Vibe- another cozy coffee shop in the greater heights area! There’s so many colorful little patio tables outside and a good amount of seating inside as well. This is the sister coffee shop to Black Hole Coffee House in Montrose. Customer service- Amazing! The barista that helped me was kind. Food/drinks- I got a hot pumpkin spice latte with oatmilk and it’s one of the best I’ve had at any coffee shop!! Parking- There’s about 15 or so parking spots in the lot and some parking on the street.

DEFINITELY A "MUST GO" IF YOU ARE IN HOUSTON! This review is based on my experience and personal opinion: I am a regular of the Antidote Café, very nice place indeed. I decided to wait for the Covid-19 pandemic to sort of go away to write a review about them, so that I would be able to be fair and more accurate. Like I said we are regulars of this small but lovely café situated in the Houston heights district, when I'm in town we go at least twice a week. We absolutely LOVE their Latte and their Chai Latte.... This is NO fancy place by no means.... It is a very simple place, with few pieces of furniture and the furniture are sort of worn/old furniture. It is randomly furnished, no specific style but I find this place sort of whimsical and very relaxing. Very friendly, Very Comfy, Very Relaxing, Very.... forget about your problems for a few.... If you look at the pictures you can see they have two main sitting areas, one is inside and one is outside. the sitting area inside has two big comfy couches among other furniture and a long bench against the wall if you like that kind of seat. so whether you are alone or with friends you can still find your place here. Outside they have quite a few small tables where you two people can have a remarkable breakfast. so, whether you come in the morning, afternoon or evening, you can select the best seat for your needs. When it's chilly or rainy, you can seat inside and disappear in those soft couches.... I love that. Sitting on a soft couch while holding a hot Chai Latte....mmmm.... paradise to me. They have a selection of Coffee based drinks, hot or iced, and If you do not drink Milk you can select Almond, Oatmeal, Soy or Coconut Milk (great substitutes). Also they have a selection of pastries/deserts available and some seriously delicious Oatmeal + raisins cookies (so Yummy). Now you can find more products available for sale, like Coffee beans, ground Coffee mix, and many other products. They have restrooms and they are always clean, which makes your Coffee break definitely more relaxing. The stuff consist of one Employee only and he/she is always super nice and super friendly. Me and my Wife love her/him. (Now that I think about it, we have been served by someone else too... but cant remember her face). The Café is located in the Heights district of Houston, very nice area and not far from the Café is Studemont Park, a very nice city park..... you can go to Antidote grab your favorite hot or iced Coffee based drink and go drink it at the Park..... mmmm... cherry on the cake!!!! For you to know, the same person owns a Café called "The Black Hole" that is locate close to Montrose, so downtown and that's a very relaxing place too. CONCLUSIONS: Go, relax and forget about your problems at least for the time it takes you to drink a medium Latte :D

I love it here! Small but spacious, only issue is parking on busier days 🥲 but I love the guys & gals working behind the register <3 baristas are super friendly and helpful! They always greet me with a smile and answer any questions I have! Usually find the time to catch up on a book or work and even spend my leisurely time here !

Came here on the recommendation of a local teacher. Absolutely did not disappoint. Staff is super friendly, the place is clean and comfortable. The coffee is diviiinneeeeee. They know what they're doing.

Came by for coffee: had the "Antidote" (blend of drip coffee and espresso) and it was good and satisfying. Staffers were friendly. There was plenty of seating but it still seemed a little cramped. Also it seems parking can be challenging when it is busy.

Great coffee shop for smaller occasions like dates, studying, working, or reading! Coffee quality is top notch with well- balanced lattes. Cajeta latte hot or iced is a top recommendation. Just be mindful that it is smaller, so parking is limited, and seating is more intimate!

Antidote has a great vibe.....very creative & unique! As soon as you walk in the door, you will immediately smell the aroma of the fresh coffees. My favorite is the Cajeta Latte.....on these humid days, I get it iced, as it's more refreshing. The room is decorated with local art and it's the perfect place to chill, read, or ponder life. I highly recommend Antidote cafe!

Coffee was really good. Had a danish as well. Quiet. Very polite cashier/server/manager.

Fairly priced, tasty coffee with many dairy free options. Minimal wait time and nice, courteous staff. Restrooms are always clean and is generally a nice relaxing place with tables and couches to work, study or meet with people.

This coffee shop has plenty of seats. I was surprised that they didn't have heavy whipping cream 😞 It's not a big deal. The barista at the register was very attentive.

Kinda sucks when you wanna support local but the owner is rude and lacks customer service. Being nice takes you a long way when your a small local business. I gave it one star because the guy that was there was really nice and made me feel welcome. Other than his customer service I would really rate it a 0.

Absolutely adorable and cozy 🥰 blueberry scone slightly warmed hit the spot this morning, thank u!

This is a super cozy place to study and enjoy being with yourself. It has nice seating and dozens of choices. i recommend their iced chai with oat milk paired with a vegan chocolate chip cookie! it's a great yet simple pairing for a calm evening.

Really friendly baristas with great outdoor seating! The coffee wasn’t my or my sister’s favorite, but I’d be willing to try something else from there

Crunchy & cozy. Good espresso and topo Chico is available in glass bottles. Staff was friendly!

Tried their specialty coffee, which is cajeta latte. The flavor is really good. Enjoyed it and would get it again. Majority of their baked goods come from their sister store, Black hole coffee. They sell other cold beverages like kombucha, smoothies, etc. There is seating outdoors and some have umbrellas. It does get cold inside. They provide free water. There's also a toaster and microwave. The wifi speed is decent. It does buffer a little bit if streaming (e.g. Spotify) but not if you're just browsing the Web. If you need wifi for more than an hour, you'll need to buy another item I think. The wifi expires after 1 hour, which sucks. Parking in front is limited like other reviewers mentioned.

Antidote Coffee Shop is a hidden gem that not only serves exceptional coffee but also offers an overall delightful experience. Stepping into this cozy haven, the charming Christmas decorations instantly set the festive tone. The attention to detail in the decor reflects the dedication to creating a warm and inviting atmosphere for patrons. The moment you enter, the inviting aroma of freshly brewed coffee fills the air, creating an instant sense of comfort. The staff, with their infectious smiles and friendly demeanor, add a layer of charm to the entire experience. It's not just a coffee shop; it's a place where the staff's warmth becomes a part of the ambiance. What makes Antidote stand out is the speed of service without compromising on quality. Despite the bustling energy, your order is swiftly prepared and served, ensuring you can savor your coffee without unnecessary delays. The efficiency of the service complements the overall positive vibe of the place. The holiday decorations during my visit added an extra layer of joy to the experience. The festive spirit was not just limited to the exterior; even the interior was adorned with tasteful Christmas decor, creating a picturesque setting that made my visit feel like a cozy escape from the everyday hustle. In conclusion, Antidote Coffee Shop is a must-visit for coffee enthusiasts seeking more than just a caffeine fix. The amazing coffee, coupled with the cute staff, fast service, and the enchanting Christmas decorations during the holiday season, creates an atmosphere that lingers in your memory, making every visit a delightful escape.

I came here for the first time and the ladies upfront are sweet and helpful. I loved my macchiato I had got. Same price as Starbucks but definitely flavorful and enjoyable. This is definitely my new coffee go to place. HIGHLY RECOMMEND🙂

Good place to rest with a coffee or spend some time with your laptop doing your things. There is daily roast speciality coffes menu, interesting. If there is not extremely hot outside, the outdoors terrace is nice.

One of my favorite local coffee shops! Love the atmosphere here with plenty of light. Great place to read a good book or work since it's a pretty quiet and relaxed environment. Their cajeta and spiced brown sugar lattes are delicious! Parking lot is often full, so street parking is ideal. This place has also a big patio on the side to enjoy a nice day out :)

Had a great experience here. This cosy little coffee shop in the Heights was a great find as I just looked up "coffee shops near me" and picked this place out of a bunch. The parking situation was easy and they have some nice seating outside too. I ended up taking up a corner 🪑 next to this little blue couch 🛋️ which had enough outlets for 5 plugs. Ordered a warm chai latte and was told by the barista that they use locally sourced whole milk of better quality. The latte was smoothe and not overbearingly sweet. Overall a great first experience and I'll definitely be back here :)

Coffee is very good. Service not so good, I waited about 10 minutes for someone to acknowledge me (I was the only one in line). Parking sucks too. Didn't get great energy from this coffee shop.

This little corner is a whole vibe. Walking in, you are greeted with a cute coffee bar, pastry display and local goods like honey. I ordered a cappuccino, which was delicious. The seating area is very comfortable with couches for lounging. The industrial feel of the exposed brick and ductwork is contrasted by the homey setting and lo-fi music. A great place to sit and read, chat with a friend, and enjoy a cup of coffee.

Go-to coffee spot in Houston. Good wifi, comfy seats, great baked goods. Easily the best vegan cinnamon roll in Texas, much less town. Never enough parking, but that's most things in this part of town.

Super good coffee! Must get the Cajeta Latte with HALF sweetness level. This coffee is super sweet yet super delicious. They have all the nut milks if you’re looking for alternative types. They also have other flavors like Lavendar, Honey, Hazelnut, etc… which you can use to flavor your latte. Side note! They have an entire indoor cafe next door with many tables and free WiFi in case you’re looking to work.

Came here expecting very well made coffee on a weekend afternoon. Ordered oatmilk cappuccinos (I'm aware it is not the easiest milk to work with) and was very disappointed, foam was like o par with a autofoam machine (think Starbucks), and flavors were just not balanced. Did not finished it. Not sure if it was a one-off but at the same time the place seem understaffed as we had to wait a few minutes in front of an empty register yo order.

Pretty cool hippie place. Typical of the heights. The coffee was good. The atmosphere is welcoming, and it seems like a good place to work out of or come study with your laptop. Sufficient free parking up front.

Very consistent and fast coffee! I have been here too many times to count, and I always enjoy my time and experiences here. Staff is beyond friendly and helpful; and the atmosphere is so positive. I wish to share all the love and joy that Antidote has to offer with everyone! :-) Great flavor selections with reasonably priced, quality coffee. I recommend an iced antidote! Pairs well with any occasion.

First time visit and place did not disappoint. Husband and I had the cajeta latte which we both loved and an oatmeal cookie- also very good. Staff was very helpful and friendly. Great little coffee shop-we’ll definitely visit again when in the area.

Always a chill spot to just work on your laptop or read. I don't come here too often, but I have never had a bad time! Had their cafe au lait. Coffee was good! Staff was friendly. Whole space seemed clean. Prices are more than reasonable. I'd say for sure it's worth a try of you're in the area and need a cafe fix!

I've been to Antidote coffee twice in the past few months. I will definitely be going back! Antidote has a cozy, chill atmosphere that is perfect for getting some work done (which is what I did), meet with friends, play games on your computer, etc. The staff is friendly and helpful, the patrons are pleasant, and the coffee is perfect.

Amazing local coffee shop. I love their syrup availabilities, atmosphere, and service. Can get busy, but have never had trouble finding seating between their inside and outside seating.

Funky Vibe combining super friendly people and great coffee. I stop here at least twice a week to have a coffee and fire up my iPad or while walking the dog or riding my bike on the numerous trails in the area.

Luv this place for an evening coffee talk with your significant other! Must try the dulce de leche coffee ☕️ luv the atmosphere and service! Super adorable hole in the wall!

I really enjoyed Antidote coffee! It is a pretty small shop, but has a lot of nice outdoor seating as well as couches indoors. They had a lot of options for coffee and a wide variety of flavors. I tried a honey rose latte and loved it! The cajeta flavor is also great and unique. They have a lot of different milk options as well. There is not much parking available in front of the shop, but I was able to find street parking a block or two away pretty easily.
