Awesome coffee shop. Delicious coffee. Friendly staff. Very comfortable atmosphere. I am a lifelong coffee enthusiast and stopped by 3 times on a recent business trip. Each time I tried something different and loved everything I tried. The highlight was a cayenne mocha latte the barista recommended. Definitely recommend the Java Owl! read more

This is the cutest little coffee shop & it's decorated so beautifully. The staff was incredibly polite and brought me my coffee as I was reading. They had a gentleman lightly strumming an acoustic guitar such a lovely way to decompress on my off day. I had a Carmel macchiato and added collagen & I can't tell you the last time I had a cup of coffee for less than $5 but the quality was absolutely there. read more

Officially one of my favorite coffee places with a very homey atmosphere. Dog friendly, vibrant and busy local coffee shop. Came here to do work at 7am and to my surprise the shop was filled with people. Families, people doing work, groups of older people catching up. And pups!! Being here, automatically brightens my mood with the open space, bright lights, and kind people. Try their lavender coffee! Have small snacks like breakfast tacos and pastries. Def coming back over any coffee shop. read more

I've been looking for a nice cafe to get some work and studying done and this will be my go to spot now. It was busy enough to feel surrounded and have some ambient noise but it didn't feel loud or rushed to be here. All of the staff were kind, welcoming, and genuine. I had a blueberry scone that was absolutely huge and perfect alongside my cappuccino. I will definitely be back!! (Hopefully with a friend so we can peruse the board game bookshelf) read more

Good flat white. Very smooth and nice flavor and texture. Seems like a nice place to sit a while but we got ours to go. I could see the barista took great care with preparing our drinks, and they were very well done. Will be back. read more

Stars for coffee and vibe, I haven't tried their foods or pastries. I spent a week in Houston visiting relatives and found this place on Yelp. I tried their cortado and iced latte, and both were very good. I like my espresso on a sweeter side, without too much dark roasting flavor or sourness. I tried 3 other local coffee shops in the area and in downtown (2 of them also very highly rated), and this one was my favorite. (Although the downtown one had better selection of pastries) The vibe is interesting - not super cool or hip..but very friendly, neighborhood-y so to say. And the customers are very diverse - I loved that there were many families, friends, people all ages, people reading, knitting, etc. Also a friend of mine who lives in League City told me this place has her favorite espresso beans! I visited 4 times during my stay, and sometimes the line/ wait was long, but overall the service is good. read more

Hard to say anything new that hasn't been said about how good it is, so I will make this short and sweet - Great cup of coffee, strong but smooth. The consistent 5 stars say it all. Only wish they had a drive-thru, but they do have a nice inside AND outside area if you want to sit and sip. read more

Java Owl coffee house is a gem in the Clear Lake area. John and his team are kind and lovely. Attention to service and small details are important to John and his team. He is a great boss..he leads by example. He pulls coffee, clean counters, clears tables, takes orders, and still manages to connect and visit with the customers; all while smiling. I've been here at different times of the day. I appreciate the vibe that changes as the day progresses; uplifting and perky in the mornings, balanced and energetic mid day, and relaxing and mellow as the day wraps up. This is a small local shop that supports other small local business: pastries, cupcakes, biscottis, pottery (coffee mugs), and fresh roasted coffee beans are all from local small business. Supporting this business is supporting your neighbors. If you haven't stop by for coffee or tea put this place on your list. read more

Food was good, I had the empanadas and a cherry danish. Danish was 9/10 very flaky, warm and yummy. The empanadas were 7/10 good flavor and the sauce is really yummy but the inside was lukewarm warm when brought to me. Got a coconut milk caramel latte which was very good. Service was kind and quick. read more

Java owl coffee house is a really cute lil place. The service was great, helpful, and attentive. They have your basic Coffee and tea drinks to choose from and pastries (no gluten free options). Liked that they offered MCT oil and butter, not many places offer that in the local area. One of their specialty drinks was the honey owl latte. The drink fell flat and was just plainly not good. Would like it if they offered gluten free options for food, also maybe more specialty/unique drinks to their menu. read more

Walking in I feel at home. Staff is friendly. They have a good variety of teaand coffee and other beverages including wine and beer. This is a place like Cheers, the owner (John) engages with you and makes you feel at home. There is an assortment of games, a piano and a guitar if you are inclined to play. There is a cute outside patio. The staff will bring your drinks to you. They also have little bites lime muffins, cookies, sandwhiches and pastries. This place draws lots of visitors throughout the day and sometimes it can be hard to find a seat at certain times but thats because it is that good. Highly recommend. I have been comimg here since the place openned, this review is way over due. read more

Java Owl Coffee House - Earl grey tea and Caramel Macchiato - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Nassau Bay, Texas

This is the first place I go when I have an ounce of free time. I am a very busy person and need a space to go to get things done in-between activities, this place provides that and more. The atmosphere is so peaceful, with many tables inside and outside, comfortable seating options as well, like couches, and armchairs. There is a piano where people can openly play, and the overall decor and vibe of the place is so uplifting, and I always get things done when I am spending my days there. And not only is the ambiance great the food and beverages are so amazing, but the drinks are unique and well-made and there is something for everyone. While their main focus is their beverages the food also is very good, with sweet and salty options. The service is great too, lots of great, knowledgeful employees always willing to help, and be of service. I love getting a coffee here just to think or to get all my things done, always a great experience! read more

After trying this place the first time, I had a gut feeling that I needed to come back. This time I tried the matcha latte and it was DELICIOUS! I'm really glad I gave this place a second chance! It really is about finding flavors you like accompanied with high quality barista techniques. 10/10 would def recommend! read more

10/10. It's my first time here and I ordered a lavender latte to go. I went at 11am on a Saturday and the inside was full, the patio was almost full. They have board games and books available. The staff is so friendly!! I ordered a lavender latte with SF vanilla and oat milk. The sweetness lavender flavor is perfect. Other lavender lattes I've had are overly sweet or the flavor is underwhelming but this one's a A++ read more

I'm from CA...and all I've been told about people from CA is they have higher standards for their coffee! So when I say this place is the BOMB, I mean it. The coffee is outstanding, but the service is even better. The owner, I wish I knew his name, instantly becomes your friend. It's not at all disingenuous, in fact the opposite. He really wants to see you again and make your experience delightful. The drinks are so reasonable. A latte that I would pay $7 for in CA is $4.50 and it's even better. The place is really cute and the atmosphere is very inviting. I don't doubt that we found our regular spot! read more

Awesome new coffeeshop in Nassau Bay! The interior is spacious and offers a variety of seating from chairs and tables to couches. Came in on a Saturday afternoon and it was very busy, but the staff were doing a great job of getting the orders and also bringing out the drinks personally to customers. The owner also stopped by to deliver my drink, and was around making sure that everyone was doing okay. There was a mix of studying students and groups coming in to hang out. Overall, not a bad place to do both. Other small touches included bringing drinks out on coasters, and having both USB and normal wall outlet chargers. Had an iced lavender latte with oat milk, which was very good. I would definitely want to try more of their coffee options in the future, as well as some of the baked goods that seemed very popular with other customers. They definitely seem to know their way around their coffee. read more

great coffee! when you can get it. staff is slow and with increasing amounts of attitude. was there recently waiting in line. a barista was obsessing over getting a drink perfect, doing artistic designs in the foam, gingerly sprinkling lavender bits on top. nice. however, she was super slow and the other two were running back and forth to the back room for some reason. they basically abandoned the register as the line got longer and longer. after about 7 minutes of this, which was very entertaining, i went and got coffee somewhere else. read more

Absolutely a great coffee shop! From the moment you walk in there is a relaxed vibe in the air. They have a great selection of crafted espresso drinks as well as a good selection of teas. Very clean yet homely and inviting. Pull out your laptop, grab a board game or book of the shelf, or mingle with your neighbor's dog. Yes that right. If your dog has manners they are welcome inside or out on the patio with plenty of umbrella covered tables. The staff is extremely friendly and is great at making suggestions if you dont know what you want. The owner remembers everyone, and hes always there to greet you with a smile. read more

This coffee shop was the easiest 5 stars I've ever given. I had the full intention to take my latte to go but ended up staying because the ambiance is so inviting. All of the workers are happy and my matcha was easily the best matcha latte I've ever had. My partners sweet lavender latte with oat milk was also delicious. We will be back read more

Stopped here on the way to the space station. Amazing coffee, with cute and comfy seating and very nice servers. If I am ever in the area again, I'll make a point of stopping by. This place is what a coffee shop should be. The only critique is I'd like to see a wider array of food options, but if all you want is a bagel or some pastries, it does the trick. The point here is the coffee and vibe, not so much the food. read more

This was not my favorite tasting coffee, I will not return. It was meh all around from the coffee, to the vibe to the staff. Not a place for me read more

I went in after a workout expecting to order an iced coffee. I'd never been before, but remembered this cafe from when it was on Upper Bay and decided to go there instead of the mermaid. None of the patrons inside where wearing masks, but part of the staff was. Masks aren't required, but this is just an fyi in case that's something you look for. I told the guy at the counter I wanted iced coffee, preferably something sweet. He suggested a lavender latte. I was surprised to see actual lavender inside the cup. It was a good drink--sweet and refreshing. The espresso wasn't overpowering. My only complaint was that I wanted a large iced coffee and the guy at the counter didn't let me know if there were other sizes available for that drink. read more

This is literally the best coffee place. All the drinks are good. Especially the coffee, lattes and cold drinks. And not only is it good but the prices don't cost an arm and a leg like at the other coffee shops; which are not even close to as good as this place.... The atmosphere is great too... but the only downside is the place is always packed full of people. read more

Honey owl and sweet lavender lattes are great. The thing that makes this place shine though is the friendly staff and owner who takes time to explain and talk with the guest greeting repeat customers sometimes even by name. Really enjoyed the experience and atmosphere at Java owl. If only this was my neighborhood coffee shop in Dallas. read more

I love this place. A main part of what I feel like makes it so special is that it's an escape from the chain restaurants and cafés. Java Owl feels like sanctuary for locals. The vibe is very artistic and homey, I love going here to read, work on homework, or catch up with friends. I personally recommend the Honey Owl hot with oat milk. For a snack, if you're lucky and they have them, their snickerdoodle cookies are AMAZING! read more

Coffee is really good. The best in the area. Coffee shop is really nice and cozy.... But every time I come here I have to make sure I have the time to. Today I waited 20 minutes for a flat white.......... Other times it's nearly a 10-15 minute wait for a coffee. read more

Make your way over here, and you won't be let down. The vibe is very welcoming and everyone's so friendly! The cheese danish is incredible, and they serve the most distinct/delicious coffee you'll find. John, the owner, is incredibly kind and welcoming. Support small businesses! Plus, their coffee is all locally sourced. read more

Good drinks prepared by people who care about their product. Drinking coffee at Java Owl is like sitting in your living room. Pretty great!

Wow... best matcha latte frappe I've ever tried!!! Such a cute coffeeshop with lots of tables outside and a few inside to study. I came with a friend from Galveston to try out a new study spot and Java Owl did not disappoint. Love the vibes, and the baristas are so friendly. I was also surprised how reasonably priced everything is-- was tempted to get myself two drinks. All in all, amazing drinks, cheap prices, great environment. read more

Kind of reminds me of where Cramer, George, Elain and Seinfeld met for their "meetings of the minds"... ‍ Anyways... the cost is reasonable and the service Divine!

This is the cutest coffee shop I've ever been to & never knew it existed until a week or so ago! My niece is in town from Philly and we love coffee, so I wanted to take her out after work. We both Yelped shops and she came across this one and I'm so glad she did! The ambience is refreshing and bright. They have cute seating arrangements and even a great patio. Since it was new to us, the guy at the register gave us his suggestions/top customer favorites. We didn't try any of those since we both usually like mocha iced coffee so asked if they could do that. The owner actually brought it out to us, but it was hot, so I told him we requested iced and he was apologetic and returned with them iced. It was really good! I may branch out and try their lavender drink since many reviewers talk highly about it. I'm glad I found a new LOCAL coffee shop close to my work! Support Local! read more

Java Owl Coffee House - Mocha iced coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Nassau Bay, Texas

This is not a 3rd-wave coffee house with rotating single origins and a myriad of slow brew options. But it is a coffee shop with lovely ambiance and a consistently delicious Brazilian (blend?) coffee on drip. The coffee is nutty and chocolatey, just what you'd expect from good coffee from Brazil. And, as the coffee cools, a beautiful fruitiness opens up in the cup. Unless you dislike the flavor of coffee, stay away from the Texas Pecan coffee that is sometimes on offer. I'm sure it's popular amongst some segment of customers, but taste like coffee it does not. The owner and staff are great! If there's anything wrong with your order, they'll do what it takes to fix it. I'm an out-of-towner, so I might not be back soon. But you can be assured: next time I am in town, Java Owl will be on my list of stops! read more

The iced lattes were perfectly sweet and delicious. There seems to be something special about the foam on top, it was so yummy. We also tried a pastry, I believe it was some sort of almond tart and it was far more tasty than it had any business being! The ambiance is so nice and relaxing with indoor and outdoor seating. Perfect place for a chat and catch up with friends, or even a date! read more

I think their lavender latte is the best I've had. Also, for the first time ever I was able to buy reasonable prices packed hard boiled eggs and a tea with a timer! This place gets better every time I come over. read more
