    Small coffee shop with pastries; 6 inside tables; 4 small outside tables on front side walk; plenty of strip mall parking. Lunch taco shop a few steps away, and fine dining next door.

    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.

    Winter menu - very nice chalk art

    Very cute coffee shop with great tasting coffee and equally good pastries. Love the ambiance and the service is always very warm and friendly.

    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.

    Very good iced matcha at a decent price. Cute little place tucked away on the west side of town near Memorial. Not sure how busy it gets, not a ton of seating but what they do have is comfy. Quick service with a friendly smile.

    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!

The vibes reflect their culture well and I'm here for it. They have a bunch of pastries and a wide range of coffees to choose from. I tried the rose Adeni chai. I don't know about the rose part of it. It was basically the a cold foam part of it but I don't feel like the flavor tasted like rose or anything, just had the pink color. The Adeni chai did taste authentic. I also tried the Turkish coffee and that was strong and bold. I don't feel like the taste was too strong for me though, it was easy to drink. I also liked the presentation of the coffee. They put it in a traditional coffee pot. If you like strong coffee then this is for you. I tried the meat samosa and it was crispy and the inside was a mix of onions and minced meat. It had a nice texture for me but the inside wasn't to my flavor of taste. That's just in my opinion because I don't like onions. I then tried the Knafeh cheesecake. The Knafeh wasn't as crunchy as I thought it would be but the cheesecake portion was just like an original cheesecake, tangy and rich. I enjoyed the cheesecake. I guess I was expecting of a more of Knafeh taste like the top would be like half Knafeh instead of like sprinkles. Nevertheless, it was still good it just wasn't what I expected.

    Was in the mood for matcha. recently one of my favorite matcha places recently closed down so now…read moreim on a mission to find a new favorite that isnt too far. This was my first time at muse tea, its one of my sisters favorite places so I figured why not try it first. Walked in and was happy to see it was nearly full, quite literally only one table available. A good sign. Was greeted when we walked in. I had looked at the menu before heading over and was initially thinking of getting the blueberry matcha since I had yet to see that as an option at other matcha places. BUT saw they were doing a gingerbread matcha for the season so i ordered that. My fiance ordered the oolong matcha. I loved my drink, so much so that I would definitely get it again but not sure if it'll still be around by the time i go back. If anything though I'll definitely get the blueberry matcha. The oolong matcha was good but the oolong was more subtle that he would've liked and overall not as thick of a drink as he'd want. We both plan on going back though to try more things!

Parking was difficult to find because it was a Saturday but they said it's usually not bad during the week. The loaded bagel sandwich was so good!

One of my friends had bean and cheese tacos and she mentioned it was a nice touch to have with black beans instead of refried.
