This coffee shop is directly next to the Stella hotel. Armed with an attentive staff and an inviting interior, the convenience of walking from the hotel to this spot makes both this coffee shop and the hotel attractive options in Bryan. The coffee drinks are alright. The sugar-free hazelnut latte I ordered was made quick and I was on my way although it tasted similar to what a Starbucks latte would be. Maybe my palate is off? I was hoping there would be something unique about the drink that would capture my tastebuds but it didn't. I didn't try any pastries or breakfast items but I read people raving about their sandwiches. That may be in the cards next time I stay at the Stella. The shop opens early and there's plenty of indoor and outdoor seating with a strong wifi. Plus it's located near the lake where I noticed plenty of people walking around with their POV coffee in hand. Not a bad morning ritual. read more

Great coffee spot, with super friendly staff. It is a good place to hang out, drink coffee, and get some work done. Coffee is great. They have free Wi-Fi. It can get a little crowded with students, but not too bad. They have several breakfast sandwich options as well as some regular sandwiches, in addition to a handful of pastries. read more

Great coffee and pastries. Their cinnamon honey vanilla latte is delicious but definitely on the sweater side. Love the option that you can choose your sweetness level and they are always very accommodating to all! Great coffee shop to grab a coffee and bite and walk around the lake! read more

Quick stop to grab coffee before heading home. This place was a packed house. I ordered the large garden, which was a honey vanilla latte. I must say, it one of the best I had. If you're ever in town, definitely stop by and give this place a try. read more

Pretty solid coffee shop! Nice staff, good coffee, fun menu, and lots of places to sit. I love coming here every time I visit college station and I highly recommend! read more

I stumbled upon this coffee shop because I was staying next-door at the Stella. The workers were very nice and friendly, but it's pretty pricey. I ordered a small (12oz) Americano, because they don't serve regular iced coffee) and a kolache and combined it was $10. The drink was average. The kolache was good, but not worth $5. Nothing really stood out to me about this coffee shop. There were plenty of people on laptops, and it was pretty spacious with outdoor seating as well. read more

Best coffee shop around in my opinion. They do everything right about a coffee shop. The atmosphere, coffee, and food are all great. Fantastic place to lock in for multiple hours for school or to just chill and read read more

Best cappuccino I have had in a while. Strong and bold! They have a nice variety of refrigerated pastries that can be warmed up per request . We split a cheese danish and was very moist. They have every flavor, syrup and milk you can imagine for endless coffee combinations. Although this is not attached to the hotel It is still part of it . Service was ok . read more

Great environment, they provide WiFi so it's a great place to get some homework done! They have indoor and outdoor seating so I bring my dog. Only thing is the food is overpriced and not very good at all. I got the Caesar wrap and it was dry and it tasted like it had been out for at least 6 hours. Coffee is great and affordable read more

Good service Nice area to enjoy coffee Lake nearby is a good place to sit Food options available read more

Quaint little coffee shop to visit if you're staying at The Stella or around the area. The baristas are super friendly and efficient. Tried the Bees Knees, Kolache and it was great. Bring your own container and they give you a 10% discount. read more

I was staying at the Stella. I had a cold coffee and a chocolate croissant. Both were amazing, probably the best chocolate croissant I have ever had. The ice coffee was an Indy... really GOOD! Location is great and beautiful. Service was fast and friendly. Only negative.... The anti Texas Longhorn stickers. LOL!!! I'd still go back. read more

Coffee is delicious and I love their chocolate croissants and bacon, egg, and cheese biscuits!

This place is super cute and aesthetic! It was super crowded when I went, but luckily there was outdoor seating. Overall it was a great experience and I loved the seasonal Gingerbread Latte. This place is also located super close to a sort of tower where you can overlook pretty views! read more

Great coffee shop attached to the Stella Hotel. Tried the drip coffee along with a cold coffee both were very good. Also tried the blueberry muffin which was very good. The staff was very well trained in customer service and efficient at filling orders. Definitely worth a stop if you are in the area or staying at the Stella. read more

Texas, youre killing with your Coffey, game. But this place gets a little bit closer to what I'm used to. The entryway is a little odd but it works. The barista was friendly enough and their menu seems pretty diverse. Lots of coffee/espresso drinks along side some alcoholic bevvies. The ambience is halfway between college coffee shop and hipster meats southern coffee shop which is all right. It definitely caters to the college students, which what in this town doesn't. In terms of the coffee I was pretty impressed with the vanilla latte I ordered! 90% of the lattes I've ordered in this town are extremely creamy and or overly sweet. This one was a bit on the sweeter side, though the vanilla flavor I got was very soft. You could actually taste the espresso so it kind of felt like a bit more of a regular latte rather than a flavored one. Still pretty good though. Only complaint was that the espresso was a little on the Burnside, which is really just a common feature of Coffey,'s in Texas. Still pretty tasty, but nothing beats my love for sweet bloom coffee. read more

Beautiful location at the Lake Walk/Traditions area. I love being able to get coffee from my favorite local coffee from Independence Roasters (Black Truck Coffee in Brenham) without the drive. I haven't tried food from here, but there seems to be a decent selection. It's a quiet atmosphere most of the time, with both inside and outdoor seating options. They also seem to be doing a good job with Covid protocols. It is pricey, more so than any of the fast food coffee options, but not really more than the downtown shoppes. read more

POV Is good for doing work and our coffee came out in less then 5 minutes. The service was nice and quick. Recommend the Cinatra. read more

Great service, everyone is so friendly. Love their bacon egg & cheese biscuit. Very good place to work from home or study because it has an airy atmosphere. read more

It's one of the better coffee shops in the Bryan/College station area, lots of seating but usually tables inside are filled with students, outside seating is usually open. Staff is always very friendly and fast. There's typically long lines but you don't end up waiting very long with as quick and efficient as they are. Not accepting cash is my biggest complaint but that's becoming more the norm unfortunately. read more

The people working there were nice and accommodating. The coffee wasn't anything special.

Lots of seating and coffee options, but not many outlets. Not a place to go if you want a full meal, though. There's a selection of pastries (typical muffins, scones, and croissants) and maybe a couple small breakfast sandwiches, but that's about all. Great place to got for outdoor seating, a quieter place to work, or grabbing a coffee with a friend. read more

Absolutely horrible tasting overpriced coffee. However, the tea is good as are their pastries. Their WiFi is good as well. It does get busy so I'd recommend getting there at a decent time to snag a comfortable seat if you plan on being there for a long study session. read more

The current staff is very friendly and go out of their way to make you happy. I have learned to go there about midmorning. That is when they restock on sweets. I do wish that they would either get Diet Coke or Coke Zero. The only diet drink stocked is Diet DrPepper. They are usually open on holidays which is nice. They usually wish me a good day when I leave. Thank you!!!! read more

I was so happy to find this coffee shop!! Put a smile on my face when I found out it was open at 6am. We were staying at The Stella Hotel and this is literally right out the door to your left 100 steps. Has a Starbucks vibe. Clean. Comfortable. Many types of seating areas inside and outside. Charging stations. Nice bathrooms. Didn't try any of their pastries. Coffee was hot and fresh, couldn't ask for anything more. read more

POV - The Pumpkin Maple Pancake - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Bryan, Texas

This was my first visit at this coffee shop - prices are a little high, but the pastries are wonderful! I had a chocolate chip muffin that they heated up before giving to me and it was delicious! There were lots of chocolate chips so that made me really happy! My friend loves their savory sausage kolache! We also split the mudslide tart - the crust is superb and the filling is nice and light! My friend enjoys their specialty coffee drinks, but being a tea drinker myself, I chose a classic Jasmine tea. They only have 4 tea options, but my tea was quite delicious. The ambience of the cafe is quite nice! It's right next to a small lake and in the summer has a nice breeze and pretty view. There is also ample parking available! Would definitely come back! read more

I can't believe I forgot to leave this place a review, as this establishment is the cleanest and cutest cafe I've come across in Bryan/College Station! WiFi works well, too, if you're looking for a place to get some work or studying done. I only wish that they include some vegan options in their bakery selection, as they don't seem to have any at the moment :'( read more

Love this place! They serve Merit coffee, which is based out of San Antonio (Local coffee for the win). It's such a quaint environment with nice outdoor and indoor seating. Great customer service! Definitely my new study spot. Recently tried the basic latte - it was very tasty and flavorful without any additions. Also ordered the sunrise for a friend - she said it was delicious! read more

Just as expensive, if not more, the starbucks with way less sugar free options. Always crowded with poor service BUT the outside area is amazing! read more

POV's environment and view is my favorite out of all the coffee shops in the College Station/Bryan Area. There is a lot of natural lighting due to the glass walls and there is an outside patio with lots of tables and chairs too. It does get very crowded often and may be difficult to find seating sometimes. The drinks are more expensive than I would be willing to pay for, though. read more

A very good place. I like the pie here so much. The apple pie is very tasty. The coffee is good, a bit over sweet to me but it's okay. I like the environment here. Not too noisy or quiet but maintained a good level of "one can talk comfortably with their friends or one can focus on their work without problems". I like the natural light here during the morning time. Def a good coffee shop. Might try to do lunch here in the future read more

POV - Apple pie with The star (coffee) - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Bryan, Texas

POV is a new coffee shop that recently opened up right next to the Stella Hotel. The area itself is beautiful as it is in front of the Lakefront. The coffee shop has that brand new restaurant feel. It is super clean, has plenty of seats (both indoor and outdoor), and best of all-lots of power outlets! There's no doubt the look of this coffee shop is nice but the most important question is, "how is the coffee?" POV uses beans from Merit Coffee Roasting Co. from San Antonio. I ordered a caramel latte and my husband ordered a drip. My latte was more sweet than I would have liked and the drip was OK. The staff all seemed nice but we didn't feel like the quality of the coffee was that great. May be the lack of experience in coffee making as it is new. As far as food, there is a variety of sandwiches, salads, and desserts. We had a mudslide chocolate tart which was good. read more

This is definitely my favorite study spot in the College Station/Bryan area! The view from the place is great and gets better the later it gets in the day. It's currently in an area in Bryan that's under development and I personally love how detached it is from the hustle and bustle of traffic closer to A&M's campus. The baristas are always such a pleasure to chat with and are pretty fast. The coffee is good depending on what you get and (this is weird) but somehow tastes like beef to me LOL. Especially the cappuccino. I definitely had to give P.O.V. Another try to get that taste out of my mouth. The one thing that I order every time that never fails me is an iced Sunset, and I'll be set until closing time. P.O.V. Does get busy during finals time but every coffee place does. Get there early to snag a good seat! There is not a shortage of plugs here unless you're sitting outside or the one long table in the middle of the coffee shop. Give this place a try and you'll be hooked. read more

POV - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Bryan, Texas

Although this is a very nice space, great for studying I'm sure, it was not very family friendly but for a college town it's understandable. This review is primarily based on the coffee itself as well as the service. The menu was full of specialty coffee drinks that seemed all over the place.. I ordered a regular cortado, and my girlfriend ordered a "midnight yell". The barista was nice enough but was trash talking coffee shops like Dutch bros while bragging about how fast he was. He whipped up the drinks pretty fast sure but very poorly. The cortado was comprised of Sour Espresso and scalded milk. I don't think 3rd wave esque shops should have full specialty coffee menus when they cannot make classics.. The specialty drink "midnight yell" was a mixture of sour espresso and unmeasured sweeteners with a tiny scoop of ice which melted very quickly. The cortado, tho poor, was drinkable but my girlfriends drink went straight into the trash. read more

Place looks amazing! Coffee, tea, AND sandwiches is a stretch. It appeared that they only had muffins and croissants but I could be wrong. They should also update their hours because I went out of my way to stop here (friend's recommendation) but when I showed up they said they were closed. Not sure what their actual hours are because I didn't see them posted either. POV, please be better. read more

Price for a hot coffee was reasonable, but it was weak tasting and bland. I'd rather have a McDonald's coffee for 1/2 the price, and it'd taste better too. read more

Ended up getting a medium bonefire with a 10% ended up being over six dollars so more expensive then Starbucks plus i didn't really taste any of the other flavors just coffee and ice which is disappointing I was looking forward to the toasted marshmallow. The coffee was good but it is more on the expensive side. read more
