    Came for breakfast- ordered a biscuit w/crème fresh & jam, and the plancha cheese egg omelette- both were delicious. Parking lot out back with on duty security guard. My coffee was weaker than expected and not very hot. Hubby's latte was good but tasted funny not expecting the different taste. Service was good, clean dining area but dark interior.

    Coffee is always great. Love getting the Texas bourbon caramel latte and now the cold brew with the vanilla cloud. Food is delish. Tacos are a bit small if you're planning on sharing. Any pastry is great! Workers are super kind and chill. And it's usually pretty quiet and relaxed inside

    Great food and coffee. Atmosphere is cute and quiet. They have security guards outside

    Iced Matcha Latte

    When I visited for Sunday morning breakfast, the atmosphere was lively and representative of a classic local coffee shop for both conversations and work. I loved the interior decor, including the designs for the menu and seating by high-top, outdoors, and standard tableside. I ordered an iced matcha latte, which I enjoyed as it struck a balance between its sweetness and the natural matcha powder the staff used. The biscuit was also tasty, mainly for the apricot jam that came with my order. I felt it could've been flakier, as the bottom was also a bit harder than I would've liked. The prices run marginally higher compared to other Montrose coffee shops I visited in the neighborhood, so note that when ordering larger sit-down or brunch dishes. Overall, I had an enjoyable experience but would credit the atmosphere more than the food and drink itself.

    Blacksmith is an adorable little coffee shop in Montrose! I love their vanilla lattes and I also love their huge parking lot. Which is a major plus in downtown Houston! This is my go-to coffee shop for me and my friend when we get together. The service is fast and everyone is always so nice.

    Have always heard great things but we usually do breakfast and coffee at home. We popped in on a recent Saturday morning. The space is larger than I was expecting and had a nice merch selection upon entry. The woman behind the counter was friendly and helpful. My normal go to order is a bone dry cappuccino but I decided to try the competition cappuccino along with the yogurt and toasted granola. My husband got a drip coffee and the breakfast tacos. My cappuccino ended up being a little too sweet for me but I loved how it came with a side car espresso shot and my breakfast was a little heavy on the yogurt and light on granola. Overall this was a cute coffee shop but I find that I am happier in my own kitchen on a Saturday morning.

    Blacksmith has always been a favorite coffee spot of mine in the Montrose area. They have a designated parking lot which I appreciate, and also have a decent amount of table space to study or work if necessary. The coffee here is strong, and this was the first coffee shop that made me truly love a flat white. I will say that my flat white tasted just the teeeniest bit burnt at the beginning of the drink, but otherwise still a great drink. They do also offer food and breakfast options for those interested. Blacksmith remains one of my favorite spots to study and coffee sip here!

    Dill Scramble
    Presley B.

    Really really enjoyed this place. I got the dill scramble and subbed the bread for a croissant, it was delish! Staff was very nice about the substitution. They had a great coffee of the day as well. The have a surprisingly large parking lot for Westheimer. My friend and I worked in here for a bit after eating and enjoyed the ambiance.

    Finally a coffee shop and breakfast place that is serious about both the food and the beverages. Not your typical Houston brunch spot. We ordered the blacksmith plate, blacksmith bowl, pancakes, and sambal eggs. Everything was seasoned well. The drinks are high quality. Food arrived quickly. The only negative we noticed was when we wiped the table with a surface wipe (for our baby), black stuff came off the tables.

    Came in for Sunday brunch date and had a good time Dress code: casual Food: 5/5 I got their skirt steak bowl with an egg added and my partner got the smoked salmon dill scramble. Bowl was super flavorful with plenty of steak and a creamy egg on top. Salmon was delicious as well. Partner also got a cappuccino with oat milk which was beautiful and delicious. Service: 4/5 like most brunch places, order at counter, pick your seat and food is brought out to you. Took a bit for food to come out and almost had food cleared when both of us stepped away for a second but no major complaints Ambiance 4/5: fairly tight fit and some of the tables didn't seem dirty per se but not super clean either. Got pretty crowded as the place filled up and pretty loud. Value: 4/5 generally pretty good value on the food, likely would come back every once in a while to get the bowl again. Parking: parking lot, had plenty of spots when we got there but I imagine might be a bit harder to find spots as it gets busy.

    Great coffee, cozy vibes, and friendly baristas who make you feel welcome every time.

    Matcha latte with oat milk
    Delina G.

    Matcha was a bit bitter but not terrible. Ordered the blacksmith plate, biscuit was really good, definitely enjoyed the eggs, potatoes and sausage were standard. Place gets a lot of traction, you see a lot of people either coming in and out quickly or there to do work. Not really a fan of the food but think I may have just ordered the wrong stuff. Considering going back but not likely. Service was also fast but mid, nothing special.

    Cold brew with vanilla cloud, Matcha Sữa Đá, BLT Sandwich and a Scratch Square Biscuit.

    Cute stop while thrifting in Montrose. The coffee and matcha were great, food was fresh and satisfying, and the service was on point as well.

Thankfully, Mark was there and initially was told a 35 minute wait but seemed intent by quicker. Ambiance: 4/5 It was breakfast time so of course it was a busy time. For my visit, it was crowded but not to where you couldn't hear your table. Dress is casual, good for friends, solo, or pit stop. Service: 5/5 Our waitress was very knowledgeable and friendly. Since it was our first visit there, she gave us some background that it was a Pappa's owned restaurant and food is made from scratch. Food: 3/5 They offer mimosas and I was tempted to order, but was driving and it was 9AM so forewent that option. There are food options for every tastebud. Mark ordered the fried cheese sticks, they were one of the items that I found worthwhile to return for. I opted for the Waffle feast. It included a waffle, that I added pecans on top to, two strips of bacon, eggs your way and hash browns. To say that I needed to add salt and pepper to the eggs and hash browns because they tasted bland and flavorless was unfortunate. It also was served at room temperature, because it was made from scratch, would think it be warmer to hot. The waffle was savory and had good mix and topped with the pecans made it even better. If you're on this side of town and want a change up from the "other breakfast diners" DOT would be where I stop. Fast, friendly service. Depending the food you get, it gets the job done for some sustenance to hold you over when you're not sure when your next meal is because you'll be in Galveston for 7 hours riding a float in the Mardi Gras parade.

On the way to the hotel I…read moresaw the sign "Hot Biscuit" and since biscuits are one of my favorite foods, I decided to walk over and have dinner there. I wanted to start with one biscuit, but the biscuits come in pairs. The waitress said I could order just one anyway, but the order ended up being two. I meant to save the second one for breakfast, but that was not to be. It did not survive long enough to make it out the door. My actual meal was a bacon swiss and mushroom burger, which was excellent. Between the biscuits and the burger, I am forced to acknowledge that it was entirely too much food. Sadly, that did not prevent me from eating all of it anyway. Delicious! The restauant. which is a diner with very basic decor, is on an approach road to IAH, and is open 24/7. When I arrived in the evening, the place was empty. By the time I left, there were a whole bunch of customers. I noticed in other reviews that people were saying they did not receive checks for their meal and felt they were over-charged at the register. I did not receive a check either, but the amount I was charged at the register seemed accurate -- and I was paying attention because I had read the other reviews first.

I was catching up with my sister, we were there about 5 hours and the restaurant was empty. A mature-aged Asian woman came in, spotted the restroom door, and proceeded to it. The manager/owner (older man with balding hair) RAPIDLY went from the other side of the restaurant to intercept the woman right at the restroom entrance. He asked her what she needed, she told him to use the restroom, he then asked if she needed a table. When she replied "no", he stated that restrooms are for paying customers only. She was embarrassed, froze, said "Okay", and walked towards the exit. The guy saw my sister and I watching this unfold with screwfaces, so he tells the woman at the exit "Well go ahead and use it, you're already in here, I guess". While she was in the restroom he made a sign about their restroom stance and was taping it to the front door as the woman was exiting the building. We left immediately also. A business has the right to have such a ridiculous regulation, but this woman was dressed clean and came from a Lexus SUV. She wasn't homeless or some street prostitute that might be reckless in a public restroom. The idiot guy was petty, rude, inconsiderate, cold, and careless. I refuse to spend money at an establishment run by such a person.

They had live music on, and from the looks of it if you want to be a part of the show you can as they also have karaoke it looks like. The gentleman that greeted us was so nice and made us feel so welcomed! It wasn't one of those "oh I have to be nice to these guests because I'm getting paid" type people, you could really tell his niceness was genuine. I felt like I was at a fine dining restaurant. Our server was also very nice, and super helpful as I asked for a wine suggestion and she hit the nail with her suggestion. She brought a small sample for me to try before serving it. The food itself was delicious! We got the onion rings appetizer, and you could tell they were made to order. They were super fresh and also crispy. The chicken parmigiana was good, and they were not stingy with their portions at all. The picture I took doesn't do the dish justice.

We shared a bowl of the potato soup where we had no expectations and I thought it tasted pretty decent. But the real test was the entrees. Mr. Picky ordered the Fettuccine Alfredo with shrimp while I opted for Veal Parmigiana, and we each stole a bite from the other's plate. We reached consensus immediately that both dishes were well-seasoned and quite delicious, meaning we would return for more good food in the future. Seriously, we hadn't expected much when walking in and looking around, but were pleasantly surprised at the kitchen's efforts. We finished lunch with an order of homemade bread pudding and tiramisu, the latter of which in 2012 won a chamber of commerce epicurean competition 1st place ribbon. I wasn't there to judge that competition and have had better, but sincerely appreciated the moistness of the bread pudding. While the majority of diners were older and a more mature crowd, there's a lot to be said for value, and we thought the menu price was better than reasonable and I think a lot of people will discover this as a value destination, something we all appreciate.
