My new favorite spot - I wished I lived nearby! It's the cutest atmosphere with plenty of seating areas. It's located in a repurposed house so lots of rooms to navigate to for seating. They have so many fun seasonal drinks - we cannot wait to go back. I love my cortado but my bf tried a cherry flavored fruit drink. We were both very pleased. Bonus - their merch is superrrr cute and I got a shirt! read more

Polite Coffee Roasters (love the name) operates from a beautiful and large historical home with a big porch. Featuring many rooms, tables and chairs, it's easy to find a hangout spot. It's very roomy and high ceilings create a sense of spaciousness. Large windows let in a lot of natural light. The interior is very quaint. I tried one of their summer specials, the peach cobbler latte, and it did not disappoint. Made with peach puree, it tastes like actual peach cobbler (yum) and it's not overly sweet, perfectly balanced. I also got one of their sweet pastries which is very good as well. This is exactly what I needed today, a wonderful and tasty pause to break a long drive from East to Central Texas. I'm so pleased I'm actually going to buy a bag of coffee beans when I'm done writing this review, while sipping my coffee on their beautiful porch. Very nice place and adorable logo! Worth a polite visit. read more

Unique backstory of this 1898 built Kyle House (original owner- Dr. Kyle who donated land for Kyle field) now the coziest coffee shop and spacious hangout complete with its own small library. The name Polite is distinctive and deliberate of the staff, had a wonderful time talking with them. Solid selection of baked goods but didn't try any this time. Loved my "Holly Jolly Flat White" (cranberry+rosemary winter special), and really appreciated all the work done to make a historic mansion a cute place to talk/study. So glad I found this place! read more

I love it when cafes actually care about the nitty-gritty of coffee, instead of just speeding through the process. This cafe roasts its own beans (yummy beans by the way), pulls delicious shots, has good service and a unique ambiance (it's in a house), and has good baked goods to accompany your drink. Highly recommend the cortado here, as it is more of an experience than a drink. A++ read more

This was my favorite coffee shop when I was working in the area. The vibe is really chill, so if you need to set up shop and study, there is plenty of room to do so. The staff was always so kind and welcoming as well. The coffee beans are roasted so good, and the options for flavors and drink creations are unique and tasty. I really appreciated the fact that they allow you to use a personal coffee travel mug, so if you're into reducing waste, then this is a place to go. read more

Visited yesterday and loved everything about the experience. The drip coffee was great, and their selection of freshly roasted beans (with roasted dates on the bags) to buy for home was excellent...many diverse options. The house itself that the shop is in is super cool with lots of great places to sit. This place is a great example of how specialty coffee is done. read more

Polite Coffee Roasters - Love the branding! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Bryan, Texas

I had the latte with almond milk and a splash of vanilla. It's so fresh and delicious. We also ate the banana bread. It's a must warmed up. The employees are so sweet ama welcoming. They offer their recommendations. The coffee shop was a house. It was built in 1898, so it has a home feeling. It can be a landmark for Bryan. It's a big property. There is a plenty of parking and a nice yard to sit and relax. read more

Still (mostly) 5 stars, two years later. We biked to the shop this weekend since the weather was temperate. Also a bonus since the parking situation is rough on the weekends. We locked our group of bikes to the railing and sat outside, but it feels safe enough to just keep an eye on them and not have to carry the locks. This visit, I had the first thing that wasn't 5 stars. To be fair, I didn't complain or give a chance to fix it. I ordered the egg and Everything Bagel kolache. They were made ahead and in the cooler. They warmed it up, but the egg was still cool and the outside breading was very gooey. It felt underbaked. I also had the mint lemonade which was amazing! I'll be back for sure, but will check food items before digging in. read more

CUTE coffee shop in a beautiful old mansion. Easy to find - right down the street from downtown Bryan. Loads of parking (lot). HUGE yard of welcoming grass. Boats loads of seating in the yard, the big porch or inside. Most patrons seemed like college kids studying. Got the seasonal Butter Pecan Latte with almond milk, so GOOD! And a really good warm but not scalding hot temperature. read more

I love their pop tarts! They make their sprinkles from scratch and have different flavors. I've had the peach, blackberry, and cherry. They also can warm them up for you. I've had strawberry matcha latte and the Breakfast in Bed (fruity pebble coffee). Matcha was pretty good, strong. Coffee was really sweet but nice fruity flavor. Great place to study - it's spacious, has WiFi, isn't too loud, has outlets near tables. Fast service, friendly baristas. read more

Very cute coffee shop with a unique idea. Had quite a bit of space which is good because they were very busy when we came by. My sister got a matcha latte and did enjoy it, my mom got an Americano and had no complaints. I got the horchata with espresso and it was just okay. Lacked flavor in both coffee and horchata. I would come back and try other things though. read more

Got helped by Becca and she was AMAZING!!! We went for my friends birthday and she made her feel so special!

Barista was very helpful and friendly, and the atmosphere is very cozy but spacious! Great place to meet and catch up with friends. The carrot cake latte off the spring menu was unique, and the cherry filled Polite Tart was beautiful and delicious. read more

One thing about my family, is we love to come back and visit Aggieland, but especially, visit family owned businesses. Polite coffee is located in the historic Kyle house which is absolutely stunning. The pastries are all homemade. The kolache had a full Slovacek's sausage and was delicious. My husband downed the Polite tart in a matter of minutes and it was stuffed full of filling. I was so pleased to find out they had decaf espresso as I can't have caffeine, so I snagged a bag of beans! The carrot cake latte actually tasted like carrot cake, and and I thoroughly enjoyed. No doubt we will be back on our next visit! read more

Polite is where my family goes on Sundays. My sisters are there multiple times a week but I usually meet them there on Sundays, we get their delicious chai tea and sit on the porch chatting with the rest of the siblings on zoom. It's so scenic and quaint at this location and the workers are always so kind. Also the bathrooms are clean and well stocked. Great place for coffee and reading or whatever it is you do at coffee shops. read more

Oh no, things have changed quite a bit since my review 2 years ago. I hadn't been here in a while and I looked forward to enjoying my morning here. Unfortunately that didn't work out. Overall Polite is still a great space with lots of new additions but some not successful :( I had a chai latte and a Sausage and cheese biscuit sandwich, and both were too challenging to enjoy and finish. The chai had some medicine aftertaste. Never have had that flavor in my chai so I'm not sure what it was but it was too unpleasant to drink. The sandwich was wildly salty. I couldn't eat more than half of it. Overall I was disappointed. read more

Cute little coffee shop! Love the building and service is alright! Coffee is okay but always warm when I get it iced. Make sure to ask for extra ice because they seriously put 2 ice cubes in there. Other than that, it's relatively solid! read more

Seems like Polite is taking over Bryan / College Station, and after visiting the mothership, I see (and taste) why. Polite is housed in the historic Kyle House (yeah, THAT Kyle), and it's got a sort of Historic House / College Crash Pad / We're Still Working on Stuff kind of vibe. That said, all the coffee I tried was excellent, from straight up to iced coffee drinks. I almost never drink iced coffee, but my American Pie was just the thing to deliver some caffeine on a hot day. Definitely worth a detour if you are in the Downtown Bryan area. read more

Try the homemade poptart! You can't go wrong with this. The flavor seems to change out. I had a brown sugar/cinnamon one and it was fantastic. I also had an iced Americano and a lemonade. Both were great. Since this is a refinished house, the parking can be limited during peak hours. read more

I really enjoy the different combinations they offer. I have had some things I didn't like, but I always like to order things that sound unusual or unique. I accept that that means I may have a few misses here and there. It can be a little slow, especially when they are busy, and it is usually crowded when I've been, but I usually just go and get something to go, so it's no big deal. read more

Came here for the first time with my wife. We ordered the Kyle House coffee and Cappuccino (nothing special about both of these drinks, it was ok and tasted like what it should taste like). It's a bit pricey for a cup of joe that took 3 sips to finish. I guess you can say it's not my style of coffee. I'd prefer a Dutch Bros type of drink where I can get a cheaper larger coffee that has flavor to it. We also ordered the coffee muffin and vanilla and blood orange scone. Nothing amazing about the coffee cake other than the freshness. The scone was actually very flavorful. The staff is super friendly and fast. Good sized parking lot and lots of seats to include outdoors. I love the old historic house turned coffee shop idea. It is very creative. My wife and I enjoyed reading about it on their website. read more

Great place to come to enjoy some coffee and get some work done! My favorite thing about this cafe is that there's a lot of seating! Seems like a house they renovated into a cafe and its perfect for students to come and study. They also have some outdoor seating if you're wanting to sit outside and enjoy the weather c: I got one of their lattes I forget the name.. but it had honey and some cinnamon? the barista should know what i'm talking about haha but it was REALLY good! I'm a black coffee type of person but when I came i said why not? So i tried that lattee and it was balanced really well. Not too sweet and not too bitter. I definitely recommend this cafe for any A&M students looking for a change of scenery from studying on campus or at home all day. read more

A very solid coffee shop! This place makes me wish I lived closer. Stopped in while in town for work. So much seating and cozy vibes. Staff was helpful and attentive. Great menu and on price for good craft coffee. I ordered a grandma's house latte and my husband got a bourbon pecan latte, both seasonal drinks. They were FANTASTIC. So smooth and flavorful yet not overly sweet. Honestly best latte I'd had in a minute and well my husband and I are coffee snobs. We loved our experience and I'll definitely return next time I'm in town! read more

BRYAN COLLEGE STATION FINALLY GETS THE AMAZING COFFEE PLACE IT DESERVES. * * * BCS (Bryan College Station for all you out of towners) has a bit of a history of being a coffee desert. There was an ancient era of good coffee houses, a long run of tragic coffee house bankruptcies and closures, a dry spell in which Starbucks was the best game in town ... and then hope returned in the spring. There are now a number of new and interesting places where you can drink espresso and get work done. But of the new generation of super-coffee-houses, Polite Coffee Roasters in Bryan is the best of the best of the best. * * * This is not necessarily because the coffee itself is legendary. They are bold and take creative risks in the coffee making. You can win big. You can lose big. Let it now be known to all Yelpers in all cities and every nation on the face of this planet ... That Froot Loops Coffee is a bad idea. A really really really bad idea. That said, You have to admire the brass balls and the twisted Frank Zappa mentality that would make any barista even THINK of making Froot Loops Coffee. Everywhere else in BCS, the baristas think they are being bold if they make a latte in any flavor other than vanilla. * * * The setting is absolutely positively spectacular. As a physical place to work, this is one of the best coffee houses anywhere, And that includes coffee houses in coffee house heavens such as London and Seattle. The Polite Coffee Roasters got a hold of a huge Victorian House. The house was already so famous it had a name. (The "Kyle" House if you wanna know). They turned most of this Victorian mansion into places to work and drink your coffee. They also have a sprawling back yard with lots of porches and a gazebo. The lawn, porches and gazebo are also set up as places to work and drink your coffee. The place is mobbed with coffee-and-artistic-sensibility-starved graduate students who drive all the way up from College Station to get grace and class and Berkeley/Chapel Hill/Madison Weltanschauung. A third of the graduate programs of all of Texas A and M University may be working in the various rooms of Polite Coffee Roasters. But the house and the parking lot are all enormous. All of those scientific and artistic types can fit into the house and the yard leaving plenty of room to you to park your car. You will have a wide choice of free tables when you get inside. The buzz may be Seattle-Eugene but the scale is Texas-sized. * * * The snacks are limited but really good for what they are. Special kudos for the biscuit with homemade honey butter. When they offer to heat it for you, be sure to say yes. There is honey butter and there is ! Honey Butter ! This is ! Honey Butter ! I ordered biscuit after biscuit not to let my ! Honey Butter ! go to waste. * * * Altogether a major accomplishment in bringing civilization, grace and style to Bryan College Station. Sometimes you just gotta take the Froot Loops along with everything else. read more

Among my favorite coffee shops in the area! When we moved from a cold weather state, where they know how to brew a coffee & pour a latte, back home to Texas, the first thing we thought was - where are we going to get our coffee from?! Legit panic attack! But Polite is among the better coffee show in the neighborhood. It has plenty of seating, both indoor and outdoor, as well as relatively good WiFi (considering the number of people there are). It's a better pour than your chain coffee shop, though a bit pricier. Only downside is the setup. Having one small area to order and pick up your drink is a bit cramped when you add all the extras of coffee shop products. Also, the staff service is a bit of a mixed bag. I've been twice and one visit their super friendly, then the second time they were super friendly to their friends (who ordered ahead of me) and brushed me off... read more

Excellent coffee. Great service. Beautiful place. Also had an iced espresso tonic water with bitters that was just wonderful. Crisp, light, good coffee drink. I've had something similar before - this was the best I've had. The old house has a ton of rooms and seating. read more

Tried some black coffee here. It was strong enough to knock out a horse, so that was good. The flavor was a bit imbalanced however, and I wouldn't exactly describe it as well rounded or gourmet. But if you want strong coffee, oh yeah, this is strong stuff. Service was attentive and fine, ambiance was decent. Overall an okay experience and if you wanted to study or cram here it would do the trick. read more

Lives up to the name, friendly counter service! On trend atmosphere, warm & cozy (it was cold this weekend). Nice coffee options, wish we could have tried more! Espresso & cappuccinos were perfect.

Polite is very close to great, with its spacious house, interesting specials and spot-on descriptions of high end coffee/foam. Unfortunately, my latte was extremely weak, to the point that I wish I'd asked for an extra shot in it. Also, while the foam was pretty good, it wasn't microfoam velvety. At this point, i would slightly rather get coffee from Tavo or maybe Harvest. read more

Best coffee in college station! Always buy my coffee beans from here (& get a free coffee with them!) Great service. Always room to sit, even with students studying. Good vibes.. Awesome coffee!

Just recently tried a carrot cake latte, which sounded kind of crazy, but was so so good! read more
