The interior is very cozy and community-centered, just like its mission. The furniture is very antique-like and there are couches, high chairs by the window, and small square tables. It would be really great for a study spot! The coffee menu has a good amount of specialty drinks. I got the pistachio latte, which is ground pistachio with cardamom, and I got it with vanilla syrup. Every first Tuesday of the month (don't quote me on this, check their instagram!) they have free drinks covered by Frost Bank, which is very nice. Lines can get long though so come quick, right at 8! read more

Doshi House is a popular coffee shop and cafe located on Emancipation Ave. I finally got the chance to stop by in the morning for a coffee before work and was surprised to find it almost completely full, many of the customers being students. Not quite sure what to expect, I was pleased to see that it's completely plant-based including the pastries and no extra plus charge for alternative milks (praise!) I ended up ordering their pistachio latte which had a really rich, bold espresso note and a sweet cardamom finish at the bottom of the cup. I would definitely get this again but might try to stir it before drinking for a more even flavor distribution. In terms of the setting, there's lots of small tables and couches to work and study with either a small group or alone. They also have a back patio with additional seating, board games, and even a printer which can be hard to find in this day and age. Overall the vibe is relaxed and casual. Finally, while I had to wait about 30 minutes to order and receive my drink, I had some time to watch their workflow and would offer some suggestions for improvement to speed up their service. The staff all clearly put a lot of care into preparing each drink and were doing the best they could to move quickly, but the layout of the back counter area is fairly inefficient. To start, the ice well for cold drinks is on the complete opposite side of the register away from their espresso machines. This added a lot of steps for the staff to prepare iced coffee drinks. Secondly, the straws were also quite a reach for the staff across the counter, also by the ice well. Finally, the order retrieval process is not the best. There are no names written on the cups and customers are sometimes in the bathroom or outside on the back patio when their order is ready. It can be hard for the staff to locate the right customer or if the drink gets left on the counter, it's hard to know what it is and who it is for. Overall, a pleasant (plant-based!) discovery but hoping they might consider a few steps (pun intended) to reduce the strain on their staff. read more

Doshi House - Patio - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Houston, Texas

Food was all right. I think overall it's okay. Food basically tastes like it's made by non-Asians.

Service was great! Everyone was really friendly and made our order quickly. Coffee flavors were unique and I would come back to try their many different teas. Seems like a good place to study since there was no background music playing, but also had a relaxed feel good for conversation. It is a vegan restaurant so they have milk alternatives like oat, almond, and soy. read more

Doshi House - Blueberry special - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Houston, Texas

I remember when Doshi House first opened back when I was in undergrad. So shoutout to them for longevity. Parking is still a challenge here. Its limited and mostly unsaved. The inside has ample seating and there is am outdoor covered seating area if you can tolerate the heat. I arrived right at 8am when theh opened so I was happy that they were actually ready ti take my order immediately. I ordered the potato and egg taco with a corn tortilla. Omg was it tiny but tasty! I didn't know what to expect but it was a flavor explosion of taste in my mouth! Soo good it was heavy on the chimmichuri, spice and flavor perfection. I do wish it were bigger though. Its definitely street taco size. I also ordered a regular latte with oat milk. And yes it was excellent too! The espresso to oatmilk ratio was perfection! I love that this place is plant based so all the choices are likely vegan! This place gives very chile vibes and provides a great place to study or get some work done. They also highlight local artist and businesses. read more

This place was such a fun find! It's a plant based coffee shop with calm vibes inside. We wandered in for a morning breakfast and were not disappointed. We got a gingersnap chai (SO GOOD), a mumbai sandwich, and a kbbq taco. The food was pretty good, I'm not sure what flavor profile I expected w the kbbq taco but nonetheless it tasted good! The coffeeshop itself is quite calm inside, the employees have a fun vibe, and it seems like such a good place to cowork. They were all sold out of the pastries but I'm excited to go back earlier in the morning one day try them. I do wish they had a larger stock though. read more

Doshi House - Kbbq Taco Mumbai Masala Sandwich Gingersnap Chai - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Houston, Texas

Super cute place here in 3rd ward! I got a Doshi Signature Latte, the pistachio latte. As you can see, I spilled it before trying it, and the barista was really nice about it and remade my drink. The coffee was pretty good, however a bit too creamy for me since I had to get oat milk (they offer vegan options only and were out of almond). I'm a whole milk girl through and through, so if you don't really like the textures or tastes of milk alternatives, don't come here. read more

I've finally found a coffee shop that has offers consistently good coffee and great customer service. I've visited several times and everyone is extremely friendly and inviting. My favorite drink is a Cortado with oat milk the espresso reminds me or raw cacao beans it's really intense and I love it. I'm not much of a latte person because I enjoy tasting my espresso. With that being said I do like the chai latte. They offer various baked goods that rotate so you can discover new things but my vice is the salt rosemary focaccia! I love the outdoor area the coffee shop itself is just inviting. 10/10 recommends a visit to Doshi house read more

I used to come here all the time back in 2015-2016, and then I moved to Austin and forgot about this place when I moved back! A friend suggested it recently and I was so excited to try it out. I remember loving this place! A lot has changed, it's more spacious than I recall, and the menu is now entirely plant based, I do remember it was very vegetarian friendly but if I recall correctly before they did serve regular whole milk, so it was a bit of a change. I don't mind plant based at all- but my fave plant based milks are coconut or pistachio milk. Almond/ soy/ oat are just too watery and I don't like the taste. For a place that's plant based they didn't have much in the way of options, my friend ordered before me and has the almond milk London Fog, and when I went to order they had ran out of almond milk. It was 10:30am on a Saturday so a bit early to run out. They only had soy to offer me, no thanks. I went with their water based hibiscus drink instead. They had a special of the day which was a three bean chili, served with focaccia. My friend and I both ordered a serving each. When it came out, it was not served with the bread. My friend and I were chatting away and thought it's fine we'll wait as we were catching up anyways. Well after about 15 minutes she went and asked for the bread, and was told oh whoops, okay let us get that for you. It took another 15 minutes to get her bread, so 30 minutes after it was served and her chili was cold. Meanwhile, I was still waiting for my serving. I finally asked and the main barista mentioned she noticed I hadn't received my food and that she's asked in the kitchen and apparently they've also ran out of chili. I do understand these things happen, it was pretty appalling that they chose to do nothing about it until I had to ask after my food and the delay. They offered my alternatives, and given that wait and delay, I wasn't willing to risk it. I had a hard stop, so I asked for a refund which they granted promptly. I don't understand how or why their service was so poor, it's not like they're new, and again it was so early in the day to be running out of food and milk. I don't think I'll be coming back which is disappointing given the fond memories I had of this place. read more

We were in Houston for a relaxing vacation and had this coffee shop on our list ahead of time since we're vegan and wanted a solid spot for coffee and a light breakfast. We ended up going twice--and both visits were great. The staff was friendly and welcoming, and the coffee and food were spot-on. My wife had the hot pistachio latte (with a perfect little swan on top), and I had it iced--both were creamy, flavorful, and beautifully balanced. She ordered the Mumbai Sandwich, which the staff described as a deconstructed samosa--it didn't disappoint. Incredible flavor that kept you coming back for another bite. I went for the BBQ Korean taco, and it was so good I ordered a second one the next day. With so many vegan spots in Houston closing lately, this locally owned gem deserves all the support it can get. Here's hoping they're around for another 12 years! read more

From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere feels welcoming and creative -- cozy seating, eclectic art, and a vibe that makes you want to linger with a good book or a friend. The coffee is consistently excellent, with rich flavors and thoughtful preparation. I especially love their lattes (perfectly balanced, not too sweet), and the chai is a must-try if you're looking for something comforting. What sets Doshi House apart is the community feel. The staff are genuinely kind and attentive, and you can tell they care about creating a space that's more than just a coffee shop. It's a hub for conversation, relaxation, and inspiration. The food menu is another highlight -- fresh, plant-forward options that are both delicious and nourishing. Whether you're grabbing breakfast tacos or one of their curated smoothies, everything tastes homemade and crafted with care. If you're near midtown, third ward or the university area of Houston and want a spot that blends great coffee, good food, and a welcoming atmosphere, Doshi House should be at the top of your list. read more

This small place is amazing. Quite quaint the service from the staff is phenomenal. And do not sleep on the food.. the potato and egg breakfast taco and it's red roasted potatoes with two green sauce. I believe one of them might be a chimichurri the other one I don't know, but delicious fresh flour, tortilla, or corn of your choice. Will, we ordered the staff told us he had some fresh roasted potatoes coming out in like 10 minutes. If you wanted to wait I waited. I'm glad I did made the taco even better to drink. We both had a pistachio latte with oat milk again just agreed taste great flavor or surely be going back at least every two weeks. I'm not a coffee drinker so I have to space it out but delicious. read more

They also sell to-go coffee tins and freshly brewed chai. Definitely recommend stopping by here if youre in the area! read more

5/5 Jackfruit Chick'n 3/5 Korean BBQ I have heard a lot about this vegetarian friendly coffee shop and finally got the chance to check it out! I got 2 tacos on my visit and the jackfruit chick'n was a big surprise! It was flavorful and tender. However, the korean BBQ taco left me a little disappointed. While it was still flavorful, it tasted overly salty to me, which is a common challenge of imitating meat dishes not unique to here. Also the pistachio latte here is also delicious! There is plenty of indoor seating but also a HUGE outdoor patio that I can't wait to check out in the fall. read more

Doshi House - Updated menu and prices as of June 2024 - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Houston, Texas

Doshi House is a quaint coffee shop located in third ward district of Houston. Parking is not too bad with a couple gravel spots in the front. The interior and ambiance is very cozy. This is a coffee shop where I can see plenty of college students studying or people working remotely. It feels like there's a lot of decor/things going on at once but it fits together and is cohesive. The service was nice overall. The cashier took my order and fielded any questions I had but no other complaints or complements from me. I ordered the Pistachio latte* and one chocolate chip cookie. The chocolate chip cookie came straight out the oven as it was (still) on the baking tray. The cookie was a standard salted chocolate chip cookie and paired nicely with my coffee. The Pistachio latte is a Doshi signature drink so I opted for that. The coffee was not too bitter or too sweet - good for the balance in between. It also had chunks(?) of the syrup or flavoring which was part of the drink. Haven't had a texture like that with my coffee (different case for boba) so was surprised. Overall, Doshi House is a very solid coffee shop with a wide array to select from and would visit here and there again. *They only have oat, almond, or soy milk choices. I opted for soy milk. read more

Was a quaint little coffee shop. I went there because it kept popping up for Vegetarian lunch, which this year, since I am doing this 'vegan on the weekdays' jam I need more veg options while I perambulate the streets of Houston. There aren't many options, I saw more on the reviews prior with a more expanded menu, but today it was just a selection of 4 tacos so I chose two. The tacos were okay. The Hibiscus tea was hibiscus tea. The spot was diverse, many people knew each other, seemed like a go-to spot for the neighborhood. Services was limited to behind the counter. Not sure I would drive across town to return but if I were hungry and happened to be in 3 mile radius, I would return to see if the other items on the menu return ie the sandwiches and flatbreads. read more

Doshi House has made my list of clutch VEGAN breakfast taco spots in town. Open at 7:30am. The [just] egg and potato tacos are incredibly delicious (rec. on flour). The eggs are so light and fluffy that the tender, perfectly seasoned baton potatoes, (cilantro?)chutney, fresh onions and fresh cilantro complement so well and serve to keep the eggs from floating away. Wash it down with a perfectly crafted (any) latte. Pat your back because you've just set yourself up for a successful run at the tasks waiting for you on the other side of the most important meal of the day. - Can't remember having a lighter textured slice of heaven- err, banana nut bread The people here create a great product. read more

Visited Doshi house, I like the inside of the café, very down-to-earth. Staff is extremely friendly. I was suggest parking on the streets as the parking lot has a lot of gravel and potholes. I had the veggie Panini 8 out of 10 . I wanted the tacos, but they didn't have any jackfruit at the time. I also had the chili and cornbread 7.2/10. The Panini was delicious. The bread was toasted perfectly. The veggies inside were cooked well and season Well and I like it a veggie still had a crunch to them. The chili was really flavorful. I wish the sauce was just a little bit thicker and the cornbread was delicious. It was crumbly and sweet and savory at the same time. I definitely would come back andtry again. read more

I visited Doshi House for the first time last weekend. I wasn't familiar with this place until my Yelp friend Pree suggested it. I can always count on her to introduce me to vegetarian/vegan places around town. Parking is a tad confusing but we realized you can park in the small lot up front or on the street (there's plenty of street parking). It appears that the lot is also shared with Project Row Houses so read the signs before you park. The inside is cute and cozy. The tables are spaced pretty close together, but there's a good amount of seating inside. There's also a back patio with more seating. I ordered the Just Egg and Potato taco. It was really good. I've never had Just Egg before, but it tasted like regular eggs. The chimichurri was very flavorful and I enjoyed the cilantro and diced onion. I just wish the taco would have been bigger. One taco was $5. I had the Sunset Tonic which was refreshing, especially since it was a warm day. I love coffee, but was in the mood for something different. Doshi House really focuses on community engagement and outreach. They also seem to be a place for artists and creatives. I really enjoyed the vibe! read more

Doshi House has a cozy vibe and is perfectly situated on the corner of Emancipation and Holman Street, near the Project Row Houses. I met with fellow Houston Yelp Elite Tiffany for a Sunday afternoon get-together. The parking situation was confusing at first, but we were able to confirm that some of the lot right outside Doshi House is for customers, and parking along Homan Street seemed to be okay. Since it was a warm Sunday, I was in the mood for a cold latte. They have a variety of unique drinks and flavors (not just coffee even), but I opted for the "Pistachio" iced, which was primarily composed of pistachio, cardamom, and cane syrup. They have fun pastries like vegan cinnamon rolls, muffins, and dessert bars, but their savory options are limited to tacos. The tacos are all vegan-friendly, which was something I learned only when I got there. Pleasant surprise! For my taco, I got the "Not So Butter Chik'n", which came with seasoned soy protein, a robust vegan butter chick'n sauce, plus cilantro & onion. My only complaint was that the taco was on the "pricey" side looking at how small the taco was, but at least my latte was flavorful and even with the ice, was a full 16oz. I'd love to come back and try some of the other drinks on their menu. I also saw a lot of people working on their laptops, and they offer free wifi, so it is indeed a great place to work and change up the scenery. read more

My only issue is that the property always looks deserted. It seems like the owner doesn't care about the ambiance in the outside area and the exterior grounds in general.

Hands down the best pistachio coffee ever! Like eveeerrrrrr!! The best that I started off my review speaking of it because everyone that loves pistachio needs this in their life! Has the perfect amount of pistachio favor and every sip I got pistachio pieces!!! Ohhhhh weeeeee I was in pistachio heaven and a great start after my doctor's appointment. I should also say I got it with oatmilk and decaf. This establishment is near emancipation park. Not a lot of parking but there is street parking but more in a sketchy part of town. Leaving the parking lot a homeless woman was approaching my car and then yelling at me as I was leaving. I was able to order my drink and food ahead of time and just go inside and pick it up. I also got the Hawaiiano In decafe with oatmilk coffee because I couldn't decide which one I wanted. It definitely tasted slightly like a sweet pineapple and gave you big island vibes.
