    Wonderful if hidden gem at Rice campus. Even the drip coffee is remarkable, and the price will surprise for the superior quality. Definitely a must when you visit this school.

    Cheapest and best coffee drinks ever!! The staff are so nice and cool. If you bring your own mug you get a discount. I have spent like so much time/money here. All worth it. The special drinks are very good and so are their Italian sodas.

    Excellent student run place. Always busy and the coffee is amazing. The one with the taste of pecan is my favorite 😁 pricewise is very affordable. If you bring your own mug you get your coffee for $1 which is a great deal if we consider the quality of it! I'm new in Houston but this place is already one of my favorite!

    Coffeehouse is surprisingly good considering it is run entirely by college students. It is also way cheaper than most coffeeshops, while maintaining quality drinks with occasional specials. The cortado was pretty strong, and, as with a lot of the coffee here, had a very dark taste. I would recommend this place to anyone visiting campus looking for something to perk them up.

    1. Pros: A. Delicious coffee B. Reasonable price C. Abundant outlets inside & outside D. Fast free WiFi inside & outside E. Not very cold F. Parking in Greenbriar Lot which costs $2/day. 2. Cons: may because the cafe belongs to the students here, noise is all around.

    Really friendly staff made up of students. I got a Macha Freeze with Half and Half and it was amazing! The atmosphere is really welcoming and buzzing with the keyboards of promising students! Will come back for sure!

    Tried mangoo-peach and pomegranate smoothies here, and both were reasonably good! Their plain lemonade is great for the hot weather! And the vibe of being around Undergrads is always refreshing:D

    Great student run coffeehouse. Those smart kids know to make a great cappuccino!!!

  • 3/5 Yavuz S. 4 years ago on Google
    Cheap, tastes fine, BUT SLOW AS HELL. If you are planning to order something other than black coffee, just say goodbye to your precious "at least" 20 minutes. The last time, it was not that crowded, ordered chai and cappuccino, took 20 minutes for them to prepare it. If you are in hurry, do not bother.

    Love love love Rice coffeehouse! Prices are cheaper than any other coffeeshop I've been to! Definitely tailored for a student experience, as the drink selection can be quite sweet, but there's something for everyone and it's a great study and socialization space. I love to come do work here or catch up with friends. It can get busy at times but that's expected of any coffeeshop on a college campus. The baristas (or Keepers of Coffee as they call it) are always so sweet too!

    Bright and bustling university coffee shop. Great vibes. Lovely staff. Nice coffee.

  • 5/5 Choco L. 1 year ago on Google
    Cheap and very delicious coffee!! Student owned service so definitely visit them for support and get two cups of amazing coffee under $10. Highly recommend their Cup of Ambition if you like chocolate!! Place is usually very crowded so be prepared to wait a little (sometimes a lot) to get seating.

    Love this place and their coffee(I’ve been coming here for 3 years), but I feel like it can get a bit hot. Needs some AC.

  • 4/5 Adam K. 6 months ago on Google
    The drip coffee during off-hours can be so foul 😭 so get an espresso-based beverage. Best thing about chaus as an alum is the serene space to sit outdoors right outside the building. And no upcharge for non-animal milks 💕

    I liked the almond butter croissant a lot 8/10 and the strawberry smoothie was a 7/10
