During some downtime on a work trip to Houston I was resolved to hit up a craft brewing for some local beer. True Anomaly was just around the corner from my hotel so I made the short trek. I won't lie, this neighborhood of Houston is funky. It's very underdeveloped, lots filled with piles of rubble, and closed down/boarded up businesses. And yet, there's some fantastic food and drink spots amidst it all, True Anomaly being one of them. The taproom is large and inviting, and the beer menu expansive. Got a flight of 3 and my favorite was definitely their saison. This is the kind of place I'd probably be a regular at if I lived in town. In fact, one of the regulars was kind enough to list out some other local beers I should try, and even some restaurants/bars to check out. Great overall experience, would be excited to return.

Facility is clean and staff is friendly. They have a good selection on tap beer as well as canned beer. I tried several options and landed in the Light the lamp Canadian Red Ale after a strong staff suggestion. It did not disappoint. Atmosphere is very calm. They have some table games available for some added fun. Will definitely visit again.

More bar than brewery. It's seemed like most of their beers if not all were brewed by other companies. It was crowded and loud. The beer was just ok. We tried a flight and did not drink it all as it was really not that great.

If you like IPAs, sours, lagers this is the place for you! If you like light beers only, the menu is pretty small. The Spanish lager was my fav. I'd say it's not light but also not heavy. Definitely refreshing! Be sure to check the hours they're open. Google said they were open later than I thought. After ordering a flight around 8pm on a Sunday, the staff member told me they were closing soon.

Ambiance: Super fun space themed brewery with really cool lights, decor, and art scattered around inside. They have merch available & ample seating, including a bar area and couches/tables. Games available to play near the couches. There is also an outdoor patio space and bar is very dog friendly! All of the beers we tried were amazing! I personally loved Jupiter Drops - an IPA with lactose (so unique!) and the other IPA we tried was also very good. You do have to pay for taste samples, which seemed a bit eh if you're visiting for the first time and just trying 1 or two beers before committing... Great smaller brewery spot in the EADO area. I would go back for sure and bring one of my dogs!

All the beers are great. Plus there is wine, champagne and specialty coffee too. Literally all of them are amazing. They have couches and TVs if you want to hang out or watch a game. Staff is super chill but also attentive. Great vibe for sure.

True Anomaly is easily one of my favorite breweries in Houston. If you love IPA's like I do, you will be in heaven because they have a lot to choose from!

Some of the NASA related art in the brewery.

If there is one negative thing here, it is the lack of parking. I was here at a non-popular time, so found a space in their dinky parking area. There are lots next to the brewery and across the street, so you can find paid parking nearby. Yeah, weird way to start a review, but I felt I would get the bad out of the way quickly, even if the bad is not their fault. True Anomaly was started by a couple of NASA engineers, so the brews are very scientific. As per my usual modus operandi, I sat at the bar and let the beertender choose my flight with beers named after space themes: Go Flight (NEIPA), Dark Matter (Belgian Dubbel), Heat Shields are for Sissies (Belgian Quad), and Densified Propellant (Imperial Stout). Yes, some heavy weight brews. I ranked the beers in the 3.75 to 4.0 range on untappd, so above average by a few notches. The place is very clean and fits the theme nicely. Most of the seating is higher end picnic tables, with additional metal chairs and small tables (pic). Some of the brewery systems sit behind the bar and they have the tap lists to the right. Decent seating at the bar and a fridge with togo beer to the right of the bar. There is a room for private parties, as well. If you go to the restroom, you will see art for various of their cans (pic). And there are various bits of memorabilia, like a print of the mission plan for the space shuttle. Great experience all around. I will return next time I am in Houston.

Great service team. D makes the beer, he's amazing! Steph paints faces-she's amazing!! Great patio with plenty of parking. 80s/90s tunes! Come grab a "beermosa"

On the day of the day of the marathon, my family and I were looking for a place to stay warm after the half marathon while we waited for my cousin to finish the full. It was an awkward time (just after 10:30am on a Sunday) so very little was open in the area! The kind employee let us come in early to warm up so we stayed for a few beers which were great! Loved their selection and appreciate that they also offer coffee! The atmosphere and service were also great! We will be back the next time we're in Houston!

True Anomaly was the last brewery I went to and I was probably a little burnt out. We also just managed to walk in a little before last call/closing time. Sundays are a still a little sleepy. The staff didn't seem to mind, actually they were dispassionate. We got up to the bar took a look and no hi or howdy. I knew what I was going to get but my buddy was on the fence and at no point was there any attempt in his decision making process. I ended up getting one of their sours which was ok. I think I would have tried some more but it seemed like it would burden staff for another so we just settled up and left.

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

Vibe/Decor - 4.5* The storefront is cool, nice entryway and gives a chill vibe. Stepping in it's a bit boutique and free space for studying and chilling, with some music in the background. They have a panty near the door for those in need who want water and snacks, which is a great cause, but sadly I watched it be abused in the short time I was here. The intent is, come in, take what you need, within reason, don't clear it out essentially. Well, I watched a lady load up her bag with snacks and water. It wasn't what I'd subjectively view as "fair." They have some TVs around that at this visit had the World Cup on and there was a nice setup for buying some jerseys if you wanted. Overall, I enjoyed the setup and witnessed plenty of people reading or studying. Food / Drink - 2* They offer some bites and coffee drinks, which is obviously what many are likely visiting for. I ordered an Iced Black Sesame Latte, which also had a black sesame cold foam. The disappointing part, it was nothing to write home about. Maybe I'm a harsh critic here since I make my own Black Sesame simple syrup at home. That said, I did have the person with me try it who has tried my sesame lattes tell me they thought mine were better. I thought, well, maybe I'll get something else if I come back. Service - 2* I can only speak to my personal experience, but when I walked in, multiple people stared at me, as if I was an alien or unwelcome here, it was odd and uncomfortable. I approached the counter to order, asking a couple of questions, which were answered, albeit probably not as anyone would define as "warmly." Now, once ordered, it took longer than one would expect given how few orders were ahead of mine. I was in no rush, but I did witness the gentleman in front of me who was wearing a local business' shirt, seem to pace and anxiously wait. Cost - 1* Anyone who reads my reviews knows I preface this with, always subjective, but it's been awhile since I walked into a place and nearly walked out on pricing alone. That said, I wanted to see if the coffee was worth it at $9+ bucks. Sadly, it is not, particularly when paired with the pace of service. Overall - 2* This is one that I think has a lot of potential, but it just misses on fundamental marks for a coffee shop. At the end of the day, it's a cool vibe and I could see plenty of people wanting to relax here, but in a city, and even area, that has plenty of options, this one is worth skipping. Average coffee, subpar service, and poor pricing. I will not be returning, but hey, I'm only one review and opinion so if you're in the area, maybe your experience will be different.

When we arrived I realized the place is a walk up shop so we roamed around once for parking and realized they actually have a small area to the right of the shop to park- it can be easy to miss. When we walked up, their pastries looked delicious! I ordered their s'mores croffin. For my drink I got the turmeric wellness hot drink- I read a lot of reviews complaining about wait time. We arrived around 10am on a weekday and it was quite empty. There was relatively no wait time for our drinks. My drink was unsweetened so I added packets of sugar into it and the pastry was delightful- crunchy, buttery, sweet, chocolaty on the inside all at the same time. This place has some picnic looking benches outside of it if you are interested in staying there. I highly recommend! I'm ready to go back and try some of their other pastries.

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!
