They finally opened a storefront! I tried them when they were operating as a pop up shop. Very fresh and vibrant drinks. Got a small tin of their Uji Homare to make at home and boy am I so sad I’m out 😭 it’s such a beautiful green matcha and it gets...

Favorite matcha. Wow. It just tastes like the freshest matcha I could possibly find this far away from the source. The baristas were incredibly kind and give you a cute sticker when you visit. Looks like a great study spot with the private stalls. Pa...
Kohiko Coffee House
Had a matcha scone that I randomly dream of. Went around lunchtime for a tea time with a friend. Loved the assortment of sandwhiches and teas we could get. If you want a coffee break and want to try many teas, this is a great way to do that. They hav...
McHugh Tea Room & Gifts
There’s a location opening in Houston! I checked out their Livermore, CA location and had an amazing mango matcha. Can’t wait to try more!

Espresso
Wow! One of my favorite coffee shops anywhere. A great place for coffee enthusiasts. The staff is very knowledgeable about its roasts and drinks. Great pastries as well. I tried a micro roast blend in a pour over and it was so crisp and pure. Their g...
La Tazza Specialty Coffee
They have this machine that grinds matcha for every drink. It’s a very unique and rich flavor because it is so fresh. They also have so many great options for espresso and matcha based drinks. Expect a long wait but the staff are incredibly efficient...

I am a big cortado stan. Not looking for the sweetest or richest treat at a coffee shop. Love cortados because it gives me the right amount of milk while still focusing on the coffee notes. Here, I got an oat milk cortado with their vanilla syrup. It...
Cambrian Coffee
Pistachio or Qamaria Lattes are def something to check out. Their pastries are rich and great for a mid afternoon pick me up. Love sitting in a cafe and feeling the scent of roasted coffee floating around.
Qamaria Yemeni Coffee Co.
Latin American Cafe that feels so cozy to study in. Their Horchata Latte feels very Central American to me!
Campesino Coffee House - Houston, TX 77006 - Full Menu, Review, Photo
I go to bluestone lane when I want a mocha. They have a very cocoa heavy mocha that’s not as sweet as most other places. They use a smooth espresso roast that just compliments the rich mocha sauce.
Bluestone Lane Rice Village Café
Had a great chai here. Do note there are no milk alternatives. I believe most drinks use condensed milk. Don’t forget to get a treat! The waffle pastry with the honey drizzled on top was very tasty. It had a creamy cheese inside and paired well with ...
Mazajj Organic Coffee
I had a Nutella drink that was so rich and delicious. I’ll admit I am a bit of a coffee snob and usually do not go for sweeter drinks but this was a great treat! As a Covid conscious person, I also appreciated seeing staff in food service masking. Wa...
Coffee Fellows
Very homey place! So inviting and the staff is so sweet. I had the Bunna flight which were basically 3 cortados versions of their most popular Ethiopian style lattes.
Kefita Coffee
Best Cortado. If you want something straight to the point, check it out.
