I've been meaning to try Coffee House for a while! Parking is questionable since it's always…read morepacked, and the space is tight, but granted, this is downtown Houston. My drink was alright, and didn't stand out from any other coffee shops I've tried (it was the West End latte). What was unique about the drink was its alcohol content, but fortunately, it wasn't a prominent taste; nonetheless, it felt a bit gimmicky and didn't add much. One thing I GOTTA rave about is that this is a four-story coffee shop, with a patio with a gorgeous view at the very top! You don't see that often in Houston. My friend and I still struggled to find seating... but honestly, Coffee House's use of space makes up for it. I don't think I'd return for the drinks, but they definitely did a great job of creating such a cozy work environment. :)

They do offer a variety of syrups and cold foams. Theres plenty of parking but not many outlets if you wanna work here.

I had no idea this place existed. I actually found it the way I find most new spots, by typing…read more"coffee" into the Maps search bar and checking what is nearby. I am so glad it led me here. I had not been to Jun before, so when I pulled up and did not see "Third Place" on the building I was a little confused. They have a small sign out front, and I learned they repurpose the space in the mornings and during the day as a coffee shop. I love that concept. They also host food pop ups and feature different chefs. When we went last week they had a Szechuan pop up. We were there around 9 am so it was too early to try the food, but after reading reviews I definitely want to come back for it. We ordered an iced vanilla matcha and a hot latte, and both were amazing. The space has so much natural light and a really relaxing vibe. Even the cups and mugs are are so cute!! We ended up staying for a while, just talking and playing cards. I will absolutely be back!!

The lines move quickly for ordering and they will call out your drink when ready. Wait time can be longer when it's super crowded. Staff is always friendly. There are a few spots to sit at but it's typically filled up and can be a bit loud inside. Not ideal for working or studying. There's also outdoor seatings in the shade. For the most part, quality is pretty consistent across all the locations I've been to. My favorite drink is the matcha strawberry. Not too sweet and portion is decent for the price.

I met a friend here for breakfast and was pleasantly surprised…read more I had a breakfast biscuit sandwich and decided to skip the meat--it was very filling without! It was served with a side of raspberry jam that complemented the sandwich very well for a sweet and savory combination. The scrambled eggs were more flavorful than probably any scrambled eggs I've ever had at a restaurant. I also ordered the horchata with a shot of espresso, as I heard that was pretty popular, but it was just okay. It wasn't too packed at 9:30 on a Saturday, and the outside seating was really pleasant. I would definitely come back.

I asked a question and the girl responded to me without turning around or making eye contact - gave me the impression she was annoyed that I was asking a question. There were only two baristas working on a Saturday morning so perhaps they were stressed because it was busy. Coffee was delicious and served with a small chocolate mint. They also serve beer. Variety of pastries. Small parking lot that fills up quickly! There was a line of people outside waiting to get in a few minutes before they opened. They don't open until 9 am which is late for a coffee shop. Highly recommend if you're looking for a cute destination for a casual date or out with a friend.

I love the upper level deck and snagging a cute table overlooking a window. It's definitely a 'one size fits all' that is great for morning work/studying, light afternoon catch up, or a cozy late night vibe. Traditionally, I've seen a lot of people studying during the week while a bit more of a lively feel on weekend evenings. People are very polite but do follow the courtesy of waiting to find a table until after they order, since it can get a little busy. Overall, they are quick with coffee orders with a variety of pastries. Parking is difficult (but it is Montrose!), so anticipate adding a little time to your drive to find a spot. Worth checking out!

This place could be amazing…read more 1. The pricing is good value and the coffee is good. Here's the improvements. 1. Don't assume everyone is a regular. I recently moved to Houston so saw this and thought to check them out. By not asking if ive been here before they messed up. 1st, no one told me the food comes with a complimentary banana. Not on the menu. No signs. Nothing. I'm allergic. They had to remake my food which is a waste for them too and embarrassing for me. 2. Comes with toast. Great. Amazing. Thanks. Again. Not asked what bread I wanted, did I want jam and butter. 3. No water given. No water stations. No jugs. Nothing. 4. Dirty tables not cleaned quickly. If they did the simple things right id give them 5 out of 5. The food is excellent. Ill be back and next time ill specifically say please no banana and please sourdough toast.

Dunno why I haven't made this an annual order, but the pistachio cake still-as the kids say-slaps. It's light, not too sweet, and has a lot of pistachio and pistachio flavor.

Perhaps it was our batch but I don't remember the cake layers being so thin and sparse.

Boomtown is always a reliable stop whenever I'm in the Heights, whether I am shopping nearby or…read morejust passing through. The place has a no frills coffee shop vibe that feels relaxed and focused on good coffee without trying too hard. They offer a wide variety of drinks and the visuals and descriptions make it easy to see exactly what you are getting and how each drink is made. I ordered a shakerato, which I think is my usual here, and it was light, smooth, and the perfect pick me up. My friends grabbed a few pastries and absolutely devoured them, so I guess I need to try the food options next time. Everything just feels straightforward and easy, which is part of why I keep coming back. I always catch myself eyeing the bags of coffee on the way in. They make great gifts or a nice at home treat, especially this time of year. Honestly, I should have grabbed one on the way out but I got distratced by conversation.

My beloved Boomtown RIP…read more This pains me to write. Different is certainly not always better, especially when what you had was already working. I much prefer the saying if it ain't broke don't fix it. To the people who bought this place, I know your motto is "different is better," but please stop taking that so literally. You do not have to change every aspect of this place to make it different. The best thing about getting your everyday local coffee is seeing the same baristas you've seen over and over again, familiar faces who know you by name. This was one of those places where I'd hate to admit how much money I've spent here, and I did it happily. In just three weeks, our beloved spot, one I would willingly drive out of my way for, has gone so far downhill that I barely recognize it. From the eyesore taco warmer that practically knocks you in the face while you're ordering, replacing a space that once showcased lovely things like fresh flowers and local trinkets, to the disappearance of the wonderful local treats from Sinfull Bakery that kids genuinely enjoyed. At first I thought maybe you were just out, but after three weeks it became clear that expenses were being cut across the board and those items may never come back. And where do I even begin. The new oat milk is terrible. It completely changes the look and taste of the coffee and is immediately noticeable. I won't harp on the change of hours or the change in flavor of your coffee beans, but I feel it must be mentioned because, well, it's noticeable. And now the cleanliness. Spilled taco sauce all over the floor, and when your kid points it out, you know you're in trouble at that point. Dishes piled so high they're overflowing, dirty restrooms. And to be clear, this isn't the staff's fault, there is simply not enough staff to keep up with these things. Never ever in seven years of being a frequent visitor has it been this bad. I also noticed the new coffee packaging, and it's just another reminder that the heart and thoughtfulness that once defined this place are gone. At this rate I half expect robots handing me my latte in a few weeks so you can save a few more bucks. And getting rid of Toast. Even if Toast was an expensive platform to use, it was legitimately so convenient. And dang, if you're going to do away with it, don't replace it with the worst possible ordering system ever, one that doesn't even work. Do you know how many orders I wouldn't have placed if it weren't for Toast? Toast made those orders possible when I didn't have time to wait. Without it, I simply wouldn't have ordered. I understand times are tough for many businesses, but you all were booming. The new online ordering system doesn't work. You may as well do away with it altogether because this one just isn't it. Honestly, I am devastated. You knocked it out of the park in every area, cleanliness, service, food. I never had a single bad item on the menu. The coffee was beyond. When my family moved out of the city a year and a half ago, I still drove 35 minutes one way just to get your food and coffee, over an hour round trip again and again. I don't think you understand how this new direction has driven this place into the ground in a matter of three weeks. Sadly all good things must come to an end.

This is a pretty good bakery for Houston!…read more I tried four things: a seasonal tart with pistachio, figs, oranges, a bombolini with cannoli filling, a braid with cranberries and candied orange, and a Nutella topped item (don't remember the name since I didn't pick it lol). The tart and braid were my favorites! The candied orange has such a nice sweetness, whereas the pistachio on the tart was smooth and had that delicious almond flavor. The bomboloni was so good, but I think maybe I am just used to the crunch of cannoli with a creamy ricotta filling. The Nutella item was fine, it just wasn't my style of pastry. I'm not sure what the norm is, but it was frigid inside. I would've loved to see some tables outside and thaw out, but they didn't have any outside seating. Additionally, maybe I am so used to American coffee shops, but a syrup for lattes would've been a nice touch as well. Those are my only constructive suggestions... in general, I enjoyed what they have to offer and would come back.
