We went to the cafe at around noon on a Sunday. It was almost packed, but we were able to find a nice table on the second floor. The cafe blends perfectly with the artistic, vivid and young atmosphere of Montrose.
I ordered a latte and it was great. I love the ambience with all the paintings on the wall, and the nice match of colors of all the decorations. On the second floor, you got a nice view of the street, and you could chat there without much distraction. The staffs are friendly. They also have a wide variety of baked food. I would love to go again.
On a week night, this hot spot is packed where there aren't enough seats to go around inside and out. After a beautiful candlelight concert in downtown, we stopped in for some late coffee and pastries. The pastries are in the much sweeter side but the coffees are made to your preference, honey or stevia alternatives to sugar etc. What was beyond expectations were belly dancers who performed in the middle of this two story, rustic coffee shop with what? Candlelights🕯
We enjoyed visiting this place. It's open until late and has plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. I personally like the atmosphere with the music and chatter. Coffee houses can be for socializing too.
And of course, the artwork inside is wonderful!
Boisterous, Greek-themed coffee shop in the Montrose area
Pros: great social atmosphere, longer opening hours, good coffee / drinks
Cons: limited seating, noisy environment, steep stairs are a potential hazard, parking is confusing
Ambience: Not for quiet-coffee shop goers - there’s always loud music playing, accompanied by the chatter of the numerous guests. The interior is styled as a forum space - the first floor bar and seating area opens up to an atrium with the upstairs seating area. The upstairs area is quite narrow, with uneven tables, chairs, and flooring.
Service: is friendly but the lines are long. Staff are diligent about cleaning up mugs / glasses once you’re finished.
Value: coffee / drinks run from $3.50 for black coffee to $6.50 for specialty drinks.
Coffee: admittedly not a big coffee drinker but have enjoyed their specialty drinks e.g., chai latte, honey matcha latte, etc.
Trendy Greek inspired(?) cafe that sorta looks more Nordic on the inside but it is a vibe for sure. College kids and older hipsters throughout with the cool staff kids just chilling. Has a small sorta bodega goods for pick up and go with some pastries and of course coffee!
The reason we’re all here! I tried the Lavender Fields Latte and I gotta say despite this being overused or overplayed, it was the best Lavender latte I’ve had. So try it if you want to compare. Not that I particularly love trying these in general but from the signature drinks list I had to try it.
Trendy area to walk around in as well.
A pretty nice Greek inspired coffee place. It has awesome Greek pictures and decor in the interior. The ambiance is good but I would say if you’re more of a quiet coffee place person where you go to study or get work done this might not be the place. It’s really busy and gets pretty crowded and of course more people creates more noise especially because the seats are not that far apart. Nevertheless, great place to meet a friend and network.
Really good iced latte. Cool 2 story place with pastries as well. Definitely has a cool quite vibe to it. Parking is in the back so you go in through the small driveway next to it on Westheimer. I missed it the first time around. Baklavas are delicious here.
Amazing coffee shop in the heart of Montrose. Frequented by neighborhood locals, it offers coffee, tea, wine and beer. They also have some some pastries. It can get really busy, many students come here to do work or work on projects. There is a big patio, smokers hang out play chess and socialize.
If you want a spot to go get coffee or wine super late and get some work done, this is the spot. Also Wednesday nights they got belly dancers which is very interesting.
One of my go-to coffeeshops in Houston. Dance performances some evenings, interesting space, and great drinks. I typically get the Freddo espresso - one of the few places have found the drink in America.
Good spot to get coffee in the late evening- we were here on a Friday night from about 9pm -11pm - the place was hopping ! People with laptops, people just having conversations. Only two complaints is no coconut milk - had to get almond :( - and no gluten free treat options .
It's a nice cool cozy spot, you will bump into some arms and be really close sitting to other groups so if that's not your thing you should skip this place.
We just had a coffee and cookies and it was really good, the vibe of the place is great to have a conversation or also work/study on your computer, I've been wanting to come here because I always see that its packed, so I gave it a shot and it was a good experience.
Not sure if I loved the small tight setting but some people may like that, that's the only reason I didn't give it 5 stars.
Such a great coffee shop! The atmosphere is very pleasant- they have soft/smooth music playing in the background, the coffee aroma is lovely, and the people who fill the shop are from all walks of life. We arrived around 1PM but be aware it fills fast and stays full.. they have outdoor seating so that’s an option if the inside isn’t available.
First and foremost. The coffee tastes really great! Not as hot as I would like it though. The service was quick as we had our coffee by the time we finished paying. It is definitely crowded depending on when you go and they could definitely use help to clean up tables when people leave.
Got to finally try the freddo cappuccino and so glad I did! We got a few savory pastries and pistachio baklava. Don't let the parking discourage you, it's worth it.
Being an European, I can tell you that the vibe is correct and the guests are mainly young people with good manners and laptops. Music is optimally loud and well suited to the place. You can hear the chatter, and the crowd is "dense" enough so the place becomes cozy and warm.
Coffee is ok, better that the average, but not stellar.
Toilets are not the best, I would give them 3 stars.
Parking is crowded but I got lucky, thus also 3 stars for the parking.
Overall, for Houston, a good place to drink a coffee.
