Reviews for High Tower Cafe in Houston, TX
Not a Starbucks but better 5? service hidden gets a 4. The only access is so hidden I could only locate it after calling the... listed phone number, which turns out to be for the property management office rather than cafe. Yet the person who answered cameoutside to make sure I had found the hidden ramp. Wow; is that a rarity. This is the only eatery with any wheelchair accesswithin several blocks of the Omni Houston Hotel and conference center that has cold brew coffee. Although the Omni cafe and barstill lists cold brew coffee on a painted board menu over the bar, its barista confirmed that the online menu is correct;Birdie's Cafe & Bar no longer has cold brew, latte or any other iced coffee drinks. Unfortunately, the extreme neglect of publicsidewalks in Houston makes this entire area dangerous to traverse (Does Houston not have even one chamber of commerce toadvocate for public safety?); so even the short distance from Omni to High Tower has to be wheeled or footed mostly in thesloping streets. What a gem is the High Tower Cafe barista! She could carry on an intelligent conversation with anyone, and hasa stream of regular customers dropping in. I told her that I don't use sugar at home and find most Starbucks products to besickeningly sweet. She created an unsweetened Starbucks cold brew with heavily spiced cream--the best Starbucks coffee I haveever had. I guess the non-Starbucks locations have liberty to blend the Starbucks to better taste. This corner (of the glassbuilding) eatery carries Starbucks coffee and food products but is not a Starbucks. It is better than Starbucks! Non-Starbucksitems are prepared by the deli in the business tower. There was one Greek salad with capers, sliced onions, salad tomatoes,pepperocini, ripe olives, cucumber slices, Feta--but the greens had turned to mush. The barista called the deli and asked themto put together another one. It was the tastiest Greek salad I have ever eaten--also no doubt boosted by integratin Read more
Great food and they have the ability to take an online order so you can order from your office before walking down. Price and... quality is much better than Citiline cafe next door in One Riverway so I prefer to walk over here to Two Riverway. Read more
Wow. The breakfast tacos are so ????. Have that great homemade flavor. Salsa is good too.
Highly recommend the ABLT!!!
This place has huge scrumptious wraps lol, everything I got here so far has been delicious, I got a BLT today and man, when they... say healthy portion of bacon, they were not lying! I would highly recommend this place if you work in any of the riverwaybuildings, another thing I like is that the staff will actually come out to you to the table to bring your to go meal, orbeforehand, to ask you if you would like something a certain way, Read more
