    Hash & Boss BLT
    Christine D.

    Overall food was alright. Didn't order any drinks. Vibes are very cute. Ordered: - Brisket Hash - a bit on the salty side. - Boss BLT - bread was thickkk. a little bland to me. I like the vibes. Lots of seating especially outside on the patio. They even had outlets outside. Makes me sad that during Texas summer it's a tad too hot to sit outside sometime. Parking is limited (they have 1-2 ish grave lots). Street parking kinda sucks in the area. Roads are very narrow and not a lot of street parking available.

    Good prices and lovely patio. I love how Next Door is nestled in between a residential neighborhood. I visited on a week day and it wasn't too busy at all. The baristas were friendly and welcoming. I ordered the starstruck latte - iced. Too be quite honest, my drink mostly tasted like milk. I didn't taste any notes of the other ingredients like the salted caramel, vanilla, or even the actual expresso. My fiance ordered a hot vanilla latte which actually tasted better and was more flavorful. Therefore, I feel like my review is more like a 3.5. I'd have to try another drink to see if my drink was a one off.

    This place is lowkey a neighborhood hidden gem! Super duper cute with lots of outdoor seating. Love how they decorated the place with all the plants and cozy furniture. The baristas are very friendly. I ordered a pistachio latte and thought it was solid. Pistachio flavor was light and blended well with the espresso. This is a great place to sit outside and hang out with friends!

    I have a summer mission to try more coffee shops. This place was next on my list! It is attached to a chill looking neighborhood bar and it was a similar low key vibe. There is a small parking lot on the side. The inside is very cute, there is more patio / outdoor seating but I found a space on midday on a Friday. I did not get any food as I had recently eaten, but a lot of other people there were enjoying it. They get their pastries from a local baker and they looked yum! I got the Mont Blanc - a cold brew with vanilla citrus cold foam. It was a bit more citrus than vanilla but it was a fun and different drink than what I normally get. I definitely want to try more of what they have next time! Staff were very nice and attentive. The person behind me tried to order a seasonal drink they didn't have the exact ingredients for, but the barista went above and beyond to try to recreate the drink for him. I had a great time reading and enjoying my beverage!

    My 1st time here and I was truly impressed!! Next Door is nestled in a small neighborhood area in Cottage Grove- truly a neighborhood gem. I love the outside patio area. Very pet friendly and spacious. Upon entry, the coffeehouse was inviting with nice decor. One can order food/drinks from outside or inside. They use TenFold beans which is 5 stars in itself. We ordered 4 drinks (Starstruck, Mont Blanc, Shaken Espresso, and Cafe Mexicans) and everything was delicious!! My son loved loved the brisket hash. Honestly everything we ate was good. The only negative was the parking-It was difficult to find parking so be prepared for that. However we enjoyed the coffeehouse and will be back!!

    My daughter and I visited for the first time, and we had such a great experience. The café is beautiful, clean, and very welcoming. We really enjoyed the coffee, it was excellent! The owner kind and knowledgeable, explaining the different coffee and recommending drinks that suited our taste. We can't wait to come back. Highly recommend!

    sweet potato hash

    Utterly flabbergasted. I just had the most trifling first experience at Next Door on Larkin. It was worse than I think that I could've ever imagined. This establishment needs a visit from the health inspector. There are literal pastries that are sitting out in an open area with flies and who knows whatever else, landing and laying eggs on them. I called my order in for to go, so if I would have seen this prior to entering the building, this would have deterred me from ordering whatsoever. However, when I opened up my sweet potato hash plate, there was a hair engraved in the poached egg...quite disturbing experience. when I went to return the food to the staff, they seemed unbothered and lacked empathy regarding the situation. They quickly provided me a refund, but did not apologize for the hair being in my food. I am genuinely considering reporting them to the CDC as soon as possible because that is disgusting.

    Great breakfast spot! Loved the large patio seating which was shaded and there's even more in the back. Food was really good, fresh with quality ingredients. We will be back!

I got an iced blueberry lavender latte with oatmilk, delish. Loved seeing their display of syrups, their machine is beautiful and loved the touch of using bottomless portafilters made my barista heart so happy If I could recommend anything to this shop it would be to start using names or numbers to call out orders from the counter. As a customer when you have to watch and listen for your specific order it can make the waiting period a little less enjoyable :/ and then you run into what I did, your coffee gets called, someone got the same thing, and now it's unfortunately up to the barista to tell them (& have to remember) whose it is ‍ Will 100% be returning. Loved the space. Loved the drink. Excited to try the pastries and experience it in a calmer environment!!

It is so nice to work in/meet with friends. To me it feels super balanced, casual and professional at the same time. Not super loud. The customers are mix purpose, you don't feel bad if someone next to you is working/studying. It's part of Bayou Heights Bier Garden, their little coffee shop on the left part of the venue. If there's no seating inside (kinda limited) you're welcome to work on the BHBG patio space which is ample. I more recently come with girlfriends to needlepoint, and catch up. Nothing about their coffee I feel the need to rave about but it's not disgusting and I enjoy it. I used to get the blueberry lavender a lot but I think I burnt myself out on it. Staff are always super nice. Again pastries are amazing, and I want to say they're all made in house. Yummy

I had no idea it is actually a chain....with literally only two branches as of 2026 in Houston, one being Autry Park and the other in River Oaks. I didn't know when I stopped by, but I read online that it is Pilates, fitness, and Specialty Coffee place, all under the same roof. Made a quick stop for coffee as I was in the area for an event. It's pretty posh. Parking is bit of a problem though. There is both indoor and outdoor seating available. Outside, it is pet friendly too. Just got a quick cold coffee, and had to hurry out. But though it was pretty early on a Sunday, there was a huge crowd and it kept flowing in. So it is a popular spot in the neighborhood. There are lots of pastries and some savories to choose from.

I showed up a whole day early ended…read moreup catching the Oyster and Sea Fest downtown, but I made it back the next morning for the real reason I came, and it did not disappoint. The static fit yoga class at Duo Houston with Lesbianland was such a good time. It was outside, the weather cooperated, and the energy was just right. A whole crowd of beautiful women, good music, and a space that felt safe, calm, and fun all at the same time. Morgan Brown led the class and really set the tone. It felt grounding but still had a little spice to it, not boring at all. After class, they had matcha and acai bowls and gave us 15% off, which I love because who doesn't want a little reward after pretending you can plank longer than you actually can. Speaking of... they had a planking contest and somebody held it for over five minutes. I tapped out mentally just watching. Only thing to note, if you want coffee you'll need to walk over to a nearby shop in Autry Park, but it's super close so no complaints there. Overall, great vibes, great people, and definitely a space I'd come back to.

Because I found this delightful spot for breakfast and caffeine. I'm a frequent traveler, and have already hit some incredible food spots here in Houston. This is now at the top of my breakfast and coffee/tea stops. Drink: I had a divine dirty chai latte with pistachio nut milk (a new milk for me) which really added a fresh twist on a classic morning beverage favorite. La Vita's owner, a very sweet and passionate man who clearly loves what he's doing here, shared that they fly in their chai in powder form from Italy. No nasty syrups or pre-mixed chai here and I can absolutely tell the difference! Food: I had THE BEST everything bagel with bacon, egg, and cheese since my last trip to Manhattan. I won't spill the beans on how they achieve this, but they have legit true NYC bagels here. DO NOT PASS ON THIS sandwich! You'll be very sorry you did. The ambiance is chill, with loads of seating, and the service is top-notch. I highly recommend you get over here as soon as possible! Thanks to Alex and team for a wonderful impromptu delight!

Plenty of seating inside and outside, including tables and benches. Coffee was great. We ordered an iced americano, with homemade vanilla syrup, and a biscoff cookie butter iced latte. Both tasted fresh and exactly as ordered. After our coffees we enjoyed walking around the rest of the store. Unique store items that I definitely want to come back and check out again. This was a nice find today when shopping in mercantile heights.

    Beautiful coffee shop located in the Heights. Parking was tight as expected for that part of town,…read morebut I got lucky and was able to nab the last available spot in the parking lot adjacent to the building on a Saturday morning around 9:15 am. Barista/cashier was nice and I had no issue with her at all. Seating was open and decently spacious. The flat white I ordered was $5 + tax and tip which isn't too pricey, the volume was on the small side, and the taste was OK - nothing great but certainly not bad either. So why the 2 star review? The place was severely understaffed for a Saturday morning. They only had one staff member who was doing all the work like taking orders and making the drinks, so it took 20 minutes in line to order, and the drink took another 30 minutes. I went there to meet with a friend, and we were done meeting by the time we got our drinks. I ended up asking for it in a to-go cup and the presentation was underwhelming at that point, to say the least. Can you imagine waiting almost an hour for a coffee? No thank you. It was worth a shot and I guess I went on a bad day. Unfortunately it was my first and last time trying this place as the whole experience was underwhelming. I would have tried it again if the coffee flavor was great.
