I decided to try this place on a rainy day. Overall, they have plenty of drinks to choose from, but I went with the famous Vietnamese coffee. The coffee was good, but it lacked a little bit biter and sweetness. Drinks range from $5-7. Store does not have many seats indoor. The service was exceptional. Will be back to try more! read more

The wait is finally over! Inside was spacious, tons of seating for you to enjoy. One of my families go to places for durian smoothie. For durian lovers, I totally recommend!! Finally got to try it. It was creamy and rich and the durian flavor was so fresh! If you're not too big of a fan of durian, they do the avocado durian combo which has a good combination of both, and the durian is not too strong. They do have other drink options as well! Totally recommend!! read more

Every time I visit Houston, this is my favorite place to go. My go to drink is the durian smoothie. It's blended so well with the most exotic taste. It brings me back to so many memories of being here when I was younger. Durian is an exotic taste, not everyone will like it. But if you do like that fruit, then this drink is definitely worth trying. The service is always splendid, they are always so friendly. Plenty of parking spots and the ambiance has always been the same, Clean and spacious. You can do work here as well or even just sit and hangout. Prices are reasonable - the Durian is around $8. It's typical now and days for boba drinks to be $7+. Their other drinks are also tasty. I've tried their durian avocado, coconut matcha, and royal milk tea. read more

Theirs has a creamier filling and is way better than the dry ones at your regular coffee spot. So many other flavors of smoothies and teas to choose from. Even hot food available. Plus a drive through option. read more

Long Coffee's Cafe Sua Da does not disappoint! If I had to compare, I'd say they're like the SB of the Vietnamese community only way better. Who doesn't love a strong coffee on the go? One of my biggest pet peeves in DFW is having to go into a small mom-and-pop restaurant just to grab a strong coffee and leaving smelling like pho. But Long Coffee? Problem solved. (Please open one up north!) If you're a fan of bold, flavorful coffee, this spot is definitely worth trying! read more

Basically this place is nothing special just a rip off of Star bucks and every other coffee place . I'm surprised that they don't do boba drinks here because the coffee cups actually scream boba drinks and not coffee. The coffee here has that watery taste to it and it's definitely bad quality because you can tell they put wayy too much water and no ice in your coffee. The prices here needlessly to say just buy a coffee maker and make it yourself instead of over paying $60 for a crappy cup of joe . The staff here ya bright star bucks takes forever this place is slow as snail to get your drink to your also the personalities of the staff make ya wanna throw a piping hot cup of coffee at them . Overall long coffee more like this place will scam your of money and time coffee. read more

I had just had dinner at Kim son and needed a pick me up because I had to study for an upcoming exam. Long coffee was right outside and I had never tried it before, so I figured this was the perfect time to try it. I got their cafe sua da iced in the drive through. I was the only car in it so there was barely any wait. The drinks here were insanely cheap. As for the coffee, it had good viet coffee flavor but I felt it could've been a bit more stronger.

Inconsistency is their downfall. Their durian avocado smoothie has been my favorite drink for months, however it's hit/miss depending on the day. Lately, the smoothie has been lacking in durian and been more watery. They also have increased the price to $9 from $6.75 in the span of a week which is quite a steep jump. read more

I don't make it out to Houston very often; but when I do, it's in search of delicious food. Hitting up my foodie plaza, I gotta get that caffeine fix first. We've been to Long Coffee twice around 10amish, and the drive thru line was pretty fast. There were maybe 1 or 2 cars in front of us. Love that drive thru option, so we can quickly move on to our next destination. Let's talk drinks! *Cafe sua da: If you want something creamy and strong, get this classic Vietnamese iced coffee. *Hot salted caramel latte: The latte had a nice taste and was not overly sweet. They also offer this in decaf for those wondering. *Royal artichoke: One of the popular herbal drinks if you're not feeling like coffee that day. It's refreshing with added toppings. I didn't get a chance to go inside, but they do have a patio outside. We were eyeing the popcorn chicken, but their kitchen does not open till 11am. Overall, we had a pleasant experience and will be back the next time we're in town. read more

This location has a drive-through for quick service as well as and indoor and outdoor seating. It would be a lovely place to hang with friends! I ordered a frozen Cafe Sua Da and sea salt foam coffee. Both drinks were so darn good with rich coffee flavor! This is definitely the place to come if you're craving Vietnamese coffee.

Dropped in to get some coffee after a lunch. It had a nice clean vide with plenty of indoor and outdoor space to lounge. The service was fast and friendly. We ordered Vietnamese ice coffee, Cafe Sua Da and Frozen Coffee Cafe Sua Da. The ice coffee was very good, It had a good blend of sweetness and bitterness. I would recommend if you like Cafe Sua Da. The Frozen coffee was one of the best frozen coffee drinks I have ever had. I honestly could have drake 3 of these. It was hands down better that a frappe. I would recommend and return. read more

This place is always very busy when I am driving by. Luckily, there wasn't a line so I decided to give it a try. The guy taking orders in the drive thru lane was not very helpful. At first he said I could customize any drink but every order I asked about initially could not be customized so I just asked for a cappuccino with oat milk. I had to ask for some sugar when I got the drink and I got a look that it was a weird request so I asked if the drink was already sweetened and he said no, it wasn't. And then I asked for a stirrer and got the look that I was asking for too much. I'm not sure if I would come back here again. Maybe if I did I would avoid the drive thru. The drink wasn't even good. read more

Long Coffee is in the same plaza as Kim Son. There is plenty of parking. This drink shop even has a drive-thru. They have several tables inside and some seating outside in a patio area. I don't know why but the door is locked from the outside, so people in the patio area can't get in. The Royal Artichoke is a must try. I got it less sweet, but I loved the herbal flavor and all the toppings inside. There were chia seeds and various fruit. The Vietnamese coffee is strong! read more

Would 10/10 recommend the frozen cafe sữa đá! It's amazing, it's like what I want my ideal coffee flavored ice cream to taste like without it being super heavy! I've also tried the strawberry milk tea (I love this shade of pink). It's not as sweet as I thought it would be but I like it better that way and it has some real strawberry slices in it. The royal milk tea was ok, just a little too creamy for my taste but it wasn't anything too special. Also the boba was nice and chewy but it wasn't so hot that it made your drink warm, so I would definitely recommend! read more

Their durian smoothie was so good that I had to drink immediately before even snapping a picture! Highly recommend Long Coffee. I'm from Austin but every time I'm in Houston, I have to stop by for a durian smoothie. No need to change the sweetness because it's perfect. Chunks of real durian pieces will bring happiness to you in every sips. Lychee milk tea is another great option, but I often go for Longan milk tea. You honestly can't find Longan milk tea anywhere else, except Long Coffee. However, this is not on the menu. They can make it for you if you ask for it (a little hit or miss, sometimes they can't), but if you're in the area, try to ask for it. Fast service, simple shop. You know you're in an authentic Vietnamese coffee shop when you see all Vietnamese uncles sitting in the shop at 8am in the morning. Highly recommend read more

The drinks are all right drinks nothing to ride home about, but they're good nonetheless The food there is good as well however pricing is questionable for some of the things like the butterfly shrimp which gives you six pieces for six dollars in my eyes if it was 12 pieces or at least 10 I wouldn't be complaining however this is absurd and a total rip off. I thought I'd get more than this. Rushed, but it's to be expected with a bunch of highschoolers that doesn't care about them as much It's a bunch of people gathering outside it'd be nice if there are more places like this that's also better than this Just make sure you ask for quantity of food compared to what you're paying because I would rather just gotten food elsewhere and get my monies is worth My advice for improvement? Stop being stingy with the food per dollar value. read more

Royal Artichoke Tea ($4.85): I have a newfound love for artichoke tea. Sounds weird but it's herbal tea with longan, jellies and basil seeds. Usually I have to adjust my drinks to a lower sweetness level but normal sweetness was fine for me! It's a very refreshing and light drink. Long Coffee has a drive thru which is very convenient.

My experience at this other coffee place didn't worked well so I been craving for a good coffee. I was in the area and noticed this place had a drive thru so I went in line. Looking at yelp pictures and I saw that they have artichoke tea so I placed an order of that. The other place that I tried it from was super good. So i cant pass on it. The pictures on Yelp, the label for this drink said no BB. I thought the drink came with boba and people just ordered it without. The drink doesn't come with boba! It just how they enter it. So confusing lol anyway, sadly this drink was only ok. Maybe the place I got it at the first time was just too good. The artichoke flavor here was weaker and there was too much jelly in it. It overpowered the artichoke flavor. The coffee here was pretty good because it was strong but not super strong. At the first sip, it might hit you a bit hard like Oo it's bitter but after a few sips, it got better. I even left it til the next day and it was still good.

Long Coffee has quickly turned into one of our favorite spots for boba! The first time I went, my friend & I both ordered the durian furi, which is amazing (if you like durian, which seems to be something people either love or hate)! I've also tried the pina colada and taro coconut frozen drinks - so creamy & delicious. For both of these drinks I would recommend asking for 1/2 sugar. My fiancé & I recently tried the coffee options here which were great as well. If you're looking for something sweet, their frozen coffees are delicious and more like a coffee dessert.

Houston's Vietnamese coffee scene is incredibly strong, but not all cups are created equal. What I loved about this one was how rich, bold, and deeply coffee-forward it was without ever tasting burnt or bitter. The coffee had that intense Vietnamese coffee flavor you want while remaining smooth and balanced from start to finish. Paired with the pandan, it was a perfect combination. The pandan added subtle vanilla-like and floral notes along with just the right amount of sweetness. Best of all, it was not overly sweet, which is where a lot of specialty coffee drinks miss the mark for me. The flavors complemented each other beautifully without either one overpowering the other. That said, this place is chaotic. If you're in a rush, I probably would not recommend it. My coffee took about 20 minutes, and the operation felt busy and hectic. Honestly, though, it was worth the wait to try authentic, high-quality Vietnamese coffee in Houston. If pandan is not your thing, don't worry. They have a huge menu with plenty of other coffee and drink options to choose from. For coffee lovers, this is the kind of place worth seeking out. Houston continues to impress me with its Vietnamese food and coffee scene, and this spot is another reason why.

I'd…read moresay that the staff were still figuring out their operations or it was just a bad day because they messed up my husband's drink and were trying to charge us for a 2nd drink but we clarified that what they gave us was not what we had ordered. And it turned into a situation where we had to tell the manager that the way to fix it was to just to make the new drink correct and give us the 1st drink because it was more than the drink we initially wanted. The other drinks we got were good and my family didn't complain about their drinks. I think service could be better but I understand they were still probably figuring out their operations. The whole place is concrete, and kept very simple. Even the bathroom door blends into the wall and I wouldn't have known how to go to the restroom had I not seen someone go before me. It's nice and clean inside. Great for groups which is what I typically see on weekends with the line out the door.

A spot dedicated to tiramisu treats (as well as mousse cakes, panna cotta, cookies, and croffles)…read moreand pretty drinks that is open all day? Count me in! The inside is mostly white and going for that IG "it spot" vibe. Most people were ordering their drinks that come with a little slice of tiramisu, but we were there to try just the latter! The tiramisu varieties aren't all truly tiramisu (which traditionally has espresso and alcohol), but they're called tiramisu because there are cookies or ladyfingers layered with their mascarpone cream. I tried the Biscoff Tiramisu-- while they could work on their presentation (the filling looked messy and slapped on), the taste was quite nice! Sweet, creamy, and the mascarpone filling was light and not too heavy despite being sweet and indulgent. I'm excited to try the other tiramisu varieties :D I like how the tiramisu comes in its own container instead of scooped into a takeout box because it's a lot less messy + prettier when eating it. Service was really friendly and there is self-serve water available too. Lots of tables for two but they were all taken during my visit. There's a little table outside in the shade if you're willing to sit in the heat. Overall, 4.5 stars for the tiramisu-- will be back to try some more! Check them out next time your sweet tooth calls :)

The decor is minimalist with several plants inside. The service is also friendly but they do take a while to make your drinks, but I honestly don't care as long as it's good. I decided to get 4 drinks. Ube cream coffee, Mango matcha, Fresh pineapple mango tea & Jasmine cloud tea. The ube cream coffee was by far my favorite, bold flavors and the coffee itself was very strong without it being bitter. The mango matcha was also solid, just wish the matcha was stronger but I do like that they added lots of mango bits. Fresh pineapple mango was fine but the pineapple syrup overpowered the flavor of the tea. My least favorite was the Jasmine cloud tea, it wasn't terrible but the tea wasn't strong, very subtle. The drink was saved by their cheese foam, can't go wrong with that. Overall, it's a good spot. No complaints. I can't wait to come back and try their desserts. I think they're good for their tiramisu.

Not sure if the texture changed since they were packaged hot & sweated in the to-go container, but they were rubbery & really not sweet at all. Since i don't live anywhere near this location, I am not apt to make a return visit.
