Cute little place but BUSY and popular. There was a longer line but it moved rather fast. I would recommend a better line up area. it's becomes crowded at the door. Coffees were delicious and beautiful

I tried 3 of their drinks, cashmere, purple stuff which is an Ube flavored foam, and jade which is a pandan flavored foam. The espresso was legit had good flavor and the foam added a cool aesthetic and extra flavor to the espresso. My favorite was the pandan, I could actually taste the pandan flavor there so it gave the drink a nice sweetness. The Ube one was subtle and the cashmere was a more caramel like flavor. The place gets busy and closes early so I do get the hype for this place. Coffee is good and it's a nice chill place but it's more so of grab and go because the line inside the store is a bit too distracting to just hang around inside.

I got an ube latte and pandan latte. The inside of the store reminds me of a gentle monster store! Limited seating options, not set up for studying. The vibe reminds me of gentle monster stores.

The aesthetics are nice, but the drinks were a little mixed. Some friends said the following about their drinks: - Banana Matcha: too sweet - Golden kernel: too salty and doesn't really taste like corn at all. - Einspanner: the coffee used was too burnt but better after it was mixed - Cashmere: too sweet and a little smaller than the other drinks I had the Jet Black, which is a latte with black sesame foam, and I loved it, but that might be because I really like the roasted flavor black sesame in anything if my review were based only on my drink, I would have given this a 5, but taking the other drinks into account, it pulled the rating down.

I have been seeing this place all over social media so I finally decided to give it a try. Really strong and flavorful coffee with subtle flavorings added that doesn't take too much away from the actual coffee. The ube cold foam was absolutely divine. The Vietnamese style coffee was good but might've been way too rich for me. Worth a try!

Very helpful staff and amazinggggg coffees. So unique and delicious. I wouldn't stay in here to drink the coffee but it's still so worth it coming here.

I was introduced to this shop via Henry T'oo T'oo 's wife on TikTok . I visited with my aunt and fell in love with the atmosphere and great service . The lines can be long and parking is limited , so plan your visit ahead of time . A core menu is presented , but they also offer a rotating menu of seasonal options as well as amazing merchandise that is exceptional compared to most buisness merch .

I saw on instagram how ppl were saying they've waited an additional 30 mins after ordering. I was thinking they exaggerated but was told the same when I arrived by other guest. The line moved fairly well since it was after 12pm. I decided to try out two drinks since I live a good distance away and I wasn't sure I'd be back anytime soon. When I ordered the employee let me know it'd be 15-20 mins. I got a chocolate croissant it was underwhelming. Not moist, chocolate to croissant ratio seemed off. I came for the speculoos and selected the jet black as well based on the reviews. I was tempted to try the jade but one of the baristas who loves both let me know it's very sweet compare to the others I was interested in. Both drinks were good. I do think the sesame is a more complex flavor especially if you like to actually taste your coffee. I would try the jade and ube drink I think it's called purple stuff; whenever I'm back on that side.

OVERVIEW: Expensive drinks that could take you less than 5 mins. to consume, but worth it depending on if you don't mind spending nearly $10 for one. Service can be a little slow given how busy they get, and there's very little seating inside, so it's very much a grab and go type of setup. There's a pastry/snack menu but those also cost another $8-$10 so you can easily drop $20+ here for a quick breakfast. Overall we enjoyed what we ordered, but I probably wouldn't go out of my way to revisit. FOOD & DRINK RATINGS: - Sausage and cheese kolache (not pictured, 4/5): Good but not worth the $10+. - The Oki matcha (3.5/5): Creamy and smooth, but really nothing out of the ordinary good matcha. - Jade (4/5): Too sweet for my preference, but pandan flavor is good.

My first time trying Two Tone Coffee and I'm honestly very torn with this review because the coffee itself was really good and clearly well made. You can tell they care about quality, and I absolutely understand why this place stays busy. That being said, the wait time was very long. I waited about 30 minutes from the time I ordered to actually receiving my coffee, and this was on a Wednesday around 10 a.m. I'm not sure if that's their normal flow, but it was packed. Thankfully I didn't have anywhere to be, because if you're stopping in before work or during a tight schedule, definitely plan ahead and expect a wait. The only real downside for me was the timing and ordering process. Spending close to $10 on one coffee plus waiting that long makes this feel more like an occasional treat rather than an everyday coffee run. I'll admit I may have been a little cranky from the wait, but I do think it's fair feedback. Overall though, my coffee was delicious, and because of that, I would absolutely give them another chance. Good things take time, I guess.

Two-tone is very one-tone, or one-note! I was not impressed by this coffee shop at all. The hype was just that, "hype." Fell flat, one note and didn't really offer the same expectations or standards of what I look for in a coffee shop. So, yes. I am biased and I do have personal expectations of a coffee shop. I've been to enough to know that after getting to the front of the line and ordering my coffee, being told that a cup of coffee is another twenty minute wait, after having stood in line for half that time is already a red flag. My first visit, the line was out the door and then the wait for my coffee was an immediate walk out the door. I decided to give TwoTone one more chance. Went again the next weekend, and was still met with the same disappointment minus the 20 minute wait! The overall aesthetics, vibe, and ambiance doesn't really match my vibe. When you walk in, there are barely any places to sit. Two tops and a seating area on one wall is more of a "waiting area." There's always a line and a wait. They have all these staff members but somehow there's always a wait. The ambiance is cold, and uninviting. Very industrial and not cozy at all. On the other hand, it feels like a club for Gen Z'ers, with staff dressed with crop tops and no apron...idk just very informal and not really connecting with the patrons. Def does not give "community's vibes and screams casual. Now to the coffee: coffee is one note! They try to embellish the menu by adding all these Asian flavors, pandan, cafe su da, ube, and even an Einspanner, but there was nothing special about their ube latte. It def was not worth the hype, the wait, and the overall experience. Literally tasted loke ube cream with cheap coffee at a party. Def will not be returning here after all that I encountered. They really need to make more of an effort to connect with patrons and make their coffee shop more warm and inviting! And if you don't want patrons to stay and have a place to sit, move to an underground food hall where it's just a walk up vibe or open up at a park!

The best black sesame latte in Houston. I'm always looking for black sesame flavored drinks ever since I tried it in Seattle, so I was excited that TwoTone had it. The nuttiness of the sesame goes SOOO well with the espresso taste and it's a good creaminess too. I also like the texture of the bits of sesame seeds in the drink. The aesthetic of the cafe is modern with street-style flairs, it's a really cool space. I also love that there are Filipino flavors on the menu like ube and pandan. Most workers are super nice and say your name like they know you. They're also super attentive to ensure that everything with your order is perfect. Jonah was very welcoming and helpful, making sure we got a menu while in line! The weekdays seem to be better for wait-time, with little to no wait. The weekends however are packed and usually have lines. If you're not a line person, I would definitely come on a weekday. TwoTone is probably the best specialty coffee you can get in Houston, especially in terms of Asian flavors and creaminess. If it was closer to inner Houston, I would probably come here everyday.

That Purple Stuff & Einspanner
Michelle C.

We came around 12:55 pm on a Tuesday afternoon and they were already out of a few items including the Speculoos, Golden Kernel, and one of the matcha options. I really like the modern, minimalistic vibe here. Merch on the left and seating on the right (both high tops and benched seating along the wall). Ube cream layering was very light and airy but did take quite a lot of effort to mix with the viet coffee which was VERY strong. Ube flavor was very subtle but overall was a good blend. I found the service to be very quick and efficient, churning through the long list of orders they have pretty well. Update: I've been back a few time since my initial visit and the coffee is very consistent. I've tried different flavors each time and they have all been excellent. I completely understand the rave reviews. :)

Luce Ace Coffee takes their coffee very seriously! If you go to their W 34th location, you'll see…read morethe roasters, classroom space, etc. This is review is on the Richmond location which I visited recently. So my go to is the iced Island Latte. It's a latte with toasted coconut flavors and a hint of pandan which is popular in Vietnamese drinks. I absolutely love it and I find it difficult to try anything else because I just know it hits the spot every time. Now about the Richmond location: it's in the shopping strip across the street from Costco. The parking in front of the cafe can be limited so know that going in. This location is also pretty small, so a lot more to go orders than dining in. I met up with a friend there, found a table for two, and it was no problem. Staff are nice and ambience of the cafe is fine - nothing amazingly special. Drinks are fairly priced but can add up after tax and tip. One cool fact is, Luce Ave Coffee is popping up in various HEB grocery stores, so if you have one of those closer to your house and you need to pick up some grocery items anyway, you can get your coffee fix then. I highly recommend you try the Island Latte from Luce if you haven't done so yet!

We heard good things about this coffee shop and were so happy that they stay open super late. When we went in, there were lots of people studying and working, on dates and playing board games, even late on Friday night. It's very spacious, beautiful and clean. They have a really big menu as well and some yummy looking treats. We were very full from dinner, so we were only wanting coffee, but we plan to go back very soon to try some of the treats. I am diabetic and eat a lower carb diet, but not super low carb. I did want a little bit of a treat, but not too sweet. The really sweet girl working at the counter was so kind to us and gave us recommendations. I also love that they have decaf options and the decaf is so smooth and tasty. I ended up getting the half sweet decaf pistachio latte and oh my goodness was it delicious. It was so so so good. We are actually planning to try to go back tonight and try some more things.

This is a great spot to get some solo work done or meet with a group. It is not too loud, and they are located within a strip so parking is plentiful. Their menu had a wide variety of hot/cold drinks and sweet treats that you'd typically find in a Yemeni coffee shop, all reasonably priced. The pistachio latte was good, nothing extra memorable but it was what I was looking for in the moment. Keeping this place in mind next time I plan to work remotely from River Oaks (:

Good news is, you can park in the big parking lot on front of Hando's and walk from there. Not ideal when the weather sucks, but you don't really have a choice. And though the coffee shop's address is technically off Long Point, you can't see it from Long Point. It's on the other side of the shopping center. Google Maps does a good job showing you where the entrance is. The ambiance: I love how spacious the coffee shop is. There is plenty of seating and I appreciate that. The staff are also nice. Sometimes the line to order can get really long but that's because customers usually can't make up their minds. The menu is fairly extensive so pros and cons there. Now for the coffee: I've tried their speciality drinks, the hot brewed coffee, and flat white. They are all OK. Not bad but not great. Not enough strong coffee flavor in my opinion. Flavors are a little off but get the job done. Prices are fair - maybe a tad on the pricey side. Worth it if you're going to sit inside the coffee shop and get work done or meet up with friends. I would go here to meet with friends but not necessarily for the best coffee in town.
