    Okay where do I even start? This might be one of my new favorite coffee shops in town! Not only do they have amazing coffee but their food menu also has very delicious offerings! I’ve tried their salads, gyro wraps and their breakfast bagels and everything is super delicious. Plenty of tables so finding a place to sit is never an issue.

    What a beautiful place to have some brunch! This open concept coffee house has an ample selection of carefully crafted coffees, a delicious menu of food items, and some vegan-friendly selections. The ambiance is inviting, is big windows and tables in every corner - so you can enjoy a warm (or cold) cup of joe while you work, study, or just relax. Will definitely come again!

    Roast & Brew is a European-style café and coffee shop in the Heights neighborhood of Houston. It’s tucked in a residential area, so it’s a more relaxed vibe with a private parking lot. Although we came to grab a coffee, we found they offer Greek foods, international and craft beers, European chocolates, and more. There is a lot of space inside with comfortable chairs and tables. They also have an outdoor patio. If you’re looking for more chill coffee shops in the Heights, add Roast & Brew to your list!

    Makes me wish I lived closer - this place is perfect. Quick, attentive service, delicious coffee with plenty of options, and the food tastes like there’s love in it. Gyro and coffee definitely isn’t my typical go to, but it might be moving forward. My wife got a breakfast plate and son got a Nutella croissant, and everybody was satisfied. I’d be a regular if I lived closer. Love this spot.

    This cafe has wide variety of food and drink selection. All the way from coffee to refreshers to alcoholic drinks. And they also have small pastries to full on meals! They open early and stay open very late! They have plenty of space indoors and they have some outdoor seating as well with plenty of parking spots. Love the coffee and the people. This is a perfect place to study in the heights. One thing that I’d note though is the music is loud for my taste to be able to study…

    I am in love w this place . Came on a Saturday. The wi fi was on point! I connected 3 devices without problems. I love that they have drinks to wind you up and down. I had the wines it was delicious. There’s ample parking space and sitting space but maybe I lucked out today In finding some real estate. Also has a Nutella bread which was delicious and chicken kebab. It was such a good work vibe sort of place.. quiet, chill sounds in the background, a nice respite when you need to get away… highly recommend.

    The owner is super friendly. Staff is kind and attentive. Super clean restrooms. As a coffee devotee, it’s nice having a coffee shop that not only is open late (when compared to all Houston coffee shops), but that has a full kitchen. This is very convenient for those long study sessions or when I have something pressing to finish. Definitely recommend. Love trying the different coffee varieties. And I also like ordering an iced hibiscus tea with a pump of strawberry syrup. Their pastries are delicious!

    Cute spot in the Heights tucked back off Shepherd with the residents. They have a parking lot but not a lot of spaces. Plenty of seating inside and a nice pergola with seating as well. Classic coffee shop offerings for drinks along with an array of food for breakfast, lunch and dinner. They also have alcoholic drinks as well from beer to wine. We ordered a Greek Frappe and a salted caramel mocha. Greek frappe has a bold flavor that did give me taste of the Greek region (reminded me of tahini). It’s made with instant coffee, milk, sugar and whipped. Salted caramel mocha was basic ice coffee with caramel syrup, you could really taste the syrupy after taste and wasn’t for us. Food wise we got sausage breakfast sandwiches. It. And on sourdough (store bought) with scrambled eggs and a tomato on top. It came with “hash browns” (cubed potatoes) that were cooked crispy but still had a nice squish in the middle and a seasoning on top. Also had a side salad. We did try the carrot cheesecake and walnut baklava, very good! I would come back and try more as their menu is lengthy. Maybe we just ordered the wrong items. Overall the dish and coffee was fine, you could make better at home. Atmosphere was great and I can see it being a great hangout spot in the evening with friends/neighbors enjoying each others company over drinks. 4 stars for potential as a hangout spot, atmosphere and walkable for residents. 3 stars for food and drinks.

    This place has become one of my favorite spots. I wish I had discovered this when I was in school because I could literally spend the whole day there. They have a great food menu, including desserts, drinks, etc. The best omelette I’ve had in Htown hands down! The service is impeccable every time I go!

    Was looking for a coffee spot to do some reading and writing into the evening, and this one popped up as one of the few in Houston that is open late (until midnight seven days a week). The place has a tastefully eclectic decor, with walls covered by old posters and travel advertisements of cities throughout Europe (Less youthful Houstonians will appreciate the 90s era Continental Airlines placard). There's also a "God Save the Bean" mural of Queen Elizabeth II and framed coffee bags from around the world such as Brazil, Honduras, and Ethiopia. Seating is more than ample with lots of tables and chairs spaced throughout. As far as menu items, there is food (all-day breakfast and primarily Greek and Italian-type dishes), beer, and wine on offer in addition to coffee. I was also happy to see that all said coffee is sourced locally from Houston roaster Geva Coffee. On this occasion, I just ordered regular drip coffee as I didn't need anything extravagant, Ordering brought the one criticism of the entire experience which was that the barista seemed a bit inexperienced and didn't know what country of origin the coffee beans for that day's drip coffee were when asked. No matter, though, as the coffee tasted good regardless, and I asked more out of curiosity than any actual snobbishness or concern I'm often more of a nocturnal person, but as mentioned before, it can be hard to find quality coffee places in Houston that cater to the evening crowd. I'm glad to have found another place that checks that box while also just being a solid establishment in general.

    Coffe and the pastries I got were great. Everyone was friendly and the inside of the place is pretty cool. Has both indoor and outdoor seating. Plenty of parking available. Will come back to try more of the food but it's a great place.

    Roast & Brew is a cafe ripped out of a Network TV show, or movie. It's cool, and modern ambience feels so familiar! I've been coming to this cafe for roughly 2 months and I can confirm the vibes are CONSISTENT. Great jazz vibes, quirky art and decorations, AMAZING pastries!! The drinks are great too, did I mention they serve warm meals as well, and the best part is everything is VERY well priced. Swing by Roast & Brew on a weekday to study, or just meet a friend to chat. Bring your date on a weekend to impress her with your vast knowledge of caffeinated drinks and people watch. Come on a Sunday after going to church for a nice brunch, or evening with friends. In any case Roast & Brew is an all around cafe that serves it all, with a smile :-)

    Great ambiance, nice relaxing music, lots of seating, tables and chairs, comfortable couches , plants and pictures. The coffee ☕ is good, but also serv beer, wine and food.

    I have come here twice while traveling for work and left super satisfied both times! The coffee is fantastic, but it’s really the breakfast sandwiches that shined! Each is served with potatoes and a salad and I can’t tell you how nice it was to eat a full breakfast before the workday began. I definitely will come back the next time I’m in Houston!

  • 5/5 Maria D. 6 months ago on Google
    Great spot for a reasonably priced breakfast and delicious coffee! Also love the fact that they are open late cause it’s rare to find a coffee shop open after 7 or 8

    My family is here for an adoption, so we go to a new coffee shop in the area each day for both a way to get out of the house and because we LOVE coffee :) The young male barista was friendly and had a calm and polite demeanor. I generally get a vanilla or hazelnut latte and the hazelnut latte was great! It wasn't too sweet either. The atmosphere was nice and relaxing. Lot of windows/bright and lots to look at on the walls. Lots of seating too! The only part that was not my favorite, was the parking lot. It is pretty small with no turnaround, and we have a larger SUV while we are here, so we had to back out of the parking lot to get to the street parking. But there was definitely enough street parking.

    This place is awesome! A true proper coffee shop with everything Houston. Elevated food and drink selections as well as the atmosphere.

    I loved this new spot, we tried the Freddo Cappuccino, egg croissant and avo toast. Food came up quick and it was delicious. I liked the interior decor and the patio lets you enjoy the weather. I will definitely make it my go to spot for good coffee and breakfast. Lots of seating options too.

  • 4/5 Liz S. 4 months ago on Google
    This coffee shop was incredibly busy. There is a good amount of seating but every table was taken when I was there. Not the place if you need a quiet place to study. But otherwise, it is very cute and would be great for just having coffee with a friend. They also have a nice outdoor patio.
