Serene Beans - Serene Beans next to the Katy water tower. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Katy, Texas

Poured my coffee down the drain if that tells you anything. Asked for a cappuccino but it was just a mini latte. Tasted like milk mostly. The coffee flavor was poor and no house made syrups. Just a nice place to chill and have maybe drip coffee. They don't have space for much in there for making anything but plenty for sitting around. There were no baked items but those are also brought from somewhere else. read more

My wife and I enjoyed our visit to this retro hippie vibe 60's coffee house. My wife shared her mocha, coconut milk frappe with me, it was perfect. I enjoyed a large hot cappucino wit' 2 splendas. They have a lot of disco balls and lots of psychedelic artwork on table tops and elsewhere, VW buses are a reoccurring theme, a few scooby doo references reminded me of a replica of the Mystery Machine we ran into in Rockport. They roast coffee beans so i bought a bag from Mexico's Chiapas region. read more

Much needed caffeine on a cold and rainy day brought me to Serene Beans. Located in Downtown Katy, the store is located in a small quaint building. The service were fast and them was very friendly. The offer a wide variety of coffees, lattes and smoothies alongside some baked treats. They also have couches and tables for those that might want to pass the time at their store. Would definitely recommend. read more

Great local place for a great cup of coffee. The staff is always friendly. Also a great place to meet friends for conversations.

Serene Beans is tucked away in a cute corner of historic Katy. It's a cute, welcoming little place with a great atmosphere. I had high hopes for this place and they were met! The coffee here is nice, I got my favorite coffee--a rose latte. They're not super common, so I was very excited. The coffee is earthy and nutty with wonderful aftertaste, and the rose syrup is delicious. The barista even put extra rose syrup in it because I was so excited to order. She was so nice! It's a nice place for conversation and coffee. read more

This place is a nice mom and pop coffee shop. Nothing fancy - definitely not your trendy third wave shop - but they have coffee and espresso so I'm all for it. They've got a decent selection of espresso drinks on the menu. Young man that worked there was super nice - definitely have us the "hometown coffee shop" service. I got a latte and my wife got a cappuccino - both were good. They also sell coffee beans and other items. They also have plenty of space to work inside, and an uncovered side patio where you can chill with your pups. Overall I recommend checking this place out for your caffeine needs. I personally wouldn't drive out of my way to come here, but if you're in the area this is a nice local shop to give your business to! read more

From the sunshine service to the fun atmosphere, Serene Beans is a delightful coffee shop. They listened to what I wanted as I ordered, giving me suggestions based on my needs. I walked away with my decaf americano with a smile of gratitude and sat down in a peaceful corner to sip my hot drink and listen to the fountain. Taking a pause before I start my day. read more

Serene Beans - A serene place to sit and enjoy a coffee. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Katy, Texas

Now that I don't drink liquor like it's water anymore, I love finding yummy drinks that don't make my liver want to call a time out. Coffee is something I drink only ever so often because I'm already a hyper person and don't really need it, but I do have insomnia and can use it those days I've only had 3/4 hours of sleep. The staff is always warm and friendly and the drinks are way better than Starbucks imho. I get the vanilla latte with oat milk most of the time and it's fire. My kids hate when I use that word, but it's the only one I can think of to describe their drinks. Their list of drink names is so cute. I plan on trying the Karen soon. It's not very big inside, but it works because it feels all warm and cozy when you walk in. I normally see a few people studying when I go. They host AA meetings here, so I love it even more. What recovering alcoholic wouldn't enjoy an amazing coffee shop and some good convo about the steps? It's in the heart of old Katy and across from Wells Fargo. When you need a delicious pick me up, stop by and grab a drink. Edit- Sooo I had no clue that this place was a recovery based coffee shop. How did I miss that with the name Serene Beans??? I love it! read more

I was in the area while my friend antiqued. I punch coffee near me. A modest cottage comfortably furnished and eclectic ally decorated with good coffee. I was surprised it was a pleasant place to enjoy a cup of coffee, well brewed, and well priced. The clientele seems to be a cross section of people in the area. Service is prompt and friendly ample parking. A great choice in the area . Much better than corporate coffee read more

Cute coffee shop across from my job. Cozy vibes and quiet atmosphere. Coffee is really good and would recommend to anyone.

I spent a Friday afternoon in Katy and I was looking for a local coffee shop to do some work. I found Serene Beans on Yelp and I'm happy I did. Located in Old Katy, this coffee shop has a lot of character. I parked right outside of the shop on the street and made my way inside. There's a large room with plenty of comfortable seating. They also have a more secluded back room as well as a patio. It was too cold to sit out on the patio while I was there so I sat on a sofa with a foot rest in the main room. They had a little waterfall which added to a serene experience, given their name. I went with the wild berry smoothie. Cool place and I would definitely return next time I'm in the area! read more

I absolutely love local bean shops aka coffee spots. This place has a very welcoming vibe and delicious fresh coffee too.

The owner is very down to earth and friendly. The ambiance is nice and welcoming. It was our first time visiting, and the saff took time to give us a mini tour and talk about their live music, massage services, essential oils and overall wellness. Serene Bean is for true coffee lovers. This is a great way to support local business. We will be back. The prices are half that of big coffee chains. This is a great spot to have a good conversation, read a book or just meditate. read more

I normally don't write reviews but felt compelled to write one for this establishment. Serene Beans is a local coffee bar with good vibes and GREAT COFFEE. They also distribute freshly roasted coffee beans., which Is how I stumbled onto this jewel! The owner took the time to explain to me the proper methods in pulling an espresso shot., and using the right coffee beans. Purchased their Italian espresso beans. Amazingly good and fresh! Will highly recommend! read more

The coffee is excellent. The food choices were limited to some weird looking croissants, donuts and cinnamon rolls. I tried the donut. It was good. Not great. They're the type of donuts that basically taste like a King's Hawaiian roll. That's not my favorite type of donut but it was good nevertheless. Staff is awesome. read more

It's crazy to think this is the place I used to come in high school for my corsages for prom now it is a killer coffee shop, y'all! The two guys that work here have amazing customer service! They always have a big smile on their faces and are happy to help with any questions you may have on the menu. I didn't catch his name but the store manager is amazing! I LOVED the twisted pecan. It's an iced coffee that will get you going! #speeding I have been here numerous times and every experience has been stellar. The owner was in once and she was a bit snippy and rude to one of her employees that did strike me as unprofessional but who knows the situation. They have plenty of parking for being in downtown Katy. It is dog friendly with bowls on the patio area. I highly suggest checking it out! read more

Awesome coffee and hangout spot in old Katy... Karen (the owner) is super friendly and sweet and she always remembers returning customers. Their twisted pecan iced coffee is my favorite drink but unfortunately it's only available for the summer months... quality product and relatively priced for the area. Located on a one way street but, big plus is that there's a nice parking area right next door. read more
