    This is a cool, quaint spot off the rain in downtown Houston. I was thirsty so I stopped to get a matcha to quench my thirst and it was great. Staff were lovely and they had food but I was in a rush, so only tried a drink. I'll definitely be back to try the food and enjoy the ambiance. Peace.

    This coffee shop may be one of the best in Houston. I discovered from my Houston Coffee Passport and I'm so glad I did. Staff were nice and patient while I ordered. They took time to explain what the scones and loaves were in the pastry case. I ordered the Bonito iced but honestly it would be just as tasty hot. The place was busy and pretty full so I sat outside in a nice shady spot. I will be back and can't wait to return. Happy Yelping!!

    We needed a pick-me up and stopped here. It was a pleasant experience. We enjoyed everything, it is slightly more expensive for the portions (I would consider them slightly on the smaller side)

    Stopped by Fifth Vessel since I needed to be in the area for lunch later and was able to spend a nice two hours in the space nursing a delicious hojicha latte. Wasn't able to try any of the food but the options all looked great. Highly recommend this spot for all your caffeine needs, and there are plenty of outlets if you need to work on a device while enjoying your beverage or food. Would love to come back and try the other tea drinks on the menu sometime!

    THE BEST MATCHA IN HOUSTON! Wow I mean I've tried Rocky's matcha at home but a place that uses it is crazy work! They have so many options too! The place is small yet cute and chill, could be a place to work or hang out. The service is good, can get busy and take a while but it was all worth it! I've tried over 15 matcha spots in Houston this week and this is my favorite! I highly recommend and would come back! The flavor is unique, strong, and balanced!

    Cardomom matcha - 9/10 - $9.50 - Loved the cardamom flavor and creamy foam, would prefer a tad more matcha Strawberry matcha - 8/10 - $9 - Tasted like strawberry milk with matcha, would be better with strawberry puree and more matcha but still good Maple matcha - 7/10 - $9 - Vanilla foam on this was good but the sweetness overpowered the matcha flavor Fifth vessel has some of the stronger matchas ive had (rockys matcha) even though i personally would prefer a bit more Overall a good spot for matcha if youre in the area but definitely overpriced for their small cup sizes (mine was gone in like 1 sip)

    I desperately needed an early afternoon pick-me-up, so was happy to see that Fifth Vessel was a stone's throw away from my job. Thankfully, the barista was patient with me as I am still a newcomer to coffee drinking so had a hard time deciding on what to order: I settled for a caramel white chocolate latte and it was dessert in a cup! The inside space is quaint and cozy with lots of natural lighting so I'd love to return for a workday.

    Chai and iced coffee
    Alexandra P.

    My boyfriend and I try a new coffee shop every Saturday, and this past weekend we checked out Fifth Vessel. It's a small cafe tucked into a corner off Main Street, but right now there is a lot of noise from construction happening directly in front of it. We arrived around 8:30 in the morning and there was only one other person inside. People came and went pretty steadily but not a lot of them stayed. We had planned to hang out and play cards, but we forgot to bring them. With all the construction noise it wouldn't have been the most relaxing spot anyway. I ordered an iced chai with almond milk and I really liked it. It was sweeter than I usually prefer, probably because of the almond milk but the flavor was so good that I didn't mind. My boyfriend got an iced coffee and said it had a great taste and strong brew, just the way he likes it. Overall, this place is super cute and I would definitely come back once the construction is finished and you can actually enjoy the vibe in peace.

    Interior

    I've been wanting to try Fifth Vessel for a while and I'm so glad I finally did - it was delicious! The interior was beautiful as well and I ended up staying to study for a while. I got the Momo (matcha and peach) and it was amazing. I drank it in just a few minutes and wanted another drink, but I will say they were quite expensive so I refrained. There are several matcha and coffee drinks that I'm excited to try in the future though! The parking situation is a bit difficult since it's street parking only but I got lucky and got a spot around the corner. I'll definitely come back to Fiffh Vessel, and I highly recommend!

    Beautiful lights inside
    Mckenna S.

    I highly recommend Fifth Vessel Coffee! I went today and the ambiance is so beautiful with gorgeous lights inside and a very neat kitchen. The staff were very kind as I'm from out of town so I was asking if they knew of a bus stop nearby and they went above and beyond to help me look for one. Also, they were kind to ask how sweet I would like my iced matcha.

    Cool lil coffee shop on the edge of downtown. I think what I ordered was called cardamom matcha. It was very cute layered drink. Now I'm not an avid coffee drinker so I could be wrong. So take my suggestion as a grain of salt lol. Maybe infuse the foam or include a spoon so the guest knows to mix it. The goodness was at the bottom. The top was just bland so first few sips were confusion until I got the bright idea to combine everything. Most definitely check them out they have all the classics and some dope curated drinks as well. I did see some cute plates coming out so food and pastries are available.

    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 great cafe for work (if you manage to get a seat) and coffee is pretty good. I came on a Friday morning 9am and crowd was light. Noise level - 60db quiet conversation Wifi speed - 94 down 184 up Power plugs - only 4 along the wall Seats - 10 indoors Parking - Paid street parking can be expensive The service was great. My flat white came within 5 minutes. I didn't get any food but there are plenty of choices. This cafe is Japanese themed and people don't usually stay for long. The owner is a cool guy and I'd definitely come back!

    Ichigo matcha
    Haeli Y.

    Employees are friendly, pretty and open space for a small corner spot, yummy flavors for drinks and pastries. It's worth going out of the way to get drinks here! Ichigo matcha tastes like strawberry pocky, in the best way possible. The peach is pleasant too but strawberry matcha just hits differently.

    The best black sesame latte in Houston…read more I'm always looking for black sesame flavored drinks ever since I tried it in Seattle, so I was excited that TwoTone had it. The nuttiness of the sesame goes SOOO well with the espresso taste and it's a good creaminess too. I also like the texture of the bits of sesame seeds in the drink. The aesthetic of the cafe is modern with street-style flairs, it's a really cool space. I also love that there are Filipino flavors on the menu like ube and pandan. Most workers are super nice and say your name like they know you. They're also super attentive to ensure that everything with your order is perfect. Jonah was very welcoming and helpful, making sure we got a menu while in line! The weekdays seem to be better for wait-time, with little to no wait. The weekends however are packed and usually have lines. If you're not a line person, I would definitely come on a weekday. TwoTone is probably the best specialty coffee you can get in Houston, especially in terms of Asian flavors and creaminess. If it was closer to inner Houston, I would probably come here everyday.

You can tell they care about quality, and I absolutely understand why this place stays busy. That being said, the wait time was very long. I waited about 30 minutes from the time I ordered to actually receiving my coffee, and this was on a Wednesday around 10 a.m. I'm not sure if that's their normal flow, but it was packed. Thankfully I didn't have anywhere to be, because if you're stopping in before work or during a tight schedule, definitely plan ahead and expect a wait. The only real downside for me was the timing and ordering process. Spending close to $10 on one coffee plus waiting that long makes this feel more like an occasional treat rather than an everyday coffee run. I'll admit I may have been a little cranky from the wait, but I do think it's fair feedback. Overall though, my coffee was delicious, and because of that, I would absolutely give them another chance. Good things take time, I guess.

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!
