Yummy coffee with some interesting choices for folks who like coffee drinks like lattes, frappuccinos, freddos and so on. Cool vibe inside with plenty of seating. A few tables are outside as well. Didn't try their food but I sure looked at other peeps plates and it looks really good as well! Next time ;) I will be back! read more

Roast & Brew Cafe - Americano - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Houston, Texas

My morning ritual during my trip to Houston was to try a different coffee spot each day. Roast & Brew had good reviews, so I decided to stop by. I got the Americano ($4), and it was solid. Their slogan is "Support your local caffeine dealer," and I was happy to oblige. Overall, a nice spot to grab some coffee and start the day. read more

We stumbled upon this cafe trying to kill time and what an adventure this was. To their many offerings of coffee and breakfast sandwiches; to their assortment of pastries. This was a fantastic spot to stop in for a coffee. My wife ordered the feta cheese flatbread with chicken that was great! It was tender and soft; which the bread needed to be a bit crispier. I ordered the breakfast croissant with sausage. This would have been entirely bland had the sausage not save the sandwich. The potatos and side salad were a nice touch to the croissant. The sad part of our meal was the blueberry pastry. The blueberries were delicious but the pastry was thick and not flaky. Overall; their coffee is amazing but their food items are a miss read more

We wanted to try something new for breakfast so Roast & Brew looked like a great option. Great reviews and the photos of the food looked great. The ambiance was great. It was nice and quiet so we felt bad bringing our 22 month old son since a lot of people seemed to be working. The staff was nice, but not overly helpful. The food and the prices were less than desirable. We ordered drip coffee, a hot mocha latte, two breakfast sandwiches (one with ham and the other with bacon), a blueberry scone, and a Greek style-phyllo party. The drop coffee was tiny for $3.49 (with $1.08 refill, seriously), recommend getting it in a to-go cup. Mocha was really good and a good size. The sandwiches were decent, but have had a lot better. Scone was decent, but nothing of note. Finally the phyllo dough pastry should have been their star, but it was soggy and barely warm. Asked them to reheat it, still not crispy as phyllo should be. Will I return? Likely no, unless I just want a mocha. With all the other coffee spots in the Heights, this isn't the start. Recommend going to Jane and the Lion or Angela's Oven if you're looking for a better experience with similar offerings. read more

Lovely place but the WiFi is really bad. Keeps dropping every 5 min and very Unstable. Please get it fixed read more

Quite the cute and comfy place! I ordered both the pistachio baklava and the chai latte with oat milk. I was slightly disappointed with the baklava, it wasn't bad by any means but it lacked the sweetness and stickiness I've come to expect from arguably one of the tastiest pastries of all time. The pistachio flavor very much overpowered the baklava aspects of the dish, so I could see it being less of an issue with other flavors. The chai latte on the other hand was quite delectable, it had just the right amount of spice and the flavor was both rich and consistent through the entire drink. I was also really impressed by the presentation, both the drink and the dishware brought much joy to my soul. Will definitely be coming back here! read more

Parking lot on the smaller side, so parked on the side street. They offer decaf expresso and sugarfree hazeulnut syrup, good latte (2 shots of expresso so keep that in mind). Came in Sunday around 3pm and it was full inside, lots of people are working/studying, seating outside available (but since it's hot), we left. read more

Loved the vibe of this cafe, big fan of the dim, warm lighting. I ordered a banana mocha which had a strong banana flavor. Super yummy! Cane with a small sweet cookie on the side. Service was good and there was someone to clean up when we finished our drinks. Music was very interesting, they played eccentric beats but it was good to study to. Only complaint was that it was really crowded when I went and a lack of outlets for table seating. Also parking was very difficult to find! read more

Roast & Brew Cafe - Banana mocha - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Houston, Texas

Overall such a cute place, and it was open pretty late at night. We arrived at the place around 10 pm at night and it was one of the only restaurants that were open. Service was fast and ordered at the counter. I ordered the kebabs and it was quite a bit of food I was able to get 2 meals out of it. It was pretty tasty an exactly what I wanted at the time. Seating is around 30 ish people inside with various booths and tables. They have a small lot for parking around the restaurant. I will say, probably around peak times, parking would probably be extremely tight. There was protein, rice and grilled veges so I felt like it was a super balanced meal. Super tasty and would recommend. They also have sandwich's and coffee served at night as well. read more

Strong WiFi. Parking is sparse but people move in and out quickly on a Saturday morning, so you're able to get lucky! Tried this place post Pilates because of the reviews and the coffee is great. I also loved that it's large from inside with plenty of seating so I can see myself coming back and working from here. Solid coffee shop in the heights that I can't wait to visit again. read more

Roast & Brew Cafe - Cappuccino and Peppermint Mocha - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Houston, Texas

I ordered the small vanilla cappuccino. The price was almost or about $5 or so, I was expecting less but a did read a news article about the price of coffee increasing. I was looking to try something different and would pass this place frequently. Decided to stop and order. Cashier was not really helpful as I was new, I guess I could have asked for a suggestion. Quick service though on a Tuesday morning. read more

Roast & Brew Cafe - I appreciate this sign so much! Folks need to understand the difference between an emotional and support animal! Thank ya! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Houston, Texas

The Heights is home to a number of cafes, but few offer the kind of space that Roast & Brew has to offer. While the coffee is was what I came for, the abundance of chairs and solid access to WiFi and outlets is what got me to stay. Plus the notion of a European style cafe *and* coffeehouse was the appeal. On an average day, it's a hub for young professionals and remote workers rocking some kind of beverage and/or snack. The natural lighting is a nice touch, but I also appreciate the use of shades when it's too bright. There are many outlets along the u-shaped cushioned seats near the front windows. It's really just a matter of a snagging a spot since it's so popular here. House music tends to be the choice here, which might be a slight deterrent for taking calls. Just the sheer amount of people (#1) don't make it completely ideal for a coffee meeting / date, but lounging is also encouraged. The hibiscus tea ($4.70) and my nitro cold brew ($5.25) were both refreshing in their own way. The latter had a nice aftertaste and felt strong enough to sip versus guzzle. They also offer champagne, premium wines, and a good amount of craft beers, both locally and internationally. There is an all day breakfast available, which includes a customized omelette ($9.49), breakfast sandwiches ($9.95), and a breakfast plate that includes hash brown patties, sourdough bread and eggs. The rest of the menu has a Middle Eastern flair to it, which includes kebabs ($17), gyros ($15.45), along with falafel salads and sandwiches. I thought their cheeseburger ($13.75) looked so tasty and I would definitely consider trying their pasta options ($14-15). Service was the highlight for me, since they were engaging, friendly, and were generous with the samples. Only issue was that they weren't the quickest with bussing tables, which forces a lot of patrons to wipe down the spots themselves. When they did buss the tables, I noticed no microfiber or any cleaning solution. Lastly, parking is substantial with a dedicated lot, but for a full house, most of the parking will be across the street. Be careful when crossing the road. __________ (#1) And people watching. read more

Found this coffee shop through google and it's so cute this is my second day in a row being here. I wanted a coffee shop with work space, WiFi, accessible plugs, no loud music and actual food options and this has EVERYTHING! The omelette I had yesterday was so good I went to buy all the ingredients to make my own at home, but you know how sometimes you do it yourself and it's not as good? I didn't want to risk it. So. I'm back The young ladies making the coffee are sweet and helpful. Coffee you get at the counter. Food they bring to you. There is a breakfast and lunch menu with FOOD FOOD on it. Not just pastries. They have beer and wine options as well. I love it here! read more

This coffee shop was lovely for studying! The ambiance was great, with a majority of the customers working, having a coffee meeting, or studying, so it felt like a very productive atmosphere. A nice spot if you need a meal + need to get some work done. Lots of outlets along the edges of the restaurant. The coffee (flat white) was excellent as well and came with a shortbread cookie! Got fries as a little snack, and would probably pass on them next time. Just a bit limp and didn't have the iconic crisp fry texture to them. read more

Roast & Brew Cafe - Flat White - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Houston, Texas

Roast & Brew is such a cute neighborhood gem in the Heights. I stopped in while waiting for my tires to get fixed down the street and was pleasantly surprised by the vibe. Plenty of people were hanging out, working, and enjoying a laid-back morning. I ordered an iced flat white and the traditional breakfast. The eggs over medium were perfect. My only gripe? The hash browns. They were chopped up like home fries, and honestly, can we as a society just agree to follow Waffle House's lead and standardize shredded hash browns as the gold standard? Let's unify, people. That said, everything tasted great. And bonus points to the team at the counter who were kind enough to loan me a phone charger after mine died mid-bike ride. You can bike here from Midtown almost entirely on trails, with just a few small detours due to construction. Super convenient. Also worth noting: they had some unique food in the chilled case like feta pie and rice pudding. Definitely not your average café snack situation. I'm looking forward to coming back and exploring more of their menu. Great spot for locals, cyclists, or anyone looking for good coffee, good vibes, and a solid breakfast. read more

I tried this place for the first time and was thoroughly impressed. The interior is beautiful and quaint, with a bold decor style that was absolutely my vibe. There were plenty of seating options, both booths and tables. Ordering was easy and the service was great. I love how the pastry display was clearly visible and how fast our drink orders were made. I ordered the croissant breakfast sandwich and was blown away. The croissant was flaky and buttery and the fillings of sausage and egg, among others, were complementary. The caramel macchiato with almond mild was also just the right amount of sweetness. I am so glad to add this wonderful breakfast spot to my go-to list! read more

Staff was polite and service quick. The coffee was decent but not something I would be eager to come back for, I got a Carmel macchiato and maybe there was not enough syrup or mixed throughly so it lacked flavor, the seating inside was ample with a cozy vibe and not too loud. Good for focusing and getting work done! read more

My siblings and I are very picky about everything but they liked it a lot! The caramel macchiato was the perfect blend of strong and sweet, I'm usually scared of one overpowering the other but there was a perfect balance! The Gyro was simple and not overwhelming at all, perfect as a light lunch. We enjoyed our visit. read more

I love Roast & Brew and will continue coming back because the coffee is amazing. Taste & quality wise, probably top 3 in Houston. However, i legitimately felt like I was inconveniencing the barista today by ordering a drink. Which is why im dropping a star. She truly looked perturbed that I was even there. Zero personality or customer service whatsoever. I'll give her the benefit of the doubt and assume it was a bad day, but keep in mind, these things matter when you're customer facing. People remember their entire experience in the store. Not just the taste. read more

Got Caffeine? Roast & Brew does!! Not only do they serve a variety of delish drinks, they also serve some cold beer and wine. What a fun place and lots of seats indoors and outdoors.

This place was so good! Staff was friendly & welcoming. The coffee & food was delicious. Ambiance was warm & welcoming.

This spot is such a lovely spot, we went on a Sunday and it was basically packed, very small parking lot. The restaurant was quite loud & loads of people for breakfast / day drinking / just work and vibes, overall we thoroughly enjoyed the experience. I got the Breakfast Croissant with Bacon (4.5/5) & it was delicious, portion was great. My boyfriend got the Avocado Toast & said it was delicious too. My boyfriend complimented how the potato (included with my breakfast croissant) was cooked very nicely too. You self served knife, spoon, napkin, sauces, minor things like that. The servers will come around to refill your water whenever they can :) read more

Met up with some friends to study here on a weekend. This place is Greek owned. They have a bunch of small tables along the walls with some decent sized ones in the middle. I decided to get the Greek frappe. Maybe I should've chosen a safer pick because I did not enjoy this drink at all. The coffee was very bitter and the foam was very thick and did not mix with it at all. Individually they both were not that good to me. Maybe this is not my taste but I did not have fun trying to finish this. Parking is also very small and you have to park across the street if the lot fills up. The only thing good about this place is that they're open until midnight read more

Cold day in the city and was craving a hot breakfast and warm coffee. This place really exceeded my expectations. I ordered an omelette (cheese, onions, and sausage) and a hot caramel macchiato. I must say i really enjoyed it! It came out in a decent amount of time too. It was a week day and around lunch time and the inside was pretty full as well as the parking lot and street parking. I can definitely see this place being packed to the brim on weekends! So glad I stopped by and and I will definitely be back! read more

I have been a regular since Roast & Brew opened. It's great to have a casual and hip coffee shop with plenty of indoor and outdoor space, that offers great coffee, food, alcohol and opens late. I'm a fan of the Greek frappe for a hot day, or a plain latte or flat white for some warmth. With plenty of pastries, breakfast and lunch options, you can really spend hours here and no need to relocate to somewhere else. It does get pretty busy, and people tend to post there for a while so tables could be limited. read more

Roast and Brew is definitely an underrated spot in the heights. It's a huge working from home spot during the week so keep that in mind, many people are camped out there and there are a ton of outlets, but with the amount of people there it can be hard to find one. I love their omelette plate with potatoes. The potatoes are so crispy but soft on the inside in the best way. Their lattes are always solid as well. I don't enjoy their smoothies as much as they are a little too sweet for my liking, but I'm probably in the minority! read more

Low-key Greek with great gyro plate and incredible coffee. Great patio, good atmosphere.

On a day off from school, my friends and I decided to try this place to study for finals. The decorations and the different seating options made the place feel more welcoming and homey. There were tons of smaller tables near ports along the sides which were really convenient and perfect for studying or working. However, the drink I ordered was a little disappointing. The matcha had good reviews so I wanted to try. The matcha color and ratio was good but it was not smooth. The matcha was still clumpy and made the texture a little chunky and grainy. I also asked for it to be sweetened with vanilla but I couldn't taste it at all. 4/10 read more

Roast & Brew Cafe - Matcha latte with vanilla - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Houston, Texas

I placed a takeout order here, and while the ordering process itself was smooth, the in-person pickup experience was disappointing. The woman at the register (brown, shoulder-length hair) came across as dismissive. I greeted her, and her first response was, "Can you please wait?" despite there being no one else in line. After that, she took my payment with no further interaction. Additionally, I was surprised to see that hot food was packaged in Styrofoam containers. Most coffee shops have moved toward recyclable or paper-based packaging to reduce environmental impact and limit exposure to harmful materials, so this was unexpected and off-putting. Overall, the food was average and not worth the drive or the lack of customer service. With so many other coffee shop options in the area, I won't be ordering from here again. read more

Such a cool place with an incredibly knowledgeable and friendly staff. The matcha latte and fries were delicious and the cafe itself was a total vibe.

After getting a haircut and grabbing lunch, I was looking for a spot to do some work in the area. Roast & Brew was in the area so I made my way over on a weekday afternoon. While they have a decent-sized lot, all of the spots were taken. It seems like Roast & Brew is a popular spot! I ended up parking across the street for free so no biggie. Ambiance (4/5): Like most coffee shops, there are plenty of places to sit including chairs and tables vs. sofas. There are outlets so you can plug in your devices. They have free WiFi. They have chill music playing. It's a good spot to get some work done or study. Service (4/5): Not a big part of the experience as you place your order at the counter and they call your name when it's ready. Food (N/A): I had lunch prior so I didn't dabble. They do have various pastries, desserts, and some heartier hot items (Mediterranean fare) though. Drinks (4/5): I'm not a coffee drinker so I'm probably not the greatest judge of the selection here. I tend to gravitate toward tea, juices, and smoothies at coffee shops. They don't have an incredible selection in this area. I went with a sparkling water. I would have liked to see more on the iced tea/juices side of things that are made in house. If you're looking for a cool place to study or get some work done, Roast & Brew makes for a fine selection. read more

Very cute cafe to grab some food and good coffee and matcha in the heights! There was lots of people here working during the day, so it was not loud, good background music and prices for food was good! I would recommend this spot if you're looking do some work or catch up with a friend. read more

I tried the "Greek Frappe" and found it lacking in flavor; it felt quite watered down. When the cashier asked if I wanted it sweetened, I thought it would enhance the taste, but sadly, after the first sip, it didn't really meet my expectations. Perhaps they could explore adjusting the ingredients or the preparation method to improve the taste experience. I ordered TWO pistachio baklavas, but I only received one. When I mentioned this, I said it was okay and would pay for another one. Instead of apologizing for the mistake, she responded, "I thought you only said one," while rudely ringing me up and arguing with another customer about her error. She should maybe take the time to listen to her customers instead of trying to talk over them. This will be my first and last time here. read more

Update y'all!!! Extra! Extra! Read all about it!!! Biggest thing I look for in places is consistency, but I do feel this place has gone down hill a bit from the food to the service... Came here late on a mid-week to catch up on some work and ordered a flatbread with Caesar salad and a drink...hubs ordered coffee...I ordered the Freddie Cappuccino (GREEK-style iced coffee) and it usually comes in this "milkshake" style glass with a straw but today they served it in a mason jar and it just wasn't the same. Refer to their website and you'll see what it should be served in... Their flatbread tastes barely warm, a blanket of already cooled down cheese, and overall the food did not taste fresh. It's as if the flatbread was sitting out and brought out barely warmed...not crispy and not really tasty at all... I used to love coming here because they were open late and near my apartment at the time, but it doesn't seem worth the drive anymore. Also, service and having sense enough to not clear your table while you're still sitting there and enjoying your drink...one of the staff members who was bussing the tables was trying to see if my San Pellegrino was empty and in the middle of working I had to look up and tell her I wasn't finished yet with it...it was disruptive and I also felt rushed...especially in the evening when you're trying to focus on work and enjoy your time there...wasn't a fan... read more

I was under the impression that the beans were roasted in-house, but instead they are actually supplied by Geva Coffee. I ordered the nitro cold brew. Had a hint of sourness and freezer burn taste, but was still drinkable. Regardless, it gave me the much desired caffeine I was looking for. Interior space was welcoming, with lots of seating and real plants. Nice place to sit and socialize. The service was ok. Nothing good but nothing bad. Just kids behind a counter making coffee (I must be old when I refer to working young adults as kids). An ok stop for coffee and social area, but not for those seeking third wave movement. read more

Met with a friend last week as an alternative to Starbucks. Very cozy space with a good amount of seating despite the busy atmosphere. The volume wasn't too bad, and is a good place to work. The space modern and clean and there's also small pieces of furniture in addition to the standard table and chairs. I had a chai latte and my friend had a flat white; both came out quickly and the quality was great. The pricing is fair and the menu is expansive. The parking lot is small but there's street parking. Hopefully I'll be able to try the food the next time I'm in the area. read more

Pause before ordering from here on Uber eats. They show a photo of the breakfast plate with bacon. I ordered and it came with no bacon, cold eggs and potatos (yes it was uber eats but it was here in 10 mins, no reason for food to be cold). I called about the bacon since this is the best part of course, and they mentioned it doesn't actually come with any bacon and the photo is deceiving. No offer for refund. I ended up throwing away the whole meal and getting a refund on uber eats. The reviews did me wrong this time on this business. read more

This place has ALL the coffee shop vibes. It's a wet and miserable rainy Sunday (following about a week of wet and miserable rainy days) and we're looking for a hot cuppa Joe to warm us up after a lunch out. Tiny parking lot- and it's full even with the deluge of rainfall mid-afternoon. The moment you walk in, you know you're in the right place: indie vibes, international touristy feel. Tattoos piercings and laptops reign next to the "God save the Bean" graffiti. We're currently sitting in low slung back chairs with a tropical plant literally above and between us. TONS of space to sit and work, magazines to flip thru, and easy soft modern music. Ordered the usual: flat white decaf with heavy cream. On first sip, it's a fair bit more foamy than I'd prefer. Yet the coffee is strong and the cup is hot (almost a little too hot) Great place. You can tell it's in the right spot and I'm sure the locals are all about it on the regular.
