It's incredible when you think how these beans are roasted and then shipped halfway across the world in order to make it to your cup. We contacted Alex to set up a time to sample some pourovers. It was great to hear his heart and how he came to be at District. We were grateful for the stories of him partnering to empower roasters from Costa Rica, Salvador, and other places. Every type of roast has a story behind it. Not to mention that he is able to supply us ground beans at a good price. Also impressed with his service and care for us as customers. Please support our local District Roasters! They are amazing.

My wife and I cannot drink regular coffee by itself anymore because it affects our sleep and gives…read moreus headaches so weve switched to swiss water processed decaf. Given that weve had to give up so much in the coffee drinking experience we try and get what we do consume to taste as fresh as possible so weve turned to getting our decaf beans roasted locally. Weve tried a couple of places in Houston and just recently came across District Coffee. Once we checked their website and made sure it was swiss water processed and not bathed in paint stripper chemicals we decided to give them a try... the head roaster Alex is a humble guy who has a family operated business near the 249/Cypress area. I drove out to the District headquarters to pick up a pound of decaf and Alex gave me a tour around the facility which was modest, but professional. Before i left, Alex asked about the reason for decaf and i explained that we mix it with regular to create a half caff blend and with that he walked over to a bin in the shop and pulled out an additional bag of whole bean half caff blend of their signature roast and said it was "on the house" since i had come all the way out from the Sugar Land area. Wow. Now that was unexpected and also very nice considering gas costs near four bucks these days. We just had a pour over cup of that this morning and it was very, very smooth. If the regular whole bean decaf is anywhere close to the smoothness of this signature half caff roast we will most likely add District coffee to our regular rotation of coffees for our morning routine. Thanks Alex. Good luck to you and your family and we'll spread the word about your brand. Take care.

The variety fruit bowl was drizzled with delicious rich chocolate. The fruit was fresh and enough for sharing. The ice cream selection was plentiful for creamy. Their coffee is STRONG and so good. Enjoyed the ice pistachio latte. The ambience is bright and friendly. Out door seating is also available. Will note the parking lot can be tight but good turn over. There are plenty of tables inside in the center of the shop to sit and chat. Great place to hang out. Probably not to study unless its during a less peak time. I would recommend RR for a great stop of unique and delicious treats. Would recommend as a meet up spot with good company to enjoy desserts, drinks, and chill vibes.

Luce Ace Coffee takes their coffee very seriously! If you go to their W 34th location, you'll see…read morethe roasters, classroom space, etc. This is review is on the Richmond location which I visited recently. So my go to is the iced Island Latte. It's a latte with toasted coconut flavors and a hint of pandan which is popular in Vietnamese drinks. I absolutely love it and I find it difficult to try anything else because I just know it hits the spot every time. Now about the Richmond location: it's in the shopping strip across the street from Costco. The parking in front of the cafe can be limited so know that going in. This location is also pretty small, so a lot more to go orders than dining in. I met up with a friend there, found a table for two, and it was no problem. Staff are nice and ambience of the cafe is fine - nothing amazingly special. Drinks are fairly priced but can add up after tax and tip. One cool fact is, Luce Ave Coffee is popping up in various HEB grocery stores, so if you have one of those closer to your house and you need to pick up some grocery items anyway, you can get your coffee fix then. I highly recommend you try the Island Latte from Luce if you haven't done so yet!

Like a jelly donut, the interior is just as sweet as the exterior, likely sweeter. Trendy, natural light stained wood chairs coat the space. Tables and bar seating options are available in abundance, and when I visited Winnie the Pooh was paused on TV...which warrants bonus points in my book. I came for the avocado toast but ended up leaving with a roasted turkey sandwich, everything croissant and matcha...whoops. I stopped myself short of the vanilla cream croissant, but I'll definitely grab one next time. The roasted turkey sandwich (which comes with a side salad) was flavorful and savory but the standout was certainly the everything croissant. Seriously, everyone should carry an everything croissant! The flaky texture and buttery finish is unmatched. Although I would love a cream cheese drizzle or filling, I paired this baby with a little dill cheese at home and it was fire. Beyond that, the customer service was nothing short of perfection and for that alone I'll be back to try more. At this point I've made my way through maybe 5% of the menu...only 95% left to go .
