I came with my husband and two young children…read more The cafe was busy on Saturday morning around 10 am but we were able to choose from a couple table options. You order at the counter and the server will bring the food out to you. We got chicken and waffle & chicken and pancake, French toast with side of scrambled eggs, and an iced lavender latte and English breakfast hot tea. The food & drinks quickly came out, which is always greatly appreciated when dining with kids. The chicken was a generous portion and juicy. The butter had a unique flavor and paired well with the chicken. The pancake and waffle were also big portions. The latte was sweet and well balanced. The manager came around checking on us and was very attentive when I needed to request an extra cup of hot water for our tea. The floral wall decor and light fixture gives such a cozy vibe. Service was top notch and friendly! We definitely will consider coming back soon again.

Visited for brunch around 2pm on a Saturday as a party of 3…read more Overall, menu has a lot of variety and we appreciated both lunch and breakfast available all day. Portions are large/filling and we felt the food was delicious and a good value for money. When we arrived the line was long and menus were not available so we had to search for the menu on the website to avoid deciding at the counter and holding up the people behind us. After ordering, tables were cleaned consistently and service was friendly. Only feedback about seating was outside parties would take chairs from other tables and leave them with no seating and not all tables we're shaded. The drinks being available at the bar when it is busy and then food being delivered to the table was a bit clunky. I picked up water and utensils for our party before sitting and would have preferred to have to pick everything up at the counter or have everything brought to the table to avoid multiple trips around when the restaurant is busy.

The inside is modern and inviting with enough space for getting work done. I definitely would recommend the hot coffee options here and sandwiches, which were surprisingly affordable. Overall, I think this place exceeded expectations and is a great spot if you like to sit and eat/drink.

Got food poisoning from the smoked salmon. Probably Scromboid as it started quickly. I'm a…read morephysician, and in the mornings I like to come by and have breakfast while reading. Something in my gut was telling me not to have the smoked salmon - screaming - but I ignored it, alas here we are. Diarrhea, stomach ache, nausea, buzzing sensation in my mouth. I just pray this passes quickly because I have things to do. Just judging at the young lady managing the food, she just didn't look too excited about the food preparation. I have noticed some slight issues in the past but overlooked it not wanting to be pessimistic, but I have learned. Case in point - avoid raw seafood, especially where you feel they may not have the best food prep practices.. I'm generally healthy so hopefully I will be fine but I have to warn others. Otherwise, it's a nice place to stop for coffee. I probably won't be back. Would have given one star, but kept it at two because aside from that it has a nice ambiance.

I haven't had the breakfast tacos here, but I've tasted their Cookies and Cream Ube cookies and…read moreit's so delicious! I do have a sweet tooth though, so it might be too sweet for some others, but I thought it pairs very well with their Honey Vanilla Latte or their other lattes. The service has been profoundly outstanding with their customers and I've noticed they're accommodating and joking with their customers. I've seen people of all ages at this establishment - students, couples, and people of all ages and ethnicities. It feels like a good spot to just get either a coffee or an alcoholic beverage and sit outside to enjoy the sunsets of Houston. It's also a very bike-able location if you live close in the neighborhood which makes it feel like a cute hole in the wall kinda vibe!

The parking situation isn't ideal, and seating is a bit limited (there is outdoor seating, however), but the nearby views are a huge plus! I also liked how they had a book table sectioned off where customers could borrow books. I ordered the Iced Pistachio Vanilla latte with oat milk so that I could catch up on work for finals. Overall, it was a tasty drink, but I wish the pistachio/nutty flavor had been a bit more prominent, and it felt more like a regular vanilla latte. Compared to other coffee shops, the prices here were reasonable given the size of the cup, so kudos for that, especially in this economy... CoffeeTrend also serves cocktails, which is another neat feature about this place. :)

Customer service was quick and friendly. The only thing is the place is small, so it can feel a bit crowded depending on the amount of people there.

It felt like a very welcoming and relaxed environment, with plenty of space and people dining and socializing throughout the cafe. I didn't try the food but did have a (Healthy) lemonade that was refreshing. Their menu is pretty extensive, with lots of baked goods, coffee, and health-conscious non-alcoholic drink options.. They also clearly label gluten-free items, and there's a nice assortment of snacks available to order as well. Parking was easy thanks to a large parking lot, and the space was clean and calm overall. Definitely a comfortable spot to hang out.. we'd happily come back.

This is a great spot to get some solo work done or meet with a group. It is not too loud, and they are located within a strip so parking is plentiful. Their menu had a wide variety of hot/cold drinks and sweet treats that you'd typically find in a Yemeni coffee shop, all reasonably priced. The pistachio latte was good, nothing extra memorable but it was what I was looking for in the moment. Keeping this place in mind next time I plan to work remotely from River Oaks (:

They…read moredidn't have a whole lot of variety here in terms of sweets as compared to other Yemeni spots back in California. Iced pistachio latte ($7.50) - This latte had a strong pistachio flavor and had almost a buttery feel to it. I really enjoyed it and it was one of the better pistachio lattes that I have tried. Dubai chocolate ($6) - This consisted of a large milk chocolate bar filled with rich pistachio cream and kataifi (crispy shredded phyllo dough). It tasted amazing and much better than most places selling these. Pricing was reasonable. Overall I enjoyed my latte and dessert. The interior has some Yemeni decor and there is quite a bit of seating. The only negative is that I wish they had more sweet and snack offerings.

Still one of the best coffee places in town. Honestly didn't love the sf vanilla latte but like I…read moredid order a sf vanilla latte - are they ever good? The oat latte my friend got was creamy, well balanced and wonderful. We got the eggs, sausage, and cheese taco, chicken gumbo empanada, and the beef empanada and each one was delicious. The breakfast taco really hit the spot. Just right amount of salty, gooey cheese, and meat. Made my day. The empanadas are huge, enough for two people. Another awesome visit.

After having lunch at Loro in Kirby, I had some time to kill before some plans I had later that…read moreday. I hopped on the trust Yelp app to find a coffee shop nearby. Grinder's Coffee Bar came up and it was right across the street so I made my way over. I arrived around 1 p.m. on a Wednesday. I parked in their small complimentary lot and made my way inside. Ambiance (3.5/5): Grinder's is basically two spots in one. When you walk in, there's a small counter where you place your order. And a handful of seats. From there, you wan walk into a more spacious second room that houses a CBD shop. And more seating along with the bathroom. I sat at a couch in the CBD area. While weed isn't my thing, if you're into both weed and coffee, that makes for a nice one-two punch for you. There isn't a ton of seating, less so than most coffee shops. Luckily, since it was a weekday, I didn't have any trouble. I wonder if that's different on the weekends. They also have free WiFi if you'd like to linger and work or study. Service (2.5/5): The menu is a little confusing because they have a menu on the counter and a menu on the wall with different items. I didn't see that there was a menu on the counter until I was about to place an order. They also have some beverages in a cooler that aren't on either menu. Not the best set up. Service wasn't terribly friendly either. Food (N/A): Since I just had lunch prior, no food for me. They have a small, but appetizing number of pastries and small bites for sale if you get the munchies (pun intended). Drinks (3.5/5): I'm not a coffee drinker so take this with a grain of salt. When I go to a coffee shop, I like coffee shops that still have a nice selection of teas and juices. Grinder's has a small number of teas that can be made either hot or iced. I went with one, iced, and sweetened with agave (for a surcharge). I liked it and the price was reasonable. They also had a mocktail of sorts that was available on their seasonal menu, although like most mocktails, overpriced. While not really my vibe, if you're a CBD person, Grinder's will be right up your alley. It's a unique spot and located in a great part of town.

Small seating inside and out (like an icecream shop type seating). I ordered the banana nutella gelato and it was very good. I'll be back for a candy run soon!

A Truly Delicious Breakfast Experience at The Sweet Spot!…read more I had an absolutely wonderful breakfast at The Sweet Spot--everything from the food to the service to the atmosphere was on point! I ordered the Green Chilaquiles and Red Enchiladas, both topped with perfectly cooked sunny side up eggs and served with flavorful beans on the side. You could taste that everything was made fresh from scratch--the ingredients were vibrant, and the flavors were rich and authentic. The owner personally came by and recommended trying the green salsa with the chilaquiles and red salsa on the side--great advice! The green salsa had the perfect kick and complemented the dish beautifully. The service was amazing--friendly, attentive, and welcoming. The ambience was cozy and inviting, making it a great place to start the day. I can't wait to come back and try more dishes. Highly recommend this gem if you're looking for a homemade, satisfying meal served with heart!
