Exceptional service with complimentary drinks, free WiFi and an astonishing great taste for authenticity. Was driving around for meetings and happen to stumble upon this hidden gym. Go see for yourself. I had the summer menus Mango Glow Matcha, it was delicious and lit me up. Downside, it's pretty compact and can be extremely loud. Other than that S/O to Jordan amazing barista skills and customer service

I was pleasantly met with such a lovely experience at Katz Coffee. I was in the mood for coffee or a matcha for my afternoon pick me up and stumbled upon Katz Coffee. Located in East Spring Branch, the coffee shop is nestled between supplier stores and warehouses its exterior certainly blends in with its surroundings. However, the interior is quite eclectic, fun, with fond pictures, news articles throughout. I ordered an ice matcha that was delicious! Nice amount of sweetness and this flavor was definitely more nutty compared to others I've tried. To my surprise I took out my card to pay and was told the drinks at the cafe are complimentary. That was such a lovely surprise that I definitely do not take for granted. The employees educated us on the reasoning behind the cafe's mission and naturally I researched more about the company as well. I will certainly patron this cafe and continue to tip, purchase products to support their cause.

Dope spot!!! Free coffee and good people!! I do recommend you to check out the beans that they sale though, because that's one of the ways they can offer free coffee. Today I tried a new summer drink, the lemon one!! Yes, lemon and espresso is a thing and it's a good thing! Go try it! Happy Yelping!

Free coffee? Heck yaaaa. I was referred by a friend and had to test the theory. Turns out, the coffee really is free. They're a white-label roaster that distributes to other coffee shops around town, which explains it. The staffs are spectacular, super passionate and knowledgeable about their coffee. The space is an absolute ideal environment for working or studying. It's currently one of my favorite spots to study. And of course, the coffee itself is pretty good too.

Pumpkin spice latte
Jenny L.

Really enjoyed the coffee here - I came in at 9 to do some work and grab a cup of coffee. I got the pumpkin spice latte, which had a pumpkin spice syrup which wasn't too sweet - a perfect balance to the espresso. Extremely generous of the team to provide free coffee for the community. There was a long line already and two baristas making drinks. I would recommend getting to the shop during off hours (mid morning or lunch) if you don't want to wait in a long line, but well worth the wait if you do come during peak hours! Not the best place to work, especially since there is a lack of outlets in the space and the tables are small. I also bought a bag of coffee beans, and they were able to grind them to a moka pot coffee ground consistency! So far, my morning coffees these past few weeks with this blend + moka pot setup have been excellent.

I come here for my coffee beans because it's cheaper than getting them at HEB, they grind the beans for me, and I get complimentary coffee. The staff are also always very nice and helpful. The only con about this place is that the hours are pretty limited. If you work typical office hours, you'll probably never be able to come here because they close by 4pm and are only open on weekdays. I usually order some sweet-sounding latte they have on their seasonal menu, but it's never actually sweet. Much more of a bitter coffee flavor every time. Haven't tried asking for it to be sweeter, so maybe I'll try that next time. They do have a drink station with sugar packets, napkins, and straws though too. Also, remember to bring cash to tip!

Roasted same day

I found this place through another coffee shop selling their coffee. There are a couple of other roasters throughout Houston, but this one has a wide selection of different flavors, roasted daily. It is a coffee shop /roaster. You can order whatever is on their menu online either whole Bean or have them grind it. It's a neat little coffee shop. They have a record player inside for music. The staff is really nice. I'll probably be getting my coffee from this place from now on. Elevate your coffee experience. Best By date is not the same as Roasted Date.

Great spot great customer service. You can go to meet someone for a cup of coffee or just to relax by yourself. You can also purchase some of the coffee to take home and make it yourself i recommend visiting

Anyone who knows coffee in Houston, likely knows Katz as one of the biggest local brands. So many of the reviews here are paying tribute to Katz as a product, but my review is actually about the location and the coffee itself. I walked in here completely blind. As a relatively new'ish Houstonian, I had no idea what the big deal was. I saw a highly rated "cafe" on Yelp and decided to come here to knock out some work and stay caffeinated in the process. When I walked in the doors at 9AM, I saw almost no one except one worker. He explained to me they don't sell coffee drinks here, but that they sell coffee beans / bags instead. He pointed to the wall of different coffee blends and said, "That's our money maker. We don't sell drinks though." And I thought I had made a mistake and was about to walk out. He then offered to make me a drink and I then noticed an entire menu of different drinks. "You don't sell drinks here? What's the menu all about?" And it dawned on me: they're free. Buy a bag, drink all the coffee in house you want. Brilliant. So I got a nitro cold brew and sat down to enjoy some of their semi-fast WiFi. There were couches and individual chairs and slowly but surely folks started trickling in and just ordering espressos, flavored lattes, and even their "Houston Strong" medium / dark roast drip. For free. At the very bottom of the dry erase board read: "All drinks are made complimentary + made with liquid love from the Katz fam." I love their various blends that span all around the world including countries like Nicaragua, Ethiopia, Kenya, Honduras, Costa Rica, etc. For coffee lovers, they make for great gifts and they even have special blends for University of Houston fans. I am not even the biggest coffee fan, but they've now got one in me. I plan on being a regular in no time.

I cannot say enough good things about this place. Great service and cute cafe ambience. First tried this when my brother in law sent us coffee for Christmas, so I had to go pay a visit when I was in town recently. They offer two complimentary coffee items when you are there, no catch! They also gave my son a hot chocolate too. Great selection of ground and whole bean coffee. Smooth flavors. Bought a few to take home as well, check out the pics! I've definitely become a fan.

Katz Coffee is such a comfortable and amazing place! I love the Machamango Latte -- it's absolutely delicious and I highly recommend it.

Kristen M.

Love this place, they support good causes, make a great product and offer COMPLIMENTARY COFFEE.

Love this place! Very high quality vietnamese coffee that is consistent! Quite a modern design…read moreinside, very aesthetical. The front can make it looked closed thougy. Parking is a bit difficult at times as well from my experience. Cashmere - velvet espresso with caramel, so smooth and a little bit more on the sweeter side but is great! Aoi banana (not pictured) - this is probably my seasonal favorite right now that im hooked on. Matcha banana and its the perfect mix and my group's favorite. Reminds us of the banana milk cans we got back in japan. An absolute delight that ill probably keep getting til they rotate it out Tried their chairoi banana which is the espresso variant of the matcha verison and it's good but I think the matcha mixes much better with the bananas Yuki matcha - white chocolate matcha- I personally liked this one quite a bit but I can see it wouldn't be for everyone. It's quite sweet, think of regular sugar in a normal boba/tea drink. Mixes well with the matcha but I won't lie, the banana verison has me hooked more! Overall I like their coffee here and it's definitely in my coffee rotation so I would recommend it! Its also not far from memorial park so.. a great excuse after a run after melting in the sun

I feel like I've been here in the past, however today I stopped by and I decided I wanted something…read morea little different for my meeting at work. I opted for the Matcha Oki Oki Oki Oki with almond milk, and I added a little touch of Ube cream light. Upon walking in its very spacious cute very minimalist earth tones clean straight to the point. service was really great however, I was a little disappointed that the pastries had not arrived yet, but they apologized because for some reason they're items weren't delivered yet. The matcha was just beautiful. aesthetically the colors are fun to drink. I definitely gotta come back again and try some other items and a pastry.

This location is near a really good restaurant called Blind Goat. Not too far from memorial area. They have chess board and board games. Great place to study, work, hang out.

Start…read morewith parking: they have a tiny lot in front of the coffee shop but it's always full (I've never found a spot there - ever). Good news is, you can park in the big parking lot on front of Hando's and walk from there. Not ideal when the weather sucks, but you don't really have a choice. And though the coffee shop's address is technically off Long Point, you can't see it from Long Point. It's on the other side of the shopping center. Google Maps does a good job showing you where the entrance is. The ambiance: I love how spacious the coffee shop is. There is plenty of seating and I appreciate that. The staff are also nice. Sometimes the line to order can get really long but that's because customers usually can't make up their minds. The menu is fairly extensive so pros and cons there. Now for the coffee: I've tried their speciality drinks, the hot brewed coffee, and flat white. They are all OK. Not bad but not great. Not enough strong coffee flavor in my opinion. Flavors are a little off but get the job done. Prices are fair - maybe a tad on the pricey side. Worth it if you're going to sit inside the coffee shop and get work done or meet up with friends. I would go here to meet with friends but not necessarily for the best coffee in town.

Great ambience inside and large community tables if you're there with numerous individuals. Free WiFi for the first two hours. Heather biscuit and their spicy jam is incredible. Pro tip: You can download their app and get rewards Negative: While I appreciate the large community tables, I wish there were smaller tables for one individual, but this really isn't a dealbreaker as you can see Recommendation for the owner: With so many unique lattes, I wish there was an option to get a flight of them

I told her they need to update this information online because it says they're dog friendly. She said only the patio is dog friendly. I said this needs to be specified especially since you have to go inside to order and order at the bar. She rolled her eyes turned around and didn't respond to me. That being said, both times I've come here here I've gotten the seasonal pandana latte and it's been very good. I would like do come back and try the food but I'm not going to support a place that doesn't have accurate information online and has rude staff when you try to help them correct it.
