38 Best Cafes near South Houston

“I went here for my lunch break today. Overall, I loved it. I got the Reuben sandwich, which was delicious. The fries were just ok. The servers were great and checked on me 2-3 times. Food was out quickly, so a great spot for a 30 minute lunch break! Spent just over $10.“

“Best kolaches I’ve ever had. If there’s a line, it moves quick.“

“I recently visited XELA Coffee Roasters and was thoroughly impressed by their exceptional service and high-quality coffee offerings. Whether you prefer hot or cold coffee, XELA has you covered with their expertly brewed options that cater to every taste. The highlight of my visit was undoubtedly the purchase of a pound of their fresh coffee beans. The rich aroma and robust flavor of the beans are a testament to their commitment to quality and freshness. The staff were incredibly knowledgeable and friendly, making the entire experience delightful. If you're a coffee enthusiast looking for top-notch service and excellent coffee, XELA Coffee Roasters is a must-visit. I highly recommend them!“

“Très bien accueilli. Personnel très compétent. Très joli endroit. Les crêpes sont très bonnes et le chocolat chaud avec de la cannelle une tuerie.“

“My first visit at First Watch was totally awesome thanks to my server Brianna. She was very attentive to my needs and wants. The food was great and her service was excellent. Thank you Brianna for a wonderful outing. I most definitely will be back to see you.“

“What an amazing place to get brunch and drinks. It’s a great place with different types coffee and pastries. They also have different types of seating and they have an abundant amount of outdoor seating as well. Great selection and to be honest, it exceeded my expectations. The drink wasn’t anything out of the ordinary, however, it was still good. The highlights were the Beef pho kolache and the banana bread mochi. I’ve never tasted anything like those two. My only complaint was that they didn’t bring the coffee to my seat with my food. So I waited around 15 minutes to flag down a waiter and they told me that I had to wait in front and pick up my drink then even though I was dining in again and they gave me a number. I wish I knew that, However I still highly recommend this place and would come back.“

“Super cute spot and great coffee“

“Delicious coffee and food. Friendly staff!“

“My husband regrets taking me to Waygood Coffee because now I need my daily iced Waygood. I can see why the line is so long, great customer service and coffee!“

“This cafe is exception! I found it a couple of weeks ago and I have been every week since. I can not get enough of the cuban sandwich and the empanadas are so good. I probably could eat a dozen. Get a cuban with mayo added and a few empanadas, the chicken are my favorite but the beef are really good too. A cafe con leche with an extra expresso shot to round it off and you will be sitting fat and sassy.“

“Close to home, friendly service, nice atmosphere and great coffee! They also have macaroons that are sooo good!“

“Was looking for a cozy cafe that had a full menu and free wifi, so my friend and I tried here! Support local“

“Hometown,cozy, locals hangout.
Whenever I’m in Texas visiting family, I like to stop here and grab breakfast.
Across from me my dad, biscuits and gravy, bacon and hash browns.
I opted for chicken fried chicken, white gravy, eggs, hash brown and toast.
And yes you get a choice of eggs, toast or biscuits, and hash browns or grits.

“Excellent food!! I don’t eat salad but the salads here are phenomenal!!“

“My wife and I went on a Sunday morning, such a neat little spot hidden in the entrance of Magnolia. There was 1 awesome employee who was running everything, he took the orders, than rushed to greet new guest walking in, then rushed to make the food/coffee’s for the order’s then he’d rushed with a smile to bring out the food or drinks to the guest. 1 man show and was killing it. Great iced coffee and crepes!! ??“

“The environment here is amazing, great for studying and catching up with friends, I have been here before and it never disappoints. Odest was a great host and prepared one of the best acai bowls I've ever tried.“

“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.“

“Very cool vibes. It's a place that beats to their own drum. Seems like they always have something going on during the weekends. I've ordered their fish 🌮's which are good and have had their delicious blueberry muffins, the best. Their coffee is exceptional. Have already been back a few times. Oh, they also have wine and beer selection, too. Very relaxing. I've started following them to see what entertainment they host. My reading is really a 4.5 & that's just bc I thought the tacos were slightly bland but that's really a preference thing. If you're in the area five this place a looksie, it'll be worth your time, Imo.“

“Love going to Busy Bee. We went this last Saturday as we do every Saturday. Savannah was our server and she was kind and did a great job. Christina usually is our server and she is great, but she was not working that day and Savannah did a great job serving us. We like all the servers there and we go there a lot and feel like we are with family. Always enjoy the food and company.“

“Best coffee ever you should bring to United Kingdom we don’t have good coffee here“

“Vegan kolaches and lavender strawberry lemonade! Lovely music, plenty of tables and chairs, local artisan gifts for sale along with live plants and paintings. Open til midnight Friday and Saturday after the game/show!“

“My family really enjoyed our visit! It’s a genius idea, and I loved that everything is kept neat and clean. The cats were so much fun to interact with while we sipped our beverages. My kids met other fellow “cat ladies” and it was very relaxing. Of course we would have loved to adopt a new baby, but right now is not the right time for us. We will definitely be back to visit.“

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

“I have been here so many times! It’s a place my friends and I love to visit. The food is always very fresh, healthy, and delicious! This time I decided to put a review because of the impeccable service! Today we came in as group of 7 we each ordered or food but one of my friends order didn’t come with all the rest of ours. So after about 15 mins my friends order didn’t asked the waiter/manager where her food was. He apologize profusely and then even offered her a free dessert for their forgetfulness! Mind u this is the only time they have had this mishap with us. I just wanted to say thank you for the thoughtfulness and service! It’s not only about the food and atmosphere but also the experience. This is a highly recommended place for me!!“

“Great Breakfast And Lunch!!!“

“Don't want to make a biased post due to the fact that I DJ at this establishment, but from a customer's standpoint I would say that the atmosphere is great. The crowd is mixed with both young and old as well as the music which consists of blues, zydeco, r&b, and hip hip/ rap closer to the end of the night. Friday nights is a packed house. Saturday night is a great chill time. Sunday night plays host to the battle off the DJs. So if your ever in the area Friday/Saturday night stop by and you will find me DJ Lil Tay on the 1s and 2s.“

“Best Boba tea around Bay Area, so much varieties and choices. Super friendly staff and cashier !!!!“

“Wonderful desserts and super friendly!!“

“I'm giving a 5 star plus because they're usually good and I throughly enjoy their products especially there smoothies, they are awesome but today the gentleman that made my drinks was no bueno. It was disappointing. By the time I walked back to my job across the street(Central Library)...My drink looks like this it started separating and I shook it and it still separated...very disappointing since I couldn't return back to Fresh before they closed and my break was over...Not a happy camper...????‍♀️“

“el elote esta rikisimo con su quesito autentico mexicano y unos licuados bien preparados al gusto ��“

“Second time visiting and both times have been AMAZING! The sandwiches and pastries are all delicious! Especially their cinnamon rolls and brownies. BLT, Cubano, turkey goddess, and grilled cheese have been tasty. Love that you can choose your bread type. Will be here at least bi weekly from here on out. I want to try to out their whole menu“

“The food is very delicious, a young lady who has worked there for many years is very friendly. I don't know if she still works there. I have a hard time not going, the bad thing is the long wait... if they took orders by phone it would be a lot of good for the business and for the client.“

“Nice, clean cafe with fresh food. The cranberry chicken salad is my fave. They serve it on your bread of choice with a pickle, potato salad or chips, and a mini pumpkin muffin. Their pies are out of this world, but the Coca-Cola cake lets me time travel to my childhood.“

“It's super cute inside and the matcha is good quality! I got the iced matcha latte with oat milk, half sweet, and at first sip it was a bit too sweet, but after vigorously mixing it around, it balanced out, so make sure you mix your drink!!

From what I noticed, there were some outlets and plenty of seating. The chairs were super cute and comfy and are on the shorter side of things.

All in all, I'd love to come back and try a new drink and maybe even some of their food items!! (11/24/24)“
