brightens your day. 10/10 recommend. Hazelnut toast amazing Truffle Burrata toast YUMMMYYY“

“This review is solely for the Reformer Pilates classes they offer. It was my first time at this studio yesterday, and the instructor Nataly was so welcoming, clear with her cues, and provided challenging moves! The vibe of the studio is really nice and I really like the neon lights and the music (I know that might be jarring for some people, but it really helps with the workout!). I didn’t super like that my reformer didn’t have a mirror directly in front of it, so I hope they change that. It’s great that they are on Classpass and also offer such competitive prices for classes, which makes them accessible. They had ample parking and I grabbed a cappuccino on the way out which was delicious!“

“I’m a sucker for gelato, but dang ol this is good stuff!! For Spring Break 2022, we are doing an ice cream tour of Houston. We heard about this place, but it blew us away!! My kids never want another kind (& honestly, me neither)! ♥️“

“Refuge is an absolute blast and the perfect spot for a late night out. The atmosphere is always lively and fun, and the crowd is great. It's the kind of place you go when you want to have a good time and stay out until the early hours. The drinks are fantastic, the music is on point, and it's always a guaranteed good night. I highly recommend it for anyone looking for a fun and energetic late-night bar. Julia is the bomb.“

“Exceptional service, Brigitte knows my order by heart and has it ready for me the second I get to the window. Kind and attentive employees, great pastries, and great coffee. This Common Bond has a homier and more welcoming vibe than most sit-down coffee shops—which is impressive considering it's a drive-thru!“

“love the chai latte- wish I could get a large!“

“Great atmosphere and staff! Best cappuccino in town, and great chai...not syrupy sweet, just good and satifying. You'll love it.“

“It’s a great restaurant and the food is delicious. I have been a customer of the Rice Village location since the early 2000s.“

“BEEF PHO KOLACHE!!!! 😭👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽“

“Seriously, this place has some amazing boba drinks, you won't regret it! Their coffee is fantastic, too, especially if you're needing a caffeine boost. But listen up, the coffee with egg cream is where it's at, seriously, try it! I've been going back for that drink alone, it's so unique and delicious. You should go and give it a shot!“

“My colleagues and I love the ambiance of this place, especially after handling several cases on a Monday. We enjoy the option to sit indoors or outdoors, which adds to the experience. The food was served quickly and was delicious. I tried the Caprese bowl and the best-fried chicken sammich, both of which were excellent. Overall, my amazing team and I look forward to visiting again soon!“

“My drink was so tasty and refreshing!!!!! Staff is very nice and helpful!!! Will be coming back again!!!“

“Ninja Matcha is a great stop for matcha lovers! They have a great selection for matcha and hojicha drinks and desserts.
I really like matcha desserts that aren't leaning too vanilla or sweet. I love that they offer 4 levels of matcha ice cream, which you can get 1-2 scoops or in a small/large pint. You can also add in toppings, I like adding oreos chunks!
I got a level 3 this time, and it's slightly sweet with a great tea flavor.

The staff ate friendly and the place is spacious and clean. They have tons of seating, and a long bench incase you have a large group. Great place to study due to its chill atmosphere or chat with friends!“

“- Delicious ice cream, amazing mochi waffles, my kids love the milk tea, and the roll cake is really good. - Cute decorations, nice original paintings, lovely music. Cozy atmosphere 🥰 Recommended for everyone, especially matcha lovers 💚 A must-try café shop in Houston ☕“

“First time trying this place based on an article I saw from Eatery and it did not disappoint! It was so satisfying that I decided to write this 5 star review right away. I got the banh mi thit nuong (bbq pork baguette) and the seasoning was just right with a slight buttery taste on the baguette. The baguette was soft and fluffy yet still maintained a little crispiness on the outside but not to where it will injure the upper roof of your mouth. Anyway the banh mi thit nuong reminds me of this other place I used to love but stopped going there because quality went down. Glad I tried this place and this will be my go-to banh mi shop from now on! I will definitely be back to try the other banh mi! I hope they maintain their quality!“

“Each crepe, like the spice, has a different and unique wonderful taste. While dining Space/time folds upon itself allowing the consumers to travel through many universes without ever moving.“

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

“Amazing setback coffee shop!

Calm, small, quit.
The definition of heaven on earth.
Very clean, very organised, beautiful vibe, amazing staff.
Sumaya, you made my day dear, may Allah bless you!
Restrooms, decent parking, wheelchair friendly.

Wally Jo's THUMBS-UP!!
Wally Jo's gratitude for Sumaya, what a great staff member!“

“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.“

“The Lavender Latte and pastries are delicious and everyone is so kind! They made my day!“

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