    Met a business associate for a mid-morning coffee. The espresso was perfect. Friendly staff. Also, plenty of space in the area of the coffee stand to have a semi-private conversation.

    Most Painful bean purchase evah!!!!!

    Service, service, service---------------DO NOT EVEN GO HERE- I love Boomtown (the product, the roasters, the concept) but for real, do you have to have the asssssswhole attitude to work at this location????? Have been here about 3 times and again today with friends the overwhelming attitude (yes they had a water leak? But what does that have to do with your RBF toward the customer?) And tossing coffee to a customer- just so lucky I wasn't the person at the counter. I am sad that this is ok with management. Won't be back here- Houston is CHOCK full of roasters and places to get a great cuppa without the crap you have to take from these adolescent puckers....and the quote about how hard your day is going was the icing on the cake- MGMNT PLEASE RESPOND TO THIS!?!?

    Super Delicious!!! I am definitely one of those, "just a little coffee with my cream and sugar" type chick... But I've gotten a latte, regular drip, and the Toddy Mocha!! I do not have to alter them EVER! The guys are my little bright spot each morning. Thank you to Antwon Ernesto and Josh ! Two thumbs up

    Salted Caramel Latte

    Boomtown is well staffed at peak coffee times and they have a pretty friendly team. They're open on the weekends too. Any of the drinks made with esspresso can be made decaf. At the beginning they only had paper straws but there is now an option for plastic straws. Thank goodness & sorry turtles (I know these are the makings of a bad person, but paper just doesn't do the trick). Favorites: Salted Caramel Latte Milk and Honey Latte Ice Capp

    Glad to see this Boomtown location up this week in Understory. I came by for an afternoon coffee and ordered a Toddy Mocha. The staff was extremely helpful and quick. By the time I had ordered and paid my drink was almost ready. No line while I ordered so I'm sure it'll be different in the morning but I'll definitely be back to change it up from the typical Starbucks!

    Delicious coffee now inside Understory! Had a yummy Sea Turtle latte and they were more than happy to provide water since the other places and the food hall have no tap water.

    Terrible business model

    $6.50 for a vanilla iced latte with Almondmilk. No flavor. Had the texture of blended chalk.

    THIS IS THE BEST CORTADO I'VE EVER HAD…read more Day 6 has been on my list for quite some. Upon arrival, I was met with excellent music and a warm greeting. Once I reached the counter, the gentleman helped me with selecting a coffee and even answered a few clarifying questions I had about ingredients. I got 2 cortados (I drank the first one so fast that I needed another one), a vanilla latte (sweet but balanced), and two croissants (almond and chocolate). My friends got a cheesecake latte (cupcake dominant and didn't have enough cookie butter flavoring), a white mocha hot chocolate (pretty good), and a blueberry muffin (amazingly soft, flavorful, and balanced). All together, I'll be coming back much more often!!!

    I really wanted to give this place 5 out of 5 stars, but here's my honest experience…read more The service was excellent, everyone was friendly and welcoming, so that's an easy 5/5. I also tried one of their muffins, and it was absolutely delicious. Another 5/5! The only thing that disappointed me was the coffee. I asked the barista for a recommendation and specifically mentioned that I wanted a coffee that wasn't too sweet. She recommended a drink, and I trusted her suggestion. Unfortunately, when I tried it, it was much sweeter than I was expecting. I understand recommendations are subjective, so I don't blame anyone,it just wasn't what I was looking for. Because of that, I'd give the coffee 1/5. It simply wasn't to my taste. Overall, the great service and delicious muffin were definite highlights, but the coffee experience brought my overall rating down to 3/5.

A couple of friends and I wandered in early on a Sunday for breakfast/brunch. I ordered the scrambled‑egg and turkey‑bacon tacos with a flat white, one friend had the chilaquiles (he thought they could've used a bit more flavor and some avocado), and my other friend went for the French toast with an iced coffee. We had a great conversation over a delicious meal and solid coffee, and the steady stream of adorable dogs around us was the perfect bonus. I'd read some reviews complaining about the service, but ours was totally fine--especially for an early Sunday morning. It probably helps to be patient if they're short‑staffed, but we had no issues at all.

The first day, I was overwhelmed with all…read morethe pastries they offered and spent more than I typically would at a coffee shop, but I was not mad. The avocado toast was good, they used fresh avocado. The toast was very crispy because of the type of bread but I enjoyed it. They also have yummy fresh pressed juice. I wish I would have stopped by for dinner, but did not get a chance. Next time I am in the area I will.

    Koffeteria is an absolute hidden gem located in EaDo. I just found out about it from Instagram and…read morewas shocked that I've never heard about it prior, despite it being here for years! Anyway, I finally got a chance to stop by on a Sunday late morning recently. Parking can be difficult, but there are dedicated Koffeteria spots in front of the business as well as surrounding paid curbside parking. I believe Instagram helped many others discover this business recently, as it was pretty packed and there was a line, but this gave us ample opportunity to peruse the menu and pastry display. Ultimately, we opted for the: Cambodian iced coffee (kayfe dahkoh) made with sweetened condensed milk and evaporated milk - tasted very similar but weaker than Vietnamese coffee. As I'm Viet and have never had Cambodian coffee, this was my only frame of reference, and I didn't love it. I'm excited to try more Cambodian coffees to get a better understanding of their unique flavor profile! Black sesame mochi - sweet and perfectly sesame flavored with salted yolk at the bottom, delicious, my partner's favorite pastry Beef pho kolache - the bun was so soft and complemented the soft but flavorful brisket meat. wow. truly a brisket pho in a kolache. We got extremely lucky and got a table almost immediately after ordering, as someone left just in time. The interior is full of vintage furniture, which added so much character. As a vintage lover, I felt so at home! I could see how others might prefer a more neat, chic interior, but to me this was absolutely perfect and added so much warmth, homeliness, and character to the shop. Absolutely love this coffee shop and will 100% be back to try more pastries and coffees. Immediately, this has become a new Houston favorite!
