One of the Best coffee I have tried outside of Indonesia. Coffee that is delicious and shockingly good! especially for an American coffee roaster. I don’t want to sound like I work for this company, I do not, so I will leave it at this: if you start your day with coffee and you live within a 15 hour drive from Houston, this is where I would buy my coffee. If you cannot get this coffee at your local grocery store or cafe I strongly recommend advocating to get these beans sent to you for your home. I’m so excited to have found it!

first off I love the coffee that we get from Katz. We order Katz even now that we live in the Washington DC area. It's fantastic. More importantly their customer service is fantastic. I goofed up and ordered 32 pounds of coffee when I meant to order 3 - 2 lb bags of coffee. Doh! Well, a quick call to them and they graciously corrected my mistake Thanks Katz! PS next time I will not use voice to text when I order

Fantastic coffee! I love the vibe inside and their approach to offering free coffee to patrons. The barista was very friendly on my first visit. I wish they were open earlier in the morning!

Anyone who knows coffee in Houston, likely knows Katz as one of the biggest local brands. So many of the reviews here are paying tribute to Katz as a product, but my review is actually about the location and the coffee itself. I walked in here completely blind. As a relatively new'ish Houstonian, I had no idea what the big deal was. I saw a highly rated "cafe" on Yelp and decided to come here to knock out some work and stay caffeinated in the process. When I walked in the doors at 9AM, I saw almost no one except one worker. He explained to me they don't sell coffee drinks here, but that they sell coffee beans / bags instead. He pointed to the wall of different coffee blends and said, "That's our money maker. We don't sell drinks though." And I thought I had made a mistake and was about to walk out. He then offered to make me a drink and I then noticed an entire menu of different drinks. "You don't sell drinks here? What's the menu all about?" And it dawned on me: they're free. Buy a bag, drink all the coffee in house you want. Brilliant. So I got a nitro cold brew and sat down to enjoy some of their semi-fast WiFi. There were couches and individual chairs and slowly but surely folks started trickling in and just ordering espressos, flavored lattes, and even their "Houston Strong" medium / dark roast drip. For free. At the very bottom of the dry erase board read: "All drinks are made complimentary + made with liquid love from the Katz fam." I love their various blends that span all around the world including countries like Nicaragua, Ethiopia, Kenya, Honduras, Costa Rica, etc. For coffee lovers, they make for great gifts and they even have special blends for University of Houston fans. I am not even the biggest coffee fan, but they've now got one in me. I plan on being a regular in no time.

I cannot say enough good things about this place. Great service and cute cafe ambience. First tried this when my brother in law sent us coffee for Christmas, so I had to go pay a visit when I was in town recently. They offer two complimentary coffee items when you are there, no catch! They also gave my son a hot chocolate too. Great selection of ground and whole bean coffee. Smooth flavors. Bought a few to take home as well, check out the pics! I've definitely become a fan.

We found Katz Coffee at Central Market when we lived in Houston almost a decade ago. We liked them so much that after we moved to The Netherlands, we had friends send us regular shipments of whole bean (probably illegal but whatever lol). And now we are back in the states again and we still enjoy their coffee. Hands down the best coffee out there today.

Cute "coffee shop". It's a distributor but you get 2 free drinks for every time you visit. Most of the time it's quiet and rarely crowded. I got the queen bay and it was delicious. Great place to come and hangout or have a study session early in the day. :)

I visited this place thinking It was just a coffee shop. Turns out they have the best coffee beans from around the WORLD and they do. Since this is one of my guilty pleasures I can certify it. My favorite so far is the Colombian one.It has beautiful decor and music, the whole vibe is so inviting. The staff is so nice and kind!They offer complementary drinks so you get to know their great work.

This is what real service looks like in 2024, I ordered some coffee. It came and I had a issue with the wrong grind type, I called them and they replaced my whole order and made it right! I've been drinking Katz coffee at my local donuts shop for years, everyday Cafe De Olla large. I'm so happy I can now french press at home and I'm excited to try the Houston flavors. Thanks Katz!
Ahhh, Katz coffee, a local Houston coffee distributor. I love their coffee, especially if you come here and get it fresh. This place has the best Latin American coffee I've ever had! They've recently made the inside more coffee shop like, which I think is smart. Additionally, since they are a distributor, you can get a cup of coffee, items with milk included, for free. You can't go wrong here! Love it!

If you're a coffee drinker, this is a mandatory stop when driving through Houston. Their beans are delicious. (I recently got the seasonal festivus blend.) They'll also make you a complimentary latte. There's plenty of seating inside and a cozy atmosphere. Staff is friendly.

Update: I was contacted by a member of their staff and they made it right. They explained the issue and were apologetic and professional. They've been our go-to coffee supplier for years. It's hard to beat Katz.I don't know what happened to Katz but they've decided not to fulfill our subscriptions. We've been loyal customers for four years and now no longer receive our coffee. I emailed their customer support and never got a reply. I checked our account and the subscriptions are still active. Doesn't make any sense so we'll have to find a different place. I hate to give a bad review but not getting our subscriptions for two months with no customer service is pretty bad.
