Top quality roasting. Friendly, knowledgeable, and humble people. They have something for all types of coffee drinkers.
Wonderful people and great coffee! The owners and staffers are always super helpful, convenient location and no cream or sugar needed for their beans! Worth every sip and penny for the drive from Montgomery County every few months.
This is my go to spot for coffee for my office and home. Melissa and Mikael are always so friendly and thoughtful whenever I come in, whether it’s for my afternoon pick me up or the large order I place for the workplace. They are very knowledgeable about every coffee that they stock and always make solid recommendations based on my preferences! I also love stopping in for their iced coffees on tap. Great prices, friendly service, an overall great small business in Houston.
Best coffee roaster in Houston. I travel there regularly to get my beans, Mexican Altura is my go-to coffee because of its low acidity. I have tried & like the Mocha Java, Peru Chanchamayo & others. Give them a try, tell them your preference & I'm sure they'll have the right roast for you.
I always have a nice visit when I make our "coffee run" here. Everyone is friendly and they know their products. There are also plenty of little side snacks that one can purchase to eat with one's coffee and a plethora of coffee makers, gadgets and cups. One can also order coffee online which is handy (during the pandemic for sure). Then there is the added bonus of how nice the coffee makes our car smell on the trip home.
Fantastic coffee, and wonderful folks. I used to get my coffee beans here when I lived in Houston. I still get my espresso beans here (via their online store) and they ship to me. It's been 6 or so years since I have been in person and it was great to stop by again. Highly, highly, highly recommend their beans to everyone!!
I bought 4 different bags of unflavored whole coffee beans. All four types had very little taste, i'm guessing their quality control is nonexistent, either they were roasted awhile back or the quality wasn't there to begin with. Some places put a roast date on their bags...not here. My wife got a few bags of flavored beans that were good. I will search elsewhere for quality coffee beans.
