“Was in Houston for a few days and so glad I found this place!They curate their coffee beans from all over the world and have an extensive range of coffee/tea drinks to choose from. The espresso I had both days was extremely balanced and very smooth so I imagine their espresso based drinks are excellent. They had a very robust pour over selection as well I will certainly be trying next time.There was a wide range of pastry and food offerings that spanned a variety of options from sweet or savory toasts, to burritos and even an interesting Australian sausage roll. The menu had a ton of things I would have loved to try without being overly complex or excessive. I went for the avocado toast which was executed very well!Finally the atmosphere rounded out my fantastic experience. It felt contemporary and cozy without being stuffy a place Im sure many people hang out to work or chat. Huge windows let in plenty of light at all times of the day.No need to go anywhere else when you’re in Houston and in need a unique coffee experience or need a quick bit to eat!“
“I have an extensive list of coffee shops on my "must try" and Oso has definitely been on my list. I got up early this morning and decided to swing by for a coffee with a friend. The location is very small but extremely inviting. The inside can sit maybe 10-15 people and there is some outdoor seating available. I could see this place getting packed pretty quickly. The staff is very friendly and the service is fast. While we already had breakfast prior to arriving we were pleasantly surprised they offered a breakfast menu. We both had the horchata latte and a concha. We really enjoyed the horchata latte was really good, super excited to try more drinks! This might be my new regular!“
“Waygood always has great coffee! I used to visit another local coffee place but the coffe began tasting burned and bitter. At Waygood the coffee is fresh and full of flavor. The service is always fast and friendly. I enjoy the friendly smiles and good vibe at Waygood.“
“we just moved here from north jersey and we were craving a taste of home. We figured we wouldn’t be able get a real new york style $1 slice but just wanted something to hit the spot. i’m so glad we found mony’s! the pizza was amazing, perfect cheese to sauce ratio and a delicious thin crust. we ordered pick up but the inside of the restaurant is so cute we plan on eating in next time. staff was so nice, and this was an all around great experience. we will definitely be coming back!!!“
“The best coffee in Downtown. I am here so so often. Call me a regular. I walk to here. I live on their great coffee (Mayan, cafe Ole..) and their bean tamale with plantain chips. Their Mexican cups are so cool and the place is comfy. Shawn who works there is great, single and sexy. ??“
“The interior is very well done. Extremely comfortable and welcoming. I enjoy that there is a little patio outside with outdoor seating as well.The employees were super respectful and very nice. I genuinely enjoyed the conversation we had and their help in going through their menu options. I really like that the caffeinated teas are in a different color on the menu than the non-caffeinated ones, very nice touch.I ordered a to-go caramel macchiato and it was very good. The beans were flavorful and the caramel was exactly as I needed. I also like that the employees hand you your beverage so you really get the opportunity to sit down and take in their well set up atmosphere.“

“Wonderful BUY 1 GET 1 Free Coupon for the Signature Lattes (made hot, iced, or frappe style) they are offering to our neighborhood so my bf and I decided to check it out. We also used the coupon to try the Nutella Stuffed Waffle and tried 1 entree item. Huge savings and great 1st time deal!We loved the drinks. Delicious and unique flavors. Perfect serving sizes. I loved the employees. They were so kind and always smiling. Very attentive. The owner also approached us and talked to us while we enjoyed the drinks and food.They host weekly bingo and trivia nights where you win prizes as well as free coffee or drinks. I'd come and play games sometime. Definitely will be coming back here.Tons of free games to play with friends and family and wifi for students to study!Kid-friendliness: There is a whole playset of toys here for children to enjoy while parents enjoy some food and coffee. Also a kids menu is available! Definitely bring your kids :D“
“Probably one of my favorite coffee shops around the area!! Everytime i go, i get welcomed and i like this place cus it offers different varieties of drinks besides caffeine so if you are not a coffee fan they also have other type of drinksss!!!“
“This is legit the best vegan bakery I have ever been to in my life. Every single thing they make is uniquely designed and delicious- more tasty than any vegan pastries I have ever had. It doesn’t even matter what flavor it is or type of pastry, everything tastes amazing. If I had thousands of dollars to donate to something, it would be this place.“
“Had this place late lastnight for the first time…. Had I not Had a meeting I woiodve Had again for the lunch the shaken beef and the shrimp spring rolls and he fried rice 10/10 ! High recommend. Hit the pregnancy craving out the park The service better than most restaurants. Such a lovely staff!“
“We came here for breakfast. The cashier and food server were very friendly and polite. The busser was also very nice. The food was delicious. However, as we were finishing up I wanted to refill my coffee right as the restaurant experienced a big rush. There was only one coffee urn for the “bottomless cup” and it was being refilled. I waited several minutes for it to fill as a coffee line formed behind me. In college I worked in the service industry and know how to put the spout back into a coffee urn so I asked a busser if I could. He said he’d go get the manager to help. I didn’t want to wait even longer and the restaurant was packed, so I put it back together myself. I should have just waited, I know. As I did that the manager came out and I nicely and politely told her that I’d already put it back together. I guess she didn’t listen or didn’t hear me because she told me to sharply to give her a second and she’d give us more coffee. I told her, again nicely and politely, that it’s already full. She turned around and literally gave me a look like she wanted to kill me. The lady next to us was surprised too. Through gritted teeth she said, “Like I said, let me get my bearings and we will get you more coffee” in a seething voice. I was a little shaken. She was so incredibly rude. I understand that I should have just waited, but there should have been several coffee urns available and we’d already waited. I’ve been busy and flustered before and I worked in the service industry in college. Even when busy and annoyed, I never spoke to a customer rudely, much less with pure vitriol in my voice and expression. I can’t imagine how she treats the employees. All the other employees were nice and the food was good so that’s why they get four stars. If it weren’t for that run in with the manager over poorly stocked bottomless coffee on a Saturday morning then I would have given five.“
“This is my spot! I was put on to the Lavender Latte and it is now my go to! They also give impeccable customer service. Shout out to Marco, Kevin, Julius and everyone I don’t know by name lol. You all are absolutely fantastic, and appreciated.Warmest Regards,Alesha B.“
“What a lovely place! The prices are fair, the service was fast, and our drinks and food were delicious. I liked the honey lime jasmine tea with mango jelly and the Vietnamese coffee is delicious too. We love their egg rolls and fried wontons. I will definitely be back!“
“Hands-down, my favorite coffee shop in Houston. All of the baristas are literally so sweet and care so much about you having a perfect experience. We went in on a Sunday afternoon and we were easily able to find a seat—which I’ve never experienced at any other Houston coffee shop but they literally have so much space and seating it’s lovely. I had both the Pistachio Matcha Latte and Nutella Crepe and both were phenomenal. Will absolutely be returning.“
“I like the variety of coffee and suggested seasonal flavors they have. Haven't been able to try any of the food items yet. Came a couple times in the fall for the seasonal suggested drink menu. They are more on the sweeter side. Which most people like so I know to get a few pumps less of syrup for my own personal taste. There is a couple tables to sit outside but it's more of a grab and go convenient coffee location.“
“I went for first time and was very happy with the service and pineapple push pop drink. It was very good, great value, and I actual felt so much better after drinking it. I could tell the difference in how I wasn't feeling 100% when I walked in and after that drink I felt 100 again. The gentleman that helped me I can't remember his name but he was so helpful and kind. I'll make that my go to shop when I'm in the area.“
“Love this place so far. I've only been a few times but hoping to make it a regular spot. It does get pretty crowded though, especially for Magic events, but they have a calendar that kinda helps you avoid the bigger events. A bit cramped but only because they try to maximize the tables available and very very friendly/accepting.Parking: Their parking area is very limited and people tend to just find spots on the side streets. The area is getting... revamped, so hopefully the street parking stays free or they're able to buy more space.“
“Coco is a staple for us in midtown. The crepes, paninis, pastries, and gelato are all sublime. They make great coffee/espresso drinks as well. The staff are so friendly and accommodating. The outdoor seating is plentiful and the ambient music is enjoyable but not distracting. Recommend the savory crepes - my favorite is the Mediterranean crepe.“
“Had time to kill and this was the perfect outdoor spot. The Cafe de Olla was perfectly sweet and smooth (I usually always need a splash of milk to kill the bitterness) no cream needed. Enjoyed the sound of the water fixtures and relaxing music.“
“The milk tea and slushes are superb here!I will say, their spiciness ratings for their chicken are somewhat misleading. I had an order with the “low level” of spiciness and I could pretty much eat only one piece at a time.Sadly their prices have increased a ton lately“
“2nd cup is right alright, you can't drink just 1 latte.... the secret squirrel latte is my heaven in a cup here. Im not too keen on the name (in a bronx accent). "Come on! i got grey hair here for crying out loud!" Ok ok I will swallow my pride and mumble "let me have the secret squirrel latte please" thank you Melissa bring your own cup and save the planet.“
“The food smell great, my friend gave it a 8 and I'd have to go 7 1/2 its was a Lil too salty for me. We got Jerk chicken, sweet potatoes & cabbage. Everything came with it'd on juice, which was surprising. And the bay leafys was too much in cabbage had a time picking those out. The jerk sauce was off & the chicken was a Lil too brunt. But the ideal of different Jamaican style dishes is there.“
“The coffee here is actually soooo good! The staff is super friendly and the vibes are great too. For studying or doing work, it's a good place to stay for a few hours. There are plenty of outlets and good wifi. My only complaint is that the seats aren't very comfy. Also parking can be a chore. The small gravel lot to the left of the storefront is safe to park in- there aren't any signs saying its for un caffe, which can be confusing because the sign says "assigned parking" or something like that- but I've parked there many times without issues. There is also metered street parking in front of it and on the side streets.“
“Staff speaks French, authentic French pâtisserie. My favorites were the sandwich au thon, et le pain aux raisin. The quality of the baguette for the sandwich was great and it was nice eating outside they even made homemade dog treats for my dog.“
“I drove the 50 minutes all the way here because I heard they had good gluten free donuts and I was not disappointed! I’m trying to keep this review family friendly but the donuts were so good I really want to cuss.I also had an iced evergreen latte which was absolutely lovely.Can’t recommend this place enough.“
“Stella girl you did yo thaaannng !We were extremely satisfied with our visit, definitely will become our new go-to brunch spot ? With such a mouth watering menu, we couldn’t decide so we got a little bit of everything and it was all fresh and made with love ? looking forward to coming back to try more menu items !“
“By far my favorite shop in Pearland. Amazing espresso at fair prices, refreshing seasonal drinks, kind baristas, and a comfy vibe.PCR softens the blow of moving to the ‘burbs by offering everything I miss about coffee shops in Houston proper.“
“Cam’t wait to come back!! This truly is a hidden gem, and a welcome respite from the fast food places around the area. Food was delicious and fresh. The desserts were *chefs kiss*. Loved the fact that the drinks weren’t overly sweet.We had the Chicken Banh Mi, Pork Banh Mi, spring roll, the Pink Lady Lemonade and the Detox Mint Green Tea. The owner said the desserts were seasonal, but if you get a chance try the coconut mini cake (white) pr the banana/sesame (yellow) one.“
“I am so glad I finally stopped in. The beef bulgogi was yummy! As a picky eater I was happy there wasn't alot of veggies that I had to pick out. The glass noodles were also very flavorful. I was greeted with a smile & my food was ready quick. I will definitely be back.“
“This place is adorable!!! Super friendly service, lots of seating, and great truffle, muffin, cookie, cake and macaron selection. $3 per macaroni; $3 per truffle. Lots of teas and coffee options with dairy-free milks. Will definitely be back!“
“This place always has amazing customer service and delicious food! They were very accommodating towards a good allergy I have and Simone took all of the precautionaries to make my experience safe and enjoyable. Will definitely be coming here a lot more!“
“I had the pleasure of visiting Tout Suite last weekend and was served by Victoria, whose service was truly outstanding. From the moment we were seated, Victoria made us feel welcome with her warm smile and attentive manner. She had an excellent grasp of the menu and provided insightful recommendations based on our preferences.Victoria was very knowledgeable about the cafe's offerings and her passion for customer service shone through.Despite the busy atmosphere, she ensured our orders were perfectly timed and that we never felt neglected.She checked in with us regularly without being intrusive, and her friendly conversation added a personal touch that set our experience apart from other cafes. It's rare to find someone who not only excels in their role but also genuinely enhances the dining experience through their charisma and dedication.We will definitely return, not just for the excellent food and coffee, but to enjoy the superb service that Victoria provides. Highly recommended!“
“I can go on and on about Ella. They are mygo-to for coffee. Laura and the rest of the ladies are great. What I love is that the drinks taste like coffee and not too sweet. My favorites are the mocha frappe, oat latte, and horchata latte, and of course the George. Everything I’ve ever ordered has been delicious!“
“Seriously they might consider Perfect Cup as an alternate name. The space could not be more warm and welcoming. I love their blend of comfort, function, and the modern rustic vibe. The coffee is phenomenal and the staff actually knows the product and about the coffee they serve.I ordered a latte and my friend got some coffee cake and an ube iced espresso - it was all wonderful.“
“Man this place is so good, i really like their strawberry and banana boba with the popping boba. The lady is nice and i watched them make my boba and they are so good at making boba. I really enjoyed this place immediately 5 stars!Kid-friendliness: She was really nice to me even though i was 10“
“I really enjoyed the atmosphere. I ordered the breakfast burger and it was delicious. The mimosas were good too. We arrived early, but I must warn you that after 12p, it gets crowded. It would be great if they could add some extra shade to the patio area, as I imagine it will get very hot during the summer.“
“Love this place. The staff is so nice. The teas are sooo good!! I love the fact that you can bring your own cup here. Every time I am on the side of town I always stop by to get me the unsweetened Georgia tea. You can also mix teas if you want and it is self served. They also have a drive thru.“
“For my healthy plant-based humans! Ohhhh the best sweet potato fries are here. I know you aren't expecting that to be the first cheer, but it was great to indulge in a crispy non-greasy sweet potato!!! This location seems to be fairly new, but you can get the essentials.I ordered the cheesy cheesy burger. It changed my life! It has a little spice and all the flavor and fresh veggies you would expect on a burger. I want to go back right now lol!!! You will love it!“
“I absolutely loved coming here especially on my first time. Great environment, friendly staff, and great tea. I had a conversation about this kind of boba with a friend before and came by to try some out. Was blown away by everything especially the aesthetics of the restaurant. Will come back when possible.“
“They good was delicious. They had a great variety of meats, pan Dulce, chips and fruit.I got me 2 tacos uno de Huevo con jamon y otro de nopales con salchicha.I also grabbed a fruit mix plate and the fruit was super fresh.Everyone was in a great mood.I would definitely be back.“

“This is truly a hidden gem!! I stopped by two other coffee shops before arriving here. Summer Moon had no seats and I was ignored by the barista. The coffee shop further down was also overcrowded. The only other people were a couple on a date.The coffee was original and delicious. I thoroughly enjoyed my croissant sandwich. I would hands down visit again!!“
“We have been coming here for years and have never been disappointed. Dina is always working to add variety and make her already perfect donuts even better. Her service and genuine warmth are unmatched. Stop by in the am for a fresh glazed donut, there is nothing like it. So with that being said, if you pass up this little hidden gem and choose Shipleys, you deserve Shipleys cold donuts.“

“If I could gibe them 1000 stars I would. The energy in here is Amazing. The staff is beyond friendly. They are always engaging with the customers and other employees. The Store Manager April Lsedore is AWESOME! I let her and her staff know how I love it here when I come to change my work scenery as I work from home. The last Starbucks that is closer to my house, did not make me feel this way. So please KUDOS to this AMAZING TEAM here at 1400 Nasa Rd. 1, Houston, TX 77058. Special shout out to Maya, as she makes you feel right at home. She is SUPER FRIENDLY. The energy in here is intoxicating. You just want to take it all in. They make my work day so fun and easy!“
“The first time I tried boba was in FL because thats where I’m from and I couldn’t find something here as good as what I had but I finally found the one! A& it is so close to home! I absolutely loved the vibes inside and the drinks are delicious! Definitely will be back.“
“I make my way to Leo's twice a week, and let me tell you, it's a triple threat: unbeatable prices, delectable food, and service that'll make you feel right at home. Nestled conveniently near 610 and the gym, it's a breeze to swing by before work.The staff? Absolute gems. Sure, they might hustle under the fast-paced demands, but rest assured, you'll be savoring your meal in no time flat.And the pièce de résistance? Their steam table! It's a carousel of daily specials, complete with a drink, all for the wallet-friendly price of $8.99. We're talking healthy, home-cooked meals that won't break the bank.Leo's is a hotspot for the blue-collar crowd and local folks - a testament to the hearty, satisfying meals they dish out.So whether you're fueling up for the day or winding down, Leo's is your go-to for a hearty, affordable meal in Houston.Dietary restrictions: Many gluten free and friendly options.Parking: Limited“
“This place is located in a shady area and we were a bit skeptical going in but it’s so nice inside. Looks like a converted warehouse. We ordered vanilla latte on the recommendation of the cashier and it was delicious. I had the classic with scrambled eggs, turkey bacon and sourdough toast. The eggs were creamy and lightly seasoned the presentation was neat and clean. My husband had the croissant with eggs and that was delicious too. We also got almond croissant and crème brûlée cheese cake. Everything was delicious and the bill was around $45. Which I thought was very reasonable. Loved it, recommend it and would love to come back.“
“When we arrived with a party of 3 we were told there would be a 20 minute wait because there were a lot of people ahead of us. Fair enough. However, from the door I counted 8 empty booths and at least one large round table. It seemed they were seating in order of arrival, because we weren't seated until after a party of 5 or 6, who.also had to wait despite a large table sitting empty, was seated. We did get an apology for the wait, and we were seated in one of the empty booths I mentioned earlier.The food was fair to great. We started with an appetizer of fried pickles. They had a nice salty/sour taste and the batter had good adhesion to the pickles.The Reuben Melt with potato chips was great, and the pastrami has a fantastic smokey favor. We took an extra one to go.The Chocolate Chip Pancakes were good. The pancakes themselves were fluffy but not overly sweet, balancing the chocolate syrup and chips well.The chicken and waffles were disappointing. The waffle was fine, but the chicken was ordinary chicken tenders with no noticable seasoning. Not the southern fried flavor one would expect.The decor in the restaurant was nice, but there was an unpleasant odor. It might have originated from outside, or from the spill in the kitchen we noticed every time the door opened that remained for the duration of our visit.Once we were seated, the waitress was cheerful, friendly, and attentive. We suspect that they may have been short staffed during our visit. If so, I'd recommend seating guests as soon as possible so they can at least get drinks. People tend to be more patient when seated.“
“I love their cold brew, usually there is a good seasonal flavor on, and their pre made sandwiches are great and inexpensive for a quick lunch on the go option.No indoor seating, and the dog friendly patio way too often means everyone brings their dogs who spend all morning barking at the other dogs (or maybe I am unlucky with when I go!), so I love to get my cold brew and take a walk on the super pretty tree lined Bayland on weekend mornings!“
“Had a coffee with a shot of butterscotch and a recommended Santa fe taco. Tried lemon blueberry and spple cider mini donuts. Staff WONDERFUL helping me pick with my allergies to egg and cows milk. Thank you!Vegetarian options: Mini donuts are vegan as are other menu items. Nice selection. Multiple milk alternatives as well.“
“Historic Arches, Modern Restaurant with all the latest upgrades, including the 2 lane drive thru ordering. Also a Red Box at this location at the very back of the parking lot. Many Pokemon Go gyms and pokestops in the immediate vicinity as well.Update 2024: That was 7 years ago and nothing has changed except that there is no longer a Red Box at this location. Love the Frozen Dr Pepper!“
