Great coffee and such a cool space! Enjoyed the Miel Rosada latte. Did not realize it was going to be matcha but actually really enjoyed it. Which surprised me! Also had the last mexicana latte which was excellent! Will definitely visit when in the area again! Tons of free parking. read more

Such a fun, creative little spot -- the kind of place you walk into and immediately know you're going to stay longer than you planned. The vibe is lively but cozy, the coffee was amazing, and the staff was genuinely warm and welcoming. The tacos? SO good. I was personally heartbroken (okay, mildly devastated) that they sold out of the barbacoa so early in the morning -- which honestly just tells you how good it must be. I'll definitely be back to get my hands on one next time. In the meantime, the chorizo and egg breakfast taco absolutely delivered. The flour tortilla tasted fresh and authentic, soft with just the right chew. And the lemon cake? A total sleeper hit -- bright, moist, and the perfect sweet bite to finish everything read more

Segundo is located in a little marketplace-esque area in Eado. There's a large parking lot across the street, and I also saw a few cars parked on the side of the building - I'm assuming for quick coffee pickups. I got the canela shaken espresso with normal milk which is 2% instead of whole which I feel is more common for coffee shops. I could've done with a little less honey as the honey flavor was really strong, but otherwise it was a good drink. I also caved and got the chorizo and egg breakfast burrito. With some added cilantro and the green salsa, it was a very good breakfast burrito. My coffee was about $7 which is a bit up there, but I'd say any place is worth trying once! I like their variety of options/flavors and service was nice. read more

I came to Segundo to do work because it was about 10 minutes from where I live, and I've been hunting for new coffee shops to try. It's found in a modern, industrial building called Ironworks, and consists of several small vendors, studios, and office spaces, which is really neat! A nice third space, for sure, and there was plenty of space to lounge and work. Many of the boutique shops were expensive, though, so I'd treat them as window-shopping places rather than shops I'd actually spend money on. Unfortunately, I was pretty underwhelmed by my drink... I ordered the La Mexicana Iced Latte with oat milk, as I was told it was one of their most popular drinks. It was very creamy, not too sweet, and had a vanilla flavor. The coffee was so subtle that it felt like I was drinking straight milk at one point; I don't think I could justify spending $7.58 for how bland it tasted. Segundo and Ironworks are decent places, but I don't want to visit again. read more

I really enjoyed visiting Segundo Coffee Lab. I like the industrial vibe, as it's located in Iron Works surrounded by other small businesses and shops. I tried the cold brew "cafe de olla" which was strong and bitter and topped with a vanilla, cinnamon cold foam. I wanted to have it as authentic as they made it but if I were to order again I'd add in a syrup or milk base to sweeten it up a bit. They all serve empanadas which was my personal favorite! They fry them fresh so it took about 10 minutes or so but definitely worth the wait! The bread was so soft and the birria was so flavorful and the spicy salsa paired so well with it. read more

I love me a good cup of coffee! This place delivered. It's a small shop, that gives big flavors. Not only do they serve fresh coffee, they also have coffee options for you to purchase and make at home. In addition, they have pastries, juice/water options, and other merch to buy. If you ever stop by Ironworks, make sure to head on over and grab some coffee from them. read more

Segundo Coffee Lab is in a cool industrial space with a couple of other food and drink options and lots of cute local shops and service providers. There's a good amount of communal style seating indoor and some tables out front as well. I was excited to try their lattes and specials. I got one of the spring specials on their board called the Miel Rosada. It was a honey latte with rose cold foam and cocoa powder. It was overall not a bad iced latte, but the flavors were very subtle. I didn't get much honey, rose, or cocoa powder. My partner got a Thai especial latte, which has Thai tea flavor and some of the iconic orange color. Again, the flavors were more muted than we were hoping. Along with my latte, I grabbed a lemon poppy seed muffin. It's gigantic, has icing on top, and lots of poppyseeds inside. I enjoyed this more. You could probably split it among two people and be satisfied. Their strawberry cruffin was also tasty, and their counter has a variety of sweet and savory breakfast bites. Lastly, I thought the level of service and friendliness of the employees and baristas was great. I hope I can return at some point to try other drinks and bump my rating up. read more

I've been to this place so many times to study, and now I'm finally giving this wonderful coffee place a review. To start off, I love how creative this place gets with their drinks. The whimsical names bring me joy every time I read the options out loud. The baristas are so friendly and patient with my friends and I because we're kinda an indecisive bunch lol. Overall, I highly recommend coming here, none of the drinks I ordered were ever bad (knock on wood). Affordable drinks! Great vibes! read more

PSA: If you are a fan of strawberry matcha, the one served up at Segundo Coffee Lab is unmatched anywhere else. I first tried Segundo's strawberry matcha in May 2024 last year (it was on their spring menu), and I was hoping it wasn't just a seasonal drink. Great news is they still offer it; and now, I'm seeing strawberry matcha pop up on menus everywhere. And I've tried versions at 10+ places across Houston and Austin... and Segundo's is the best. Their recipe is made from scratch- you can feel the texture of the actual strawberry seeds. Okay... that it all. read more

This place was really unique. It's inside iron works which looks like shipping container. You can add THC or CBD to drinks. They had specialty drinks like a Thai tea espresso(which is what I got) it tasted just like Thai tea. They even have pastries. Service wasn't bad but I could tell it would be hard to hear your name being called in there for your coffee. read more

Staff is pretty friendly and they seem to operate well out of ironworks. I didn't think anything much of the coffee. It was just.. meh for me. I also tried their beef empanada and it wasn't bad, but the shell was hard and just not a pleasant bite. I think Houston has a lot of better spots, but if you're looking for a spot to study and to be able to do a bit of local shopping, it's a good spot to check out. read more

Segundo Coffee Lab - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Houston, Texas

I come here for this specific drink after my friend recommended it. I love it. Especially since I don't care for coffee taste and more for "how is this different in flavor," I get only one shot so if you share that mindset for coffee, this drink will satisfy you. I also get it with 2% milk (not lactose intolerant yet!) so it feels smooth but not too thick as I am a natural skim milk drinker. For their spooky menu, they have a ube coffee which was good that my partner got. I've also had their breakfast tacos and avocado toast and they were satisfying but they're in this ironworks building, other food options exist. I can't wait to move back to Houston to get this drink more often! read more

Good coffee and even better baked goods! Segundo is located in a more industrial part of town, right near some warehouses and train tracks. Inside a big warehouse itself, Segundo has their own little booth on the side, across a CBD shop. There are plenty of drink offerings. My husband enjoyed his coffee, my sons enjoyed the chocolate croissant and I enjoyed the delicious pistachio muffin. If you're looking for something different to do, definitely come by and take a look at all the clothing and trinket shops while sipping on your coffee and enjoying your pistachio muffin! read more

I ordered a pistachio latte here and I unfortunately wasn't a fan... the syrup didn't taste nutty at all and I couldn't tell what I was tasting to be honest. It was a weird chemical aftertaste to put it plainly. The location itself is pretty cool though. There's lots of small vendors selling their goods and plenty of tables for hanging out or studying. read more

I absolutely love the la Mexicana latte here! It is one of the best drinks I have had in such a long time, and one often return for.

Came for a quick study session and I think it's a pretty nice place to do some work. Lots of seating and good wifi. But it's not the quietest place if that what you are looking for. Parking was also super easy with the lot across the street. I really enjoyed my drink. I got the Thai especial latte which was a Thai tea and shot of espresso I believe. It had a Thai tea taste but I feel like it was not super distinct and like hard to recognize as Thai tea. But it was really good and had a really strong flavor. I can't say I was a fan of the empanada though. It didn't have much flavor and the texture of the dough threw me off a little. It kinda just felt a bit dry. The workers were nice and helpful. Pretty neutral experience I would say. Either way I feel like I'd come back to try their other drinks and I overall like the atmosphere. read more

I finally tried Segundo and it did not disappoint! I got an iced churro latte with almond milk and it was delicious. It was slightly pricey with the alternate milk (~$7). It's in a industrial warehouse building with other vendors. There's plenty of parking and seating options. I'd definitely go back again. read more

Disclaimer: I'm on a hunt for the best cafe to work from as I'm working remote. My review is based on factors for a good place to work from and not necessarily the coffee or food. Overall great cafe for work and coffee. Noise level - 64 db quiet conversation Wifi speed - 114 down 144 up Power plugs - around 6 Seats - 10 indoors Parking - free 10 lots The barista was very friendly and introduced me to the place and told me they roast their own coffee beans here. My flat white came within 5 minutes and was delicious. The place is small so you're not fighting with a lot of people to use the internet but you'll have to be here early to grab a spot. I was here at 9am and got a table next to the power plug. The tables are also close to each other so it's hard to have meetings if everyone is speaking loudly. I'll definitely recommend this cafe for quiet work. read more

Visiting from out of town and needed a solid cup of coffee while passing through Houston--so glad I stumbled upon Segunda Coffee Lab at Ironworks! This place is truly a hidden gem. The menu had a great selection of drinks and pastries, and I ended up going with the Café de Olla Cold Brew--absolutely delicious! I'm so glad I skipped Starbucks for this because the cinnamon cold foam was hands down the best I've ever had. I could easily drink 10 of these! #SLB My friend got the jasmine tea, and it was just as impressive. The raw honey added the perfect touch of sweetness. Beyond the coffee, Ironworks itself was such a cool spot--a cozy, creative space with plenty of seating and unique little shops to explore. Wish I had more time to relax and take it all in, but I'll definitely be back for the Segunda time! Highly recommend stopping by if you're in the area! read more

Absolutely love this cafe! Every coffee I've tried has been delicious and the pastries are super good. I definitely recommend the abuelita loca and pingüino latte. This cafe is located inside of the ironworks so you can also get other food options from different food/drink places and there are other different shops there to take a look at! The staff at the coffee lab is super sweet and quick. Pretty huge on the laidback work environment as I've seen many students, workers and meetings going on both individually and as groups. There is plenty of parking across the street in a lot and plenty of seating inside with plugs nearby if you need to do work! read more

Segundo Coffee Lab - Abuelita loca latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Houston, Texas

This is an awesome coffee shop tucked in the Ironworks building. I loved the variety on their menu, with unique drinks like Thai coffee and a hot chocolate coffee drink with a $1 charge for oat milk. The variety and creativity in their menu is unmatched compared to other Houston coffee shops I have seen, which I appreciate as someone that is less of a coffee purist and more of a innovative drink seeker. I also ordered a chorizo taco, which while affordable at around $3, was ok - in hindsight, I might have checked out some of the other food options instead, as my friend who got the overnight oats found it to be a huge hit with not only herself but her toddler as well. Service was a bit slow on a bustling Sunday, but that is to be expected. There is ample seating inside, from comfy couches to your more standard dining table set-up. The open air layout makes this good for larger groups with the option to browse at nearby stores as well. Overall, I would recommend this place as a must-visit for anyone in Houston looking for a coffee shop with great drink options and industrial-chic vibes. read more

Segundo coffee lab is inside of a warehouse with other restaurants and retail stores. This is a great place to spend a Sunday as you can walk around and take a look at the other shops. Segundo is Hispanic themed and many of their drinks are named after Hispanic culture. I got a latte and a bacon egg and cheese danish. This was a popular spot among people in Houston. The service was great and the coffee and pastries were both delicious. read more

Got a vanilla latte but it wasn't to my liking. Couldn't taste the coffee. My friends tried the cereal milk latte and they said it just tasted like sweet milk.

Spent all day studying for school at segundo coffee lab with some classmates I got the Thai especial latte, which is made with Thai milk tea and espresso. I really enjoyed my drink, the Thai tea flavor is strong and the flavor is very apparent. The espresso does not overpower the Thai tea flavor, but it enhances the drink very well. My friends thought their drinks were just ok, but really liked mine. There's plenty of seating but not a lot of them have outlets. There's also free wifi. There's also a bunch of small shops and boutiques inside as well. Drink wise I liked the Thai especial latte, but I probably wouldn't study here. read more

I went today as part of a coquette market event and segundo coffee lab had a niña coqueta latte. This was a white chocolate mocha with caramel, and the drink was very cute and honestly exceeded my expectations for a coffee place! The coffee was perfect and the drink itself was not too sweet. It does cost an extra $1 to sub almond/oat milk. I also got a brisket taco, which I thought was just okay. The taco was $4.50 and decently sized, but the brisket meat was a little dry. I probably would not get again. Service was a bit slow because it was super busy, and they forgot my friend's empanada which took even longer, but overall a decent coffee place! read more

I love hanging out here to read or study. My favorite drinks are the flat white and any of the teas. I like the variety of seating. They generally have really good music playing, and there are some great views out of the windows and tons of natural light. Having a ton of free parking makes it easy to visit too, and the staff is very friendly. Sometimes the tables are a little sticky and there can be flies because the front door stays open a lot, but it's not a dealbreaker for me. read more

Ordered a sugar free vanilla breve and it was so gooood. The service was very fast and the staff was kind as well.

Came to check out the unique setup of the warehouse and it's a little underwhelming. Half the building was empty, unfortunately, so there wasn't really much to see. But the location is great for work - not too loud and lots of natural lighting. There's quite a few tables but not a proportional number of outlets so that may be a hit or miss depending on when you go. For the cafe itself, I would say the teas are overpriced for what you get. I got a chai milk tea and while it wasn't bad, the flavor was nothing I would return for at a $7 price point. The baristas were nice, though! read more

I wanted to love this place, especially after seeing such great reviews. Unfortunately, it was a huge disappointment. I'll start with the pros. There was a parking lot. I know that sounds like a silly thing to rave about but I've been to many places downtown that had inadequate parking and they had a nice size lot right across the street. They also give you the ability to order ahead so you don't have to stand in line. I also appreciated the fact that you can choose what kind of milk you want in your tea or coffee. I had great Taro milk tea with oat milk. As far as the cons, the line was long and in an odd place. I kept having to move out of peoples way so they could scan the app to skip the line or throw away trash. The service during ordering was subpar, it felt rushed and the cashier seemed a bit short. The food was the biggest disappointment. My partner ordered one sausage and one bacon breakfast taco. He didn't like it but he doesn't like lots of things so I didn't pay him much mind. But then I ate my jalapeño and queso tamale which was the worst tamale I've ever had in my life. It was mushy and had no flavor. I usually suck it up and eat food I don't like but I took it back. Luckily, the gentleman at the counter was kind enough to make me another. He said if I didn't like the second one I could get a refund. Unfortunately, I hated it but I decide to just throw it away. I also got a pork empanada which also lacked flavor but was at least edible. Overall, I was unimpressed with the food given the bland taste, unpleasant texture, and kids meal portion despite the adult prices. I likely won't return. read more

No one prepared me for the awesomeness of Segundo Coffee Lab. Having done zero research, I was expecting it to be every other quaint cafe but I couldn't have been more wrong. It's a lovely venue space; complete with boutique businesses for additional shopping and plenty of room to sit around and work / lounge / and people watch. Coffee wise, I'm happy with what I tend to get. They serve a pretty good cold brew, as well as any of their lattes. There is no shortage of drinks, just as there is a number of food items. There are tacos, empanadas, kolaches with a twist, and various pastries (shout out ube muffin!) that go well with any of their drinks. Another plus is their WiFi. I've streamed a number of videos here with zero buffer. It's also quiet enough to get some work done and the best thing about a big place is being able to move around. There is definitely no shortage of parking and I hope they continue to keep impressing is all. Some suggestions to management: create more outlets where there is seating. Currently it's only spots along the wall and/or corners but if there were some in the middle of the room (ground outlets + extensions?), it would be a huge difference maker. Speaking of corners, someone needs to dust off the cobwebs; I've watched a number of people sit in the corners and walk out with (spider) threads attached to their bag / body etc. At the end of the day, this is definitely a cool place to spend some time at. I appreciate the seclusion of the neighborhood / location and look forward to more visits here down the line. read more

Felt that this wasn't the best coffee I've had. I would likely stop elsewhere if given the choice honestly. If you want meh food I would come back. The best part of this spot is honestly the converted shipping containers within the building. Exploring the little shops was nice. read more

Second Ward, especially Milby Street, is one of my favorite parts of town, and I've had Segundo Coffee Lab on my list of places to try for a while. I love how various businesses are set up inside the Ironworks building. The setting is unique, and out of the box compared to most Houston indoor dining courts. I walked up to Segundo rather indecisive, so I just let the friendly barista make a suggestion, which ended up being the La Mexicana iced coffee. This is sublime iced coffee with a hint of sweetness and cinnamon, which is a flavor I really appreciate when it comes to coffee. Highly recommended. read more
