Along with working in a coffee shop I have also visited hundreds of them over the years and I can…read moresay without hesitation that Social House Coffee absolutely stands out. It's just a quick scooter ride from my boat, making it an easy destination whenever I need great coffee and an equally great atmosphere. The staff are the most welcoming, professional, customer-focused, and genuinely personable team I've ever had the pleasure of meeting. I am always glad I stopped in. The shop isn't large but it is a warm and inviting with comfortable indoor seating as well as a pleasant outdoor shaded seating area in a great neighborhood on Herschel Street. Coffee nerds will appreciate the beautiful Victoria Arduino Black Eagle espresso machine, a fitting centerpiece for a café that clearly takes its craft seriously. I also appreciate that they still offer 2% milk as an option as many coffee shops have eliminated it in favor of only whole milk and alternative milks, so it's a welcome choice for those of us for whom whole milk is no longer an option. Most importantly, Social House Coffee is one of the few cafés I've visited that truly embodies the "third place" philosophy and is a place you want to spend time. Whether you're stopping in for a quick espresso or settling in for a while, it feels like a community rather than just another coffee shop. If you're anywhere near the area, do yourself a favor and stop by. It's the kind of place that reminds you what a neighborhood coffeehouse is supposed to be.

Most places chai tea latte are always missing the spiciness of the drink. Not here. It had a spicy punch. The service is fast and friendly.

The coffee tasted good but definitely wasn't strong as we both fell asleep fairly quickly after drinking it (thank goodness we had a person in the party that opted out of coffee and wanted to drive first).

Of course, we had to ask what they were drinking because they looked GOOD. So we ended up going inside and ordering an horchata through the kiosk. My husband took one sip and was immediately like, "Oh wow, that's really good!" And honestly, he wasn't wrong. The drink was delicious! Now let me give y'all a little tip. GET LIGHT ICE. I'm telling you, they are not shy with that ice whatsoever. My husband ordered another one with light ice after I suggested it, and it was SO much better! You actually get more drink instead of a whole cup of ice with a little horchata on the side. We don't really come to this side of town often, but whenever we find ourselves over here again, we'll definitely be stopping by!

When we ordered, he mumbled back and forth and seemingly didn't understand our relatively simple order, which was a bagel, egg and cheese sandwich and a PBJ on a bagel. My wife also got an iced coffee drink. The man at the counter had an attitude with us the whole time, especially after my wife asked for an iced coffee rather than the hot coffee he served. He was huffing and slamming doors and dishes, and it was really unnerving. The most egregious part was the cost. For the above three items, this man actually charged $31. I didn't even bother to argue with him and just paid the tab. There's no way we weren't overcharged, but I'm equally certain he would have resisted any attempt to examine the bill or gotten angrier... over nothing. We didn't say anything or do anything to this man other than place the order and return the hot coffee, which was his mistake. The whole atmosphere was uncomfortable, and I will strongly recommend no one visit Old Cup cafe. You will be ripped off, or retaliated against, and you will not enjoy the experience. Places like this need to just go out of business, and I can't imagine they're long for this world with so many better and more affordable spots in Avondale. Head to Southern Grounds and avoid Old Cup at all costs.

You can enjoy free coffee and $5 BBQ. Donations go toward rent and any excess money is donated to a dog shelter. As of right now, three small dog shelters bring their dogs to the Saturday event: Kamp Kritter, Old Dog Rescue, Dachshund Adoption Rescue and Education. At first I was a little upset that there weren't more dogs to meet, but then I realized that must be a good thing because so many have been adopted in previous weekends!! All of the volunteers were very kind. Each dog had a volunteer that watched over them and introduced the dog. They were very organized in having waivers prepared for when we came in through the back. The little seating area out back was really nice with a very welcoming door to come into see the dogs that were staying out of the heat. That's also where you will find the free coffee and the place to make a donation. If you walk through the barber shop there is even more going on out front! Can't wait to go back!
