    Lavender Dream with almond milk
    Alexandria M.

    Ehh. This place is just ok due to its convenient location near the trail, but the quality of food/drink is average. The menu is limited and doesn't even have the ingredients listed for anything- you have to ask one by one until you find something that sounds good which just made me feel bad for asking what felt like too many questions. The establishment itself is in a modern luxury apartment building which is part of why the prices are pretty high. The cleanliness and customer service was lacking. Parking is subject to availability on the street or in a small side lot.

    I had a mixed experience here. I was staying at the Guild so this coffee shop was super convenient. It's cute too, very modern design and I like that it has couches and outlets to charge! However my first experience here was when I was checking in and had time to kill. I came over to the counter to order and there was no worker around, so I sat down and 5 mins later a guy finally comes. I order an iced VGL and a sandwich because they were out of avocado toast. The order took a very long time AND they burned my sandwich! The food was fine except for the burnt part... If I were to rate off of this experience alone I'd only give it two stars. But the next two times I came by to get coffee and the lady who worked there was much friendlier and faster. I got an iced vanilla oat latte the next couple of times which I liked more than the VGL too. I gave it an average score from my very differing experiences, I guess it depends who is working on that day/time.

    I came here to do some work on my computer and I enjoyed their cold brew. Wi-Fi is provided along with decent amount of seating area. The service was okay. The area is clean, organized, and well-lit.

    This place is super spacious and you can spread out and study. There's outdoor seating as well and dog friendly. Right across from the Katy Trail and you can pop in for coffee and continue on the trail, and right next door to the Katy Apartment and lobby. Parking isn't great, it's under a garage and no one leaves the guest parking on weekends.

    I was staying at the Guild so this place is super convenient. Also convenient if you are finishing the Katy Trail near the AA entrance. Yes, they are short staffed, but that is the world we are in right now, and I don't really feel it should be taken out on small businesses... I ordered a latte, it was good, and the service was friendly. There is a lot of inside seating as well as tables outside.

    Cold brew

    This coffee counter and seating is located inside the Katy apartment building. Very quiet with plenty of comfortable seating, big windows, and natural light. Getting into the Katy parking garage was a little complicated (had to do the whole u-turn and loop dee loop thing) but once you do it once, you'll know for next time. The coffee was decent ($5 something for my cold brew), and the quiet and spacious seating area is worth it just for that. Will definitely come back if I'm in the area and need a quiet place to chill.

    Stopped in for a creme brûlée coffee and cinnamon roll. They have quick service and I love that they have the specialty coffee. Cheaper than Starbucks, but much better in my opinion.

    Prerrty barista girl and beautiful espresso machine.

The gentleman who helped me explained what this unique coffee house is all about...just so welcoming and so genuine. Excellent seating inside and out, powerful WiFi and a ton of outlets inside to recharge your devices. They even have a conference room to reserve for meetings. Lovely music piped in, yet not overwhelming. AND, sparkling clean. Two thumbs up - I will be back to work, write, reflect and to simply enjoy the atmosphere. Support this local gem! And, to the team - THANK YOU !!!

This is an old renovated 2 story house with a good amount of seating inside and out and even an upstairs area. Inside is bright and cheerful, and colorful of course. Inside you will find booklets on the LGBT community, and an explanation of all the flags right at the register, anong other things. They have good artwork here too and lots of things to just look at on the walls. I tried the creme brulee iced latte. While it wasn't super strong or sweet, i thought it was just the right amount of flavoring. I will definitely stop by here again the next time I am in town.

They have a fun mix of unique drinks and flavors on the menu and some pasties and small selection of grab and go items. Only downside is I didn't see a bathroom here so plan accordingly.

I will say when in line i downloaded the app but couldn't get it to work for me. Tried to create an account, it said i already had one, reset the password twice and still couldn't get in. I emailed them so hopefully can get that fixed. I love to be part of a reward program and have the ease of ordering ahead from the app! When i walked in this morning, i immediately noticed that it was packed, not really anywhere to sit, so be aware of that. The line wasn't too long and moved quickly. The baked goods looked tasty and they said were from local bakery la casita (i think??). The wait for my drink was short. The service was ok, nothing to write home about, but they were busy so eh. My drink was beautiful and delicious. Highly recommend! I also thought that the decor was very clean, modern and comfy.

Coffee was decent, nothing to rave about. My cappuccino was served in a paper cup which I was not thrilled about. We were eating inside, not taking anything to go, so there was no reason for that. Paper cups influence the flavor of a hot espresso and I drink mine with no sweeteners specifically because I want to taste the actual shot. The espresso was also slightly burnt, which tells me the machine needs a good cleaning. Iced coffee is a different story but for hot cappuccinos, ceramic makes a real difference. My husband's coffee was good though and he was happy with his. Breakfast sandwiches were the toaster style, similar to what you'd expect from a place without a full kitchen. I genuinely enjoyed mine. My husband was not impressed by his. Overall it was a good enough time. We would not go out of our way to come back but if we were in the downtown area and needed a reliable spot in a pinch, we would stop in again. P.S. My ratings are based on whether I believe I could make a better or healthier version at home. If food/drinks/service impress me, I'll be happy to come back. If not, the stars reflect that.
