    Tiramisu iced latte
    Kelli G.

    Coffee was great ordered a tiramisu iced latte with an extra shot of expresso soo delicious. To eat I ordered bruschetta added avacado and prosciutto very fulfilling and fresh. The overall service was great the inside was so nice I went around lunch time and there were quite a bit of people having meetings. Also, there was cute outdoor seating.

    Ella is my new favorite coffee shop! The coffee "Lizzie Tiramisu" was so yummy and the Panini with prosciutto was so delicious for lunch. The vibes are super cozy and there's places to work with lots of extension cords. The baristas and I think the owner were so sweet! I'm very impressed and glad I came to work here for the day. Also cute puppies!!

    Stopped in the new location off Sunset Blvd since why not check them out. I promise it's worth it. Cute little spot in the neighborhood. So easy to get In and out of from Kirby or Shepherd. They offer their great coffee choices. True Italian style in sizing. So don't expect something huge if you ask for a shot of something. Well worth the cost. My latte was the perfect milk to coffee ratio. Plenty of seating to hang out with friends while chatting. They also offer good now which I'll have to try the next time I visit. It smelt amazing. The staff is always so friendly. I was instantly complimented upon walking in which of course added an added pep to my step. according to my husband I am well caffeinated now from my amount of energy.

    We love Ella coffee! We have followed Laura everywhere since she was at the park. Great & friendly service. Great coffee & innovative ideas. All they need is to bring back the horchata latte ;).

    Absolutely love this place, pet friendly on the patio. The two ladys taking orders love their job and it shows, rare these days. Coffee was so good and they even have seasonal drinks. Baked Items are yummy as well, def coming back.

    Friendly local place! Great coffee. My overnight oats were chewy and yummy with fresh strawberries and blueberries. Lots of people walking over from the neighborhood and some open parking out front. Pastries look amazing - next time!

    TLDR - This is a cute coffee trailer in Buffalo bayou park near the cistern with a super friendly owner. The horchata latte (they call it horchata espresso) is good. We've stopped by for coffee at Ella a couple times now and honestly it's always a pleasant time getting our coffee here. It's a trailer that parks near the cistern by the skate park. Honestly, I enjoy the service I get from the very friendly lady working behind the counter. Not sure if she is Ella, I'm too shy to ask, but she can make you feel happy even before you get your coffee. I've gotten the horchata espresso a couple times and it's pretty good. I think overall the drinks are good especially for slinging it out of a trailer in a park.

    Very tasty. Same quality of Starbucks for the same price. Extremely convenient being right next to the bayou park bike rentals. There is outdoor seating and the near by park ambiance. Service was fast! The two employees in the truck were super friendly!

    Decided to stop by and grab a coffee after a run and I'm very glad I did! The setup is really cute and they do a good job of efficiently displaying the drinks and pastries they have for the day. Additionally, the barista was very nice and helpful when I had a few questions about customizing my order. The coffee itself was delicious and just to my liking: not overly sweet and maintained a good balance of rich, coffee flavor that was complimented by and not diminished by the lavender add-in. Ella Coffee is the perfect way to end a run or walk or even if you just happen to be in the area and I would definitely recommend you check it out!

    Ella coffee is always fantastic! I love their specialty drinks. The ladies running it are super friendly, warm and inviting. They become one of my favorite coffee spot.

We all ordered different milks -- whole, skim, coconut, and oat -- and they were able to accommodate all of us! I really liked my iced latte, which was rich without being overly floral or sweet. The pastries were also a hit, including the lemon poppy muffin, cherry turnover, chocolate croissant, and the spinach, mushroom, and cheese danish. The outside of this coffee shop and apothecary doesn't exactly have curb appeal, but the inside is bright, clean, and stylish, combining sleek lines with softer botanical elements to create a welcoming space. The barista was... indifferent at best, borderline unfriendly at worst. We did ask a couple questions that seemed to irritate her, but we were the only people in there, so we weren't holding up a line or anything. It was a bummer to feel unwelcome, but we were getting the coffee and pastries to go regardless, so it didn't ruin our breakfast.

We ordered the iced pistachio latte with almond milk and the sweet chocolate iced blend with almond milk and a shot of espresso. Both drinks were delicious and reasonably priced. I'm very delighted that I've found a coffee shop that has a pistachio drink that actually tastes like a pistachio! The customer service was fantastic, the restaurant offers indoor and outdoor seating, although not as spacious as many coffee shops it's still manageable, and we saw online that they offer monthly barista classes. I most definitely plan to return to this establishment!

The barista helped me pick out the perfect latte. I got the Island Latte, which the barista told me has toasted coconut flavors with a hint of pandan. I had them make it semi-sweet... There's limited seating inside, but I found a small table to get some work done (wifi access with purchase). It was a bit hot and humid inside, so I was a bit uncomfy. But that's Texas summer for ya!

I absolutely loved the vibe - it was welcoming and community touches all around. For example a little "take a book" wall, plant propagation exchange station, and some items for sale including a book one of their baristas wrote. How cool! And the COFFEE - this is somewhere where you can really taste the craft. Fantastic Ethiopian house blend. We also tried some pastries and the cornbread cookie (SO good).

I especially enjoyed being here sitting in the comfy chairs with my friend sipping the freshly brewed coffee and some delicious pastries. I first learned about this place was because of the OutSmart Magazine's annual recognition. People chose Cleo Coffee as the Gayest and Greatest Readers Choice Award, along with the other business Cleo Roasting Co. The best time to come by is commute hours and Sunday afternoon. I could usually find space to sit and park. I usually buy the freshest roasted beans and ask them to grind them for me. So, I can take them home to brew at my house. I'm here frequently to buy my freshly roasted coffees.

I've ordered both espresso and matcha lattes, and although I'm more of a coffee person they were both so tasty! The interior is very open with lots of light, and there are a lot of seating options so I've never had trouble finding a place to sit. Wifi is fast and convenient for studying or working. Parking is also very easy. I will definitely be back! I've also tried a pilates class at their attached studio which was a lot of fun! The classes are small and intimate, and the lighting is definitely a vibe.

I…read morefirst learned about Duo through signing up for a pilates class, and I fell in love with the place more through the people and the vibes in the connected coffeehouse. From a chat with the barista, I learned that Duo started because the husband had a love for coffee and the wife had a passion for pilates, so they thought "why not combine the two?" The River Oaks location is the founding store and they have since expanded to a second location as well. The people who work here truly seem happy and are eager to share the stories of their founders, which makes the place even more special. During my visit, I tried the birthday cake latte, which is a seasonal drink, and the flavors were also beyond what I've tried elsewhere. I'm typically not a fan of birthday cake flavored items, but I was feeling adventurous so I told the barista to surprise me with a drink from their menu and that's the flavor they ended up picking for me. When I received the birthday cake latte, I wasn't all that excited but all prejudice fell away after the first sip! I didn't adjust any sugar or ice levels like I typically do for my drinks, yet the drink was just right! Overall, I am just amazed by the people, the vision, and the gem of a place that I sort of happened into on a random weekend. I will definitely be returning again frequently for pilates, lattes, and/or fun conversations. Pro tip: initially it looks like visitors have to use street parking, but I confirmed with the staff that the parking lot across from the coffeehouse is free to use as well. Pro tip #2: there is option to order ahead with the QR code in image attached. I have not tried, but that may help skip the lines and make it easier for drink pickup. Pro tip#3: going for pilates here makes it so much easier to grab a quick bite or drink before/after workout!
