Slowpokes has been a wonderful addition to this little shopping center. Their coffee is always so good, their sandwiches are peak- I loved the Brie/fig/ and arugula pretzel sandwich. The churro donuts are so yummy. Don't sleep on slowpokes! read more

There's something special about having a place like this just a short walk from home. No matter the time--morning sunrises, afternoon resets, or quiet evenings before bed--it's my go-to spot to slow down and enjoy a perfect cup of coffee. The atmosphere is always on point: chill music, a welcoming vibe, and genuinely cool baristas who make every visit better. Easily one of my favorite places--beautiful energy, beautiful location. Es un lugar especial a solo unos pasos de mi casa. Ya sea en la mañana, tarde o noche, siempre es perfecto para tomar un café, disfrutar el ambiente tranquilo y la buena música. Sin duda, uno de mis lugares favoritos. read more

Love when a place has lavender as an option for my coffee, so good!!! The food we tried was average, nothing too special. The spicy jam was pretty good though. They give you a thick piece of egg on the bagel it was like sliding off and got messy, couldn't really taste the cream cheese but the bagel was tasty. They had seating throughout- at the bar, tables and outside front and sides of the restaurant with covers. It was pretty dim inside. Parking in the back and front, since it's a shopping strip there's a lot of parking you just have to walk in between the restaurants to get to it. Service was good. read more

Staff is always nice and my favorite location in the garden oak location. I have a usual order which is purple rain extra shot iced. Not sure if the syrup was a little off today ( they make it in house) but shots were watered down and there was too much milk not sweet at all it was a pretty drink that was not good and that never happens Grabbed 2 cookies and one alfajores - they get it from Michael's cookie jar- snickerdoodle and sprinkle cookies great and usual but the alfajores was probably the worst alfajores I have ever had unfortunately. If it wasn't labeled as alfajores I might have liked it read more

Like most, I had no idea that this location of Slowpokes existed. Tucked in the back of the shopping strip, on the far side, I felt like I'd discovered a secret spot when I arrived... if you walk from The Blond Goat, you're in for a treat. IYKYK. Similar to the other locations you'll find a menu full of coffee, snacks, sandwiches, salads, wine, beer on tap and (the new kid on the block Italian Sodas). This trip, I chose two new to me items. One Monster Mash Italian soda and a Cali sandwich. While I usually go for the pesto chicken panini, this sandwich is a new favorite. Is it something could make at home- yes, probably. Is it also something I'd rather buy from a spot that makes it right, yep! The sandwich itself feels homemade, and I personally wish more cafes prepared their food in that way. The customer service this trip had both hits and misses, but the most notable part of this location is all of the students! It seemed like middle and high school students filled 50% of the tables. While it's personally not my vibe, it does bring a youthful energy to the place. Since I'm in this area semi frequently, I'll def have to keep this location in mind if I need some caffeine! read more

Cute little coffee shop in the long point area. I loved the interior decor and the outside seating. Keep in mind it can get packed and there's not a lot of space. Parking is limited and we had to street park. There is a two hour wifi limit and you have to pay for it afterwards. The drinks were delicious and the service was good. We sat at the big long tables but it was quite messy and we had to clean the food residue off before we got our work laptops out. The big tables have stool like chairs which don't have a back, making it hard to sit for too long. read more

Slowpokes - Purple rain & slowpoke specialty latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Houston, Texas

I REALLY ENJOYED THIS PLACE!!! I ordered The Slowpoke latte and it was amazing! I never know what to get when I try a new place out, but one of the employees recommended it and it turned out to be a great choice. My friend ordered a drink that she thought wasn't sweet enough for her taste. They had no issue providing her with some extra honey to sweeten it up. Amazing customer service! The atmosphere was nice and relaxing. The weather worked out so we sat outside on the patio and soaked in some sun. They have plenty of locations to choose from, so if I you can't get to this particular one, I still highly recommend you finding one close and checking them out. read more

Great place to catch up with friends, study, or work. read more

I've been here a couple of times, just to stop and get coffee because my go-to spot closes early. It was pretty packed both times, with not much seating left in the afternoon and evening on a Saturday. I love the decor and ambiance. It feels very modern and clean, with plenty of seating and space for work, studying, or just hanging out with friends. My bf even remarked how nice the unisex restrooms are lol We got the same two drinks both times, the PURPLE RAIN and WHITE MOCHA LATTE. They required a bit of a learning curve because we like sweet coffee drinks, and we had to have them add vanilla both times. That's even after we requested them "extra sweet" (for an extra $0.25) the second time. They were shockingly not sweet at all, despite us requesting them to be. Thankfully, the baristas have been very friendly and helpful both times, checking with us after making the adjustments, if we'd like them even sweeter. Just great attitudes all around! One barista even commented that their drinks aren't very sweet, so I'm assuming this is a common issue with customers. Both times, after the sweetness level was adjusted, the drinks were great! I think we'll just have to request an extra 3-4 pumps of vanilla when ordering, and hopefully that'll do the trick! read more

Had a chance to stop by randomly driving the other day, was craving coffee and noticed Slowpokes. Heard great things about them but never tried it. I went with the pumpkin spice latte, liked that it wasn't overly sweet and they aren't heavy on the cream. Liked the vibes of this location - good music and a great place to work or study. read more

I never knew about this location. it's definitely ducked off. It is very nice on the inside. A good study place if you need it. Menu is full of all sorts of things to try and you know I did! I tried the beef dog, the chicken empanada, and the egg potato and cheese kolache. Let me tell you about this beef dog! My goodness! The sausage is great but what's really important is the croissant wrap around it. It's flaky. It's like and everything bagel. It really is perfection. It was a hit I needed to savor. The hibiscus lemonade is also good too! Part tea and part lemonade. The chicken empanada and kolache weren't my favorites but they are a decent breakfast item. The menu is expensive and the service was stellar! I'll definitely be back so don't hog the table! read more

LOVE LOVE LOVE! Finally tried Slowpokes and it completely lived up to the hype. I ordered the Cookie Crumble Coffee (their February seasonal drink, I believe), and it was so good and not overly sweet at all. The service was great too, our coffee took a little while to come out, but it was raining and we weren't in a rush, so it didn't bother us. I've been wanting to check this place out for a while, and I'm so glad I finally did. The inside is adorable, such a cute, cozy coffee shop atmosphere that makes you want to stay awhile. read more

Great ambience for studying, had coffee and beer. Lots of students and Real estate agents getting work done. I would come again.

My husband and I needed a pick me up in the area so we found Slowpokes on Yelp. We had our fur baby, Jade so we needed a dog friendly spot. We got the honey cinnamon latte, cold brew and salmon bagels, which were pretty good. We'll be back when we're in the area again. read more

This coffee shop that has multiple locations throughout Houston. This place has an extensive menu and is a great spot for coffee, beer, wine, and food. I came here to work and enjoyed the Purple Rain Latte, a delightful blend of ube and vanilla. If you plan to stay for a while, bring a jacket or sweater as it can get quite cold inside. Be aware that there is a 2-hour limit on WiFi, starting from the time you get your receipt. After the 2 hours, you'll need to make another purchase to continue using the WiFi. A delightful plus was the bathroom wall filled with pictures of sloths and turtles, which I thought was very adorable. read more

Great latte! Cozy little coffee shop nestled in the heart of Spring branch. The server was very informative and recommended that Ube and vanilla latte. Only four stars because almond milk cost an additional dollar which is above the norm considering most other coffee shops. There seemed to be quite a few highschoolers there doing homework, but they were quiet and not a distraction to other guests, which I appreciated. I'll be back to try other lattes and enjoy the cozy ambience. read more

Super cute hidden gem ! Parking: It is part of a shopping center so there is plenty of parking ! It may be good to note that it's sort of behind the shopping center though (there is a walkthrough back to it.) It does have a few parking spots in front as well as plenty of stree parking Seating: There's indoor and outdoor seating. They have several long shared tables. Outdoors there are patio chairs as well Order: We ordered a kolache and 2 coffees. Everything was very fresh. My hazelnut latte was extremely sweet ! I'll definitely not be adding any flavor next time Overall a cute place and I could see coming here regularly if I lived nearby. They are pet friendly too ! read more

So came to this location for the first time. I made it clear that this was my first time here. The issue I had was not with the food, (which was good) but the fact that there's only a two hour limit on the Wi-Fi and I didn't know. Had I known that I definitely would've just stayed or a short period of time with no real intention of working, but the Wi-Fi stopped right in the middle of me working I thought something was wrong with it. Went to the cashier asked her about it and she said it should say on your receipt that it's only a two hour limit. Regardless, that needs to be stated upfront somewhere in the restaurant. It's not a big deal that it's a two hour limit. I get it you want to have other patrons be able to come in buy food and also and not have others take up table space with ppl not making purchases but I was literally working on something important. Also the attitude of the cashier wasn't good when I asked her about it. Normally, I would express my opinion, but I just decided to walk away and she says as I'm walking away "oh, it's like that" fine ok". She's lucky I didn't turn around and say something, but I'm working on myself personally and I don't have time for things that don't serve a purpose in my life.. My advice to you would be to put small signs on all of the tables that indicates that there is a two hour limit on WiFi to make that clear , especially to people who are new to your establishment so that it is clear. Regardless of whether or not, I had a receipt. I did not see that part. read more

While I love the concept of the cafe, being slow and lingering, the cafe itself could use some work. The chairs are not very comfortable, nor good if you want to stay and study. However, you can't stay too long because the wifi times out after 2 hours. I got the purple rain to drink. It was really pretty in color, but it did not taste like ube at all's I also got the brie and pear flatbread, this was good but too heavy on the brie chunks and very oily. read more

It's fine. I got the slowpoke latte which was $7 even without alternative milk. You'll need to ask for a printed receipt to get WiFi, which lasts for 2 hours (and will only work 45 minutes after you order). The place is cute, and it has a ton of wine/beer/food options for during the day. read more

I'm all aboard the Spring Branch gentrification train. Slowpoke's is another welcome stop towards progress. Parking by the front door which is in the back is a little sparse, but in the main lot on long point there is plenty. Walk up order style, they give you a number and you find a seat. There's a coffee shop feel interior and a backyard type atmosphere with seating outside. The coffee here was surprisingly good. They have beers on tap and a bar, not quite sure which meal the target more between the breakfast or dinner crowd. Salmon Bagel was tasty, but not mind blowing. Bagel was a little over toasted. Additions of dill and cucumber worked for me though. Chicken empanadas were a dud. Not really worth ordering, not sure why my wife got these. Dough wasn't right and the filling wasn't either. Nutella croissant was and absolute banger. Normally these types of pastries end up having terrible croissant and lack filling, worst of both worlds. Totally opposite here, overflowing with Nutella and super flaky and fluffy croissants dough. read more

My friend and I came to Slowpokes on a Sunday morning - even with plenty of seating inside and outside, it gets pretty busy during this time so just a heads up! We ordered the Purple Rain (ube and vanilla), lazy latte (lavendar and honey), and the Salmon Bagel. The drinks were both wonderful but the purple rain took it away. I've always enjoyed ube and ube- flavored treats but I never had it with coffee so this was a pleasant surprise. As for the salmon bagel, the presentation was done very nicely and each bite was delicious! The service was okay, we did have to wait around 30 minutes to get our drinks and food but my friend and I were not in a hurry and granted, it was during one of the busiest times. Overall, the quality of the drinks/food is great and the setup/ambiance of the store is beautiful. Hope to come back another time read more

So happy to have Slowpokes in Spring Branch. It's located behind a local plaza. Parking lot only has a few spaces but you can do street parking in the neighborhood or park at the plaza and there's a pathway to get to Slowpokes with a short walk. Service is always friendly and they do have a good menu. I love the bagel sandwich and their churros donut. An iced chai latte is my go-to. The interior is pretty spacious with plenty of tables. They also have a front patio with a few tables and another patio area through the side doors. Very chill vibes. Great for studying/work or catching up with friends. read more

A hidden gem...it's in the back of a strip mall with not obvious signage pointing to it. They call themselves a coffee bar with beer and food. It is a nice little coffee shop with a pretty detailed menu, making them more of a cafe in my book. It's also got a 1970 fern bar vibe. The girl at the counter did a nice job of upselling our group. I was very happy with my Brie, Proscuitto & fig on pretzel sandwich & side salad. The side salad is not on the menu, or I didn't see it. We got empanadas to share as a group. The beef was solid. I'd pass on the chicken though. Not much flavor. The empanadas were baked, so healthier. read more

I've been a longtime fan of Slowpokes and I'm happy to see them grow. This was my first time at the Spring Branch location and I loved it way more than the one in Kirby. It's far more spacious and has ample seating and outlets. Parking is also very convenient. I came to finish up some work and the noise level was low enough for me to stay focused. I ordered the churro donuts which are my favorite snack to order here. The dough of the donut is super light and fluffy. The cinnamon sugar on top pairs really well with the apple butter. I also ordered the purple rain latte, which has ube and vanilla. The espresso was delicious and the ube and vanilla didn't make it too sweet. Overall, it satisfied my craving for an afternoon snack. Will be coming back for sure! read more

What a neat and aesthetically pleasing little coffee shop! The vibes in there were perfect for studying or getting work done. I wish Slowpokes was around back when I was in college and needed a place to study. We got the honey pea latte (honey + peanut butter + cinnamon) and purple rain latte (ube + vanilla). The honey pea was delicious! I love all the components so it was a no brainer that I would love this drink. You taste the cinnamon, slight sweetness from the honey, and a light nutty undertone from the peanut butter. I know this will be my go-to drink. The purple rain latte was underwhelming to say the least. Once I read "vanilla" on the menu I knew it wouldn't have much ube flavor and I was right unfortunately. All you can taste is milk and espresso. If you really really try then you might be able to convince yourself that there is ube in there. If you like ube then I would advise to skip this drink. read more

I ordered breakfast delivery from here and everything was not good. I had bagel dog, ham & cheese kolache and a beef empanada. The only thing I enjoyed was the spicy fruit dip and the cilantro dip.

Very interesting experience I had a few months back. Ordered a few things off the menu, and when I looked at the screen to pay, I see an item I did not order. I was confused so I asked the woman at the register why she had put an item in my order I didn't ask for. She responds "Well we were out of what you wanted." Since when don't employees relay simple information regarding your order? It's disrespectful and inconsiderate, and I count that as a racist experience. I haven't returned and never will again. read more

A hidden gem, literally, it is tucked away in the back of a strip mall. The chicken pesto panini and churro donuts did not disappoint.

Great coffee and great place to study and work buuut the food needs a major overhaul! I went last weekend to have a coffee and breakfast. Since I don't eat eggs and am vegetarian, the only savory breakfast item I can eat is the spinach and cheese kolache. We arrived at 9 and were told that the kolache vendor hadn't arrived with no estimation of when he would. Apparently, "he arrives when arrives." We waited 2 hours and the vendor never showed. I specifically chose to patron Slowpokes this day specifically for the Kolache. Horrible to not have expectations and requirements for your vendors. This was a major let down. I left disappointed and hungry. P.S. the quality of the new kolache vendor is also subpar to the previous kolache you had available. read more
