In the area for business and needed to find something other than Starbucks. Found these guys on Yelp! and so glad I did, reviews are spot on. The place was hopping at about 8:30am, (which is a good thing IMO) but don't let the crowd scare you off. These guys were very quick/efficient and were super friendly to boot. I went with the "Skinny Owl" (Keto coffee) and it was bomb. I make this when I'm at home but is typically impossible to find while traveling - until now! Employees were great and I will definitely be back tomorrow and next time I'm in the area. Cheers! read more

The workers are so welcoming, good pastries, great iced mochas, and great overall environment. read more

Just moved to Clear Lake a month ago. Found my new local coffee shop! Loved the bright, clean, and friendly space, but most importantly, I loved the beverages. I am hooked on the Sweet Lavender Latte, and they even put a teeny bit of chocolate in my son's milk so he could enjoy something fun/special. The chorizo breakfast sandwich had melty gooey cheese that was PERFECT. Can't wait to throw all of my money at this place now that I've found it! read more

Java Owl Coffee House - Flat White, warm pretzel w/ whole grain mustard, Marni's Citrus Mocha - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Nassau Bay, Texas

Having just learned of this new coffee shop we had to try it. It's very nicely appointed. Much more spacious than Art of Coffee and therefore not as intimate. But it wasn't loaded with college students. We both had Mochas that were good. UPDATE: We went back today. What a difference 8 days makes. Lots of what looked to be college students. It was too cold, too crowded & too loud -- good for the owners, but not us. We couldn't find a seat that didn't have of us staring into a wall and the other a brightly lighted window. Lowering them one star. We probably won't be back. __ We've eaten out every meal for 30 years and been to more than a few coffee shops read more

Came to Houston to celebrate our roommate's birthday. Woke up this morning and the coffee in our hotel tasted like it was brewed in a demon's gym sock. So we went looking for some real coffee. Found Java Owl within walking distance. The atmosphere was friendly. The owner, John, took the tome to greet us and chat us up. We ordered the house Java with side of whipping cream. He suggested the fresh roasted Texas Pecan. This was absolutely wonderful. And two cups was only $5.00. Loved the atmosphere. Loved the staff. This was a great start to our morning. Will be here tomorrow morning. read more

After a long drive from San Antonio. And a mishap with out hotel we ended up at the Hilton on NASA way... I was in much need of coffee, so I found one not to far along but noticed another coffee shop named Java Owl that was closer. So we decided to check it out-after all it had great reviews, as it should. As we walked in with my sister, brother in law and nieces visiting from California we were instantly greeted with smiling faces, at the register they were very patient and helpful answering our questions being that it was out first time. We got , a latte, chocolate muffin, kids got chocolate , and a couple cans of specialty beer. oh! And Lavender coffee Capp. Everything was delicious. My brother in law played guitar and piano with some locals gals and we sat for about 90 minutes talking and enjoying ourselves, never felt rushed. If we end up down this road again we will make this a must stop. read more

The Clear Lake/League City area finally has a top-notch coffee spot and I couldn't be more thrilled with my experience. Anyone reading this would likely agree that there's a severe lack of high-quality coffee in the area. We have Ca Phe Phin, but that's a totally different brew. We lost Barbazzar, which was solid, but at least we gained this treasure. Seating is more than adequate and decor wise it's clean, aesthetically pleasing and comfortable/homey. The drinks were of course really good (that's up to you to decide) and way better than anything else I've had in the area. The owner was bringing drinks out and is really welcoming. He genuinely cares about this establishment and it shows as evidenced by the quality. The bathrooms were even spotless and comfortable--it felt like a trip to grandma's house. So thankful to have a nice coffee shop without having to drive to Houston or Galveston. Please never leave us! read more

Java Owl Coffee House - Latte and Cappuccino - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Nassau Bay, Texas

Better than "Bucks" and kinder to your Pennies that don't make it into your wallet. The ambiance is jazzy and airy; the nooks are comfortable and the staff is fantastic! I have always left this establishment with a smile on my face. This neighborhood fixture has it all; from a full suite of caffeinated and decaffeinated coffee, tea and even pastries. If it's later on in the day you can still eat your fill with a sandwich and chips selection to stay or go. Why can't all coffeehouses be like this? read more

It is a joy to have coffee here. The owner and staff provide great service and go the extra mile to accommodate requests. Our coffee has been great every time, our dog is welcome, and the atmosphere is warm and friendly-including the patio. The staff also put my protein powder in my coffee for me just the way I like it! We're not from the Houston area but every time we come to visit my daughter we're sure to stop at Java owl! Thank you John! read more

After living in Australia for seven years and thoroughly enjoying the almost religious coffee culture there, I have been a bit disappointed in US coffee offerings. I'll take SBUX as a very, very last resort but prefer local, independent coffee houses. I am in Nassau Bay daily and spotted this shop out of the corner of my eye last week and stopped by to check it out today. I was very pleased with the interior - warm, cozy seating, with a collection of games and tables to play them on. Charging stations near tables and also a corner for music (a piano and guitar looked ready to be played). It has a family friendly atmosphere and also made me feel welcome. And my coffee - my coffee! I started drinking espresso-based coffee drinks when we landed in Perth. The flat white is my go-to standard by which I judge all coffee shops. It's an easy drink to make, and if you can't make it, you shouldn't be pulling shots. My coffee was delicious, hot, with a nice gentle acidity and smooth creaminess from the milk. I was very, very pleased and will be returning. My only wish is that they'd offer a slightly larger size, but my coffee today was perfect. I'd give 6 stars if I could. read more

Popped in here this morning after almost getting my usual had station coffee! I decided to try something different. I'm glad I did. It's really quaint and cozy inside. If I lived closer I would probably come on the weekends and study or just relax. I work at JSC next door so it's convenient to come before work. The owner told me it's better than Starbucks, I told him let me be the judge of that. To my suprise it is!! And a little less cheaper! I opted for the caramel machiato! It's great! I will definitely be back! read more

a cute coffee place but left some things to be desired. I'd say out of all the cafes in the area, it is the biggest with ample seating in and outdoors with different areas for conversation. As a student I don't think this place is the best just because there's no real access to many outlets. So either bring an extension cord or prepare accordingly read more

I wanted to try this new coffee shop out nearby with a friend today, and walked into the shop packed! Friday morning coffee rush was definitely there but shows that everyone really loved this spot! I tried the Sweet Lavender Latte with Oat Milk and it was delicious! The lavender flavor was strong but natural tasting. I did taste anything fake or an excess of syrup- which was the best! The iced drink was creamy and the perfect coffee kick to get my day started. I'd highly recommend the locals and anyone visiting the Clear Lake area to try it out! read more

We have our own espresso machine at home, but during the weekends we love to treat ourselves to some Java! If you are an espresso lover and not a fan of all the syrup at other places, this is your place! Today is the first time that we came around 8am and they even had a cello and piano players, so peaceful and perfect for the ambience. Plus the new location is beautiful, inside and outside! I love that they are dog friendly too. read more

My husband and I decided that we were no longer going to support Starbucks and search for small businesses to support and Java was the first on our list. It was a busy little spot even on that rainy day! The layout of the spot was cute and even though we didn't go out in the outdoor seating, we can tell that it would be great area to hang out in once the weather cools down. I had the lavender latte with almond milk, and it was so tasty! My husband got his usual extra dirty chai with coconut milk and said it was the best latte he ever had. The staff was helpful and very friendly. Love it! definitely will be back. read more

What a gem in our community! Service is excellent and the coffee is incredible! We had a work meeting this morning and enjoyed some amazing coffee on the patio. We each had something different, and it did NOT disappoint. read more

What a great and friendly place. We come from California and we wanted to just explore a local coffee shop and we were blown away. True really nice front desk staff and true southern hospitality. This really nice younger woman with glasses and a beanie was so nice to us. Gave us recommendations of other places to eat. read more

Best coffee outside of Houston for sure. Will drive 20+ minutes for a latte! Pumpkin latte was best fall drink I've had.

Great service, fun atmosphere and delicious drinks would return if we were in the area. read more

Great local coffee place that has friendly staff and a cool atmosphere. Their signature drinks are really good.

So I have a hard time finding good coffee shops in the area I grew up in. Too many Starbucks and independants wanting to be Starbucks. These guys are not. While I prefer lighter roasts than they carry in stock they do not serve up scalded espresso and their treatment of their coffee and coffee drinks is more than respectable. I think their cortado looks cool with the coffee beans on top but they are distracting when drinking them, minor inconvenience. Their specialty drinks have flavor and uniqueness without piling the sugar in. Highly recommend this place and the ambiance and camaraderie that is present here is quite enjoyable. It is no wonder that you will see familiar faces if you frequent here. read more

If you are on the south side of Houston it's very hard to find boutique coffee shops with great coffee but Java Owl is the answer. The lines aren't Starbucks fast because they aren't giving you burnt tasting coffee with artificial syrups that are toxic to your body. Java Owl uses premium coffee beans, great syrups, and they know how to use their espresso machines. Oh, and they also have other great beverage options for non coffee drinkers. Please don't compare this to Starbucks because it isn't Starbucks. Starbucks is the fast food of coffee. Java Owl is a gourmet type coffee spot. I highly recommend it. Oh and there are a lot of great spots to sit where you can read or just lounge while you enjoy your coffee. Here's a tip, if you are trying to grab a coffee to go quickly, use the toast website to order online. Your order is usually ready in about 5-7 mins ;) read more

Java Owl Coffee House - Pup Cups, 20/10 rating. Brad the Doodle approves. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Nassau Bay, Texas

My husband and I recently moved to the League City area and finding an authentic coffee shop in the area was difficult until we came to Java Owl! I'm pretty picky about my espresso, but they make some of the best espresso drinks. You can taste the quality of what they serve! And the owner and staff are always so welcoming! Love this place! Highly recommend! read more

Such a great cozy space tucked away off of NASA parkway! I'm so glad I found this coffee shop a few months ago and definitely make it a point to come in to grab a latte (or two!) to get my day going.
