Prelude Coffee & Tea

More of a coffee/tea bar with some seating, drinks were good but nothing special.

R&B slow jamz with a Jasmin pearl cup of tea and my lap top or book. This place is great for intimate business meetings they have plugs under every table and you're welcome to use the lounging area right next to the coffee shop as well. Will definitely be returning.

Great place to open your laptop for couple of hours and have a meeting if needed

If you like Blacksmith Coffee then you will like this place. And if you are not aware of Blacksmith, this is a great local roaster that takes great pride in helping coffee shops that use their beans deliver great coffee.

I personally like the Scrimshaw espresso blend so I always like the espresso-based drinks.

Lastly, the ambiance of this place is awesome - it's very open and the street-level views are great, being down in the main Street area.

Worst coffee I’ve ever had … sowwy :(

My favorite downtown oasis. Great coffee (from the Greenway Coffee folks!) and great places to enjoy it in the building's lobby "living room" areas adjacent to the café. No one bothers you, and all the minimalist interior design is pure eye candy.

Amazing coffee spot with interesting architecture. Check out the reflection pool in the lobby. Highly recommend the flat white.

Best flat white I’ve had in Houston!

I liked the coffee, it was well extracted. I highly recommend this place if your are next to the downtown.

Come for drinks, not food. Great coffee, but a limited variety overall.

Prelude is one of my favorite spots in H-Town. Overall, you can impress the snot out of anyone you take here.
