Came here on a weekday evening, I was craving coffee after my grocery stop so decided to give this place a try. I'm a true coffee enthusiast so with that being said I ordered a flat white and I personally wished I had more of that expression flavor. We also ordered an Americano which was great. It would be nice if they offered sizes for to go orders nonetheless, this place was clean and big, with plenty of seating. The service was quick and friendly. I would definitely come back if I needed a place to sit and sip my drink. There is plenty of parking, you can access through the parking garage or parking at the front of business.

Coffee shop connected to the Heb on Washington. Its kind of inconspicuous. But it's a very spacious coffee shop with a unique menu. I ordered a strawberry match which I say looks a lot better than it taste. One, you definitely have to stir or shake it up before you drink it. Buttt even after doing thst it's kind of lack luster of a drink. They have plenty of options to choose from so I do plan to go back abd further explore their menu. But my drink was mid. The barista was nice and helpful explaining some of the flavors on the menu. Parking is tough because it shares the parking lot with my fave HEB.

Disclaimer: I'm on a hunt for the best cafe to work from as I'm working remote. My review is based on factors for a good place to work from and not necessarily the coffee or food. Overall Good cafe for work. Noise level - 60db quiet conversation Wifi speed - 55 down 57 up Power plugs - 10 but limited to some seats Seats - 40 indoors Parking - free, plenty on street and HEB The service was good. The coffee was ready within 10 minutes during a busy morning. Coffee was okay. Plus points for being next to HEB.

I am always searching for a good hot latte. While making a pit stop traveling back to Hutto from Galveston, I promised my girlfriend we would have coffee time and get drinks. Blue Tile Coffee was across the street from Truth Barbecue, and thanks to my peers on Yelp, it looked to be a safe bet in the area we were in. Inside, it was a really cute space. Plenty of windows and natural light, and their bar was beautiful with its letter board menu, wooden decor, and square wrap-around space. I don't know what espresso machine they use, but it looked super slick. There was a family in front of us, but it was only a few minutes before our beverages were ready. I was busy digging through the baseball cards and Pokémon cards they had for grabs. I ordered a hot lavender oat milk latte while my girlfriend ordered a shaken brown sugar espresso. My drink was pretty good, and hers tasted even better. As we waited by their coffee bar, we admired their blue tile sign of their name, which was super stylish. We then headed on our way as our espresso drinks gave us the boost we needed for the drive home.

Friend recommended visit during the Houston Marathon. Traffic to get around was challenging, but once we got inside, the space is clean and they have a variety of offerings. This experience I would consider a one off because of streets being closed and the crowds during the marathon, but I opted for their chai latte. Nothing extremely notable other than it had good flavor and a good way to combat the freezing weather. Only one barista was available at the time and did her best to take orders and prepare them. While I understood the delay, I saw others that arrived after me get their drinks before me and that's when I went to inquire about my latte. Aside from that a nice choice to check out if you're in the area.

Excellent oat milk latte. Service was quick. I got my drink to go but it looked like a great place to sit and work for a while! Note- Parking is tough here given that it is attached H‑E‑B.

After an initially hyped opening with plenty of buzz (#1), Blue Tile Coffee was supposed to be the anti-IG coffee establishment with a future of high quality pastries, tacos, and craft beer. Located right next to an HEB in the Heights, it been a spot to get a little work done, a coffee date spot, and occasional meeting destination ... before a serious grocery run. The minimal interior has worked well for them. Plenty of natural lighting, comfortable seating, and being in a central location has played a big part in their success. I appreciate their Wi-Fi, clean bathrooms, and extensive outdoor seating. Service has been great on some days and lukewarm on many others. I've had a good number of drinks here and there have been some standouts as well as some low lights. The cafe au lait and nitro cold brew have been the most consistently solid, with the latter not served over ice, unlike the regular cold brew. Their Vietnamese iced coffee hasn't been my favorite and even feels a bit overpriced at $6. Another miss has been their iced matcha latte, which feels a bit watered down at times. Food is a lot more limited than I would have hoped, but in the past the pastries have reigned supreme, while the breakfast tacos leave much to be desired at $4.50 each. I had high hopes for the latter, but there hasn't been a lot of movement here. If not for the ambiance, I do think that there isn't much to help distinguish them from other major coffee-based establishments but I'm hopeful they find their ways here. For now it'll be Wi-Fi and the occasional drink. ___________ (#1) Not just the coffee kind.

Strawberry cream Matcha
Akshar P.

A cozy coffee shop tucked right next to H-E-B -- truly a dream spot! They offer a well-curated menu with rotating seasonal drinks, and there's plenty of seating both indoors and outdoors to suit your vibe. I've sampled a few of their seasonal lattes and matcha drinks. The Lavender Honey Latte is a solid choice if you're unsure what to try -- it's balanced and subtly sweet. However, the matcha drinks could use a bit of fine-tuning. The preparation seems more freehand, with water dispensed straight from the coffee machine into a bowl, without using a scale -- which may affect consistency. I tried the Strawberry Cream Matcha, and while it's creamy, the flavor leaned heavily toward the strawberry purée from monin bottle with just a whisper of matcha. It didn't quite deliver on the layered taste the name suggests. Also worth noting: outlets are limited, so if you're planning to work or study for a while, that's something to keep in mind. All in all, it's a charming spot worth checking out -- who knows, you might end up loving the drinks that didn't quite hit the mark for me!

Chocolate Covered Strawberry Iced Latte
Jonisha T.

I have been making coffee at home for a while now to save money, but I decided to treat myself this weekend to a couple of specialty drinks to mix things up. Saturdays caffeine choice was a strawberries and crème Matcha. And today I got a chocolate covered strawberry latte. Both of these drinks come iced and I was able to get coconut milk as an alternative. Both drinks were so good! I loved the ratio of strawberry to matcha. Some places just don't get it right, but Blue tile did. I also enjoyed the chocolate covered strawberry drink. It was a nice pick me up this morning. The service is always great. The baristas are friendly and laid back. The ambiance is always chill with music playing and patrons working or studying. Blue tile is a fave for sure. If you get there early enough you can snag delicious empanadas or baked goods.

Iced Matcha Latte with Lavender and oat milk.

The matcha was so delicious! I got lavender added in mine and it was sweet but the sweetness was not overbearing. I will definitely be back! The service was very fast I was in and out in about 5 minutes.

Day 6 Coffee Co. - Houston, TX…read more Great coffee, good company, and an atmosphere that makes you want to stay awhile! After a busy weekend in Houston, we were in desperate need of some GOOD coffee, and Day 6 Coffee Co. absolutely delivered! Between the much-needed espresso, delicious chai tea, and refreshing frappé, we each found something to enjoy! And of course, we couldn't resist a little something to eat. The warm, flaky pastry was a delicious addition! Now, let's talk about the atmosphere! Exposed brick walls, cozy seating, beautiful décor, and a relaxed, welcoming vibe make this place so much more than your average coffee shop. It's the kind of spot where you can sit back, enjoy a conversation, and forget about the hustle and bustle outside. The staff was wonderful, the space was comfortable and tastefully decorated, and the entire experience was just what we needed! BONUS: Parking was FREE on Sunday! And anyone who has spent time in downtown Houston knows what a treat that is! Whether you're meeting friends, enjoying a little family time, or simply needing your caffeine fix, Day 6 Coffee Co. is definitely worth stopping by! Five stars from this Texas girl! We'll be back!

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!!!

It was full of flavor and paired with a Creole piperade that sat between the salmon and added so much depth to every bite. There were also these tiny tomatoes that honestly looked like little red chocolate chips! They were such a cute and unexpected detail, and the entire plate was beautifully presented. What impressed me most was how much flavor was packed into everything. Nothing about the dish felt basic or like an afterthought. The different flavors and textures worked so well together, and I enjoyed every bite of that salmon. The service made the experience even better. My waiter, Nay, was an absolute sweetheart and provided some of the kindest service I've received in a while. Having a server who is genuinely warm, attentive, and welcoming can completely elevate a dining experience, and Nay did exactly that. The atmosphere was also great, friendly, comfortable, and inviting. Between the delicious drink, flavorful salmon, beautiful presentation, and exceptional service from Nay, I left extremely satisfied. This was one of those dining experiences where everything came together perfectly, and I would absolutely return!

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.

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. It probably helps to be patient if they're short‑staffed, but we had no issues at all.

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. Absolutely love this coffee shop and will 100% be back to try more pastries and coffees. Immediately, this has become a new Houston favorite!

I asked for an item that I can eat now, an item that I can snack on later, and a sweet treat. They recommended the guava cheese danish for now, cause it won't travel well. They recommended the Earl Gray Sweet Bun for later. And then they recommended the double chocolate chip cookie. Everything was fantastic. The guava danish was absolutely delightful. The Earl Gray bun was also great when I had it later in the day.
