Inviting and intimate ambience at night, lots of daylight and Internet during the day. They focus on quality with fresh-squeezed juices, artisinal beers and a great spread of liquors you won't find in every other bar. Great menu of retro and innovative cocktails as well as a variety of non-alcoholic beverages
Very cool, relaxed place. Easily the best coffee I've ever had, amazing baristas, and never too crowded. Great intimate spot for a date and the outdoor patio is perfect for groups of friends!

So you can’t decide if you want coffee or a cocktail? That’s why we have Double Trouble. There are so many people who work there in the mornings that the place looks like an Internet cafe. Early morning, enjoy a selection of espresso drinks, and after 11 am (noon on Sundays), you can opt for a cocktail or one of the local craft beer selections. There are very limited food offerings here (generally only a few pastries or breads), but Tacos a Go-Go is just down the way. You’re welcome to go pick up a bag of tacos and bring it back.
Vibe- This is a very cool coffee shop that sells coffee and cocktails as well! When you first walk in there’s a room with chairs/tables and a big TV. The bar area is located next to this room and there’s 4 high tables, 1 table, and the bar area that seats about 12. There’s green plants all around the bar and there’s a tiki them!
Customer service- Great!
Food/drinks- I ordered a hot latte with vanilla and oatmilk, it was good!
Parking- I parked on the street, that’s where most people probably park unless they walk over.

What a lovely spot! The friends and I decided to end our night here for a few cocktails and conversation.
The scene is comfortable and inviting. The music is spot on. The drinks are delicious. I had the Irish Coffee Martini and the K.I.S.S. Cocktail. Both are a true vibe.
I highly suggest visiting. I've got plans to return in the day time to enjoy the patio and Houston views
I absolutely love this place. It's a total vibe. I highly recommend this place . The owner is really nice. The drinks were amazing. I think everyone should go there.

It had been several years since I visited this place when I was living in Midtown and was happy to see that not only is it still open but has been renovated as well. I always enjoyed it in the past, but it did have a bit of a divey, "distressed" feel to it previously, which could be charming but sometimes felt a bit dingy. With the new construction, it now has a cleaner, lighter feel to it, while still maintaining the tropical, somewhat Bohemian vibe it had before.
Unlike many coffee shops that offer limited selections of beer and wine, Double Trouble (DT) is both a coffee shop and a full service bar, offering all kinds of liquor and cocktails. They have all your standard coffee options, with beans sourced from local roaster Greenway Coffee, There is also an extensive cocktail list, both of old classics as well as ones unique to DT, complemented by a selection of beer and wine. Additionally, at the intersection of the coffee shop and bar is a menu of espresso martinis and other coffee-infused cocktails that give you the best of both worlds.
I started off with drip coffee while reading and later moved on to an Irish coffee martini (Irish whiskey, Irish cream, fresh double espresso, and nutmeg) once I was joined by a friend. Neither drink disappointed. The coffee was bold with an excellent flavor, and the Irish coffee martini was smooth and creamy.
The two critiques I have of DT are the parking and speed of service. The place is located right next to the light rail, and as such, there is only street parking available on side streets, which can often be hard to find in Midtown. As far as service, there were two bartenders working when I visited, but neither seemed to have much of a sense of urgency or at least skill in quickly preparing cocktails. I waited about 7 minutes after ordering for the bartender to finish the cocktail before me and then complete mine, and I watched others experience similar delays.
Such criticisms, however, are not enough to prevent me from returning or to cause me to not recommend the place to others, especially considering its uniqueness as a bar/coffee shop concept.
Absolutely loved this place! We went for one drink and stayed for…well, it was definitely more than one. Robin, our bartender (and the proprietor) was a blast to chat with. We went during the day so it wasn’t packed, but we chatted with other patrons and there were plenty of regulars coming in (the best sign of a good bar).
They make their own syrups and use quality mixers, so the cocktails are quite nice!
There is a covered outdoor seating, a few inside tables, window seating, and bar seating. It had a great vibe and we would definitely go again.
I just loved the feel of this place. It’s hard to describe. Homey would be the closest description. They had me at cheap beer on a hot day and my wife’s cocktail, (Trashy Chai) was great and made quick for a cocktail. My friend had a cold brew and enjoyed it. All in all I left wishing I lived in the area.
Cozy atmosphere, 3 or 4 indoor electrical outlets and WiFi. The outside patio has fans and is in the shade. Low volume music playing in the background, good for conversations.
Drinks are made well and the bar tenders seem down to earth and give good vibes.
The Ambiance is so cool! There's an outdoor sitting area as well as air conditioned indoor area. AMAZING STAFF! A must see! Check them out!
The best bar to have an espresso martini! The best bartenders Lucy and Calvin!! They make the best drinks ! They take pride in their craft! They are so sweet and Made our experience amazing !! This is a must bar to try !
Great coffee and good drinks selection. Really cool/relaxing place. Covered outdoor seating with tons of places to sit.
There happy hour is from 4pm-8pm M-F and 12pm-4pm Sat-Sun. Well mixed drinks are $3.50. $4 glass of wine and $1 off draft beers.
Passing through and stopped by to get a quick Beer on very hot day. The barmaid & staff member was very friendly and welcoming. They gave me information about the area. Nice cozy place.. highly recommend.
Looking for some Coffee & liquor? This is your spot! Loved the atmosphere of this place with all the plants & little trinkets around the place. Staff made a good cocktail though weren't too friendly but that's okay!
Really loved this place. Its a chill spot, great throwback music, not overly crowded on a Friday evening, nice mixed crowd, and best of all they have some amazing cocktails! Definitely had one of the tastiest cocktails I've tried in Houston.
I’ve been a regular here for just over six years. Not once have I been disappointed—whether I am here for caffeine or cocktails or long enough for one to bleed into the other. I am always warmly received. The atmosphere is friendly, fun, casual, welcoming, and playful . The super friendly staff goes above and beyond every single time. In addition, Double Trouble is visually lovely. A remodel last year resulted in a charming inviting space (the old dive bar vibe before was good too). The drink menu is super cute and offers lots of no-trouble (nonalcoholic) beverages as well as fancy drinks and all the classics. I’m a fan of The Smokin’ Pistol and the Caribbean Cream (to booze up the CC add coconut rum). Everything is natural—fresh squeezed juices! The pup friendly patio has a ton of seating. And there’s always lots going on all around the block.
Beautiful bar with lots of covered patio seating. Very friendly staff always willing to make thoughtful recommendations. I'd have to guess this is the most extensive offering of espresso martinis nearby, but the standard coffee drinks are also top-notch and there are plenty of cocktails, beer, wine, and non-alcoholic cocktails to choose from. There is no draft system, so don't expect the typical beers you find on tap around town. There are chips for sale, but if you want something more substantial you can bring in a bite from the many restaurants within walking distance - maybe bring extra for a new friend!
This place offers COFFEE & ALCOHOL & sometimes in the same drink! Try their mixed bourbon or Kahlua & coffee drinks. Very budget friendly & they have HAPPY HOUR everyday! Awesome outdoor seating too!
This is hidden gem. I found it searching for some caffeinated cocktails. Didn't think I would find anything near. Great little place. A great variety of drinks and friendly staff. A very cozy relaxing ambiance.

Started coming here 5 years ago after finding a coffee shop/place off the rail to study from the med center. Eventually, I transitioned into the alcohol part of double trouble after enjoying the company of regulars + staff being kind and welcoming. I'm forever grateful for having this comfort spot after work to wind down. The drinks are phenomenal and vibes are cozy. ✨
