Great coffee , cool environment and great service !
Good coffee but there is no relaxing place to sit like the chairs are weird and uncomfortable. Maybe just for a to go coffee will be good. The way they set the coffee shop up u cant really sit in there. And its always full.
Cute vibe and alright coffee however mood and experience was completely ruined due to VERY rude entitled lady. I believe her name was Helen. I was appalled and embarrassed in front of my friends by the way I was disrespected. I feel bad for the other friendly staff working alongside her.
Young lady at the register wouldn’t let me add raspberry syrup to my latte today… booo!!! Go to blendin
Be cautious while paying with cash. My experience paying more than a few times has not be good. It seems like most people pay with credit cards. I'm not that person who pays with credit cards. I like to pay cash. They do not have change for a $50 or a $100 bill. I assume unless you buy $30 or more of their products, they may have change. I've been there twice and exited with no coffee in hand. I crossed the street to Sunday Press coffee shop. They had change for my money. Coffee! I like to give business's more than a few visit before I post something like this online. Finally I was prepared to have a cup of coffee from Luce. I brought $10 for 1 cup of coffee that cost $5.41. They had no coin change to offer me back. So the poor cashier asked if she can keep the change. They don't have coins in register. Coin shortage? The owner or Manager looked at me as if I should just give up the change. Grabbed $10 out my hand and gave me a $5 back. Rude? I'm not sure, just didn't seem right. Coffee shops make 70% to 90% off of 1 cup of coffee. I also leave a $1 tip. Guess the crash of the dollar starts with the coins. Again careful if you go there with cash.
This is what you expect a coffee shop to be! It is excellent. The coffee is delicious and very good quality, the ambiance is great and the pastries are superb. Love this place and its now one of my favorites.
Went to drop off my dogs at the pet bar across the street and decided to try this place. I absolutely loved the coffee, if I lived near by here, this would be a go to. You can actually taste the blend of the coffee and not some watery taste. Highly recommend.
Loved the whole experience. I've been an Americano drinker since my college days so when I tried their Cream Americano to my surprise it was amazing. Not to sweet, not to creamy, it was great!
This is my go to coffee spot. The iced black island is like a modern take on Southeast Asia and the taste? Incomparable to anything in the Houston area.
When they say #1 Cold Brew, they mean it. It's a "pricey" drink, but absolutely worth what you pay for it. Other espresso drinks are also excellent here, as well as the food offerings. One of the best in Houston.
Absolutely my favorite coffee spot in Houston! My favorite is the island latte-coconut milk only.
Excellent latte. I only do sugar free syrups and I’m plant based. They had vanilla only but they had multiple plant based milks! Latte itself was delicious
I would give this place 5 stars easily if they had more seating, bigger tables, and better wifi. The tables are so small you really can’t have two people at a table comfortably with both laptops fitting. Had troubles with the WiFi. And there’s not much seating, I wish there were some tables downstairs too.
Absolutely incredibly consistent and smooth coffee! The croissants are deliciously flakey and have real SAUSAGE!! My favorite coffee shop in Houston. Highly recommend.
Good coffee but their Wifi doesn’t work for Macs and iPhones. Smh.
Loved that I had the option to choose the type of espresso used in my cortado! I chose a Kenyan roast that was perfect and bright tasting. The drip coffee was good too. Really appreciate all the effort to make a good cup of coffee
Best espresso I’ve tasted in the city so far. The drinks are super consistent so we always visit. I’ve been to each location and the drinks are perfect every time. Update: This is the Washington location
One of the best iced coffees and bursting with flavors! I always come here when I’m in Houston! My fave so far is the Luce Blossom!
I used to love this place a lot when I moved to the area, but over the last few months, it has gotten so expensive and gone downhill. While they do have a great coffee, I don’t think it’s necessarily better than other top tier coffee shops in Houston. And for the area that it’s in, it just seems odd to me why it’s $7 for a cold brew! I would understand if I’m in LA where I’m next to the beach and it’s beautiful and the sun is shining. Not on the intersection of Ella and 610 lol. I can get us the same thing at a coffee shop in the Heights for five bucks. They charge an entire dollar if you get a nondairy milk for maybe 2 oz of milk. The milk doesn’t even mix well with their coffee and looks like a big white blobs floating around. Expect to be nickeled and dimed here as they charge you almost a dollar for any additional modification to your coffee. As for food, you can get breakfast tacos, or one of their many pastries. Their pastries are good and they offer to warm them up, however, they are never warm enough. Always a warm outside and cold middle, ugh. I loved their new quiches at first, but literally only the first one I got was good. All the ones thereafter had way too much dough and I’m not about to pay $7 to eat pastry dough. Oh wait, that’s how much their almond croissants cost… To conclude, the most disappointing change that has caused me to go from a 1-2 times a week regular customer to 1-2 times a month customer is their rewards system. At the other locations, you get one point for every item you purchase. But here, food doesn’t count which doesn’t make sense considering it is also pricey. It just seems like it’s harder and harder to earn and use their rewards. The points you earn also expire after 3 months, and at this rate I’m never going to be able to use them. Another customer came in while I was there and asked to use his points because he had 14 (which can be anywhere from $80-$200 spent on previous purchases), yet when the barista checked his bal
The Pan Pacificopeia beans make delicious French Press (60g/l). I'm very excited to have discovered these beans. The name is weird and meaningless but don't be put off (too much). Beans are freshly roasted in sealed plastic bag.
