    I always love discovering new coffeeshops like this one. Big open space with plenty of tables so it’s a perfect spot to get work done. They have two floors plus the rooftop. This is already a very popular spot so expect most of the tables to be filled up if you come during peak hours. The parking lot is also spacious so finding a spot was easy. I highly recommend trying their West End Latte!

    This is now my FAVORITE coffee shop in all of Houston!The coffee was delicious, many classic options to choose from if your a coffee lover. Best feature of this place is the beautifully designed seating and study areas throughout the building. Has a very homey feel as soon as you walk in. There are 3 floors of seating and hang out spots as well as a rooftop patio area with seating. Very nice views up there of the surrounding city and downtown skyline. Highly recommend this place!

    First time here. Didn't bother to buy anything since there was nowhere to sit with a reachable power outlet. Hence, the 3 stars. I only found 2 empty tables on the third floor. This was around 11:30 am. There are four floors in total. The 4th floor is the rooftop. The ground floor has a tiny stage. There are different seating arrangements throughout each floor. The 3rd floor is the most basic but the most quiet. I was shocked based on how the 1st and 2nd floor are decorated. It looks like it was formerly a conference room and they opened it up for public use. Basic tables and chairs scattered around. The ladies' restroom on the first floor is cute! It has a mix of vintage and modern features. The parking lot was full and I was able to secure a spot only because someone was leaving a few seconds after arriving. They are open daily. Wish they stayed open late. I must say that their pastries are pricey. A ham and cheese croissant is $11!! Hopefully one day I'll be able to come here on a less packed day and taste their coffee. So basically if you arrive and the parking lot is mostly full and you want to work/study for a while, forget about it.

    Really nice coffee house. They have a very Centurion Lounge feel to the vibe and decor. There are three levels. First two were packed at 2:30 on a Tuesday. Sat outside, which was fine. I would go back.

    Super nice and lofty interior. Very inviting seating options. 3 different floors. First two floors have cool, open atmosphere. Third floor is for silent work (library noise level) The custom coffees taste a bit weird IMO. Would stick to standard coffees

    First time here. Love the atmosphere! The architecture is gorgeous. Staff and manager were very nice. Pretty pricey ($21 for 2 menu drinks) the coffee is average tasting, could use a little more rich flavor. I didnt mind too much though. Paying for the atmosphere, coffee and amenities. 10/10 for me and will come back!

    Started coming here a lot recently as it's so close to me. I study a lot at coffee shops and appreciate the size of the building. There's lots of versatility in seating. However, I do feel that there is limited seating near outlets. I personally like the taller tables on the first floor but it can sometimes feel like a scramble to find a seat there. There's also a rooftop patio that's beautiful but too hot to work at during the summer. The coffee is great. I always go basic and just get an iced vanilla latte. The staff are friendly and quick. There's a good mix of people hanging out and studying (which I love). My only major complaints are that they close on the earlier side and also have signs everywhere asking you to buy a second item if you stay longer than 90 mins. Never seen that at any other coffee shop. Otherwise, a fantastic place to visit. I definitely will be visiting often!

    "While I appreciate the effort put into crafting this coffee, I must admit that it didn't quite meet my expectations. The flavor was a bit off, and it lacked the richness and aroma I look for in a good cup of coffee. However, the presentation and ambiance of the coffee shop were delightful, and the baristas were friendly. Overall, it was an experience worth trying, but I'll be seeking a different blend next time."

    Me and my friend stopped by this coffee house while on a bike ride and were impressed by the older building architecture, good strong coffee and the "must try" almond croissants. They have plenty of space to cozy up and even a rooftop area with couches so u can chill.

    An amazing coffee shop and environment to relax or get work done. Staff is extremely friendly and helpful with recommendations or knowledge about the menu items, and the location offers 3 floors, plus rooftop seating. Drinks are well made and offer plenty of different options, and the other items offered are more than adequate for a quick bite. Multiple environments available, with a casual first floor seating area, cozy second floor seating area, spacious and quieter third floor perfect for getting work done, and a clean and pretty rooftop seating area.

    Loved this cute coffee shop! So much seating available for you & for big groups as well! Espresso was really great too, not that acidic & tasty. Pasteries and kolaches with cookie was awesome. Cookies baked in house. Would def come back here!

    This place is really really cool! I’m not crazy about coffee but love the coffee shop chill vibes. Their muffins and other treats were delicious. The seating areas are really comfortable and makes you want to stay forever even to do nothing. The staff was very friendly and I enjoyed kicking it here until my evening appointment. Highly recommend this coffee shop.

    Great aesthetics here. Comfy seats and unique set up. I love that they offer table service. So convenient and unique. Most coffee shops don’t have that option! The customers there were all friendly and helpful to each other. Just nice wholesome vibes.

    VERY busy coffee shop on the weekend. There are a lot of seating options, which tend to be full when there are a lot of people hanging out. The staff is friendly, but they made my order wrong (I assume it was because they couldn't hear me). The muffin I ordered wasn't too tasty, either. I definitely love the decor and the seating options, but it is too loud for a calm read in a coffee shop.

    Great place to complete school work, work projects, relax and network! I made a few connections while there so I would deem it as great place to rub elbows with other professionals. There are only pastries, no sandwiches so maybe eat beforehand or bring your own snack. There is a spacious seating area upstairs and downstairs. Restroom was clean, spotless. I spent maybe 4 hours there and plan to return

    Today was my first time visiting this coffee shop and it won't be my last!! If you plan to go on a Sunday at 12pm (which is when the coffee shop opens) plan to wait about 15 minutes for a parking spot on the lot. There ia a church in the same parking lot and all of the spaces were used for parking including street parking. I ordered the ham and cheese Croissant with a ice blended coffee with hazelnut. The rooftop is definitely a vibe! All 3 levels of this coffee house is amazing! Even my 4 year old toddler enjoyed himself!

    Excellent coffee, relaxing atmosphere. Great place to work with plenty of seating across multiple floors. Also great views from rooftop on a mild day. Definitely recommend!

    It became my favorite place in Houston. They have four floors of loft-style space, including a rooftop 🤩 1️⃣On the first floor there is a cozy cafe. 2️⃣On the second floor there is a small but coolly furnished balcony overlooking the first floor. from the same balcony you can get to 3️⃣the third floor, there is a paradise for people who work remote, as there is a whole co-working, quiet and relaxed. 4️⃣the fourth floor is a rooftop, for those who want to get some air and sunbathe, that's it! 🧐from the minuses is that there are a lot of tables for two, but since one person has laid out all his devices, the second one will not be able to sit next to him; if they would reorganize it somehow that to increase the number of seats. But anyway, five ⭐️

    Great ambiance, whether coming to read or meet with friends. Very crowded during peak times, you may have a problem finding a seat inside (unless you sit in the meeting area on the third floor). Great view from the rooftop deck.

    Absolute must go 10/10 coffee shop. Belongs to a church. Incredibly designed and kept. Cozy to the max. Near infinite space to work from. Cant speak for coffee (just had a decaf), but as a venue it’s A+++ If I lived here, this would probably be my daily default for work.

  • 5/5 Alex M. 1 year ago on Google
    Loved the atmosphere here! The coffee was decent and the ham and cheese croissant was delicious. The rooftop is pretty small but if the weather is nice, it is nice to sit on the outdoor furniture (make sure to wear sunglasses and/or sunscreen). The 3rd floor has a bigger space but seems less premium because of the foldable chairs and tables, I spent the most time here and while the sun is coming in, it's still very cool. 2nd floor has great cushioned chairs but less space. The 1st floor is the closest to the coffee bar and has highchair seating with a lot of tables.

    Can be upbeat and calm at the same time, there’s 3 floors and each floor up gets quieter. Really love this coffee shop, coffee is strong which I love 🩶 they’re key lime croissant is pretty good with strong coffee. Overall pleasant experience and accommodates all various study personalities

  • 5/5 Alex N. 2 years ago on Google
    I wish all coffee shops were built like this one. It was pretty crowded but they was space to sit down. Three stories of seating not including the rooftop. Wish the drink pick up system was better as we didn’t hear our order called out as there was a large line already in front of the pick up spot. I think my drink would have tasted better hot as it was in the sweet side. Overall good place.

  • 5/5 Theresa D. 9 months ago on Google
    I absolutely love The Coffee House at West End! It has become my go-to spot whenever I'm craving a fantastic cup of coffee and mouthwatering croissants. The coffee is always top-notch, and the croissants are simply delicious. The only drawback is that despite having plenty of available seats, it can be quite challenging to find a place to sit. The coffee shop tends to get crowded, making it a bit of a struggle to secure a seat.

  • 5/5 Ming San(Valerie) L. 7 months ago on Google
    Sheldon, THE GM at the coffee house was the best! He was ultra friendly and courteous. I had a moment to chat with Sheldon and found out that he and his family were also from Northern California. I was there a few months ago and this review is long overdue. I love the ambience. The place was packed and yet comfortable. I love the high ceilings, hence, making it spacious! I will definitely be back again!!

  • 5/5 Mario C. 2 years ago on Google
    Great coffee shop! Will be back for sure. Pasties are fresh and delicious. Coffee is great as well! Great vibe to relax, read, or think.

  • 4/5 Samantha G. 6 months ago on Google
    I came here for the first time and it was so good. I loved the warm breakfast croissants and the specialty drinks. The customer service was amazing. I could not find any seat which is becoming a normal thing in the city due to the popularity of coffee shops in the past few years.

    Amazing place and great coffee, but the only drawback is that they take so long for manual pour over coffee

  • 5/5 Esdwin L. 5 months ago on Google
    The atmosphere of this place is by far the best I have experienced out of every other coffee houses I've visited in this city! The coffee is phenomenal, their croissants deliver an explosive taste, and there is always plenty of space to study or just chill inside or outside at the rooftop! Definitely one of my most favorite coffee spots to work inside. 👌🏼☕
