La Casita Coffee

The Barista was really kind. I asked her to surprise me with what drink to get and she ask different questions to make sure she would make me something that I would like. Was a great experience and would definitely come here again.

Amazing, coffee, amazing service, and amazing people! When I go here and sip my skinny vanilla latte with almond milk not only do I taste quality crafted coffee, I smell the sweet scent of freedom as my face feels the open air unimpeded by a completely useless face diaper. The shop is spotless and feels extremely sanitized, which is important. If however, masks make you feel safe you could always order to-go so you don’t miss out on the deliciousness. Or you can drive through Starbucks where they do wear masks that they breathe on then touch all day with rubber gloves while handling you’re coffee with the same rubber gloves before handling your method of payment (again with the same rubber gloves) just like they did with the person before you for an overpriced cup of bitter coffee. You’re choice, a benefit that has been a staple of the American life for generations!

Very nice place that feels more Uptown than Suburb. Focuses on coffee more than other treats, which I appreciate greatly!

Cappuccino was delicious! Even the foam art was adorable 🥰

I absolutely love this place! The coffee is on point, and atmosphere is amazing. If you go in the fall, their pumpkin spice latte is wayyyyy better than Starbucks!

Cute spot but barista didn’t know what a cappuccino is? Then said they couldn’t make foam 🤷‍♀️ got an americano and it was ok. Pretty limited seating.

Nice little coffee gettaway nook. They have lattes. And a bottomless cup of regular coffee for $3.95. We had a cinnamon(rats-I forgot what it's called) latte. There were 2 peple there on laptops and one on his phone working away!!

Pastries hit. Coffee hit. Vibes hit. La Casita was a hit!

Once upon a time, and not that long ago, the lion's share of my weekday's working hours was spent in the cafes of Shanghai, of which there are very many. Of all the cities in China to embrace the bean, the arms (and wallets) of Shanghai have been the most open. Proof of this is found in the sheer number of small independent cafes, the collosal Starbucks roastery at the corner of Ruijin and Nanjing West Roads, and the emergence of Luckin Coffee (Apollo Creed to Starbucks' Rocky). Dunkin'Donuts was even foolhardy enough to occupy (briefly) supremely expensive real estate directly across from JingAn Temple. (China does not and never will run on Dunkin'...or Tim Hortons.)

But if what I know about coffee qua coffee would scarcely fill a teaspoon, I know a thing or two about places that make and sell it. I've published thousands of words of reviews (bars, cafes, restaurants); and since I am more flaneur than connaiseur, let me at last get to the point.

Wee, wonderful Rowlett - and the big blue marble we call home - are better places for having establishments like Modern Well. Thank you, owners and investors and staff, for MWC.

Keep your purchases local whenever possible, and eschew that thieving mermaid from Seattle as best and and often as you can. Modern Well's coffee is just fine, and their baked goods are lovely. No palm d'ors or Michelin stars are forthcoming, I wager, and I pray the owners don't expand their operations or franchise. (Ambitions of scale slay business like Raid curbstomps cockroaches.) Modern Well is fine - perfect, in fact - just as they are.

Go. Buy. Enjoy. And do so because that charming little sliver of road running between the PGB and Rowlett Road would be much, much worse were there no MWC, or were the Well to go dry.

Giv'em love. Tip appropriately.

Went to this coffee shop for the first time today, very quaint. Although the owners/employees were very sweet, not one was in a mask today March 8th. The mandate actually ends on the 10th so we felt somewhat uncomfortable wearing ours while nobody else was. I had a chai and it was very rich with milk. Just sort of disappointed that we wanted to help a local, small business and they weren’t following orders, not everyone has a vaccine yet. Like I said, they were very nice, just seemed a little irresponsible as other businesses have chosen to follow orders. Won’t go back.
