My To-go Cream Americano and their Second Floor
Thurein P.

My Gemini AI (P) recommended to grab a coffee here before we (him, the AI, and I) start the "Arkansas Scenic 7 Byway" Scenic Drive. And was not disappointed at all. Amazing service, amazing atmosphere, jaw-dropping good special Cream American with a twist (the twist being the condensed milk which makes the coffee unique, aromatic and creamy).

Cloud donut seasonal latte
Bianca B.

The ground beef empanada was good but a tad cold in some spots but I was starving and it hit the spot. The cloud donut was the star of the show!! By far my new favorite drink!

Iced Chai latte
Jillian G.

If you're up at 6:30am, give this spot a try! The iced chai latte is so smooth and delicious. I will definitely be back! The baristas were all a delight. Everyone was very kind explaining menu options to this newbie. The ambiance is very LoFi chill with some outdoor, downstairs, and upstairs seating. It is a spot for small groups (4 max) either the table arrangements. Looks like a good spot for remote work, too!

I really want to like this place...... I do. But unfortunately I can't. The place is located in a shopping center and is very convenient. The overall look of the place is very rustic and modern. I truly think it was decorated well. It's on the smaller side but maybe there's seating upstairs. The two stars are for the chai tea latte being impeccable everytime I go. The breakfast tacos from Liberty Taco are good. Overall, no complaints with the food. The service is TERRIBLE. There hasn't been a time that I haven't gone in there and someone has been rude. This past time I online ordered 30 minutes before I got there. It wasn't ready when I got there. No worries! I asked the girl how long I should wait and she says, "I'm literally making it right now". This type of behavior in a customer facing role is completely unacceptable. I'm sure they deal with people that are rude and mad, but that's never been me. I would suggest customer service training for all of them.

Seating area upstairs

Today I came by and ordered the black island which contains charcoal powder,coconut milk and pandan. Other times when I come by I often order the Black Forest which is a mixture of charcoal powder and match. Every time I come by here I never leave disappointed as the drinks are very creative and tasteful as well. I always come in and order my drink and it never takes any longer than 10 minutes, most times less than that. The area is very large with two levels and the upstairs level even lets you look down to where they are making your drink, the music that they play is relaxing and not your typical playlist you hear when you go to most restaurants. Overall this place never disappoints so I will continue to come by here.

I come every time and get a charcoal drink because I'm obsessed with charcoal. It has suspected properties but it's those health things they don't have any research. You know what? I still love it and I can tell it does some tox stuff on me. They always get the flavors right with the coffee. Parking is actually not too bad anytime I've been. They have two spots in front dedicated to them and the juice bar next door but there's usually a decent spot in the lot.

This place is right next to an apartment building and I am glad I decided to stop by and try them out! The staff are always super nice and patient specially when they run into people that take a bit longer to look at the menu how I do. I tried an iced coffee and a lemon pastry and I have to say that I was amazed how something as simple as that combo was able to bring so much comfort. They have a cozy ambiance but maybe being a light sweater with you because I did get a little cold in there!

Inside second floor
Alejandro R.

Modern industrial vibes at this specialty café that roasts its own coffee and crafts some really good coffee drinks! I've tried several of their coffee bags for brewing at home and they are great! I have not yet tried any of their pastries but they look delicious. Vibe: Lots of space and a small patio area in front. Lots of seating and outlets on the second floor, great for working remotely. This is also a great place to meet up with friends and catch up! The decorations keep everything looking clean and organized with style. Service is excellent and the baristas are helpful. Food: On our most recent visit, we tried the cortado and mocha latte. The cortado was very creamy and the espresso was extraordinary! Mocha latte was also delicous, and had a good balance of sweetness from the chocolate to balance the espresso - not too sweet. I've tried their pourovers before and they have been consistently good. The prices are little on the pricey side but it comes with the quality.

I came by and ordered a little before noon a chai latte, which was prepared perfectly warm-hot, creamy, and just sweet enough. I asked for the ham and cheese croissant to be heated and wrapped, so that it wouldn't leak through the bag. The staff wrapped it in parchment paper, then inside a double open bag. After 5 minutes inside the bag, the croissant was still flakey and crunchy. The cheese and ham mix resembled a croque monsieur in flavor and texture.

black island
Andrea P.

Place was so good we went twice in one week. I got the Black Island without half and half and it was amazing. You can really taste the pandan, the coconut milk balances it well. I'm excited for them to open a location closer to home.

Island coffee hot and iced
Esther R.

First time trying an Island coffee and I can't have enough! I'm more of a hot coffee person but this coffee was good both ways (iced and hot ). I got a coconut flavor from the hot version but my son drank the iced one and got more of a nutty flavor. We both thought it was delicious. The place is very cool and although we didn't try anything else they have a decent selection of pastries. The location has an industrial look to it and was clean. Service was ok.

Iced matcha
AbbyNicolle Q.

Apologies in advance but it was so good i forgot to take a before picture ! This has to be one of the best iced matchas I've come across in Houston. It is perfectly balanced with the sweetness and taste like good quality matcha. The price was good, we bought two iced matchas and three breakfast tacos for $26. When you first walk in you're immediately greeted by the baristas , they're super friendly and helpful when you're not sure what To order. There was little to no wait for our drinks and we decided to eat inside. Everything was clean, they had nice calming music playing and the decor inside was cool, pretty industrial. Come Give them a chance ! You won't be disappointed:)

Matcha
Khalidah B.

The matcha here is always a 10/10 for me! It has the perfect amount of sweetness and makes wanna go back for multiple cups. The baristas are really nice and the shop is a great place to get work done away from home.

I did not end up eating or drinking here because of how my experience was handled from the moment I…read morewalked in. I specifically chose this location because they have a patio. They also have a spacious parking lot, which was convenient. Since I had my dog with me, I stepped inside briefly to confirm that the patio was open before settling in. I greeted the young woman at the counter and asked if patio seating was available. She responded, "Yes, because dogs are not allowed inside." That felt unnecessary. I was clearly asking about the patio for that exact reason. I was not attempting to sit indoors, and I understand health regulations. She then added that the Houston Health Department could walk in at any moment. Again, I was not trying to dine inside. I simply wanted to confirm patio access so I could enjoy a coffee outside. I asked if someone would be outside to take my order. She said no. So I asked if she could take my order right then so I could immediately head out to the patio. She agreed, but her tone and demeanor felt dismissive, which made the interaction uncomfortable. At that point, I decided to leave. If the patio is dog friendly, there should be a smoother process for solo customers with pets. A simple, "Yes, the patio is open. Let me take your order now so you can head outside," would have made this quick and easy. Advisory: If you are visiting with a dog, I would recommend bringing another person with you. If you are alone, the ordering process may be awkward, as you cannot remain inside with your dog while placing your order. I would have happily spent money here, but the service made the visit feel more procedural than welcoming.

This is where the greatness ends. Almond croissant was 3 stars. It's open faced with the almond paste dolloped on top in the middle, and then it's drowned in powdered sugar. No. Ordered a matcha separately after looking over the menu...requested to be made with oat milk and added vanilla syrup. Total for the drink alone was over $9 with the substitution/addition and it came in an Itty bitty tall size (Starbucks reference) cup. Bland, slightly gritty, nah. I am not a matcha purist, but I prefer it over coffee, and I got excited for vanilla flavor (basic, I know) only to be rewarded with nothing. Not sure if I would return to try other baked items. Stopped by because I thought there would be more kolache options but there was only one, which had pork (bacon) in it. Sigh.

Tenfold Coffee is what happens when an indie café decides to be genuinely cosmopolitan rather than…read moremerely pretend. Step inside and you'll find a wonderfully mixed crowd: tech people typing furiously, students contemplating existential dread over a flat white, fashion-forward creatives in boots so white they defy known urban physics -- and yes, that includes me. One corner of the room is charmingly not quite tidy, as if the café itself were whispering: "Relax. Real life happens here." Industrial ducts snake overhead, large windows flood the space with natural light, and sociability seems to circulate as freely as the air. Now, the coffee: a revelation. The espresso is concentrated civilization -- exactly as it should be -- and the cappuccino is an elegant balance of foam and depth, not one of those half-liter dairy-fatigue exercises from anonymous multi-national chains-that-shall-not-be-named. The staff? Friendly, knowledgeable, and disarmingly competent -- the sort of people who know precisely why this bean tastes like citrus and chocolate instead of simply shrugging at the universe. In sum: Tenfold isn't just a café; it's a microcosm of a city that thrives on difference. A place where everyone, no matter their background, finds caffeine, community, and a seat at the table. For all of that -- the atmosphere, the humanity, the coffee artistry -- five stars, unequivocally.

The listing for this exact location says "pets welcome," so I felt confident stopping by. However, as soon as I walked in, I was greeted by two customers fawning over my dog. Before any staff member greeted me or even acknowledged me as a customer, someone from behind the far counter told me that dogs were not allowed inside. I mentioned that their Google listing says pets are welcome, and the response was that it applies to a different location. That would be fine if it were clear, but the listing I checked had this location's address directly underneath "pets welcome." That is confusing and misleading. What made it more frustrating was the lack of hospitality. There was no greeting, no attempt to clarify kindly, no "We're sorry for the confusion," and no effort to offer a solution like helping me quickly order to go. It felt dismissive. Clear and accurate information matters. If pets are not welcome at this location, the listing should reflect that. I drove out of my way based on that detail, and it ended up being a waste of time and gas. Because of that experience, I chose not to patronize the this location but may try another location one day.

I believe the first time I came here. I had some breakfast tacos and an iced latte which I did really enjoy. Today I went, and I had a chorizo empanada, a Horchata doughnut, and the Neapolitan latte. The empanada was nice and hot, I do wish it was a little more flavorful but next time I'll probably just add some hot sauce or something. The inside looks really cozy however I didn't stay and eat there since I had my pets in the car. The Horchata doughnut was interesting, was not what I was expecting, but didn't hate it. The Neapolitan latte taste like dessert, was definitely on the sweeter side which the cashier had warned me of. But overall, I really enjoyed it. I do love that they use Bendy straws, it's one of the only coffee shops I've been to that has consistently used them lol.

Normally I avoid rosca because the bread as I mention is dry or too hard but this one was very good, I'm guessing it's the same dough as their donuts and I would take it! I called and asked if there were any and the lady was like I hear how overwhelm you are so I'll just set aside this one on display. Papa blesssss! Found my new go to spot for rosca! I hope in the future they have different flavors or even preorders because I def would place one.

The best black sesame latte in Houston…read more I'm always looking for black sesame flavored drinks ever since I tried it in Seattle, so I was excited that TwoTone had it. The nuttiness of the sesame goes SOOO well with the espresso taste and it's a good creaminess too. I also like the texture of the bits of sesame seeds in the drink. The aesthetic of the cafe is modern with street-style flairs, it's a really cool space. I also love that there are Filipino flavors on the menu like ube and pandan. Most workers are super nice and say your name like they know you. They're also super attentive to ensure that everything with your order is perfect. Jonah was very welcoming and helpful, making sure we got a menu while in line! The weekdays seem to be better for wait-time, with little to no wait. The weekends however are packed and usually have lines. If you're not a line person, I would definitely come on a weekday. TwoTone is probably the best specialty coffee you can get in Houston, especially in terms of Asian flavors and creaminess. If it was closer to inner Houston, I would probably come here everyday.

I saw on instagram how ppl were saying they've waited an additional 30 mins after ordering. I was…read morethinking they exaggerated but was told the same when I arrived by other guest. The line moved fairly well since it was after 12pm. I decided to try out two drinks since I live a good distance away and I wasn't sure I'd be back anytime soon. When I ordered the employee let me know it'd be 15-20 mins. I got a chocolate croissant it was underwhelming. Not moist, chocolate to croissant ratio seemed off. I came for the speculoos and selected the jet black as well based on the reviews. I was tempted to try the jade but one of the baristas who loves both let me know it's very sweet compare to the others I was interested in. Both drinks were good. I do think the sesame is a more complex flavor especially if you like to actually taste your coffee. I would try the jade and ube drink I think it's called purple stuff; whenever I'm back on that side.

My beloved Boomtown RIP…read more This pains me to write. Different is certainly not always better, especially when what you had was already working. I much prefer the saying if it ain't broke don't fix it. To the people who bought this place, I know your motto is "different is better," but please stop taking that so literally. You do not have to change every aspect of this place to make it different. The best thing about getting your everyday local coffee is seeing the same baristas you've seen over and over again, familiar faces who know you by name. This was one of those places where I'd hate to admit how much money I've spent here, and I did it happily. In just three weeks, our beloved spot, one I would willingly drive out of my way for, has gone so far downhill that I barely recognize it. From the eyesore taco warmer that practically knocks you in the face while you're ordering, replacing a space that once showcased lovely things like fresh flowers and local trinkets, to the disappearance of the wonderful local treats from Sinfull Bakery that kids genuinely enjoyed. At first I thought maybe you were just out, but after three weeks it became clear that expenses were being cut across the board and those items may never come back. And where do I even begin. The new oat milk is terrible. It completely changes the look and taste of the coffee and is immediately noticeable. I won't harp on the change of hours or the change in flavor of your coffee beans, but I feel it must be mentioned because, well, it's noticeable. And now the cleanliness. Spilled taco sauce all over the floor, and when your kid points it out, you know you're in trouble at that point. Dishes piled so high they're overflowing, dirty restrooms. And to be clear, this isn't the staff's fault, there is simply not enough staff to keep up with these things. Never ever in seven years of being a frequent visitor has it been this bad. I also noticed the new coffee packaging, and it's just another reminder that the heart and thoughtfulness that once defined this place are gone. At this rate I half expect robots handing me my latte in a few weeks so you can save a few more bucks. And getting rid of Toast. Even if Toast was an expensive platform to use, it was legitimately so convenient. And dang, if you're going to do away with it, don't replace it with the worst possible ordering system ever, one that doesn't even work. Do you know how many orders I wouldn't have placed if it weren't for Toast? Toast made those orders possible when I didn't have time to wait. Without it, I simply wouldn't have ordered. I understand times are tough for many businesses, but you all were booming. The new online ordering system doesn't work. You may as well do away with it altogether because this one just isn't it. Honestly, I am devastated. You knocked it out of the park in every area, cleanliness, service, food. I never had a single bad item on the menu. The coffee was beyond. When my family moved out of the city a year and a half ago, I still drove 35 minutes one way just to get your food and coffee, over an hour round trip again and again. I don't think you understand how this new direction has driven this place into the ground in a matter of three weeks. Sadly all good things must come to an end.
