We visited 787 Coffee on Sunday, a Puerto Rican coffee shop located in the Montrose area. I absolutely love the aesthetic of the space. It's the kind of place where you can work, do homework, or just meet up with friends. I also love the greenery. One of my favorite features is the wraparound porch on both the lower and upper levels, with seating that overlooks the neighborhood. It creates such a relaxed and welcoming vibe. There was a bit of a wait, but it was actually pleasant because we were able to walk around and get a feel for the space. This place is so cute and has plenty of seating both indoors and outdoors, making it perfect for studying or catching up with friends. I will say that parking can be a bit of a hassle so you'll likely need to street park. They also feature rum- and whiskey-infused beans. We orderer the Horchata and the Dulce de leche latte. If you get your drink iced, it comes in the cutest little package with a fun straw--a small detail that makes the experience even better. Overall, I really enjoyed this place and would definitely come back.

Prepare to wait over 30 mins for coffee!! I get it, Bad Bunny vibes and Puerto Rican pride. Cool, sure.. thats great. However, while this coffee shop is "cool" and the aesthetic is pleasing, the baristas are slow and pretty bad. (Sorry, not sorry) I ordered 2 horrchata iced lattes to go for me and my dad. The Baristas were so damn behind. 30-35 mins waiting for 2 of the same iced lattes is crazy. And there was a hell of a line. While the baristas see people waiting, they were just having the time of their life talking and dancing. Management looked like Gen-Z which made a lot of sense. Also after finally getting the coffees they weren't great. $11 each!!! Never coming back here.

I really enjoyed this place! It's such a cute coffee shop with so much seating to study (indoors and outdoors) and catch up with friends in a neighborhood. I will say that the parking is a bit dicey so you will need to street park. However if you live close by, this would be so fun to just walk to. They feature rum and whiskey infused beans, which to me made the coffee "feel" or "taste" smoother but for someone who isn't that picky on notes, I would not be able to tell you if that was true. I got a coquito latte with rum infused beans. If you get iced, your drink comes in a cute lil package with a fun straw instead of a cup. Fun fact, this does not make the coffee alcoholic, it is non-alcoholic. The employees were really nice, they made sure to clean down and disinfect the bar for my friend with an allergy and were helpful in providing recommendations.

Please come give this place a try. The atmosphere is very welcoming and fresh. Seems like a very good place for a date! The staff is very helpful and informative about the coffee and different beans. Delicious Coffee! Big shoutout to "DOC" he was very helpful! Definitely the MVP of our first time experience here! Thank You 787 Coffee -Santangelo B Gonzales

The good: the vibes and decor are great. The baristas are polite. Parking is easy enough. Regular coffee is good. The empana was filling and well seasoned. The quesito was large and creamy, but a bit too sweet for me. The not so great: it's pricey I mean paying over $$$$ for a quesito is a crime. the specialty coffee is blah. I had the coquito latte and it was fine but did not taste anything like a coquito, there was not even a hint of coconut in sight. I love supporting anything associated with my homeland but as a coffee shop the flavors gotta be there. Hopefully they can sort this out.

Came here on a Saturday morning. Parking is extremely limited, so I had to park 2 blocks down to the east. There was no line when I ordered. I got the Coquito latte hot. It was very good! It came with a nice charming cup. There is plenty of seating - upstairs and downstairs, inside and out. However, when my friend arrived, the line was 10+ people long, and it took well over 20 minutes for her drink to be made. Their pastry options are also quite limited.

This place was super cute with the swings out on the front porch and the colorful murals but the coffee was extremely expensive for what I found to be merely a satisfactory coffee. I ordered the coquita latte which I was super excited about because I used to get lattes in PR with legit fresh coconut milk. This latte was basic latte with whatever milk you want (I ordered it with oat) and then pumps of coconut syrup. This drink was $9!!!! I have NEVER paid this much for coffee not even at my most favorite coffee shop in Houston when I add syrups, alternative milk, and decaffeinated coffee. The drink was okay imo. I barely tastes the coconut but I'm glad it wasn't overly sweet which tends to happen when you order any coffee drink with syrups. The service was very good. The cashier was very pleasant. My drink came out fairly fast considering the number of people in the establishment. The inside of the cafe was clean. The music upstairs was really loud so if you want to do a little bit of work here then bring some headphones if you think that will bother you. I really enjoyed the song mix but the sound level was just a tad too loud for me so I just put on my airpods and that dampened the sound enough. Also I only saw about 2-3 spots with outlets if you need that for your devices. Parking is extremely limited. Just fyi if you're not familiar with the area so you will likely have to park in the street. Overall, cool spot but I just can't spend that kind of money on a single coffee that's mid.

As a proud Puerto Rican, I was genuinely excited to see 787 Coffee open here in Houston. We absolutely love the ones back on the island, they truly capture the warmth, flavor, and soul of Puerto Rican coffee culture. Unfortunately, this new location completely missed the mark and doesn't reflect the magic of what you get at 787 in Puerto Rico. My husband and I both ordered the coquito lattes with oat milk, and they were so bland, nothing like coquito. I was honestly taken aback. We also ordered a chicken empanada, which was good, but for two small coffees and two pastries to total $30? That's wild, especially when you know that on the island, the quality is better and the prices are far more reasonable. I understand they've only been open for about three weeks, but this just isn't a good representation of the brand. The space itself is nice, roomy, and aesthetically pleasing, but the Latino flavor and authenticity are missing completely. It truly hurts to see something so special from home feel watered down here in the States. If you ever get the chance, please visit 787 Coffee in Puerto Rico it's amazing. Sadly, Houston didn't capture that same magic. Here's hoping they can turn it around....

I heard about 787 Coffee from my friends in PR and NYC. So when I seen that this Houston location was open I had to try it out. The ambiance at this place is amazing from the swings, wrap around porch, balcony and many sitting areas. It's a great place to work from or just chill and read a book. I ended up ordering the hot tres leche latte with oat milk and whiskey beans. My coffee was so yummy and I wish it came in a larger size. For all those complaining about the price. Have you been to a Starbucks lately?! With inflation, everything is high. I tried the chicken empanada as well and it was tasty. The service was good, but some staff members really should do some research on where they work. Your patrons shouldn't know more about the brand/company than you do. Just a thought! Parking wasn't bad to find a spot when I went, but it was during the day on a Wednesday. Overall I would come back and enjoy the yummy coffee and ambiance!!

I'm pretty disappointed to give this place such a low rating. The space is large and I love the many plants they have all around the shop. Parking was hard to find, but that's to be expected on a Sunday funday in Montrose. My total was nearly $40 for two coffees and a take home plastic container of sauce. The service was very slow and I was the only guest ordering. There was a lady server in and out but wasn't tending to guest. Must've been management or something. Anywho, I had to wait a long time for my cold coffee and the actual roast wasn't anything phenomenal as I was expecting. It's a cool spacious hang out if you're looking to get some work done, but I wouldn't make the drive from Galveston again just for coffee.

It honestly hurts me to give this place anything less than a five-star rating because I really do love my people, but I also have to keep it real. As someone born and raised in PR I am very familiar with these flavors. While I am not a regular coffee drinker, I know what good coffee and good flavor should taste like. I had seen the negative reviews but decided to wait assuming they would work out the kinks and finally visited on a Saturday morning. The place was completely empty at 9 am which honestly made me sad. We ordered an Americano and a coquito matcha. Unfortunately, the matcha was terrible. The coquito flavor was basically nonexistent and you could visibly see the matcha settled at the bottom of the pouch like it had not been mixed properly. The Americano was drinkable but watery and lacked that strong authentic Puerto Rican coffee flavor. This location definitely has some things to work out when it comes to their coffee and syrups but the potential is there!! Now for the positives...The space itself is huge, very cool, and the vibes are great. They were blasting old school reggaeton and honestly the place would make an amazing bar. I also want to note that I have visited other locations outside of Houston and they are great so I know as a business they are capable of doing this right. On top of that, I have tried their chicken empanada and banana bread and both were delicious...so I will definitely give them credit there.

Ugh I thought I found a new workspace but the music was wayyyyy too loud for that. At one point, everyone upstairs stopped and looked at each other because it seemed like it just was getting louder. Really cute space, homey feel, bright lighting and a lot of seating, indoor and outdoor (with fans). I enjoyed my matcha and they had a few different flavors I haven't seen before.

Great place to find a comfy spot to sit and work or catch up with a special someone. Street parking is available. It can get a little tight but was able to find a close by spot. Staff is friendly and helpful in making decisions for a drink choice. Unfortunately, I did not enjoy my coffee at all. It gave a burnt toast after taste. I hate sending drinks back so, I did not give them opportunity to fix it incase it was a fluke. Perhaps the shot died before they poured it. It also didn't have much taste for it to have been an horchata latte and it was pricey $8 and change. I hope to offer them another chance one day. Happy Yelping!!
