    Butter croissant and cappuccino
    Kristin J.

    I loved how cute the atmosphere was and the coffee was delicious! Service was good too. The only thing is the location can be a bit crowded in my opinion and the parking lot is very small which makes it harder to get your coffee and food quickly.

    Excellent coffee shop right off Taylor St and directly next to Stude Park. They're all about all things 'Active' - very runner and biker friendly. They've hosted running events in their back patio areas, and they have places for bikers to park their bikes. They are super friendly here, and there are plenty of regulars whom the staff know. As for the food and coffee... also very good!! I tried their Horchata and it is super tasty. If you like cinnamon/drinks with cinnamon, then you should definitely give this one a try. Their breakfast tacos are excellent as well and I got two because I couldn't decide on just one flavor.

    First time here and I was so impressed. Parking seems like it could get sketchy during busy times but we came on a Thursday for lunch after school had started and it was great. All the food was great including the biscuits. The restaurant itself is a great space and very inviting. Cute little game area that the kids really loved.

    A fellow Yelp Elite, said the experience starts before you taste the food...the customer service! I did not feel welcome. This was my first time and I expected more, however, I received a dry customer experience. I live nearby and finally had the chance to stop by for breakfast prior to work. The bacon and cheese taco was ok, the chipotle sauce was really good and definitely. Homemade. The rose vanilla matcha just did not hit! I only tasted the match and not the rose or vanilla. There is plenty of parking and the place is very clean and I love the colors. Very vibrant!!

    Nice clean coffee and breakfast/brunch spot definitely worth a try if you're in the area. They have ample indoor and outdoor seating and they were able to accommodate the large group I was a part of. They knew in advance and already had everything set up for the group before we arrived. They were so patient and accommodating the whole time for such a large group! I ordered the active passion bowl which was quinoa, kale, eggs, sweet, potato, and avocado. It was delicious! There was also a chipotle sauce that was on top as well. They had coarse salt on the kale which was a bit much but overall, I highly recommend this dish! I also had the honey lavender latte, which was delicious! They have a watermelon syrup house made that I wanted to try, but they said that it would be overpowered by the latte and I wouldn't be able to taste it. Maybe next time I'll have a drink with the watermelon syrup! They have a selection of iced drinks there that are a bit on the pricey side, but worth a try since they are so unique. Definitely a lot of positive vibes here! The only thing I would say is that the parking is kind of tight. Especially if you have a large group. But there was also street parking available so that helped.

    Matcha latte
    Cristina O.

    Great spot! The matcha was smooth and well made, and the blueberry muffin was fresh and delicious. Perfect combo--will definitely be back.

    Pumpkin spice iced latte
    Michelle B.

    Stumbled upon this place & SO GLAD I did. The staff was sweet, place was clean, and food was deliciously fresh. The iced pumpkin latte was just a little sweet & made with in-house puree. And the Active Breakfast Bowl will make me want to drive the 45 minutes here to eat this all the time! SOOOO GOOD!! 10/10

    Outdoor patio area with shade

    Good coffee and good food, in a casual and open environment? Sign me up. The barista was so helpful, as she asked whether it was my first time here. Knowing that I wanted to get their staple item on the menu, she recommended the most popular entrees first. However, I told her that I was wanting to get something out of the ordinary that I couldn't really just do on my own, and something unique that I couldn't really find anywhere else. And so she immediately recommended the Kimchi grilled cheese with one fried egg. That was a combination I've never even dreamed of before, but I was intrigued. The sharpness of the cheddar really complimented the taste/texture of the kimchi. And the sourdough added a complexity to it. Add the fried egg and I'm like, give me more. She also explained some of the latte options, but I opted for the flat white - which was really solid. There are plenty of seats inside and outside, including some comfy seats right around the corner in a library like setting. I opted for one of the tables but also sat out in the backyard patio. Lots of wall for chalk art for littles, while there are really nice shady places to sit and relax. Only thing is that there were no more parking in the immediate lot so ended up parking on the street. Overall a great place to study, sip coffee and eat some unique food!!

    Black sesame latte with oat milk
    Olivia S.

    Adorable coffee shop with delicious food and drink. Loved the smashed avocado bagel (I added a fried egg - you should, too) albeit a little messy to eat. I went with one of their recommended drinks, the black sesame latte, which was super tasty with oat milk. Will be back to try more menu items!

    Active Passion Coffee is such a gem in Houston! I came on a day when they had a halal menu and couldn't resist--I got everything along with a few drinks, and everything was absolutely delicious. The cookie butter iced latte was next level, easily one of the best I've had. Service was warm and friendly, and you can tell they really care about their customers. Inside there are only a few spots, but the huge backyard and patio make it perfect for relaxing with friends or just enjoying the outdoors. Definitely a place I'll keep coming back to!

    THIS IS THE BEST CORTADO I'VE EVER HAD…read more Day 6 has been on my list for quite some. Upon arrival, I was met with excellent music and a warm greeting. Once I reached the counter, the gentleman helped me with selecting a coffee and even answered a few clarifying questions I had about ingredients. I got 2 cortados (I drank the first one so fast that I needed another one), a vanilla latte (sweet but balanced), and two croissants (almond and chocolate). My friends got a cheesecake latte (cupcake dominant and didn't have enough cookie butter flavoring), a white mocha hot chocolate (pretty good), and a blueberry muffin (amazingly soft, flavorful, and balanced). All together, I'll be coming back much more often!!!

    I really wanted to give this place 5 out of 5 stars, but here's my honest experience…read more The service was excellent, everyone was friendly and welcoming, so that's an easy 5/5. I also tried one of their muffins, and it was absolutely delicious. Another 5/5! The only thing that disappointed me was the coffee. I asked the barista for a recommendation and specifically mentioned that I wanted a coffee that wasn't too sweet. She recommended a drink, and I trusted her suggestion. Unfortunately, when I tried it, it was much sweeter than I was expecting. I understand recommendations are subjective, so I don't blame anyone,it just wasn't what I was looking for. Because of that, I'd give the coffee 1/5. It simply wasn't to my taste. Overall, the great service and delicious muffin were definite highlights, but the coffee experience brought my overall rating down to 3/5.

Unfortunately, I left incredibly disappointed!!! While sitting inside, I saw a man who appeared to be experiencing homelessness politely ask a customer outside if they would buy him something to eat because he was hungry. The customer said no, and the man walked away. I didn't witness any harassment or confrontation. I decided to offer to buy him something myself. He said yes, so I went inside and ordered him a croissant and water. The employee at the register initially told me they weren't supposed to sell food if it was being purchased for someone experiencing homelessness. After I explained that I had already offered, she agreed to process the purchase "this time." After I gave him the food, the owner Frédérick Fortin approached me. He told me that this man had been coming around for several days and was "harassing customers" by asking them for food. He explained that it was frustrating from a business perspective because customers come and go and when they do this he is left to deal with the situation!!!! I told him I understood his concern, but what I personally witnessed was someone politely asking one person for food, being told no, and walking away. I made my own choice to help him. What I found most upsetting was being made to feel that I had done something wrong by purchasing something with my own money and choosing to give it to someone else. Once I purchase something, I should be able to decide what I do with it! I also explained that I had come to this shop because it was highly recommended to me. When I expressed my disappointment, the owner's response was essentially that if I didn't like his business, I didn't have to be there. So I left!!! I believe businesses can have boundaries while still treating people with empathy, respect, and kindness. Those are values I personally choose to support, and a business that doesn't reflect them is a business I'm not interested in supporting! Deff not coming back!!!

A couple of friends and I wandered in early on a Sunday for breakfast/brunch. I ordered the scrambled‑egg and turkey‑bacon tacos with a flat white, one friend had the chilaquiles (he thought they could've used a bit more flavor and some avocado), and my other friend went for the French toast with an iced coffee. We had a great conversation over a delicious meal and solid coffee, and the steady stream of adorable dogs around us was the perfect bonus. I'd read some reviews complaining about the service, but ours was totally fine--especially for an early Sunday morning.

I love that Tout Suite makes several tasty vegan baked goods along with their full selection of regular treats which can be hard to find in Houston (their vegan brookie - brownie/cookie - is my favorite). Outside of baked goods, Tout Suite has a large selection of breakfast items, soups, sandwiches, bowls, and appetizers with several gluten free, vegetarian and vegan options. This location has a fairly spacious interior to sit and work or enjoy a bite to eat and is just a block off of the MetroRail red line (Bell Station stop). They also have rotating daily specials and half off of cocktails every day after 5pm for happy hour ($4 espresso martini, yes please!) Ok, sounds great, right? Since I used to frequent their EaDo location quite a bit, I have several gift cards that I have collected over the years. These were purchased online on their website however when I tried to use them at this location, they said that I could not. They have three locations under their brand - Tout Suite (the former EaDo and Trebly) and Sweet, however apparently each has a separate payment system from Square to Toast, etc and they do not overlap. The gentleman behind the counter did offer to make me a complementary beverage for the inconvenience but this was definitely disappointing. I recall specifically that there was not an option to select the location when purchasing the gift cards online.

Anyway, I finally got a chance to stop by on a Sunday late morning recently. Parking can be difficult, but there are dedicated Koffeteria spots in front of the business as well as surrounding paid curbside parking. I believe Instagram helped many others discover this business recently, as it was pretty packed and there was a line, but this gave us ample opportunity to peruse the menu and pastry display. Ultimately, we opted for the: Cambodian iced coffee (kayfe dahkoh) made with sweetened condensed milk and evaporated milk - tasted very similar but weaker than Vietnamese coffee. As I'm Viet and have never had Cambodian coffee, this was my only frame of reference, and I didn't love it. I'm excited to try more Cambodian coffees to get a better understanding of their unique flavor profile! Black sesame mochi - sweet and perfectly sesame flavored with salted yolk at the bottom, delicious, my partner's favorite pastry Beef pho kolache - the bun was so soft and complemented the soft but flavorful brisket meat. wow. truly a brisket pho in a kolache. We got extremely lucky and got a table almost immediately after ordering, as someone left just in time. The interior is full of vintage furniture, which added so much character. As a vintage lover, I felt so at home! I could see how others might prefer a more neat, chic interior, but to me this was absolutely perfect and added so much warmth, homeliness, and character to the shop.
