    A Houston treasure, medicinal in every aspect. I always leave this cafe feeling better. Out of all the places I've worked in this industry, Doshi House has the best clientele & most genuine smiles. <3

    breakfast at this cute, local vegan joint was refreshing this morning. modern chic designs and earthy hip vibes greeted me as I walked into the the large garden patio and through the restaurant doors. you can feel the intention created into this space. the atmosphere was warm, welcoming, and peaceful. after looking over the menu, I informed the lady at the counter that it was my first time visiting and asked for suggestions on their tacos. she was super helpful and suggested the "potato & quinoa taco" which I ordered along with the vegan "Korean BBQ taco". interestingly enough, the beans and potato in one taco paired well with the slightly salty BBQ from the other taco which gave the meal a well rounded flavor that I enjoyed. the best part - their exotic coffee selection! they use ingredients unlike any place I've been before: saffron, ginger, red chili, pistachio & coconut cream. my final decision, which did not disappoint, the pistachio latte with almond milk. I'll definitely be back to try the other choices of coffee.

    Wow! What an experience. If you weren’t looking for this coffee shop you will probably miss it, but is well worth of the a stop! I am not a fan of vegan food but this vegan coffee shop has amazing food. weather you are vegan or not it is worth a try. Great food, great people.

    Best food I had in Houston. I ordered the asada taco, $4.77 per taco and pretty decently filling. I wish I had ordered more to try all of them! I also got a pumpkin cheesecake muffin and a coffee. Awesome food and really cool outdoor space with swinging chairs and lovely plants

    This is a great coffe/cafe that didn't seem like much from the outside. Once inside it's pretty cool with some funky but cool decor. Outdoor seating available. Coffe was delicious as well. Definitely have to come try more things. Didn't seem like much at first especially for being in this area but it's going to be one of my regular places now. Just wish they had more of a variety of pastries

    This place a hidden gem 💎 in 3rd ward area. If you are looking for a quite place to get started with your work and fresh organic roast and Brew to get your day started. Wi-Fi availability for free along with unique seating setup as well. In addition if you like to rent the place for an event indoor or outdoor or both is available as well. Please give this place a try for an historical Houston feeling. This place is a nice change for standard coffee cafe’s !

    Tried Doshi for the first time today, super comfy atmosphere and fast service! Got the cold brew with oat milk and it was just perfect! Thank you to Mare for making me feel very welcomed (:

    Quaint and zen coffee house in Houston’s Historic Third Ward. Had a Lumpia Taco to die for that was spicy, tasty and memorable. I will definitely try their other tacos and get that one again. Had the Pistachio Latte which was divine. Can't wait to enjoy so e community events and good eats. Positive vibes for sure.

    Loved this place. Decent prices, cute and quaint atmosphere, chill vibe. Squash soup was absolutely fantastic. Friendly staff. Not a ton of parking, but you can park on the street. Great place to chill and eat or drink. I’d recommend this place to anybody and hope to return!

    Wonderful food and great conversation with the staff. The Korean BBQ Taco was so good we had to order another. Unique coffee drinks and smoothies. A definite must any time you're in the area and when visiting Project Row Houses.

    Cute place! Unfortunately the food wasn't good enough to recommend (tried some tacos and they didn't have much flavor), but I'm still giving four stars because the coffee is decent, they have friendly staff, the main area is kept clean, and overall this place has so much potential. I'm rooting for this vegan coffee shop to keep trying new things and improving the menu!

    Extremely nice staff, beautiful and peaceful patio, and delicious coffee and food. It’s 100% vegan and they have several gluten-free food options like blueberry muffins and corn tacos. They were also nice to my small dog (who got a vegan treat) and we had a very good time there. The patio is dog-friendly as well.

    Dear readers, welcome to the laboratory of coffee houses….locally owned, roasted, and served to perfection…if you consider yourself a true coffee drinker, none of that corporate mumbo jumbo, then this is your place…it’s got a vibe…third ward, community feel, and great outdoor patio…we also tried the vegan tacos, they were absolutely delicious, you would never know it’s not real eggs, they come out like small works of art…the coffee was above and beyond…even my 12 year old noticed a difference in taste. It’s a great place to bring your laptop and get some work done…in the back there is a great meeting space you can use, with a great view of the patio…buying your own coffee tin, which is a work of art in itself, gets you a discount when you bring it back to refill it…come try it, and if you have you know what I’m talking about. ; )

    This is what a vegan coffee shop should be. Organically friendly environment. Good food and coffee. I tried the pistachio coffee, blueberry cornbread and the ceviche taco. Highly recommend this spot

    Definitely something I wasn’t used to but it could surely grow on me. Vegan meals are something I want to partake in or transition to. The interior was eccentric and warm. Customer service was nice and patient.

    I had the pleasure of realizing this place is so much more than the espresso drinks and food provided. If you want a cheap, quick, coffee, there are other places to go. If you want to feel welcome and support a part of the community this is that place to belong. There are no other shops I'm visiting while in Houston!

    I’ve been coming here since the ceiling was leaking and the seats were barely (sittable?) Much to say I’ve seen the place grow from the trenches and really solidify its place in the community. First off, Deepak has the best values as a business owner. I promise you if there is an issue with anything involving Doshi House, he will work to fix it. He is also always open to improving and adding value to 3rd Ward so Amy ideas you have he is happy to hear. The Food and Drinks: EVERYTHING IS VEGAN BUT IT ISN’T JUST FOR VEGANS. No matter what your diet is you will enjoy pretty much anything you get. I’ve had everything on the menu and can say all the tacos, coffee drinks, teas, and pastries are DELISH! The smoothie is also by go to when I need a pick me up. Note: they used to carry Sinful Bakery pastries like every other city coffee shop in Houston but have recently started making their own pastries; vegan of course, IN HOUSE. The baker, Ani is BRILLIANT which the skills. My faves are the zucchini bread, coffee cake, almond cherry poppy. My go to drink is a Matcha w/ oat and caramel syrup. Also note the syrups are made in house! Today as I’m writing this I got the chai which actually didn’t really enjoy but you may. Ended up going back and getting a iced lavender caramel oat milk latte and LOVED IT! 🤤🤤 The Vibe: Doshi House vibes are BEST IN THE CITY BAR NONE!!! Perfect blend of relaxing yet productive, homey but not too loungey. I personally prefer coffee shops that have a mix of tables and couches. And as far as the energy, you will just have to come check it out, tell them Peace from google review sent you. This coffee shop is a must try when you’re in the city. Whether you’re passing through or call Houston home, the moment you step in you are enveloped in conscious and holistic vibes that always leave you full. I get so much done here without feeling overwhelmed as I have bad anxiety. I hope you love this place as much as I do 🥰✨

    Went here on a whim to grab coffee and was pleasantly surprised! Great ambiance, beautiful courtyard to sit and enjoy the outdoors. Coffee was pretty great and they’re vegan! No extra charge for milk alternatives like soy, almond and oat milk. They do not have regular milk here and I was totally ok with that. Their pastries were decent as well. We had the pistachio latte, apple pastry and chili mocha latte. Will definitely be back to sit and enjoy the ambiance next time.

  • 5/5 Michelle G. 5 months ago on Google
    My favorite coffee shop in town! Everything about this place is great from their house brew to crew. It's a great place to kick start your day or just sit back on the porch and take break. And if you are not sure what you want, their knowledgeable and super friendly batistas will help you find your new favorite drink.

    This was my first time visiting a vegan establishment and trying vegan food. I was not disappointed! The atmosphere was laid back and filled with plants. It was a perfect spot to catch up with friends, work, or study. I had the hibiscus tea and a Korean inspired taco. The flavor and texture of the taco’s filling and sauces were excellent. The flour tortilla was the perfect thickness. I’m excited to return and try the jackfruit chicken option which my friend was delighted with.

  • 5/5 Wilbur F. 2 months ago on Google New
    Love the vibe. Food is amazing. Best vegan tacos I've ever tasted since I stopped eating meat in June. Most definitely can't wait to come back. I recommend this place to anyone looking for good Vegan dishes.

  • 5/5 Bryce C. 2 years ago on Google
    I brought my financee here for a coffee date. I use to come here years ago, and everything is wonderfull. From the coffee to the breakfast taco and service. A+++!! Best coffee in town with great Vegan Options!!! The vibe is so chill. You will fall in love with this place.

  • 2/5 Meghan W. 8 months ago on Google
    The food was below average at over 5 per taco. Customer service was not great. They did replace the potato’s I was originally given with some better looking, not really better tasting potatoes. Probably won’t be back.

    Coffee Immersion experience. I hosted a team retreat at Doshi House and experienced success. Before utilizing the co-creating space, we had the opportunity to sit in the seat of learners as our journey took us through the eco-process of coffee beans. We tasted 3 premium coffees. One representing the washed method from Costa Rica, the natural method from Guatemala, and the anaerobic method from El Salvador. We tried the coffees without sweeteners or milk, which none of us really wanted to do, BUT to our surprise... it was GOOD! It helped that we were not tasting big box store bought coffee. As a once in a while coffee drinker who never thought he'd enjoy a coffee black, I will say the anaerobic cup was really good, I ended up feeling like I ruined the cup by adding agave sweetener. I would enthusiastically recommend the coffee immersion experience; with friends, family, or co-workers. A special thank you goes to Billy and Deepak for sharing their knowledge, passion, and committment to coffee and the community.

    Super cute hidden spot! Location: emancipation Staff: Anaya I’m probably misspelling but she was beyond sweet, and explained the menu options to me. Seating: both indoor and outdoor Parking: plenty as well as street parking. Wait time: none Drink: Hawaiano and it was delish! Sweet and caffeine Food: banana muffin. Was not my fave, I personally preferred baked the day off but overall it was good. They seem to also have a small meeting room. Will definitely be trying this spot again. Service from Anaya was phenomenal and offer taste was perfect.

    This place feels like magic. My brother and I came in on a Saturday, it feels like being at your best friend's home. It's cozy, vegan friendly, and has one of the best iced lavender lattes I've ever had. Will be back ❤️ Perfect for studying or first dates. They have an outdoor area, wifi, AND a printer! Student's dream right?!

  • 5/5 Mikka A. 1 year ago on Google
    I LOVE this place! The Korean BBQ tacos were good. The Butternut Squash Soup was slightly underwhelming (but I also could have asked for salt and pepper, to doctor it up so I won't complain). But the atmosphere....baby!!! The atmosphere in their oasis is a whole vibe!!!😍😍

  • 5/5 Andres R. 1 year ago on Google
    This place is awesome in the afternoon. They change change the soup menus around every day and the food is all vegan. Their flavored latte and tea menu is very unique. The vegan tacos are delicious. I also noticed that they are now open in the morning for coffee and pastries like the Monkey Bread which was amazing.

    I have been going here for years. The young kid who started it did a great job being in this neighborhood. 3rd ward. I grew up here so it like coming home. Staff is always friendly and service is good. I like places like this compared to the big name brands. It has been remodeled so there are more places to sit. Prices and selections are reasonable. I forget the original owner's name but he was a vegan so that created some great food dishes. Only thing I would like to change is something they cannot change. The concept of customers sitting around for hours and only buying minimal stuff makes many Cafe go broke. People please limit your presence and buy more. Especially here the students cannot afford much so please share tables and stop your gross attitudes. Rest of us as customers pay for your tables.

    My coffee was excellent, tacos on the other hand a little less salt also the first two on the menu are a little Spicey for my taste by the end of the taco after fighting through the salt your sweating. I would either replace the potatoes with sweet potatoes or add Avocado to break up the texture in the black bean one and just less salt in the bbq one. Overall great service great latte
