I wanted to try the savory crêpes for lunch. I saw the good reviews. There's plenty of free parking. You order through a window. There is no indoor seating. I ordered the smoked salmon crêpe. It was a bit salty. $12 is a bit steep. They have plenty of electrical outlets for electronics. The young man who waited on me was very friendly. Food is brought to the table. It looks like they have heating lamps for the winter. Water fountains provide a soothing sound. They were playing different types of music that ranged from bachata to Prince and Michael Jackson. There were flies when I was eating. I don't know if that's normal for the place or just a bad day. Perhaps I should try a coffee next time and I'll like it more than my crêpe.

They have a cool outdoor place with tables, ensure social distancing, cute latte art, def order a latte or cappuccino 😊
I tried the fresh brew coffee as well but the blonde roast has a little sour note on it.. which is not my preference... but the experience overall is nice and quiet.

Tons of seating with options of inside and out, tables, booths, and bars. They welcome laptop warriors too.
Their coffee is ligit too. We didn't try the grapes but we likely will when we come back.
Their was a vegan item on the menu ttoo

It's a beautiful location. I didn't particularly like the green tea latte it was too sweet for me. The savory crepe also didn't taste anything special.
The folks that come here are such nice people. Mostly dog lovers.
The service was wonderful and I was thankful to have such a beautiful place to read and enjoy the sunshine on such a beautiful day.
I'd say come and enjoy the people and beautiful location.

This place is great! Located in one of the first gas stations in Houston - the vibe is sweet. Baristas a super friendly and the coffee is at a solid third wave level. They use a great local roaster. Also have a good amount of alternative milk options. If you like good coffee this is one of the top spots in Houston. They also offer walking, biking and student discounts... but in the end it’s the coffee that matters and they care... which is worth it!

The service was zero. From taking the order to how long it took to get ready. The Order came out horrible. They got my order all mixed up. Had to walk up to them twice about not getting my orders right. At a point I just left the food. Total waste of $38.

Good cafe with great outdoor seating. The outdoor patio is where people are studying/working. Ordered coffee and sweet bun which came out good.

Great place for a casual meeting. Plenty of seating in the back. Very cozy. Good service.
Nice variety of breakfast options, pastries and Barista type Coffee. The coffee was 4.9 out of 5 for me.
I have a high standard for coffee.
Regardless, I will be coming back. I really enjoyed.

New to the area. Wife and I rode our OneWheels to Whole Foods. Coming back towards Museum
District we spotted this coffee bar. Perfect opportunity to top off the battery for our boards. It’s sort of a modified shipping container converted for kitchen with an enclosed tent on the back with lots of sitting area. I had a cortado coffee (it was perfect), while wife tried their Chai. For snack, we both had danishes. She had a cheese and spinach savory one. Mine was a sweet one with chopped pecans on it. Absolutely scrumptious!!!! I think they usually serve beer but when we asked they told us they weren’t serving beer anymore. Not sure if that’s a permanent change. Great place for coffee and a snack!
