Visiting from Dallas & a barista myself. This place is a well balance of everything you’d seek in a coffee shop. Got me wanting a location in Dallas 😳 I got their limited seasonal drink, which is the S’mores Latte. On point. Sweetness ✔️ Coffee ✔️ Consistency ✔️ Acidity ✔️ Froth ✔️ ALL BUENO! Bunch of seating areas— outside, inside and upstairs! Oh also, even small pill/hub type areas! A lot of plants which I love and a bar area as well. Perfect place to come in with your gadget and gears.

We went in at around 7 in the evening on a Friday. It wasn't very crowded, but it's a huge establishment so even if it was crowded, it wouldn't feel congested. The great reviews reflect it's ability to serve as a pleasant hangout spot. We didn't try the coffee unfortunately, but it seems to be good. We ordered the Texas Keeper no. 1 cider but we were sorely disappointed with it. It takes more like white wine/champagne instead of cider. We also ordered their Butterfly lemonade which was not bad. They offer food options too, we ordered their house made fries which were quite good. They were fresh, crunchy and came with a delicious garlic sauce. When we asked for more of the garlic sauce, they provided it at no extra charge, (although they informed us that it is chargeable as it is made in house). The staff is polite. The ambience is the winner here. They've created an open space with several indoor plants and wooden elements. It's a great co-working place where they have several small nooks you can sit in. They also have seating available outdoors. It's perfect for people looking for a chill place to work from/hang out at.

I love coming here. It’s perfect for all day studying, a quick coffee pick up, a coffee/lunch date or cocktails/a drink. There are numerous options for food and drink. The seating is an eclectic. The space is large. The crowd is diverse. Most importantly the food and drinks are tasty and come with good service. I’ve sat both inside and outside and both are easy to get your order from. The place is also always clean which is essential. The issue I see is they don’t have enough parking for the demand. Many have to park on the side streets within a few blocks. It’s also always packed which is great for business but not for finding a seat. It’s always worked out for me, but looking can be stressful especially if you come in a group of 3 or more and if you need outlets. I will keep coming back though time after time because it meets my need. I love this place. so happy I found it.

Love this coffee shop in EaDo. Great place to go read or study. Modern decorations and lots of plants. They got teas, lemonades and a variety of sandwiches and light food. Indoor seating and outdoor picnic tables. Parking is available but it might be full, there's street parking all around.

Great coffee shop. Wonderful space for people to meet together or just work/study on their own. Coffees are delicious. Food was really good.

remember coming here about an year ago and had a disappointing visit. it was loud, people were drinking shots in the afternoon on a wednesday, and it just way too crowded for my liking. at that time, I got london fog tea and fries which was delicious. this time around, I got toasted pb & j with bananas, and iced caramel latte with soy milk. the food was yummy, and i still like how they have a lot of food and coffee choices to choose from. reasonable prices. friendly and cheerful staffs. the iced caramel latte was a bit bitter but it was actually not too bad when i sipped and gulped without breathing. parking can be a bit challenging since this spot is so popular, despite them having a spacious parking lot and street parking. and this time, thankfully i was able to get a spot to sit down and get my work done. their wifi is pretty solid. the background music is loud but with your AirPods in, it’s bearable. but I think they could lower it a bit, considering most people here are trying to get their work done. Overall i like the location and would come back here again.

Speechless..the latte ☕️ ❤️the cheese danish. Worth the drive from Hitchcock. Def a return customer. Loved everything. Had our coffee outside and it was perfect setting for the yummy experience

Excellent service, awesome bartenders — clean space that’s great for working with a laptop! “Fa Lynn In Love” & Espressotini to die for. Great turkey avocado club

I enjoy this place a lot. It is very spacious and has plenty of seating options. You can park in the lot in either side or along the street. The atmosphere is nice and the foliage adds a nice touch. As a vegan they do have some options as far as food goes and the coffee can always be modified. For someone in school this is a place you can study comfortably and have outlets to charge you devices. The only negative I will give is the music, sometimes it is wayyyyy to loud and the bass is too much. Sometimes it feels more like a party than a place to vibe and work. I say this because I wear my beats and still hear and feel the bass. Other than that I would recommend this place.

Beautiful amazing place! The staff are so friendly and make you feel like family when you walk in. Definitely love the recommendation from the staff for the breakfast tacos, definitely coming back to have more. Literally can’t stop thinking about the chorizo breakfast taco!!!! 10/10

Cute place! I really liked the atmosphere! It's obviously too hot to work outside, so it was a bit crowded inside. I would suggest getting there before 10am to find a table and parking. My food was just okay, but my friend ordered the gyro, and that looked amazing!

This is a must try. Everything I got was delicious. Tacos have an authentic taste. Coffe was delicious and the whole vibe of the place is nice. Not much seating available when I went so I was bummed about that but not a big deal. Sat at the bar. Everyone was super friendly. Restrooms were clean. Parking was also a bit limited . I definitely recommend the breakfast tacos. They were I'm in my opinion the best I've ever had. The oat Danish was good as well. Will definitely come back . Outdoor seating also available

Awesome building with lots of nooks to hang out in. Can be a bit loud at times, but great place to work or study if you find a spot. An added perk is that the food and coffee is also great. We got a flat white and capuchino and both were done perfectly which is not the easiest thing to find across coffee shops. Also tried the breakfast croissant and no complaints. It tasted great and was cooked fresh unlike the pre made microwaved food you sometimes encounter at other places. Look forward to coming back and trying more and more of the menu.

Love the atmosphere here. The staff makes you feel so welcomed & greet you with energy and a smile! They have great coffee options, food , light bites, and even alcoholic cocktails ! Great place to sit and get some work done if you don’t mind a little music in the background. This is my second visit and I’ll definitely be back! I wish they were open late!

Excellent place to socialize or study. They have nice little nooks for individuals and large tables for groups! Very inviting interior with a lot of fun seating options. Coffee itself is decent enough. I certainly think there are better places, but it is still very good. Food seems delicious, although we did not order any ourselves. Overall, very worth checking out! Love coming here to study or hang out!

This place is amazing. It's no wonder they're busy all the time. I love the work meets play atmosphere here with all of the plants and the variety of seating! The espresso is great, but if you're looking for something that's not coffee, I recommend the Taro Latte.

I love to study here and it’s one of the few cafés where the food is actually edible and really good. The barista’s are always so sweet, especially Sabrina! I literally come back every week just for the conversation :)

Brass Tacks is a must visit place in Houston! The staff is friendly and very knowledgeable. We were able to enjoy some great espresso, chai lattes, and breakfast tacos. The environment is welcoming and inviting. Many can work on their laptops or conduct very relaxed meetings. Parking is a breeze with on street, and parking lot spaces available. Do yourself a favor, visit this place soon! You will not be disappointed.

Great spot to get stuff done, or to study! It gets very packed very easily—but when you are able to find a spot it is worth it. There is a very “industrial” vibe to the atmosphere that makes it feel deliberate when getting work done here. Extensive menu with food. Large selection of coffee, teas, and non caffeinated drinks, and appetizers.

Craft mocha latte…perfection! Possibly the best chocolate chip cookies I’ve ever had! Brass tacks sets the coffee bar of the Richter scale!

Brass Tacks has a bit of everything. Great place to work or study. The food is delicious. The plants around the place are gorgeous and healthy (as well as for sale if you like them). Lots of menu options. Bathrooms are clean. And the employees are extremely sweet. I’ve been here at least 20 times over the last year. I definitely recommend their gyros and lattes. The nitro cold brew is pretty good too!

Every time I stop by for a bite and some coffee I fall more in love with the place. The service is amazing, the food is always so fresh and tasty. If you're stopping by for a breakfast bite, get the hammich, it's so good! I like taking my pup with me and hanging out in their outdoor sitting area. They have a variety of seating patterns, like if you're going by yourself or one other person they have seats for that, or if you're going with a group of friends they have larger tables. I really keep coming back because of the coffee but also because the staff is always so nice and helpful!

Wow! I've lived in this area for about 4 years and whenever I google coffee near me this place has never ever popped up. Today was my lucky day and possibly yours if you're looking for an amazing place to get your morning cup. The entire staff was great and all although I didn't grab a bite the food looked like it would be amazing. The ambiance is hands down the best in Downtown Houston. I don't play with my coffee and this is absolutely my new fave!

The atmosphere is top tier. It is an experience like no other. Whether you want to hang out for happy hour, order coffee, tea, food, or study, there's a place for you. This establishment is so evenly thought out and comfortable for the entire community. This is a new favorite for me. I was in Houston for the Thanksgiving holiday and needed to get some work done. This venue was perfect. The food was great, and the layout is well thought out and aesthetically pleasing, which made it easy to get my work done. The music was appropriate, and the volume was perfect. The plants were so fresh and authentic. I will visit this cafe in the future.

Great atmosphere for hanging out with plenty of seating. They have extensive food and drink options as well. It is a popular spot, so indoor seating might be hard to find. Lots of people bring their laptops and have whole setups for long periods of time. The fries were well seasoned, and the matcha was rich. But it was pretty grainy.

Incredible snacks and drinks. Incredibly helpful and friendly staff. But it was so insanely crowded that I couldn't enjoy the really lovely vibe of the place itself. Every single seat was filled except at the bar (in the middle of a Thursday). I think it has to do with the proximity to U of H and finals coming up but it was the only aspect of my experience that I really didn't like. Completely not the fault of the business but it is a big deterrent for me as far as returning. That and the fact that the parking is pretty limited as it is but with it being so crowded, I had to park a few blocks away along and apartment complex and walk to the cafe. If I could predict when it would be less busy I'd go only then and I'd change my rating to a 5. I'll definitely give it another try next time I'm in that area and if my experience with the crowdedness improves and it turns out I just picked a randomly awful moment then I'll definitely change my review.

The perfect space to social or study while admiring plants! Love this place for plants , coffee and chill vibes. This place does get packed but great if you want to arrive early to get a study table otherwise the one person seating is accessible
