There is plenty of seating indoor and outdoor, which is great because this spot is quite popular. They have two small lots but also plenty of street parking. There's WiFi and outlets throughout, however sometimes the WiFi gets too crowded so it takes a while to connect. Be mindful that you can work anywhere except for the bar. The service is great, they text you when your order is ready and they even say your name in a singsong way lol. I like that they have a new seasonal flavor to try each time I come. I usually get a chai or matcha with whatever the new flavor is. They have ice cold water as well. I typically make my own breakfast tacos when I come here and they're always pretty good. LOVE their fries! It's funny that some of the people that work there will remember you by your order. When I bring others, they enjoy the food. My friend had the patty melt which she said was great.

So after my meeting I asked if they worked they're which they responded yes and let them know that it was inappropriate how loud and close they were when I was there first and they could've atleast beeen courteous enough to say hey we're about to do a photo shoot and could get noisy etc Only 1 of the 3 apologized and the other 2 literally looked as if I were the issue so with that being said I'll never be back but they promote themselves as a workspace .. so try to considerate of your patrons that are working One lady offered a gift card but that a service industry cop out especially when the response is "I'm sorry you felt that way" lol it wasn't a feeling it was literally happening in real time .. I didn't feel you were talking through my whole meeting right next to me .. it was happening

The shot of espresso, I prefer more viscous and there was no spoon to break the crema but honestly wasn't much to need one. Still it was ok just a thin tasting shot with no flavor or life to it.

Boo Maybe their lattes are nice but if the espresso shot is what they use in lattes it wouldn't be enough to break the milk. Little pricey Cool logo and chill place.

Finally made it to Carino Cafe on Hogan St. and tried their coffee flight!…read more With the flights you get to choose four out of five coffee or matcha options there's just no mixing. For my flight I picked: The Horchata Latte which was my favorite of the flight! It has a great horchata flavor, light cinnamon, creamy and all without being overly sweet. The Banana Latte was my second favorite in terms of flavor. I wasn't a big fan of the chunky texture from the smashed banana (not something I enjoy in coffee in general), but the banana flavor itself wasn't overpowering, which I really liked. The Mazapan Cold Brew was my third favorite. It's a true cold brew topped with a delicious cold foam. Last but not least the Cafe de Olla Cold Brew was a solid and strong cold brew with a creamy finish. While there I ordered the Macadamia Nut Latte just to try which tasted exactly as expected smooth and nutty, but just ok. I also ordered my absolute favorite coffee at Carino Cafe which is the Cortadillo Latte. It was so good the last time that I had to get a large this time! This Carino Coffee Cafe location offers both indoor and outdoor seating, making it a great place to relax, study, and socialize. They serve coffee until 4pm then transition into Rabbit's Got the Gun a bar that's open until 2am, which is honestly like experiencing two spots in one. The service was excellent, the drinks were creative and well made (all iced with almond milk). I'd definitely recommend checking this coffee shop out if you're in the area!

Now, this is me just nitpicking but it's unfortunate that it's not in the prettiest part of Houston but it's great that they're bringing a pop of color, culture and life to this area! Overall, definitely worth a try and will definitely be back to try their coffee buckets!

Anyway, I finally got a chance to stop by on a Sunday late morning recently. Parking can be difficult, but there are dedicated Koffeteria spots in front of the business as well as surrounding paid curbside parking. I believe Instagram helped many others discover this business recently, as it was pretty packed and there was a line, but this gave us ample opportunity to peruse the menu and pastry display. Ultimately, we opted for the: Cambodian iced coffee (kayfe dahkoh) made with sweetened condensed milk and evaporated milk - tasted very similar but weaker than Vietnamese coffee. As I'm Viet and have never had Cambodian coffee, this was my only frame of reference, and I didn't love it. I'm excited to try more Cambodian coffees to get a better understanding of their unique flavor profile! Black sesame mochi - sweet and perfectly sesame flavored with salted yolk at the bottom, delicious, my partner's favorite pastry Beef pho kolache - the bun was so soft and complemented the soft but flavorful brisket meat. wow. truly a brisket pho in a kolache. We got extremely lucky and got a table almost immediately after ordering, as someone left just in time. The interior is full of vintage furniture, which added so much character. As a vintage lover, I felt so at home! I could see how others might prefer a more neat, chic interior, but to me this was absolutely perfect and added so much warmth, homeliness, and character to the shop. Absolutely love this coffee shop and will 100% be back to try more pastries and coffees. Immediately, this has become a new Houston favorite!

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!
