Prelude Coffee & Tea

This is hands down my favorite coffee spot in Houston. Love the downtown atmosphere. The shop is in the 609 Main Street building. Great architecture, and plenty of places to sit and kill time. The staff are friendly and efficient. I’m not even a latte person, and LOVE the Texas Honey and Cinnamon Latte! If you like amazing coffee and great service, def give them a try. I’m addicted at this point and I’m ok with that! Lol

Love the vibes, very calming atmosphere. Visiting from chicago so I had to try the Texas Honey Cinnamon latte. Very good, I got it half sweet but really love the espresso bean flavor that come after the flavoring taste. Friendly workers!!

Great architecture! Appeasing and spotless atmosphere. I grabbed a chamomile tea it’s hard to mess up a drink like that lol, so I can’t really judge if overall the drinks are good here in general. Also had a hard time finding the coffee shop there’s no visible sign from the outside because it’s in a building.

This coffee shop is so convenient for us coffee lovers working (and almost living) at 609 main. The staff is very knowledgeable about coffee and brewing in general, so feel free to ask them questions.

I made my first visit to this newish downtown spot on Good Friday. I was told by another coffee fan on Instagram that I would enjoy their coffee, so I came with expectations. The baristas did not disappoint, at all. I started off with a Flat White (my preferred drink). It was simply delicious, nice and smooth - perfect balance between the espresso and the milk. Not really a fan of lattes, I decided to have one later that afternoon (I was hoping for oat milk), but stayed with real milk.Both drinks were very delicious, not bitter or sour...just a perfectly delicious taste of Greenway coffee roasted beans!

I so wish they were open on weekends...

The atmosphere is very high end, with a large, white marble counter and ample seating. The space itself opens up into a reception area for the building that makes the place seem very comfortable and large. The cortado had a bit too much foamed milk, which diluted the coffee a bit and left me wanting something a bit stronger. The coffee itself was pretty neutral, with some chocolatey notes. They are affiliated with Blacksmith and Morningstar if you like those places. It was a pleasant experience and I would come here again to relax and talk or work. I didn't see any outlets while I was there if that is important to your studying and working.

Amazing coffee and ambience. Tried the cortado and iced vanilla lavender latte.

Clean, modern cafe with a simple menu offering the expected espresso drinks and some twists. Offers food items, but cannot speak on behalf on those items. Slightly more expensive than Starbucks, but you can have real cups or to-go options.

Must go coffee place for downtown working people. I remember Instagram Blogger HoustonCoffeeGuide told me about this place and yes they serve better coffee than Starbucks or any other so close to work place.

Great little coffee shop on the lobby of the 609 Main building. It's on the corner closest to Halal Guys. The menu is simple, but they use quality beans from Greenway Coffee. Barista was super nice. Homemade caramel, honey, vanilla, and mocha syrups. Try the Texas Honey and Cinnamon Latte.
