Luce Coffee Roasters - Coffee - Coffee Roasteries Near Me - Houston, Texas

I've been such a fan of this place, but in the past few times I've been in, the service has been so slow. I wonder if they're under new management; there seem to be fewer employees. The coffee continues to be consistently good, and I always enjoy the pastries and tacos. Hoping the service improves. read more

Stopped in for a brief meeting with a couple of colleagues. We enjoyed the Americano Crema, a cold Vietnamese coffee and a hot Caramel Macchiato. The aroma in the place is super. The danishes looked huge... and fresh. Good setting upstairs for us. read more

Great place to study! I used their upstairs seating. Which has tables and bar height seating. Not an abundance but good for groups of varying size. My drink was really good. Service was standard. I ordered and my drink was ready pretty quickly but it's wasn't packed. read more

This a nice relaxing coffee spot with a chill atmosphere. Great for people to come work and study. They have plenty of parking & they have an upstairs with bar height seating and some tables. Staff were okay, pretty dry tho lol The coffee wasn't all that, it looks cool in pics but it's very mid. I do like that they have blended drinks since my boyfriend isn't always super into coffee lol Other than that I give it 5 stars because it wasn't overwhelming with noise and I was able to get my work done, so I always appreciate nice quiet spots like these. read more

One of my favorite coffee places in Houston. I usually get the black island which is coconut milk, pandan, charcoal, and espresso. Park lot is kind of small as this area is growing with new business. The inside is 2 floors and ton of sitting around. Every time I been here my drink has been perfect and amazing. read more

Luce Coffee Roasters - Black Island - Coffee Roasteries Near Me - Houston, Texas

Everything from the atmosphere, to the staff, and down to the drinks are amazing. It has a nice chill vibe that's great for getting work done. This shop does offer free wifi although it does seem to have some restrictions and is a bit weaker depending on where you sit. I didn't have any problems myself accessing sites but my boyfriend as well as a few others near me were having difficultly getting to their school sites and work sites. Both of the drinks were from the "Black Label" section of the menu. I ordered the Iced Black Island with an extra shot of espresso and the MontBlanc. Both drinks were delicious and enjoyable to have while grinding out some work. It's unique that they have a pandan flavored coffee which I haven't seen at other places which keeps me wanting to come back for more. They also offer breakfast tacos which serve as a great snack during your work session. This is a great place to grab a coffee and hang out as well! read more

Luce coffee may be a "love at first sight" (or "sip") kind-of thing for me. My goodness was my first taste of their coffee quite immaculate! I got their Island Latte which was pandan, coconut milk and espresso. The execution on this coffee was spot on! Espresso wasnt bitter and pandan was not too sweet. It was the perfect balance for a perfect drink. I can see why this particular drink have a lot of fans. Its definitely a must try! Also tried their Black Cloud which was also delicious! They roasted their beans so beautifully that you can just taste that in your coffee. A very satisfying drink to say the least! Inside is open and spacious as well with more seating upstairs. As for the service we got that day, it was excellent as well. I had a couple of questions for the baristas regarding their coffee beans before I purchased and they were quite accommodating as well as knowledgable about their products. I would love to revisit Houston again for this coffee spot! Left such a good impression on me. read more

My favorite coffee spot me and my boyfriend go every Saturday! The cashier's are very friendly !

The food/pastry had bugs flying around in there. When I tried to bring it to the worker (receipt states Jocelyn) she dismissed me and asked for a name of my order instead such sad service for a place I truly enjoyed supporting. read more

This spot has tacos and tons of pastries for the hungry customer. We got a jalapeño ham and cheese croissant which they nicely warmed up. It was definitely on the spicy side but delicious and they have versions without jalapeño. Their space was clean but did not have a ton of seating. Good for working if you can snag a spot. Not super impressed with their drip it was watery. The hazelnut latte I got was good and satisfying. read more

PROS: plenty of parking so you don't have to worry about that; great service; very chill vibes; variety of foods and drinks; downstairs & upstairs seating; charging ports; great study place CONS: the wifi is not really good upstairs (also the wifi password is on the receipt so you might want to ask for the receipt if you need the wifi) I ordered the matcha latte with oat milk. It was a little too sweet but, once a bit of the ice melted it tastes fine. read more

From everything I've heard, Luce is one of the OGs when it comes to coffee roasters in Houston. With a rare two story seating shop, this inventive coffee shop and roaster is definitely worth a visit. I ordered the iced island latte for a pricey $6. Though the cost was high, you could tell the drink was made with quality ingredients. With creamy coconut milk and ample amounts of Pandan to bring the flavor out, and a shot of espresso with charcoal, this drink was both tasty and refreshing. Coconut and Pandan is often found in Vietnamese waffles because of the incredible way they compliment each other! This surely was a treat. Next time, I would definitely try a different drink, just to explore the other options Luce has to offer. They also coffee classes and coffee tastings, which look affordable and fun! read more

The espresso here was really good. I got an iced mocha and typically expect it to not be great. This one was really good. We came early afternoon and was kinda disappointed they didn't have any drip coffee still. Did get a breakfast taco and pastry. Not bad. I almost got some fresh coffee beans but I had a new bag at home so I opted to not. read more

The staff is really nice and the drinks are as good as I would expect from Luce. We ordered the Island Latte, which is basically a shot of espresso with pandan flavoring and coconut milk. I ordered a hot and wife ordered a cold. Both were delicious. I had pandan flavored coffee once elsewhere before and it wasn't good. Luce did it right. You can definite taste the coconut milk and the pandan flavor in this one. The espresso tags along to remind you it's still a coffee drink and drops a hint of bitterness. I recommend it, though next time I'll try something different. Plenty of seating downstairs and upstairs. Love the decor and clear view of their roasters, downstairs area, and workshop room. Plenty of parking space but getting out back to the street can be a drag during peak times because of traffic. You lay mercy to polite drivers in Houston to let you into the street. Based on the fliers on the wall, it looks like they offer classes and cupping events. I wish there was more info on the cupping event (couldn't find any details on their website), but I'm still tempted to try. Prices are a bit more expensive compared to some other coffee shops, but only a tad bit. It's the Heights area sort of, so it's kind of expected. Good coffee, nice staff, interesting interior, plenty of parking. Good job Luce (or Helen). read more

Cute coffee shop with friendly & super knowledgeable baristas. If you're going to pay more than $5 for coffee, it should be worth it. The coffee here was worth it We always like to check out local shops when traveling and I'm glad we stumbled upon this one. I'm sure every drink is great. I got the Spanish latte. It was sweet and I believe had double shots of espresso. Super hot day so I got it iced. Highly recommend. read more

Great location with two levels of seating. The downstairs has a coffee bar to grab a drink and upstairs has seating surrounding the walls and stair entrance. The feel is new and industrial but a good location to get some work done. I only stayed for an hour or two but was able to get what I needed. This is part of a small chain in houston but coffee was great. Would definitely come back. read more

Luce in the sky with diamonds I recall checking this place out when I visited Houston last year and coming in recently after realising it's down the street from me. It's run by an efficient and friendly staff that serve awesome coffee beverages, pastries, and breakfast tacos provided by tacos-a-go-go. My vanilla latte was smooth and the right consistency, just how I prefer. The upstairs is where you can post up and enjoy your beverage while reading or jump on your electronics. It's quite spacious and gives a view of the downstairs area. It's a unique concept that allows you to relax/work in peace. Next time I'll be looking at their americanos which I've read are something on another level. Vamos Luce! read more

This is a cute coffee shop (and roaster) located in a shopping center with decent parking. I definitely enjoyed the Pandan Charcoal Latte. There is ample seating indoors to get work done (check the receipt for wifi) or chat with a small group. Staff were friendly too. I also picked up a bag of beans -- roast dates were on the bottom and very recent (talk about fresh!). read more

Luce Coffee Roasters - Coffee Roasteries Near Me - Houston, Texas

I found out about Luce Coffee Roasters after a friend recommended it to me. There are two locations (this and Richmond Ave). This location is located at one of the ends in the complex, shared by other businesses. There are plenty of parking spaces. Upon entrance, there is an open barista space where you watch them do their magic in this black modern coffee shop. There are a few tables in the front of the cafe, and there are plenty of tables upstairs to work/study. Luce Coffee Roasters also hosts coffee roasting classes/lessons in the room behind the barista space. DRINKS: Cold Brew with Oat Milk (3/5): This was okay. I think my friend added too much milk to it. The amount of milk is customizable. Island Latte (Hot, 5/5): I loved it! It's not too sweet as well. They are known for Island Latte and Cream Americano! I have not tried the Cream Americano, but the Island Latte is fantastically well-blended and subtle in its own way. MontBlanc (Hot, 4/5): The foam was smooth and tasty, but I didn't completely love it. The ingredients are a mix of charcoal powder, cacao nib, coffee, vanilla and milk. Would I come back? Yes. I sure do. It is on the pricier side though. read more

Trendy coffee spot. Good for self or smaller groups. Plenty of seating but mostly for two or bar seating. Upstairs is quieter if you plan to work or study. Typical coffee selection available (drip, latte, americano, etc), but also plenty of fun signature espresso drinks. There's a parking lot which makes parking easy. read more

THIS IS THE SPOT! We've tried a lot of "must try" coffee spots in Houston and this is the one! The vibes are chill, I worked on my iPad last time I was here and an hour went by so fast! The Spanish latte is yours if you like the strength of Vietnamese coffee, perfect amount of sweetness! My favorite is the Black Island with extra pandan! The espresso is there yet so well paired with the coconut milk and pandan, AND it's dairy free! WIN WIN for me! It's so good that I found this spot and came back everyday so far Come by and don't forget to tip your baristas! read more

This place is the perfect coffee shop to catch up with a friend or do some light studying. There aren't too many coffee shops with a lot of room to site besides some Starbucks. The coffee here is awesome and the person who took our order was really helpful and pleasant to speak with. I had the mont blanc with sugar free vanilla. It was pretty sweet, but I enjoyed it. It was a nice low carb treat while I enjoyed some free wifi. The password is on the receipt. My husband had a caramel macchiato and said it was very good. There is a good amount of parking and a few places to eat in the plaza as well. read more

Absolutely LOVE this place. Boyfriend and I came here to catch up on some work and everything was amazing from the drinks to the vibe. The baristas were super knowledgeable about their menu and had great recommendations! They were super friendly and worked quick. The drinks we had -- sweet chocolate luccino and California dreaming-- were absolutely spectacular and refreshing for a hot day. Definitely wanted to try more drinks on their menu. It is a great place to work and study at-- quiet, but not too quiet where you can still talk and catch up with people. There is both a floor level and upstairs area with tables and seating areas so plenty of room. Absolutely loved the ambience. There is also a good amount of parking since it's part of a small center. Overall, great place for studying, drinks, the aesthetic.. definitely worth the price!! read more

The 1st time I drove by, it looked closed, but then on my 2nd pass, I looked a little closer and realized the interior was just dark and it was actually open. Inside is a little different than the typical coffee place...they are modern with just a few bars seats behind the coffee bar in the center for seating. The rest (most) of the seating is upstairs, via 2 stairways on either side of the building. They serve various muffins, pastries and even breakfast tacos which they get from Tacos a GoGo. My latte was delicious and much better than anything you'd ever get at the big name coffee places. I also added a bacon and egg taco, which was delicious, but I have previously eaten their tacos before at their brick and mortar many years ago. read more

Luce Coffee Roasters - Iced Island latte - seems to be very popular - Coffee Roasteries Near Me - Houston, Texas

Cold brew in a capris sun pouch! That's it...that's the review. But yes, unlike the Richmond location, this location is a 2 story cafe, with elevator access to the 2nd floor in addition to the stairs. The halls are wide enough to accommodate a wheelchair so snaps for that. This round I tried a hazelnut macchiato, but I've also tried their mocha latte, Earl grey latte & Island latte (with charcoal, which I found a bit intense for my taste). They offer a milky, sweet interpretation of most classic drinks and try to remember your name as you leave. Apparently they also have roasting classes and a barista academy you can enroll in online. Definitely unique. Pleasant cafe. Pleasant experience read more
