    Miso walnut cookie (vegan)
    Carlie L.

    Wonderful drinks and some of the best customer service we've ever experienced! Vivian went above and beyond telling us about the menu and how she crafts each drink and baked good. I highly recommend coming here, even if it's a bit out of your way!

    Banana bread:) Wasn't heavy in tummy, nice flavor without being sticky.

    The cafe is a hidden gem located in the Asian Society museum...but there is a door from the outside into the cafe. The outdoor seating is nice, dog friendly, and a misting system periodically goes off creating a light, cool breeze. They even validate parking in the lot across the street! I had the banana bread and a Japanese style cheesecake...both were delicious:). In chatting with the staff I learned that they use flour from a Texas farmers coop and it makes the breads not feel heavy in your tummy. The Asian inspired lunch meals aren't made with any fish bone meal, making them safe for folks like my friend with seafood allergies. Though menu is largely vegetarian it's not strictly vegetarian. My friend had the hot dog bites which were pieces of a quality hot dog wrapped in a light pastry shell...she liked them.

    Sesame noodles with , cucumbers, pickled julienned carrots w/brown sugar. Brown sugar matcha latte and jasmine pearls green tea

    I rarely go to Asia society unless there was something I was really interested. The last time was Christine Ha's book signing which was years ago. Back then I didn't realize they had a cafe. Fast forward to no, the cafe is called Kin Cafe. It is a vegan cafe. From the menu,, the vegan focus on the menu is discreet. I tried the sesame noodles with eggplant, pickled julienned carrots, kimchi and a touch of brown sugar. For the drink I tried brown sugar matcha and jasmine pearls green tea. The sesame noodles was a good balance of the peanut sauce and the slight kick of the kimchi. It was very satisfying. The brown sugar matcha was a good blend. None of the flavors overpower the other flavors. The ambience is very open since 2 sides have all mostly windows. It's the first thing you see when you walk in Asia society. It's nice place to chill and a great compliment to Asia society.

    I was skeptical of vegan foods, but Kin Cafe's are really good! It's not only healthy but also yummy. I will definitely come back again.

    THIS IS THE BEST CORTADO I'VE EVER HAD…read more Day 6 has been on my list for quite some. Upon arrival, I was met with excellent music and a warm greeting. Once I reached the counter, the gentleman helped me with selecting a coffee and even answered a few clarifying questions I had about ingredients. I got 2 cortados (I drank the first one so fast that I needed another one), a vanilla latte (sweet but balanced), and two croissants (almond and chocolate). My friends got a cheesecake latte (cupcake dominant and didn't have enough cookie butter flavoring), a white mocha hot chocolate (pretty good), and a blueberry muffin (amazingly soft, flavorful, and balanced). All together, I'll be coming back much more often!!!

    I really wanted to give this place 5 out of 5 stars, but here's my honest experience…read more The service was excellent, everyone was friendly and welcoming, so that's an easy 5/5. I also tried one of their muffins, and it was absolutely delicious. Another 5/5! The only thing that disappointed me was the coffee. I asked the barista for a recommendation and specifically mentioned that I wanted a coffee that wasn't too sweet. She recommended a drink, and I trusted her suggestion. Unfortunately, when I tried it, it was much sweeter than I was expecting. I understand recommendations are subjective, so I don't blame anyone,it just wasn't what I was looking for. Because of that, I'd give the coffee 1/5. It simply wasn't to my taste. Overall, the great service and delicious muffin were definite highlights, but the coffee experience brought my overall rating down to 3/5.

    I was truly so excited to finally try La La Land. We stopped by the Montrose location after we…read moregrabbed breakfast. The parking situation in the area wasn't great, but we made do. We street parked nearby and walked over. My boyfriend ordered the Keith Lee Latte, and I ordered Matcha Squared Latte. Both drinks were kept with whole milk and ordered the biggest size for both, as well. Luckily it wasn't busy at all when we arrived and didn't have to wait too long to get our drinks. The drinks were a dark, vibrant green, which is very promising. The quality of the cups and straws are great. I loved the cute little heart shape straws. The drinks tasted excellent. Not too sweet, milky, or bitter. I wish I lived near a La La Land because I want to try more of their drinks!

    I was in Houston for a few days and was looking for a caffeine pick me up one morning when I came…read moreacross La La Land, which a Houston-based relative told me was known for their cute drinks. It was a Wednesday morning with no line in sight so we thought we could quickly get a drink to go. Oh how naive we were. I went straight to the register and ordered an iced lavender latte, one of their signature drinks. They rung me up and told me where to wait for my drink. From there I saw a row of dozens and dozens of receipts for delivery orders, and a cycle of delivery drivers came in to collect these drinks to go. There really must've been dozens of orders ahead of me because it took over 30 mins for me to get my drink. I suppose if you're local you may already know to expect something like this at this popular coffee shop but I had no idea and there was no warning. Folks would go up to ask when their drink would be ready and the employees would exasperatedly go "If you don't see your name on one of these receipts your drink is NOT ready." I do understand their frustration with getting this question so much but they really should let people know when they're ordering, because this was not evident at all. The drink was fine. I think I would have enjoyed a similar drink at a place I didn't have to wait 30 minutes for.

    Great location, quality ingredients, and genuinely warm service, all tucked into a park setting in…read moreEaDo (or maybe SoDo--I'm still not sure what the neighborhood is officially called). A couple of friends and I wandered in early on a Sunday for breakfast/brunch. I ordered the scrambled‑egg and turkey‑bacon tacos with a flat white, one friend had the chilaquiles (he thought they could've used a bit more flavor and some avocado), and my other friend went for the French toast with an iced coffee. We had a great conversation over a delicious meal and solid coffee, and the steady stream of adorable dogs around us was the perfect bonus. I'd read some reviews complaining about the service, but ours was totally fine--especially for an early Sunday morning. It probably helps to be patient if they're short‑staffed, but we had no issues at all.

    Stopped by back to back mornings for coffee and pastries. The first day, I was overwhelmed with all…read morethe pastries they offered and spent more than I typically would at a coffee shop, but I was not mad. The avocado toast was good, they used fresh avocado. The toast was very crispy because of the type of bread but I enjoyed it. They also have yummy fresh pressed juice. I wish I would have stopped by for dinner, but did not get a chance. Next time I am in the area I will.
