    I bought 4 different bags of unflavored whole coffee beans. All four types had very little taste, i'm guessing their quality control is nonexistent, either they were roasted awhile back or the quality wasn't there to begin with. Some places put a roast date on their bags...not here. My wife got a few bags of flavored beans that were good. I will search elsewhere for quality coffee beans.

    In short: would not recommend for personal shopping. There are others with similar concerns as mine, wish I had read the reviews. Reason: Beans don't have roast-on date or batch number, so there is no way of tracking how old they are - you just have to believe them. The beans I bought tasted fine when I made espresso with it - but this lack of transparency can and will lead to inconsistencies in brew quality on my end and I am going to a roaster specifically to avoid that.

    My parents used to bring me and my sister here while running their weekend errands back when we were just tiny tots. Now that I’m living in Houston as an adult I’ve started doing my coffee shopping here and it is such a pleasant experience. They take the time to answer your questions and recommend the perfect beans for you out of plenty of roasts and flavors to choose from. Also have a good stock of coffee equipment (Chemex, grinders, mugs, etc). Definitely worth getting out of the coffee aisle at the grocery store to try out this place, you won’t regret the extra trip!

    I love coming here and getting bean refills! The staff are always spot on with recommendations and are always willing to help me pick a new bean. I've been coming here for several months and it's my go to place for coffee. They have a great variety as well, including teas.

    One of the best local roasters. Excellent flavored coffees, and a good selection of coffee and tea making supplies.

    Love this local small biz coffee shop. I have only been getting beans from here for a few months, but wow I am so happy to have found them. I used to buy beans in bulk from warehouse store, then found this gem. Shopping small and buying local is very important to me (a small biz owner myself). They have a vast selection of beans. Will grind them any size for you. They even roast them here in Houston! I am a new loyal and forever customer of this great coffee roaster.

    Best coffee roaster in Houston. I travel there regularly to get my beans, Mexican Altura is my go-to coffee because of its low acidity. I have tried & like the Mocha Java, Peru Chanchamayo & others. Give them a try, tell them your preference & I'm sure they'll have the right roast for you.

    Why would you get coffee anywhere else? The beans are AMAZING. They smell and taste delicious, are sold fresh, and grind perfectly. The employees are so genuinely kind and helpful. They also provide great suggestions and make brewing coffee as easy as possible. This is a Houston staple that deserves to stay around forever. It puts other coffee to shame.

    I always have a nice visit when I make our "coffee run" here. Everyone is friendly and they know their products. There are also plenty of little side snacks that one can purchase to eat with one's coffee and a plethora of coffee makers, gadgets and cups. One can also order coffee online which is handy (during the pandemic for sure). Then there is the added bonus of how nice the coffee makes our car smell on the trip home.

    Wonderful people and great coffee! The owners and staffers are always super helpful, convenient location and no cream or sugar needed for their beans! Worth every sip and penny for the drive from Montgomery County every few months.

    This is my go to spot for coffee for my office and home. Melissa and Mikael are always so friendly and thoughtful whenever I come in, whether it’s for my afternoon pick me up or the large order I place for the workplace. They are very knowledgeable about every coffee that they stock and always make solid recommendations based on my preferences! I also love stopping in for their iced coffees on tap. Great prices, friendly service, an overall great small business in Houston.

    Went in with little knowledge of coffee beans. I was going in to find a gift for a coffee lover. The gentleman in the front was patience and gave me some understanding in the different origins and flavors. Loved my experience!

    House of Coffee Beans is the best! Great selection of fresh coffees, very helpful and knowledgeable staff, pleasant atmosphere. I've been going here for over 20 years!

  • 5/5 Geoffrey H. 1 year ago on Google
    Fantastic coffee, and wonderful folks. I used to get my coffee beans here when I lived in Houston. I still get my espresso beans here (via their online store) and they ship to me. It's been 6 or so years since I have been in person and it was great to stop by again. Highly, highly, highly recommend their beans to everyone!!

    My family has been buying coffee from HCB since the 70s. They have the highest quality coffee I've ever had. I prefer dark roast coffee and their Italian roast is amazing! The whole beans are so oily and smell heavenly. I look forward to my morning coffee. Friendly staff, great coffee.

    Bought two kinds of beans. They said it was roasted in a week… but when I made the pour over, there is no bloom on one, there’s tiny bit bloom on the other one… which mean the beans were not roasted within a week😢 disappointed ☹️

    I never thought my palette for coffee could be broadened so much. Highly recommend!

    First time there and they've secured another customer. Great service and answered beyond what I needed. I'll be back next week for another batch.
