The staff was incredibly friendly from the moment I walked in. I ordered a churro latte with whipped cream and it was absolutely delicious. I also grabbed a blueberry muffin, and they warmed it up perfectly. The outside had a slight crisp while the inside stayed soft and moist. The atmosphere is what really sold me. There are cute outdoor tables, cornhole games, fun artwork throughout the space, and a welcoming vibe that makes you want to stay awhile. I pulled out my laptop and got some work done comfortably, but I was pleasantly surprised to discover they also serve alcoholic beverages and stay open later in the evening. It feels like a coffee shop and neighborhood hangout all in one. Whether you're looking for a place to work remotely, meet friends, enjoy a coffee date, or spend time with family, I highly recommend checking this place out. I'll definitely be back!

Stopped by CoffeeTrend to try some coffee and a cocktail and was surprisingly disappointed…read more I saw mixed reviews about this coffee shop online, but I'm always open to forming my own opinion. As a coffee lover with an adventurous palate, I was excited to give it a try. Unfortunately, this experience was unrewarding. We ordered three drinks the Anna's Special, iced white chocolate almond latte with almond milk, and an iced pistachio vanilla latte with almond milk and none of these drinks lived up to their names nor the listed ingredients that were listed. The coffees in my opinion were flavorless, watery, and underwhelming. We picked a cocktail at random to try which was the Anna's Special and trust me there was nothing special about this drink other than the prices. This establishment has some really good price options when it comes to coffee, cocktails, pastries, wines, and other beverages. The barista's were very friendly, welcoming, and sweet. The restaurant offered indoor and outdoor seating with cute colorful pictures, artwork, and signatures on the wall. Would I return? Maybe not

I've visited this hidden gem twice. The first time, I was passing by and decided to stop in because I wanted to see exactly what it was all about. My second visit was for an event hosted there, "Pride & Progress". During my first visit, I took the opportunity to try a flight of their in house spirits, including tequila, whiskey, vodka, and gin. They were all great on their own and also worked well in cocktails. I also tried a flight of beers, but unfortunately, they all tasted flat, which was disappointing considering how great the other beverages were. The service during my first visit was amazing. My experience during the second visit wasn't quite as pleasant, but I assumed the difference may have been due to the event taking place and the staff being overwhelmed. Drop of the Creator may look small from the outside, but once you step inside, it's spacious, bright, sophisticated, and beautiful. There are plenty of different areas to gather, making it a great spot for a variety of occasions. I haven't had the opportunity to try their food yet, but I'm definitely looking forward to giving it a try on my next visit. I've already recommended Drop of the Creator to many friends, family members, and colleagues because I genuinely think it's a great local spot that more people should experience.

We've been working on getting out here for months! Located in the heart of the Meyerland area, you…read morewouldn't know it existed unless someone told you. Which someone obviously did. A bunch of friends that are local, to be precise. We came out on a Wednesday, which is trivia night. Parking was easy at the time. We arrived, but could get a bit iffy during a rush. The interior is well decorated. The lounge looks very comfortable. We were in the back bar area where the events take place. The bar tenders were really efficient, we didn't wait long for anything. We did t play trivia, but wish we had. The host was hilarious, and the trivia topics were broad. We will definitely be back for this again. Drinks were very good. Average modern day pricing at $12-$15 a drink. Food was also very good, though a little pricey at $18/ 12"pizza. I'm not hating on quality, just a tough bill to swallow. Not sure if there's a happy hour but would totally show up for that. They have their own brand of liquors, and also brew their own beers. Like most breweries in the South, the have lighter fair. No stouts, or the like. The heaviest they make are likely the larger or amber. They have a red as well. I stuck to liquor this trip, but will update with a beer review. Overall great spot, a little pricey but you're also getting good things in a chill area instead of the heights midtown, Montrose, or some other congested inconvenient area (for us outer-loopers).

My wife loved her iced latte and I made short work out of my hot cappuccino. The drinks were made very well and they use Katz Coffee....me likey! We'll be back for more goodies!

I said it was an order to go since they were about to close, but the very friendly lady told us that we could sit down. We ordered a Rafaello's Pizza for $34 (we were a party of 3), and we loved it! A little pricey, but it was worth it. Today I went again, we ordered Rafaello's Pesto Pasta and a Caprese. So far what I liked the most was the pizza, you should try it!

This is based on the produce I picked up from the booth at the Fall Creek Bend's Farmers Market…read more Plant It Forward empowers refugees by setting aside some land for each farmer to grow their own produce and partners up with markets for a place for them to sell within the community. The produce I bought had been harvested the day before. The lettuce looked delicate but didn't get damaged en route to the house in a tote bag next to a loaf of sourdough and a container of sliced broccolini. It was tastier than expected, had a leafy but not weak flavor, and was easy to clean. The broccolini was hardy and had a sweet yet earthy flavor while eaten raw. Usually I find broccolini to be more grassy but was surprised at how sweet it was. The produce was still good when I ate it all on Friday.

Plant It Forward is a non-profit company that offers outstanding local, organic produce at seasonal…read morefarm stands & through its CSA farm share program. This is grown by Congolese refugees each given a 1/2 acre plot w/in Houston, & the training necessary to farm it. The company is exceptionally good at maintaining the quality of its produce. Everything we bought over the summer, at the U St. Thomas farm stand, & received in our CSA shares in the fall & winter were unparalleled, relative to produce we've bought at farmers' markets here & in VT; from Abel & Cole grocers, in the UK; and even from Home Sweet Farm, in Brenham. Excepting a few boring mandarins, everything was gorgeous & tasty, the varieties, well-chosen, and all had been carefully picked & cleaned, ready to go directly from farm to table. But you needn't take my word re. Plant It Forward's quality--some of the most acclaimed restaurants in town use Plant It Forward's produce, too, inc. Underbelly, Uchi, Coltivare, Oxheart, Local Foods, Sparrow, Dish Society, Down House, etc. And let's face it, if it's good enough for their chefs, it's probably good enough for you & yours. If, like us, you opt to join the CSA, you'll receive at least 6-8 types of vegetables in each share, grown by a single farmer. Our share sometimes includes other local goodies, too. We've gotten honeycomb, pecan & rosemary infused honey, bread, Java Pura coffee, the mandarins, & Republic of Texas oranges. We even got a reusable Plant It Forward bag, just for being new members. This year, expected winter produce includes kale, spinach, collards, radishes, beets, carrots, turnips, Swiss chard, French sorrel, arugula, salad mixes, bok choy, cabbage, celery, cilantro, dill, fennel, & green onions. Sugar peas will be available in winter & early spring. Expected spring produce includes tomatoes, peppers, radishes, beets, eggplant, summer squash, green beans, arugula, cucumbers, collards, kale, fennel, mint, and other herbs. Expected summer produce includes winter squash, edamame, eggplant, peppers, okra, arugula, basil, cucumbers, green onions, roselle, malabar spinach, & maybe cantaloupe & watermelon. See my pics for fall produce. (More to follow.) You can pick-up farm share produce in Montrose (at Plant It Forward Farm-U St. Thomas), Greenway/UK (Urban Harvest Eastside Farmer's Market), Rice Village (Local Foods), Sunset Heights, Southwest Houston (Plant it Forward Warehouse), Meyerland (both at the JCC & ERJCC Bertha Alyce School), South Main, Greater Fondren Southwest, Westbury, Sugarland, or Pearland. Or try Plant It Forward's veg at one of their seasonal farm stands, at Urban Harvest Eastside Farmers' Market, the University of St. Thomas, Braeswood Church, or Westbury Community Garden. Presently, the full cost of a CSA share starts at $580 for a 25 week season, $1120 for a 50 week season, for those paying by check, one month before the start of the next growing season. Though, near the end of the last growing season, we received a coupon for $10 off the price of the 25 week season or $20 off that of the 50 week season. So the cost of a share currently starts at $22 per week. This is a steal, compared to the cost of a Local Box from Greenling ($35.99 per week, for a comparable amount of produce, some of which comes from Plant It Forward Farms, anyway) or a share from Home Sweet Farm ($36 per week). And as Plant it Forward's farms are located in Houston, itself, if you live in Houston, you'll be getting truly local veg, rather than produce grown up to 100 miles away. Best of all, Plant It Forward offers not just outstanding produce, but outstanding customer service too. This season, I failed to spot that pick-up times had changed--my bad. But Farm Share Program Manager, Kassy R. went above and beyond, switching us to a pick-up point & time that worked for us, then switching us again to one that works even better. *Thanks, Kassy.* So Plant It Forward's employees aren't just relying on your bleeding heart goodness. They actually want your business. Wow. The winter growing season started this week. Stop by one of Plant It Forward's farm stands to purchase their produce, or contact Kassy at Kassy@Plant-It-Forward.org to join their farm share program. In all, Plant It Forward offers truly exceptional locally-grown, organic produce at a fair price, & offers outstanding customer service too. It also helps refugees earn a good standard of living. How can you argue with all that? Plant It Forward is a great cause & a great solution. Special thanks to Gretchen P. for mentioning Plant it Forward on Talk-Houston. This is the single best business I've found using Yelp. And we weren't even looking to join a CSA farm share program. But this one was just too good to pass up.
