Great location in the heart of Second Ward. Super close to the train station. You'd only walk about two blocks south of it. Love the mini market idea. Hardly anything is open during the week but I'm sure it's booming on the weekend. Now for the matcha...they have so many different varieties I had to try too! This might be the most matcha variety I've ever seen! The first one which was a lavender nailed it but the second one the guava was one I was curious to try but probably won't ever try it again, the taste clashed to me. Awesome food options too. I was craving a croissant with ham and cheese but they have tacos and empanadas. I loved it and even ran into a friend. I'll be back!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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!
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!

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

Twas a Saturday afternoon, I had just wrapped up at Moon Tower Inn and needed some energy, so it hit up the Yelps for a power station. And Segundo popped up. Located on the back roads of Eado, this place was right on my route back to HQ. The staff were super friendly, and helpful with the menu suggestions. There is some street parking, and a big lot across the street. I hadn't been here before so I was surprised to see a few different business in the same space. Had I more time, I would've walked a round a bit. The coffee was excellent. I went with a large Iced Pinguino Latte w/oatmilk. It was really good but $8.20 before tip. That's quite a bit for a cup of Joe, as good as it was. I couldn't afford to start a habit there if I wanted to. Hoping they might bring it down a wee bit. That said, you won't be disappointed by what you're drinking. read more

Came here after seeing it during searches for coffee shops nearby. I finally came after also seeing it on the Latin Restuarant Week for Houston. It's a large coffeehouse inside of a renovated warehouse in the historic 2nd Ward/EaDo. The place is Latina owned which is what initially drew me here. After coming, I have zero regrets! First of all, this place is massive. On the first floor they have at least 20-30 tables that each sit multiple people. A good number of them are near outlets and no one was fighting over them. There's also a CBD shop on the first floor. On the second floor there are some boutiques stocked with work from local artists and creators (like @cargovintagehouston on ig). I asked if they had a special for the Latin Restaurant Week and they pointed me to the Mexican Torta and La Mexicana Latte. I went with the latte, a honey, cinnamon, and vanilla mix. It was fantastic. One of the best drinks I've had from coffee shops. Workers were nice. Wifi is reliable. Ambience was cool and perfect for just about any situation. I will definitely be back and will try their food at some point! 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

Everyone's mentioned the location & the service & the CBD so here's are a few nuggets I've yet to see in other reviews: You know that London Fog roll & chicken curry bun I raved about at The Coffee Spot at West End? We'll I guess this shop has the same supplier...which means, again, don't you dare leave without trying the London Fog Roll. In addition to those two, I'll add the chocolate scone to that list- get it hot! On the drink end, their drip coffee is smooth & their espresso is nice. It took me 2 visits to find a drink of choice so I'd give a few a try. I'll also add the Gato Azul (in the to go cooler) to the "try it" list. It taste like cereal milk...a fruit loop, fruity pebble, lucky charms sort of situation (and its blue...so that's fun).The whole case rocks cold drinks with milk alts (usually oat milk) & so far nothing but delicious. Pro Tip: the owner also owns delta 8, so if you grab a gift card, you can use it at either shop! read more

Segundo is a really cute coffee shop with lots of open space for studying or hanging out. It gives off a grungy warehouse vibe which is really unique and also has lots of small shops that you can browse a selection of vintage clothing and jewelry pieces. I got an ice vanilla latte which had a great aftertaste but did not really have the vanilla flavor. However, I would definitely recommend coming to try this spot out and their pastries also look super yummy. Will be back again! read more

Such a spacious, modern coffee shop. There are plenty of places to relax and enjoy their delicious menu items. There are often local vendor fairs at this location which is how I got to check them out. Not only are they a coffee shop but they are also a non-profit fighting to end human trafficking. Such an important cause especially in Houston! We ordered an avocado toast and their signature Pinguino drink. Service was fast & friendly despite there being a busy crowd. Most customers seemed to be very familiar with their menu & the staff still explained their drink menu to us without making us feel rushed. The avocado toast was smothered with a generous amount of avocado, seasoning & huge slices of fresh tomatoes. I don't remember what was in the Pinguino drink but it was really good! We fell in love with this location, their food & their cause! read more

2 HR LIMIT WIFI. Password is on the receipt. Not sure if making another purchase grants you another 2 hrs. DOG FRIENDLY. You can bring your furry friends indoors. Also option to add CBD into your coffee Located in the IRONWORKS warehouse with a large parking lot. Lots of windows so there's a lot of natural lighting & the space feels open. By the time it was noon they already sold out of all their breakfast tacos so I opted for the BRISKET EMPANADA. The empanada was warm, had a good amount meat & delicious! I went with the cashier's reccomendation of the MEXICAN PUMPKIN SPICED LATTE & I was a fan! Not too sweet but still strong & creamy.They play chill lofi music that is relaxing but somehow motivating. The building also houses other local shops for you to browse. The wifi limit is a bit inconvinent if you needed to stay awhile to get work done but it is also a good reminder to maybe take a break & do something else. read more
Segundo Coffee Lab might be the coolest looking coffee shop I've been to in awhile. Located in the new Ironworks building, this place consists of different shops and boutiques all made out of different size shipping containers. I felt like every place here felt like discovering a new hidden gem in Houston. Segundo Coffee Lab has a variety of coffee, specialty drinks, teas, bottomless coffee, monthly drink specials, and an assortment of different Mexican tortas, tacos, and empanadas. They also offer alternative milk options, and the option to add CBD or Delta 8 to any of their drinks. Bottled/canned beers, seltzers, and juices are available as well. This particular visit I tried their July special called "taro cosmico latte," and their shaken espresso w/ oat milk. The taro latte was out of this world because it was the perfect mix of taro and chocolate with their espresso and almond milk. The shaken espresso was really good as well, and I feel like it highlighted the quality of their beans perfectly. As far as seating goes, there's a good variety of seats, couches, and tables. The big industrial style windows let in a lot of natural lighting which I like, but I do wish there were more power outlets available. There were quite a few people here on a Thurs afternoon getting work done, but it was a little loud for me because they're still doing construction on other parts of the building. But as long as you come with some headphones, I would definitely get a coffee and work here again. Cheers! read more

Solid four stars. I think it's really cool they turn the old manufacturing spot where they made BOPs at into a coffee shop. That is really cool actually. According to them this is where the first BOPs were made in the world. I stoped by because I saw the tacos they carry on IG and thought let me go check this place out. The tacos were okay. Not the greatest, not the world. Middle of the mall type tacos. Like riff Raf would say. The coffee was decent. I had to get a different one because the first one I got was quite bitter. They were nice brought to remake. I would definitely stop in or meet clients here for a quick meeting. Really cool set up with great decor. Very spacious. The people that work there are friendly. Definitely supper local business. I think they have been here a few months now. Give them a shot! read more

Thank you so much for your review
Great coffee shop! It's located in this large warehouse that's being repurposed into a new market filled with unique boutiques and shops inside storage containers. It's very upscale industrial and super interesting. They have free wifi, plenty of seating, bright lights, parking and delicious coffee and pastries! I got the la Mexicana latte -- latte with honey and cinnamon. I always worry about getting flavored lattes because it ends up being too sweet, but this was just right! We also got the carrot cake pie which was filled with cream cheese icing, yum, and a bbq kolache. My only gripe is that the bbq kolache had not meat inside, so by definition, it isn't a kolache and more of a bbq bun. It was still tasty, but I was disappointed as I thought it would be something different. Definitely a must visit place to see a different kind of market place and coffee lab! read more
Segundo Coffee Lab is located inside a new Ironworks Marketplace which is home to boutique shops and stands. It's a very hipster feel - there's a small CBD stand in front of the coffee stand. I was expected a more peaceful ambience but was surprised at the feel. It was very busy and loud when we checked it out on a weekend. Not your place to study and get work done. The coffee itself was a little overpriced. We tried the pinguino and thai coffee drinks. Both drinks tasted almost the same. The coffee was good, but I ordered the thai cofee and was not able to taste the thai tea even if the drink was orange tinged. read more
What a cool spot! Indoor with AC and just a chill vibe. The coffee shop called 2nd ward lab has so many different syrups you can add in for lattes. Both the cold brew with CBD and the Honey Lavender Latte were fantastic! Good flavors. The croissants were flaky and buttery! The taro milk tea one had actual boba on top! And the taro flavor/taste was prominent. There's plenty of seating space with low and high cocktail tables and couch seating. There's also a bunch of little shops with plants, thrift clothing, tattoos and others within the building. I really like this concept! Plenty of parking in the lot across the street. Also dog friendly indoors! read more

Thank you so much for your review it’s was great to meet you!! Hope…
I could spend all day here This coffee shop is inside a warehouse where they have a bunch of shipping containers as stores! Delicious coffee, yummy pastries and a cool laid back vibe to work or unwind. If you're so blessed to catch it as we were, there's a barista that sings while she's preparing your order (angelic ). Once you're done reading, studying or working- you can browse the other shops...local artisans/shopkeepers that sell everything from clothes and jewelry to handmade soaps and artwork. read more

Inside Ironworks Market in deep EaDo. Interesting concept; industrial factory setting with shipping containers for each individual shop. Definitely a Denver/LA vibe that they're trying to strongly imitate. Decent coffee options at Segundo and we got the oat milk latte. Coffee is good but they're definitely going for more of the chill vibe. Interior seating is available. Seems like a cool spot to study and vibe! read more
Located on the east side of Houston in which you have a great view of Houston's Skyline, Segundo coffee lab is one of my go to spots for studying & to get some pretty to tea options! I also tried a brisket empanada which was okay, nothing to rave about. They have a variety of shopping stores inside as well. Plenty of seating & plenty of parking spots. read more

Dropped in to study and get a few work projects done. Great atmosphere for working, studying, and/or meeting up with friends. While there, I tried the hot chocolate and two tacos. One breakfast taco (egg, and potato), and one lunch taco(Carne Asada)--both pretty good. After completing work, I did a little shopping and have enjoyed my purchases already. Service was great as well, will definitely be returning! read more

While the huge iron door at the entry may seem intimidating, don't let that stop you from being lured by good music and the smell of coffee beans and breakfast tacos. Whether you're on the go and need a quick coffee with an "elevated pick me up" or want to set up your remote office for the day, Segundo Coffee Lab is a dope place to check out. Full Review Below Menu Segundo Coffee Lab's (SCL) Spanish-influenced menu sets the stage for a quality caffeinated morning. The lab offers a variety of signature beverages, such as the Tes Con Leches (Milk Teas) with bold flavors such as red velvet, honeydew, and Tumeric, in addition to the Spanish coffee classic, Cafe De Olla. SCL also leaves room for the classic espressos, house drips, and latte's with a variety of syrup flavors and milk options for a small upcharge. Sidenote: I recommend all coffee bars consider ditching the upcharge for alternative/plant-based options. For my fellow latte lovers, the Honey-Lavender latte sits on the taste buds well with its warming, mellow sweetness. As for grub, SCL offers breakfast tacos, pastries, and sweet treats to accompany your caffeinated cup. If you can pop in on the weekends, try the barbacoa tacos. If you really have an appetite, check out the tamales and empanadas. No worries for my vegetarian/vegan friends; there are options for you. Lastly, for my folks who like to have a little fun, are living their best holistic wellness life, or are simply open-minded to new things, I recommend adding some CBD or Delta 8 to your drink. It adds a fantastic elevating element fit for the perfect coffee experience. Besides, if you visit a coffee shop with an attached dispensary, you should enjoy all the offerings. Staff & Service While SCL doesn't have the bubbliest baristas, everyone seems to have a quiet, chill vibe. While other baristas may focus on casual convo with patrons, SCL taps into getting through the line quickly and efficiently. Sidenote: I applaud their commitment to latte art amid a busy morning rush. Aesthetic & Amenities Segundo Coffee Lab is nestled in the front corner of the Ironworks market/workspace building in Houston's Eastwood. The industrial warehouse-style building transforms containers into chic mixed-use structures for small businesses, art pieces, and work spaces for community members. Cool, natural lighting beams in from the huge loft windows, and sounds of Alternative/Indie/R&B fill the room, making for a chill, euphoric experience. The seating is pretty good. SCL offers high tables, standard rounds, and cozy sofas/love seats/accent chairs. An element I enjoyed was the dining-style coffee table. SCL is remote work friendly as high tables along the walls have nearby power outlets, and windows provide excellent lighting for virtual meetings. While the Ironworks building is quite large, the SCL space isn't overbearingly loud, so there's definitely space to focus when needed. Further, wifi is available (be sure to keep your receipt), bathrooms are clean, and there's plenty of free parking adjacent to the building. Final Thoughts Overall, Segundo Coffee Lab is a dope coffee spot in Houston with exciting offerings that make for a unique experience. With its adjoining dispensary with many offerings, such as Delta 8 products, CBD, and other holistic goodies, the lab curates a vibey, modern space for professionals, creatives, and local community members to thrive and enjoy a quality cup of coffee. Whether for a coffee date, work session, or Saturday self-care, Segundo Coffee Lab and the entire Ironworks Building are dope places to check out. read more

my go to place to go for coffee. they always consistent and never miss on the my drink. the breakfast burritos and salsa is bomb too! read more
I really enjoyed this shop. Big space, lots of natural light. Lots of space to study and hangout. Drink menu had some interesting choices. I want to try the Horchata Late. Food is also served here. Tacos, tamales, and meat filled empanadas. I give the four star rating because I waited 45 minutes for two empanadas to be heated up. They were not busy and the barista was apologetic. Someone dropped the ball. I will definitely be coming back to support a local brown business! read more
I had this place bookmarked, but it was after watching House of Ho 2 on HBO Max that made me come here as fast as I can! I was not disappointed! First of all, I liked my iced Pinguino, one of their signature coffee drinks. It's great that they use drinkware when dining in and not to-go cups! I loved how, upon knowing it was our first time coming here, the barista went over the menu with us. The breakfast tacos were very good as well as the almond and pistachio croissants: buttery and flaky (yum). This place has a chilled vibe that I totally dig. There are exposed brick walls, concrete floors, and high ceilings. There's also a clean patio outside as well as a huge and free parking lot. read more
My new favorite Café to chill and do work. The staff are all extremely friendly and they have a variety of delicious coffee drinks and food. I also like their CBD store. The lady in the shop is always very friendly and helps me decide what to try. It is not super loud so you are able to get work done. And they have ample amount of space. Their specialty coffee drinks are always on point. I also got the tofu torta the last time I was there and it exceeded my expectations. It was very tasty. read more
