Atmosphere: A+ best in HoustonCoffee: MehHad the West End Latte. Little flavor tasted like hot milk. Even a lady who was passing me on the stairs commented to her friends, "Did I just get hot, sweet, milk? Where was the coffee?" Unfortunately, I share in her sentiment.I have been searching the Houston area for Portland like coffee. We are coffee-holics and love a robust brew. If I'm being honest, I have had better coffee at other coffee shops. Apparently, I wasn't the only person today who thought this.Decor puts me in the mind of Agora Cafe with a more industrial vibe. Jammin' music super chill vibe, though! Get your laptop, or bust out with your pens and inks to sketch (that's what I did). Any level is great--but on a nice day the rooftop is IT! Was the coffee so bad I won't come back? No. The atmosphere will call to you. We need this in Houston. I will work with Baristas next time and see if they can make me a stronger brew. Lattes are typically steamed milk base, but they often have a really good flavor. I dunno, something was amiss. Can't put my finger on it. Staff was super friendly, I might add. I will be back--for SURE! I will try a different brew :-)

The ambience is great here. Seems that the owners have truly worked to create an open and eccentric environment. I enjoy Saturday morning coffees here !

I liked the fact that there are 4 levels of seating to choose from. During the day, which is when I went, there were enough people on the first level for it to feel like a popular coffee house. The second level was a bit more quiet. For people who desire a more intimate atmosphere with less talking. Level three was closed off from all of the noise, spacious, and respectably quiet with large tables for those who like to read or study with huge windows that allowed for awesome views. Then there was the rooftop. The rooftop is my favorite because of the views. It's very nice. Ample seating during the day, but I'm sure at night the views of the lit up skyline make the rooftop competitive. I enjoyed the coffee. It was a bit challenging to order because they don't have a menu backboard. However, they do have menus you can pick up and read while you wait in line. They have pastries and prepackaged sandwiches if you're hungry, but it is a coffee house. Don't expect a meal. Overall, I liked it.

Love this place! It’s now one of my go-to coffee shops. I’m always able to comfortably do my work. Love the drinks and pastries as well. In regard to parking, you might have to drive around the parking lot/side street a few times to find a spot, but that hasn’t been a problem for me.

This is such a cute coffee shop! Loved the delicious chai latte and pecan cookie. Three floors plus a rooftop seating area so PLENTY of seating available. Enjoyed sitting on the rooftop with a nice breeze and working remote.

This place had some good vibes, very chill. I got a simple iced vanilla latte and it’s delicious. Husband got a pour over and for $5, it was a good amount of coffee. My son had a hot chocolate and they do “kid temperature” so that was great for him. Would love to go back and try other drinks on the menu.
