Though im not a big coffee drinker, Buffalo Bayou Coffee has a nice selection for a quick pick me up. Ive been to a few coffee places not worth mentioning just to find good quality hot chocolate. Some places make them to milky(not enough chocolate) or too watery. That dark cloud was above my head about to storm but with Buffalo Bayou Coffee, I have found my silver lining . Its a small little cafe that over looks Crown Plaza Hotel patio outside but its also connected to the hotel as well. Located near at 601 Jefferson, its close to downtown parking (which is something you have to consider if you're not familiar with the area). With little tables to sit and admire the buildings outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, you can plug in your laptop and finish some work in a nice open area. Even with the foot traffic its still relatively quiet. Their selection isn't massive like Starbucks but everything they sell is of high quality. They even sell salads and scones and things of the like, even though it is a bit pricey. Maybe I'll run into some of my fellow yelpers during lunch one day. Cheers read more
