Cafes near South Houston

“I read good reviews on FB so I decided to try this place when I was in the area. Ordered fried chicken steak as they said it’s their specialty. The portion is huge but the batter was not as crispy as i expected. It comes with 2 large sides. The atmosphere here was like a blue collar cafeteria with working people in and out constantly. I will try again if i was in the area.“

“Delicious coffee, great service. We got a cafe book to explore the Houston area a bit more and this is our first stop! The valley girl was perfect! We will Be back!“

“Get there early or they'll sell out (the cinnamon rolls were sold out by 10:45 that day)! There are picnic tables outside and windowsills inside where you can sit if you don't mind standing in line😄😋“

“Came here today to have lunch with coworkers. Service was great as usual and I’m pretty sure I turned my coworkers into regulars. We all tried the beef empanadas for the first time and I’m kicking myself for not ordering them before. 10/10, I look forward to coming by again ☺️“

“BEEF PHO KOLACHE!!!! 😭👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽“

“Food is fantastic. Employees are awesome. the daily specials, especially the giant hamburger on Mondays are terrific. so good, so filling. they are a local buisness who supports the community. Highly recommend. SUPPORT LOCAL“

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

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

“I have worked in the area for a long time and unfortunately never knew this place was here. It's got a pretty underwhelming store front but it's nice inside, waitress's were great and food was way better than I expected. I thought it would be a greasy spoon with the cook smoking a cigarette with the ash about to fall in the food but I was obviously way off. I definitely recommend if you are in the area for breakfast or dinner to try them out.“

“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.“

“Super cute spot and great coffee“

“I went in to First Cup today to try the coffee and breakfast sandwhich. I was impressed with the service (10/10) and cleanliness as well as the atmosphere. Very comfortable, cozy and warm. The coffee ( Americana with an extra shot of espresso) was made perfectly by Grace and the food (sausage,egg and cheese croissant) was on point. When Grace brought our food out it was just the right temperature. The restrooms were clean as well as the rest of the restaurant. I will be returning.“

“First time in!! I got an iced hazelnut coconut latte...vibes were awesome!! Cool beer selection and my drink is soooooo good!! Perfect way to kick off my weekend! 🥂“

“Love service and the drinks!!!“

“My first time there, I had a ball. It's AB well be most people in were very friendly D. J. Twan, is thereon Tuesday and it's really, really lively? There are pool tables from what I can see. So come early and enjoy yourself.It was a barbecue truck outside , so if you get hungry space is filled up quick.So come early , so you can find a good spot to park. See you next tuesday.“

“Just adopted our Lauren from here. The concept is really cool. You get to hang out with the cats while giving them treats and drinking coffee. You then get to take the cat you’re interested in home to see if they are a good fit. Cats are very well socialized with people due to the nature of this business and the establishment is very clean. A tip for anyone new who is visiting for the first time. There are 2 sections. One for the more active and playful cats and the other for the more introverted cats. Don’t be afraid to ask to see the other cats. Love this place and I highly recommend them if you are looking to adopt.“

“Jalapeño cheddar honey cornbread OMGGGGGGG!!!!!! Fire isn’t the word!!!! The flavor was impeccable and it was so moist definitely a must have. Gumbo was packed with flavor as well this place will not disappoint. If you’re looking for a good comfort meal give this place a try. Hits the spot“

“Attended a Scholarship event hosted by Girls, Inc. An AMAZING job! Great production planned the Awesome staff, volunteers & friends of Girls, Inc. Such a Dynamic influence in the lives of young ladies! Food & Atmosphere was 'head & shoulders' Above!“

“Just happened to be in the area and decided to try this place. The drinks were quickly made and tasted amazing. The atmosphere in the shop was nice and cozy. Good place to get some boba and chit chat. I'm very impressed with the quality of the drinks. They all tasted really good.“

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

“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 service and food were great, I really recommend the cranberry chicken salad !! The workers there treated me well and helped me with recommendations for the menu, they cleared up any questions we had which made me confident in my order. I would definitely come back here.“

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

“Great Breakfast And Lunch!!!“

“Beautiful place to hangout!”. Delicious Drinks & foods! Price is good. Definitely come back!👍👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️❤️“

“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.“

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

“I love the variety of fresh baked cookies. I occasionally make a special 32 mile trip from Stafford to pick up a dozen cookies. The bakeries on my side of town tend to offer giant cookies that are 2 to 3 times bigger than Savannah Bakery cookies, therefore cost 2 to 3 times the price and they don't have as big of a variety. My friends and I certainly don't need a giant cookie and it just doesn't seem like southern hospitality to offer to share a single cookie that may not be the variety my friend would choose. Savannah Bakery also has decorated cutout sugar cookies specific to upcoming occasions and holidays. Yesterday they had several Valentine's cookies. They also have a great menu and offer sandwiches, paninis, soups, salads, pastas, quiche, fresh fruit, chicken pot pie, a daily hot plate.“

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

“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.“

“The food is always made fresh, the lady who owns the place is a real sweetheart. The food is authentic, made with care and love. I would recommend the chicken dishes.“

“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...????‍♀️“

“Friendly and professional“

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

“WOW! What a wonderful place! We ordered a regulari hazelnut latte & mocha latte. Latte art as well!! Berry braid is so good and flakey!

They had just baked some FRESH croissants too!

I didn’t know it was attached to a museum so I will HAVE to stop by in the future!

Cute place & def worth stopping by for a photo op 🥰

If you’re looking for great coffee and GREAT service def stop by 🤍✨

I WILL be back!“

“Muy rica la comida y el servicio es rápido“

“We went for breakfast on March 30, 2025, the service was great and the food was even better! My husband had the biscuits and gravy and he said it was the best that he had ever had, that it was even better than his mom’s! If you ever have the chance, please go and check them out, I promise you will not be disappointed!“

“They have this new Pineapple Fritter, it is amazing, coffee is good! I recommend that you visit this place, the people are very polite. Love this Place ❤️🙏“
