Parking was difficult to find because it was a Saturday but they said it's usually not bad during the week. The loaded bagel sandwich was so good! The bread was soft with a good flavor and the bacon & turkey sausage complemented each other well. One of my friends had bean and cheese tacos and she mentioned it was a nice touch to have with black beans instead of refried. The biscoff latte was highly recommended in the Yelp reviews and I am a biscoff girly so I figured I'd start there. 10/10. O also had a lemon poppy seed muffin. Super moist and decadent, enough to share!! I'm not crazy about matcha but for those that are you are able to cyo, by selecting your flavor syrup and cold foam with tons of creations available. They also have some staff favs if you're in the mood for something different! ** I subbed my milk for pistachio (never had before) and it was a nice touch So many seating options from booths, couches to tables. Can't wait to try more!

I also liked their savory food options better than their pastry options since those didnt taste as fresh. Overall decent spot for coffee and a quick bite if youre in the area. Also great spot to work at with many outlets and seats.

I especially liked the option for the drive thru and the self serve pastries and mochi donuts. We dropped in for dinner to try to viral egg sandwich. I ordered the bacon and cheese egg sandwich with a side of tater tot's. It took about 15 mins for the egg sandwich (Egg Box). It was delicious, had a nice buttery crisp to the bread with fluffy eggs and crispy bacon with just the right amount of cheese. However, the bread was really greasy for me, had to go wash my hands immediately after eating. The tater tots were not greasy, perfect temperature. My hubby ordered the pretzel dog. They realized they forgot about it when they delivered the sandwich so that took 10 mins after the initial order. I was finished with my sandwich by the time he got his food. The server apologized profusely for the mishap. They sell more savory items than I've seen at other locations such as croissant and brioche sandwiches, deli premade sandwiches, and tater tots. They have refrigerator with drink assortments. The cafe has a private conference room for rent $50/hr. There is plenty of parking at this center. If I'm in the area, I would swing by for a cup of coffee or a sandwich but I wouldn't drive out of my way to drop in.

Absolute gem! The best fusion coffee in Houston hands down…read more If you haven't checked out Mi Cà Phê yet, you are seriously missing out. It is easily one of my favorite spots in the city. What makes this place so special is the incredible cultural fusion. It's a Mexican-Vietnamese husband-and-wife-owned spot, and they blend those two flavor worlds perfectly. You can get incredible, traditional Vietnamese coffee and matcha, but their signature fusion drinks are out of this world! I've tried a few things on the menu, and the flavor pairings are genius. The Banana Mazapán, Horchata, and Tres Leches lattes are flawless, but then they hit you with Vietnamese-inspired staples like their Flan coffee, Saigon Banana, and Pandan Coconut. Nothing tastes artificial or overly syrup-heavy; the balance of rich, bold espresso with those creamy, distinct flavors is just spot on. Beyond the drinks, the hospitality is what keeps me coming back. You can tell they put so much heart and hard work into this business. Every time you drop by, the energy is incredibly warm, welcoming, and genuinely feels like family.

It was late in the day but the laidback decorated space was packed, music not too loud with a pleasant vibe. I asked if I could get the pistachio dream with oatmilk and the server recommended against it saying it would make the drink too sweet. I appreciated her honest advice and got the dragonfruit strawberry refresher instead. It was definitely refreshing with the perfect amount of ice to keep it cold but not water it down. I also tried one of the mini croissants which is probably what will keep me coming back. Flaky and full of high quality cheese and spices, I wish I had gotten two! I'll definitely come back at an earlier time since a lot of the pastries were sold out.

The Earl Grey Matcha had a nice blend of earthy matcha with subtle floral notes, while the Double Matcha was sweet, creamy, and great if you enjoy pistachio-flavored matcha lattes. My only critique is that both drinks were a bit sweeter than I expected. As the ice melted, they became a little watered down, so I'd recommend drinking them before that happens or asking for less ice. Overall, I enjoyed my visit and would come back to try more of their drinks.

I love Katz Coffee. I've been drinking their coffee and buying their beans for years from grocery…read morestores like HEB and even restaurants like Sunday Press. But in all my years as a Houstonian, I never made it out to their 2400 Karbach location... until now. I've been meeting up with a good friend weekly for coffee mostly on weekends, and we decided to try for a Friday morning so my Yelp search pulled up Katz. I had just read an article about Avi Katz (I'm a huge fan) in the Spring Branch magazine, so it was like it was meant to be! Now keep in mind they don't open until 9 am so it's not a good caffeine pick-me-up option for early risers nor those who need to get to the office before 9 am, but if you can make it during their business hours, it's certainly worth it. I'll walk you through the experience. I arrived to an empty parking lot at 8:45 am and sat in my car. Note: the lot isn't too big with limited spaces, but spots constantly open up after the morning rush) I started seeing other cars pull into the lot so I got out and hovered near the front door. By the time they opened (exactly at 9 am), the line was 10 people deep, but I was in front. I decided to go easy with a morning brew drip coffee so I wouldn't hold up the line behind me. And if you've read the reviews or you're familiar with how Katz's works - the coffee was free! That's my favorite f word. I sat down, enjoyed the nice ambiance (lots of seating and pleasant decor), chatted with my friend, and the rest is history. Staff are super nice and we chatted for a bit as well. I truly appreciate what Katz Coffee means to the local community, and I'll continue purchasing their high quality coffee beans to support the business, but also because I just really like their coffee. Enjoy!

I was today years old when I learned about Katz Coffee, and I have absolutely been missing out…read more FREE COFFEE, Y'ALL. And if you read their story on their website, it's actually really inspiring how Katz Coffee really gives back to the community with non-profits and other worthy organizations. Astounding and mind-blowing, actually. Parking is a bit limited here, which is a bit similar to the parking nearby at Karbach Brewery, but the parking here IS better than Karbach Brewing, and just a heads up, the gate in the back does open to those exiting the lot, so don't feel pressured to have to park in the front area - you can park along the side with the Katz trucks which is along a one-way road. One downside is the place opens at 9am, which perhaps doesn't lend itself to the pre-work, get-the-day-started crowd. Then again, it's free coffee, so this is so so understandable because the crowd would likely build to unfathomable levels if the place opened at, say, 6am. Plus, come on - the baristas are doing their part making free coffee for the customers, so obviously there is some grace here. It feels like the get-the-day-started-at-9am crowd for free coffee does tend to arrive the minute the place opens, so a line does tend to build for the first bit but then kind of dips back down again after the initial rush - something to keep in mind when planning your visit. The vibe is fantastic. So many tables, easy place to camp out and work or meet up with people. Really earthy interior design. The service is also top notch. Keep in mind these people are giving us free coffee, which Katz certainly doesn't HAVE to do. The baristas today during my visit were SO friendly and SO welcoming. I started with a drip coffee, which came blazing hot and fresh. Didn't add any creamers or sugar, and it was great. Then, for variety purposes, I tried their pumpkin chai latte. Delicious again. And again... FREE. It really doesn't get any better than this for bang for the buck, while also supporting community causes in Houston. So for those visiting, it is encouraged to perhaps buy a bag of coffee beans, whether it be for yourself or as a gift for others. The beans are obviously of great quality, given the taste. My thought is all of us should do our part to help ensure Katz Coffee is able to sustain their generous (and tasty) ways as much as we possibly can.
