    Very good coffee - flavorwise. Great spot to chill or work from! They have a good selection of pastries as well. I will be back!

    Cute little cozy spot for coffee! Inside isn't super spacious but there's some tables, couches, and window seats. My friend and I ordered the pumpkin spice latte, salted caramel latte, and a pumpkin chocolate chip muffin. The staff were friendly and our drinks came out within 10 or so minutes. The coffee art was done beautifully! The taste was nice but I should've ordered the coffee to be extra hot because it was a little lukewarm. The pumpkin chocolate chip muffin was delicious though! I saw some flyers for events that are being hosted at Verbena so hopefully I can make it to those sometime in the near future.

    I always love coming to Verbena whenever I'm back in Houston. I study here and have lil coffee dates with friends and family. It always feels warm and inviting. It's pretty small and cozy with a homey vibe. Although there's minimal seating, I haven't had an issue with finding a spot. There's a comfortable couch, 2 cozy chairs, 4 small tables, and some high-top seating with charging ports. There's even a printer! They also have a little free library in the back, which is super cute if you want to share a book and grab a book. The baristas are all so kind, attentive, and quick. I've enjoyed their iced chai and iced vanilla latte. They also offer pastries and snacks. There's plenty of lot parking. Overall, Verbena is one of my go-to coffee shops in Houston and I highly recommend it!

    Cozy coffee spot. Decent amount of seating, and a good menu with the coffee classics. Prices are decent. What's neat is there's a little roastery operation in the enclosed room in the cafe, and sell local roasted coffee. They also feature what seem to be local artists and support a toy drive. Does feel very community-centric! Only one ding, there's cream soda on the menu but $4.90 a pop is a bit much for just canned soda (even if it's more premium), I would've thought it was house-made. Not sure if it was just that day, but the parking lot smelled terrible. Would study here again if I was in the area!

    Mocha frappe with two shots of espresso and mocha added is what my wife enjoyed, it was very tasty. When i go the a new place i usually enjoy a hot cappuccino wit' two splendas. I bought a bag of their whole beans. I've ground some and enjoyed a few cups of their inhouse roastery, Hywood Coffee Roasters, the beans are a medium light roast called Early Riser....me likey.

    Hot honey oat cinnamon latte - 8/10 - Nice and creamy but could use more honey and cinnamon flavor Iced brown sugar honey oat cinnamon latte - 8.5/10 - After they added more syrup this was good and flavorful Pumpkin chocolate chip muffin - 8.510 - This is great for pumpkin lovers, tasty fall item and after being warmed up the chocolate chips werre gooey This cute and quiet little coffee shop is great for doing work at and they have lots of syrup options including fall drinks!

    Iced Lavender latte
    Evelyn L.

    The staff are some of the nicest and happiest people I've ever encountered. I wasn't sure what to get but I noticed in the reviews that the lavender latte was popular. Personally I wasn't a huge fan of the flavor. I thought it was very water down. The price was fair. The place is small but cozy. Although I wasn't a fan of what I got, I would come back to try something different.

    Matcha Latte Iced
    Diana C.

    Verbena is a cute coffee shop on Memorial, with a cozy ambiance and free books for kids to read! I ordered the matcha latte with oat milk and it was good, but you could tell they either did not use enough matcha, the quality wasn't that great or the drink was more watered down. It wasn't bad, it just wasn't anything to write home about. I only had the matcha so I can't speak for the coffee, but I'll give this place another shot for coffee next time!

    Verbena Coffee is a great, local coffee shop that I just happened to stumble upon. I was meeting some friends in the Memorial City Centre area, but I was early so why not stop for a morning cup of coffee. Walking in, this place is very cozy and that freshly roasted coffee smell hits you right away. There was a variety of bar seats, lounge chairs, and regular tables to get some work done. All the wood features give this place a cool contemporary feel. As far as drinks go, I tried an iced mocha with almond milk. They have a variety of house made syrups so that's always a plus instead of the usual artificial syrups that other coffee shops use. The service was quick too despite it being a busy Wed morning. I'll definitely come back to Verbena Coffee next time I'm in the area. There was a variety of other coffee drinks I wanted to try, and their pastries looked freshly baked as well. Enjoy!

    Two iced Lattes and Danish
    Jacob D.

    We stopped in on an early Sunday morning and ordered two iced lattes, lemon poppy seed slice, and cream cheese danish. Danish was my favorite part of the order, flaky croissant pastry instead of a standard type dough made this elevated. Coffees were par for us as well as the lemon poppy seed. For me, not nearly enough selection to drive repeat visits with so few unique or in house made flavors. There was a board that had some seasonal teas, but not much to stand out with. Crew behind the counter were nice. The atmosphere was a bit lacking on my visit. Needed some background music for sure, just too quiet, all I could do was hear the employees conversations since there wasn't event a peep of low-fi coffee shop music to be heard. They have a printer and some board games if you do want to sit around for a while, but I'd like to see this place focus on finding some identity with their flavors and vibe.

    Iced Chai Latte
    Michelle Y.

    Verbena is my FAVORITE place to get chai lattes. So creamy and flavorful. The portion size is great too. I really like coming to Verbena to study and do work. The interior is small but cozy, and there are a lot of seats despite the size! Plenty of outlets too if you choose to sit at a counter or by the walls. The baristas are also super friendly. The only con is that it can get loud during peak hours, but with headphones, it's not a big deal. The drinks and space are well worth the noise.

    Winter menu - very nice chalk art

    I love going to coffee shops that have my name in them ;)…read more No but for real, Yemeni and Turkish coffees and teas anyways hit the spot. Pair that with my love of pistachio, and you've got a match made in heaven. This place looks ethnic, modern and clean. There's a painting of a woman on the wall who stares over us as we eat cake. We were lucky enough to come on a gloomy afternoon, my favorite a way to go to a coffee place. I tried a multitude of desserts, and they were all good. We also had four separate drinks, and they were all good. The cheesecake, milk cake and honeycomb bread were all good. The bathrooms were nice and clean. Overall- would definitely go here again!

    Pistachio! I'm a sucker for pistachio so I had to try their pistachio mousse cake and pistachio…read morelatte. They were both fantastic! The pistachio latte was not overpowering at all and you could definitely taste the nuttyness! Not overly sweet which is perfect for me! The pistachio mousse was very thick and rich. My party of friends all enjoyed sampling them both. Our group also tried their Mufawaar medium roast coffee with cardamom & cream (not shown) per the cashier's recommendation. We really did appreciate his rundown of the menu. However, the iced Mufawaar was VERY watery much to our disappointment. Very much everyone in my group's least favorite. The lotus milkcake (not shown) was delicious Interior I will say I was impressed at how big the space was. Very clean, ideal for some work / study. Beautiful patio outside if this Texas heat wasn't so terrible! Overall I have to give it a 4.2~/5. I think their cake selection is great along with their pistachio featured items
