My husband and I love exploring and trying out new coffee shops all the time, so we were excited to…read morecheck this place out. Unfortunately, the drinks really missed the mark for us. I ordered a latte with half & half and an extra shot, but it was incredibly disappointing. It tasted like watered-down milk with a bitter aftertaste. We also ordered a regular drip coffee, which completely lacked flavor. I couldn't even finish my drink and ended up throwing it away after just a few sips. On the positive side, the staff was very nice and welcoming, and the shop itself was exceptionally clean. However, given the quality of the coffee, we won't be returning and can't recommend it.

Come early to pair your drink with a treat, as they tend to run out. This coffee location is true coffee service, drink sit chat, read a book maybe, enjoy and go. This isn't a place for you to work, no wifi is offered, no plugs. The music is slightly on the louder side. But this place smells so good ! Parking is suitable as the customers come and go quite often. Just realized that their cup is now designed with a drawing of their location, which adds a touch of unique and memory of a local business! Good address in Houston.

However this coffee shops reads as more of a pick up and go place, which is totally fine. They only had 2 signature drinks the morning we popped in, and honestly neither really stood out as unique in any way unfortunately. There's the standard coffee options of course and the normal assortment of sweeteners too, so the rest of the order is up to you. There's pastries and breads available, not sure if they're made in house, but it's a smoker shop so maybe not.

I decided to try their ice vanilla latte and surprised it took me so long to try it. Coffee flavor is fragrant, not too strong or bitter. The vanilla is just the right amount and not too sweet. Everyone is nice and service is super quick. Will definitely come back to this location, never had a bad experience!

I tried six drinks in total: Island Latte, Mont Blanc, Matcha Latte, Cream Americano, Black Island, and Delight Matcha. I ordered everything hot except the Delight Matcha, which came as an iced slushy and was super refreshing. Each drink had its own personality, but the Island Latte stole the show for me. Made with espresso, coconut milk, and pandan, it had a smooth tropical twist that I could drink every day. The Mont Blanc was rich and earthy, combining charcoal, espresso, and milk. The Matcha Latte kept it classic with just matcha and milk, and the Cream Americano delivered exactly what it promised with a nice balance of bold and sweet. The Black Island had a deeper flavor with a subtle hint of pandan flavor that paired well with the charcoal. Parking is fairly easy, either on the street or in the visitor section of the garage. As someone who takes coffee seriously, I can honestly say this is one of my favorite coffee spots in Houston. Creative drinks, good vibes, and a great place to explore unique flavors.

A free Sunday saw an opportunity to meet with friends at Native. Coffee roaster is District, a…read moreroaster in Tomball. They are a good roaster. And so, I enjoyed my Americano, served in a cup. I opted for a sandwich for reasons too complex to go in here and the one that I chose was the Westheimer bacon and avocado. The flat bread was good and it is a sandwich that I would order again. No photos as, well, there are enough photos of coffee cups on Yelp. Plenty of parking and that is a plus. There is a possibility to sit outside in the shade but it is still hot in the summer here in Houston.

Came here to have coffee and conversations with friends on a lazy Sunday morning. Located in the…read moreMidtown area, this coffee shop can be easy to miss. There is a parking lot in the back so parking was not an issue. When you walk up, you enter through their patio. It is nicely shaded and would be perfect when the weather isn't too hot. They got a nice HTX mural on the wall which makes for nice photo ops with your coffee. The Houston pride continues inside as well. They have cool art and random items all around the shop. Another cool thing I saw was this closed cabinet on the patio. Painted on it was "Give what you can, take what you need." Inside was random non perishable food items, toiletries and other random items. There are alot of people in need, especially in this area, and having it right by the entrance makes it easily accessible. This place is a coffee shop, but I feel like they have more food items than things on their coffee menu. They have breakfast items along with a big sandwich menu. I didn't partake in food this time but everything I saw come out and what my friends had looked good. They don't have specialty drinks like alot of coffee shops around town, but they do have specialty syrups that they make in house that can elevate your coffee. I like a specialty drink, but sometimes you just want to have regular ole drink. The line was kind of long and I felt like I was asking too many questions and ended up panic ordering. I ordered an iced chai latte. It was decent. It tasted a little too diluted and I could barely taste the chai. Still enjoyable. Just from the reactions of the people I was with, everyone seemed to enjoy what they ordered. Overall it was a positive experience here. If you are looking for a no frills coffee shop without needing all the trendy drinks, this is the place for you. I love what they do for the community so I would happily support them again if in the area.

I've been coming to Blendin frequently (once a week at least) since moving back to Htown in 2021…read more The quality of their espresso is TOP notch. I used to get a flat white w/ oat milk and 1 stevia (I use my own brand). The combination literally tastes like hot chocolate. It was my go-to for years. As I wanted to lose weight, however, I transitioned to quad Americanos w/ a splash of milk and 1 stevia. Still very tasty. It reminds me of a Starbucks canned coffee (that was LOW sugar) way back in the day that they stopped making (2007-2009). Obviously, there is no comparison w/ re: to quality but I did want to mention. The staff here have always been friendly, particularly Hilary, who I believe is at the Sugarland location now. I recently watched a YouTube video on a guy that travels across cities to try the best coffee and he ranked the pour over at Blendin very high. I need to try that one day! Side note - coming here and having a weekly routine has helped me on my grief journey. Thanks Blendin. You know who it is. It's Young Flaaave!

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.
