Went there today for some coffee and had a great experience. In town for a conference and was happy to go to a local coffee... shop. The barista was so nice and helped us order. Friendly staff :). They\'re on the 3rd floor if the building, in the\"lobby.\" Go check out their Cinnamon toast crunch latte :). Read more

In retaliation for a much deserved negative review but one that graciosly praised everyone except the offending party, The very... next day, their response to my review wasn?t to take that as a ?coach able moment??. It was to sell me another coffee & thencall building security to escort me out of the building. Not only that but I recorded the building manager telling me thereason is because ?I?m a non-customer & not visiting anyone in the building?. Both statements are lies & misrepresentations offact. Fortunately, the courts & court of public opinion isn?t so easily dipped! The guy escorting me wasn?t even security, heis a maintenance guy. On top of everything, the building manager lady kept forcing herself into my space as some sort of bullytactic for me to move & still uttered the classic dog whistle statement levied toward intelligent black men: ?Sir, I?m feelingvery THREATENED by you?! Really? I mean, Really? Yeah, she went there. Needless to say, the owners I praised yesterdayaren?t who I thought they were. Then again, if you attempt raised having good ole? fashioned American Values like: Humility,fairness, liberty or justice? It?s pretty predictable as to what the results will be. In any case, this is going to be quiteexpensive for both parties. We have to start voting with our dollars. Supporting business that don?t respect nor actually careabout there customers, should be over! Read more

Super nice and beautiful place!! The barista was so nice and even remade my drink because I forgot to mention I wanted it iced.... The facility was so clean and welcoming and the drink was delicious! I got the honey latte! Read more

This is one of the best coffee shops in Houston, cozy and modern style with great coffee. They make high quality pour over... coffee. I tried their pastries and yogurt granola mix. Read more

This coffee shop is exactly what downtown Houston needed! I?ve had to make pour overs and lattes at home before heading in to... work, and prior to this, if I didn?t have time, I would not be drinking coffee that morning because I refuse to go to a chain.The coffee is roasted in EaDo weekly, and is really good. Also it?s fun to watch the pour-over machine do its thing lol Read more

Staff is awesome! These guys are true Barista\'s, they really know their stuff. Took time to offer me samples and explain... about how it was roasted and even where it came from in Panama. The flavor is so good, not bitter or over-powering like somecoffee chain\'s can be! I\'m going to be a loyal customer! Read more
