    Unlike the Kona Reserve locations popping up around town, the Kona Roastery is the lab where many of the beans are roasted. It also happens to be one of my favorite places to sit down for a little caffeine, a little snack, and lots of laptop / WiFi action. There is plenty of parking and the decor is most definitely on point. For a pseudo flagship roastery location, it still 100% has the relaxing cafe vibe and it's a space that is ideal for meetings or a little downtime to fill the daytime void. Their food items are only available till 2pm daily. They include a lot of Hawaiian specialties such as nice variety of musibis ($4-5 each), pastries, bagels, and croissant sandwiches. Their gelato is a special treat for the warmer weather days and not something I'd expect to find at any cafe. Speaking of WiFi, it's super fast. It's the kind of speed where the HD rarely lags and 4K is more than a reality. This alone makes it extremely appealing to work from here and I always end up spending more time than I would have allotted here. As for the roastery itself, it's an interesting space that is situated in the middle of the room. While most of the time it's remained empty, it is always a treat whenever there is someone working to give folks a behind the scenes (#1) look at some of the work they do. It's just another wrinkle that makes this an awesome destination in Katy. ___________ (#1) Or on display?

    Kailua Latte with oat milk at 50% sweetness
    Anne Q.

    This coffee shop is a true gem, serving as the ultimate study and work haven. You can expect a positive experience thanks to the friendly and accommodating staff. They've got an a great coffee menu with refreshing smoothie options too. But some of their Signature drinks are a bit too sweet for my taste, so I always ask for less sweetness. My favorite is the Kailula Latte with oat milk and 50% sweetness. The place is perfect for working, with its bright and airy space and lots of seating. It's my go-to spot for a great cup of coffee and a productive work session. So glad you exist Kona Roastery!

    Discovered a new remote work gem I stumbled upon this place while looking for new spots to work remotely and I'm so glad I did. There's plenty of seating, much more than most coffee spots I usually visit. The greenery and ambiance create such a calm, inviting vibe. The staff were super friendly and welcoming. I do wish there were more food options but overall it's a great place to get things done. I had a vanilla latte and absolutely loved it.

    My matcha latte and croissant sandwich were excellent. I fell in love with the interior and the ambiance was so soothing. I'm truly a sucker for a beautiful space while enjoying delicious food and drinks. The matcha latte was creamy, not too sweet and perfectly earthly. I inhaled my croissant as it was delicious. I couldn't have chosen a better place to get some work done.

    Cute coffee shop. Has a Hawaiian theme. They sell baked goods, coffee, and some savory food. It was our first time here. They had some lattes that we had to ask about because we weren't sure what was in them. My husband tried the Shakelatto with cream. He said it was a very strong coffee flavor. I tried it and it was too strong for me. I tried the Kalie latte. It sounded good - cinnamon bun, brown sugar and vanilla. It was too sweet for me. Maybe half the pumps of syrup needed. The staff was friendly. I wish they had the descriptions of each latte easily shown. I'd go back to try something else. And I wouldn't mind trying their food.

    Very confused on why this has a five star rating nearly. Ordered a flat white to go and it took about 20 minutes at 10 AM on a Saturday morning. The flat white had such a subtle flavor. You can't even taste the coffee and they used way too much oat milk. Their proportions are incorrect for what a flat white should be. There was absolutely no care put into the coffee itself. My husband ordered a latte and there was no care into the latte art or the way that the milk was steamed. There are much better coffee shop options in the area.

    Kailua Latte
    Colton P.

    First impression walking in, I thought the place was really cute! I really liked the plants that they had! It was pretty quiet, lots of other customers doing work or chatting amongst themselves. The barista recommended we try the Kailua and Aloha Lattes off the specialty menu that's what we got. Both of the lattes were pretty good! The Kailua was like a sweet oat milk cinnamon latte and the Aloha one was pretty close to a white mocha. This coffee shop was pretty quiet and chill so I'd really recommend if you want a nice place to go and do work or study! We didn't get a chance to try any of the other things they offered but we definitely wanna come back and try some of the musubi and the smoothies!

    Hawaii cafe in Katy? Yes please! I love how airy the vibe is with their high ceilings. Great place to relax, hang out with family/friends, study, coffee/tea date, etc. is it quiet? No. Moderate voice volume where you can still focus. I specifically enjoyed their Kona Club sandwich. Aloha latte was good but I wish they would indicate what coffee/expresso has tree-nuts for those with tree-nut allergies to stay away from on the main menu on the wall or at least on their website. Vietnamese iced coffee was meh. I can taste it but it wasn't done correctly. They honestly need to perfect it or just take it off the menu. Service is always friendly. I saw an older lady giving one of the girls a hard time about a ceramic mug cup vs to-go cups but they handle the situation in a friendly matter. Good amount of parking spaces, shared with Shell gas station on a corner.

    Unique experience embodying the best of coffee, you can get a delectable, complex, fruity bean (volcanic soil, Kona Hawaii duh) that's been FRESHLY roasted before your very eyes WHILE you drink it, so pretty much the highest quality you can get anywhere and it's done proper with a taster making batches to each level (light medium dark) on the spot, so they have the local accuracy in small quantities to actively derive the maximum potential from each bean live, and it shows if u just try a cup, there's a beyond subtle difference even over other specialty local coffee shops because of this painstaking effort. Yes it's 'expensive' but only slightly more than a crap cup you'd get anywhere else and it's way more than worth it. This side of town I know where I'm going for good coffee. Yes they have nitro and yes it's amazing here, I'm sorry I like my cold brew, as shallow as that makes me about coffee, I just love the smoothness & low acidity which to me brings out a diff flavor profile unmatched by hot, and more caffeinated thank u. For many years now I've made this a regular stop, do try!

    Lavender matcha oatmilk latte - 10/10 - $8 - Absolutely loved both the matcha and lavender flavors in this. I got it with half lavender and it was a perfect amount. The oatmilk made the drink creamier. This spot has lots of seating, great for doing work or studying! The prices for the cup sizes are a bit high (which is normal these days) but besides that I loved this spot!

    Kona pour over is all you need to know! Makes me miss Hawaii . Lots of parking, lots of room to lay about and WiFi. No loud music

    What happened? Tasted like a "Rookie" latte. Breve and white mocha latte lacking the usual flavor & aromatics.
    Arienne H.

    Nice ambiance. Our go to place to grab a cup of coffee with friendly staff. But what happened? Breve and white mocha lattes are usually beautifully presented and flavorful. Recommended this place for friends and family to try yesterday and they said both were lacking flavor & aromatics. "Tasted like a Rookie latte." Maybe new staff in training? We've always enjoyed Kona Roastery so I hope they could maintain their quality.

    So I just bought a blueberry lemon muffin from Kona haven and I'm on a dairy free diet...I've looked at the website and I can't find if these muffins contain dairy...do they?

    I believe it does contain dairy. But you might want to double check with them by calling. Hope this helps

For example, with the Turkish delights and ice cream selections, only a few items are labeled. For most of them, you have to guess the flavor or ingredients. When I asked questions, there was a language barrier, and the staff member behind the counter was unable to clearly explain what the items were in English. This can be especially frustrating for customers with food allergies or dietary restrictions. In the U.S., I would expect all flavors and ingredients to be clearly labeled so customers can make informed choices. Even if staff members are not fluent in English, having accurate labels for flavors and ingredients would greatly improve the customer experience. The desserts themselves are excellent, but better product labeling would make the experience much more enjoyable and accessible for everyone.

Given that weve had to give up so much in the coffee drinking experience we try and get what we do consume to taste as fresh as possible so weve turned to getting our decaf beans roasted locally. Weve tried a couple of places in Houston and just recently came across District Coffee. Once we checked their website and made sure it was swiss water processed and not bathed in paint stripper chemicals we decided to give them a try... the head roaster Alex is a humble guy who has a family operated business near the 249/Cypress area. I drove out to the District headquarters to pick up a pound of decaf and Alex gave me a tour around the facility which was modest, but professional. Before i left, Alex asked about the reason for decaf and i explained that we mix it with regular to create a half caff blend and with that he walked over to a bin in the shop and pulled out an additional bag of whole bean half caff blend of their signature roast and said it was "on the house" since i had come all the way out from the Sugar Land area. Wow. Now that was unexpected and also very nice considering gas costs near four bucks these days. We just had a pour over cup of that this morning and it was very, very smooth. If the regular whole bean decaf is anywhere close to the smoothness of this signature half caff roast we will most likely add District coffee to our regular rotation of coffees for our morning routine. Thanks Alex. Good luck to you and your family and we'll spread the word about your brand. Take care.
