Canary Coffee House

Canary is a special shop with great espresso drinks, wonderful service and incredible croissants. John is a killer barista and Joey, whom I met today, is a very personable and involved owner who has some great vision for the future of the coffee shop. I had an amazing pumpkin latte today that wasn’t too sweet with just the right amount of spice, and one of the best croissants I’ve ever had (and this is tied with ones I had in Paris). Yes they are that good. Friendly service, good parking, Mill-king milk and oat milk alternative (though no coconut). Lovely shop and I hope to be back soon next time I’m in Houston.

Honestly was a little scared to spend some money here after I saw the reviews. However, I had a great experience at the newly branded coffee shop. Last time I was here (maybe 2 years ago), it was still Inversion. The building is still set up mostly the same. The large table at the entrance was taken out and a few smaller tables replaced it.

I think the coffee shop is a 4/5 for me but with the building including the Art League Houston, this place is definitely a 5/5 star location. The art exhibits are beautiful and a perfect study break during my long mornings learning about boring differences in lab values. Art is so much cooler!

Overall, I like the setup: a long high table with lots of outlets overlooking the busy Montrose street, several small high tables on the opposite side of the room to work alone, and at least 5 smaller tables to work alone. As a place to work or study, this place is perfect. All tables seem to be close enough to an outlet. Also, the two times I've been here recently, it wasn't too busy and easy to find a seat. There's seating outside as well if that's your preference. Wifi is strong and reliable. Workers are nice and wear masks. Only complaint is that the floors could use some work (maybe even just a fresh coat of paint?) but all in all a fun, reliable study spot. Will definitely come back!

Vibe- Neat coffee shop in Montrose with the art league houston inside the building. There’s plenty of seating outside and inside making this a dope spot to study, work, or just catch up with friends over some coffee and bites to eat by Shakkar , a local croissanterie.

Customer service- Great! The gentleman that helped me was kind and helpful with me making my choice for a drink.

Food/drinks- I got a hot matcha latte with oat milk.

Parking- There’s plenty of spots in the lot to park.

Amazing, rich, medium roast coffee.. make sure you get a bite from the croissant specially the almond one.. the best way to start your day is from here.. Calvin was providing great customer service 👍😎👍

This is my favorite stop for croissants. My daily cortado is always hot and delicious. The staff is super friendly and remembers my preferences. The environment is also quiet and work friendly

The last time I was here was pre-pandemic and it went by a different name. The location and decor are very similar if not the same, but the coffee seemed better this time around. It is a very chill vibe and usually pretty quiet. they randomly turned up the music at one point a little before I left. There is a parking lot but it is usually pretty full.

they have a really good pastries and the croissants is excellent but unfortunately the coffee has a sour taste which is I don't like hope they change the coffee source.

Great coffee and BEST croissants in houston. They get them from a local bakery Shakkar! Baristas are such a vibe as well

A definite go to location for coffee. Always love coming here. They do need more food options though.

The croissant and coffee was DELICIOUS. Only negative was the worker in the back (making the food) had the door open and had his phone blasting with music. Kind of took over the calming vibe and music playing. I move to the booth and faced the street and it was very nice. I'd return for the croissants anytime.
