This is a perfect place for breakfast! The drink menu was extensive and the food options were great. We ordered the siphon coffee (duh) and the presentation was on point, the coffee was smooth and flavorful. The chilaquiles was amazing, especially that sauce. The empanada was delicious but kinda pricey for its size. Overall would definitely recommend! read more

The vibes in this place are super chill. It was pretty packed but it's understandable. I didn't get the chance to go outside but from what I could see through the window it was pretty nice out there just wouldn't go out there when it's super hot outside. Honestly the temperature inside was pretty warm as well so would've liked some AC action but it wasn't unbearable. The blueberry muffin was sooo good, especially would recommend trying it warm. Wine was good too just would like for them to offer the option of taking the wine bottle home if you don't finish by incorporating a wine bottle sealer, or selling wine by the glass which I didn't see/or get offered the option to do. read more

Busy coffee spot near St. Thomas. Packed during lunchtime on Friday, cozy vibe inside with some exterior seating. Pretty strong cold brew; only complaint is that their prices are higher than most of the other coffee spots inside the loop. Barista also spilled my coworker's drink, then put a lid on it and served it like nothing happened, which is a bit disappointing. read more

Vibe- Cozy coffee shop in Montrose with plenty of inside and outside seating. This would be a good spot to study, work, and/or hangout. Customer service- Great! The barista was very patient with me and my order. Food/drinks- I went with a hot matcha latte with oat milk and I also ordered the vegan taco trio that came with 3 tacos. I got 2 with black beans and potatoes and one with vegan chorizo. Everything I ordered was delish! *chef's kiss* Parking- It's in a shopping strip so there's about 30 parking spots and some street parking available too. read more

Love the atmosphere of this place, crowded but not so loud your can't concentrate if you have work to do. Great selection of food, good quality food.

Overall meh. Great atmosphere inside. The two times I have been (weekend days) it has been packed. Line can be very long to order and very very slow moving. Overall nothing that I have tried (both food and coffee) is good enough to warrant the long wait, but not terrible either. Staff are all very friendly. Outdoor seating available. read more

Come here if you want to start your morning with coffee with a splash of bitchy. Bad morning vibes. I actually love their coffee, especially study vibes in the afternoon. Their service was abysmal on Tuesday morning and I literally had my blood boiling (I work in healthcare and it is usually hard for me to reach this point). Blackhole is down the street if you want to start your morning with a more positive foot. There's just so much competition now in Houston coffee scene, no room for rude service. EDIT: I STOOD outside and they did not open until I knocked at 7:02, check your cameras. lol "storming" off, yes I left saying "thanks for watching it" in a bad mood due to your staff! Thanks for "trying to improve" though. I love how you went to every bad review and blamed the customer. And yes I can go online and warn others of your place, that's the whole point read more

I have been to siphon several times. The coffee and food are always top tier for a coffee shop. They have several options for non-dairy milks and interesting flavors for espresso drinks like rose water and lavender. The music is soft pop which I love. I know the songs but they aren't too distracting. The atmosphere can get quite loud because some people do working meetings here, but it's understandable. The dining area is always clean and comfortable if you're looking for a space to work. The service is variable. I have found myself waiting unnecessarily long in line because the barista taking orders has gotten distracted. read more

Super good menu and not too crowded, so this is a great place to do work! The coffee is tasty plus the banana bread with the orange cream cheese was incredible! The only thing is that there aren't many outlets to charge your laptop unless you sit at a high top which isn't as comfortable... I still love this place as a study spot or to grab a quick bite! read more

low-key space for relaxing, work or study with a tempting variety of beverages and baked goods

Pretty inconvenient seating, since there's no consideration about placing outlets in the coffee shop unless you're sitting against the window walls which only seat 9 people. So you have the majority of the store unable to plug in their electronics. Also I was told that "we don't have the ability to warm up drinks" after I came to the counter since my drink had gotten cold. You guys don't have a microwave or what? Chairs are comfortable, parking is accessible. But wouldn't come here for extended stays or to rely on having a warm drink. Also, it's pretty cold. EDIT 8/12: Looking at the response by Lawrence (business manager of Siphon) below just shows how little they care for your feedback and confirms my thoughts from the beginning, which is why I'll never be coming back again. Dropped to 1 star purely for this. read more

Loooove this place! The honeybee latte is the best latte i've ever had. You can taste the honey and there's a good amount of cinnamon. They have food here and room to do work/ study. It's a very chill and cool environment with baristas that will serve you with a smile but luckily won't talk your ear off. Favorite coffee shop in houston for sure! read more

First time coming here and i won't be returning. The cashier was kind of rude (made me a little nervous for the rest of the interaction) , i understand sometimes the place is busy but it was me and someone else behind me. They cut me off and just rushed everything. Again i understand wanting to get through people and i do apologize if i misinterpreted the interaction. The snickerdoodle latte was good but the cold brew was terrible, but then again that might be my fault as it may not be what they are known for. I like the pastries !! muffins are definitely boxed cake but that's alright they were still yummy and croissant was great !!! read more

I love the atmosphere of the place! It's a very good coffee shop to study at or hang out with friends. The coffee never disappoints. I always get the honey bee latte because I love anything with cinnamon and it's delicious. The service is normal nothing too special about it. Drinks can sometimes take awhile to come out! read more

Pros: Friendly staff, plenty of comfy seating (inside and outside), pet-friendly, good lighting, clean bathrooms, complimentary water. Cons: Limited charging ports near couch and middle of the room. I ordered the Spicy Maple Latte, which was good but a tad too spicy, and the RIP Rose which was smooth and better in-my-opinion. The mushroom + spinach quiche is pretty yummy too! Will come back and try some other things! read more

This coffee shop was okay. I enjoyed my coffee but found everything to be expensive. I got an iced white mocha and 2 beef empanadas. Again, both tasted good but overly priced. The guy working the cashier wasn't friendly and couldn't ever seem to hear me so I had to repeat myself a lot. I stayed for about 5 hours sitting at the high stools because that's where the outlets were and the couches were taken. I wasn't comfortable and did my work standing a lot of the times.They had an outdoor area that was nice but I don't like staying in the heat. Bathrooms were clean and COVID friendly with sensor flushing, soap, and sink. It's okay but not sure I found the drive worth visiting this place again. read more

Awesome place. Cozy interior. Went on a Saturday morning to read and honestly it was a nice vibe for it!! It was pretty busy - people shuffling in and out to grab their morning coffee drinks. Relatively ample seating - it's a little packed in so don't go here if you need ample table space for working. On the note of working - there are not many outlets here so I think choosing Siphon to read or chat with friends is more ideal. Coffee quality is solid! A bit pricey but my latté tasted smooth and delicious. Highly recommend for a visit. Great signature coffee drinks and they also have open mic/comedy events ! read more

Give this coffee shop a second chance and I'm disappointed again. Before I ordered, I asked the cashier if the wifi is working properly. She said yes and we don't need a password to connect to the wifi. Guess what ? I bought a drink and I cannot connect to the wifi! What's else ? I ordered Iced Caramel Latte and all I saw was milk. I can barely taste coffee in my drink. So it's a o for me. read more

Personally, I was not a fan of this place. While it seemed like it would be a good place to do my studying from the reviews, I disagree. It was super packed mid-afternoon on a random Thursday, which meant all of the tables were occupied. Thankfully, I found a sofa that I was able to snag but I found it very uncomfortable to work on my laptop while it was wobbling on my lap. I ordered an iced chai latte (my usual late-afternoon-drink) and I was disheartened by its taste. Even though the ice had not yet melted, it was very watery and bland. Maybe I just went on a bad day....but, since the parking was also very scarce, I honestly don't think I'll give it a try again. Too many cons in my book. read more

I came here today and the sign said there was No Espresso and No Steamed Drinks, but the staff still had a whole lot of energy and charisma. I told Dante and Taye that I just needed some caffeine and they made wonderful suggestions. I got an iced coffee with coconut milk. There was only 45 more minutes until close and they were generous the whole time. I will be back. read more

We loved this place and went there so often as one of our favorites I received a $5 reward. But when I showed it to the cashier he said it was already used. It was embarrassing in front of my friend and I told him I just received it that day on my phone so I couldn't of used it. We waited patiently as he tried to figure out how to apply the credit. After all that time he still didn't apply it to our order and rang it through. I then had to wait for a manager to fix it. They said they couldn't fix it because he rang it already and it would be in our credit card statement in a few days. No apology and thanks for embarrassing me by saying I was part of some great five dollar coffee scam and already used it. The "Avocado Toast" was a sad compilation of two pastry puff halves with some wet avocado chunks and a couple cherry tomato halves. It looked pathetic and unappealing. No reason to ever return to this place again based on the food and service. read more

Siphon is a solid coffee shop worth a visit if you're in the area. It has been a while since I've been there last and was glad to know during my recent visit that they're still doing a good job. I've pretty much have only tried their chai tea latte which is good! They have plenty of seating (and a good amount of outlets inside) including outdoor seating. Luckily, my friend and I happened to be there while they were doing a steak night special (so cool) for such a good deal. It was $25 for steak, mash potatoes, and brussels mixed with a potatoe hash AND a glass of wine! For what we paid it was great! The sides were yummy and the steak was good (more of a family/friend grill at a bbq in park quailty if that makes any sense). The steak dinner was a delicious pleasant surprise. We enjoyed it and ended up take leftovers home. The atmosphere is great as well as the customer service. The staff and patrons are friendly! Keep up the great work Siphon Coffee.

Mid just like the town. I wouldn't come back here. Coffee was a miss and hangover fries were greasy.

Been to a fair share of coffee shops, and I have to say this is not high up on my list :( I really wanted to like this because it's one of the few coffee shops in Houston that have reliable wifi. I've been here on several occasions but haven't written a review. I got the honey latte with oat milk. It cost a little over $7, and it was nothing spectacular. Yes, it was decent cup of coffee, but not worth the price, quantity, or quality. I usually don't care for latte art, but I was hoping to see something if the cup was $7. Beans are also too acidic for my taste. The coffee shop is quite small, so I wouldn't recommend coming here with more than 2-3 people, including yourself if you're planning on getting work done here. Three people is pushing it. They have a small parking lot that they share with other small businesses, and there is also street parking. Even with the additional street parking, siphon is a place that I only go to on weekdays bc the parking is way too difficult on the weekends. There have been a few occasions where I just ended up leaving for a different place because I was circling around for parking for way too long. I also had difficulty finding an outlet. I will say that I do like how much natural lighting there is here. Overall, due to the price of coffee, limited space, and limited parking, siphon isn't my go-to coffee shop. I mainly come here to work if I have to, but it's not preferable. Honestly, the only reason why I didn't give it 2 stars was because I didn't have a bad experience with staff. Service was not terrible but wasn't spectacular either. read more

I wanted to like this place, and honestly I'm sure I'll come back, but my god the salted caramel latte they made me was so astronomically salty I could not finish it, and I am the kind of person that finishes their drinks in a few minutes The atmosphere and seating was very nice though. Despite the quality of my drink, I might try them again if in the area read more

I like siphon- they pull good espresso and their tacos are solid. Get all three salsas; the thicker green one is spicy in the best way. Sometimes the wait is a bit much but I guess that speaks to popularity. It's always packed here, so prepare yourself. I sat on the side patio for the first time this visit and it's cute, quiet and breezy. read more

The music is slightly loud but most people there were working with headphones on so it's a great study spot. read more

Coffee is pretty good and comparable cost for the space and area. Pastries are fresh. The manager's YouTube videos about his shoe collection are always playing on loop, it's a vibe and I guess good for him for using his place of business to promote his personal brand and get those views up. However, there are two signs at the register that kind of suck. One says, "WE IMPOSE A SURCHARGE ON CREDIT CARDS THAT IS NOT GREATER THAN OUR COST OF ACCEPTANCE" and the other says, "Sorry for the Inconvenience, we don't accept Cash -Siphon Crew." I understand that we are moving away from a cash society and that there are significant costs in both money and time for a business to deal in cash, but if a business is not going to accept cash as an option then they also shouldn't have a big old sign out saying that they charge extra for the credit card that you are now required to use. Simply have it baked into the cost, no sign necessary. read more

Tried many coffee places during our stay in Midtown and this was by far our favorite in terms of coffee quality and ambiance. Went back 3 times and bought some beans to take back. The inner loop is what they use for their espressos (in case you're wondering). Great, comfortable seating that fits all types of parties (by yourself), meeting a friend, wanting to look out the window, large table, and outdoor seating available. Really good pastries. The banana bread comes with orange cream cheese (yummy! Almost a clotted cream texture). Parking is a bit of a issue throughout the day, but you can park on the streets. Service is decent. Fast, efficient, not chatty, but friendly if you have questions. Self bussing style, but seems like they must clean the table well since I never encountered a dirty table. read more

I visited this place last year but it was so packed I couldn't even get in to get a cup of coffee and try the siphon brew! I took my mom here on Mother's Day because she also shares a love for coffee and wanted her to experience something a little different. We, of course, had to try the siphoned brewed coffee! We came right on time with no line at the front. We also tried one of their hand made banana bread mini loafs. The siphon coffee wasn't the greatest but it was definitely a cool experience. You guys got me on the banana bread! To die for!! I would definitely come back to order some brekfast.. I'm sure this place has more incredible food! read more
