    The strong scent of coffee wafting thru our window smells DELICIOUS! Drive thru only, tho little coffee hut has been here for quite some time and we're just now getting a chance to try them out. Tall decaf latte with heavy cream, no foam. First few sips- this is very robust, strong coffee taste, and HOT. For an inconspicuous small drive thru, they are fast, flavorful and worth a repeat!

    It was a cloudy cold day and I was out of creamer. MrM suggested City Brew Coffee, where he goes when heading out for work. Rachel was a lil ray of sunshine on that yucky day. Super sweet and patient as I was not awake when I went. Got MrM a Mt Morning coffee, his favorite, got the boy a hot chocolate and a white chocolate mocha for myself. $14. Not bad considering the competition up the street. I came back to get a pic of Rachel but she was gone for the day. Can't say enough about great customer service!

    I have seen this little drive through coffee shop for years and now feel stupid for not stopping sooner. Super friendly, quick service, and great variety including food items. I'm in the neighborhood 2x a day so looks like this will be my new coffee stop.

    Been coming here for years and I'm sorry to just now be writing a review. BUT they are always so fantastic. So friendly. So good! Give them a try, you won't be disappointed.

    Hot peppermint mocha and banana bread. So yummy!

    Omg City Brew has the BEST coffee on the planet and great customer service!! Great prices and the best banana bread I've had!! I only wish they would open up everywhere. I highly recommend this little coffee drive thru spot!

    Don't blink because you'll miss it, it's drive thru only! Whenever I'm in the area I try to stop by ... the service is always great and they have a variety of different options and flavors. I love supporting these independently owned shops$

    This is hands down, the best coffee in town. No burnt beans like with the big popular coffee chain. The City Brew baristas are super friendly and happy people. I absolutely recommend you giving them a try. Just for fun, I am working my way through their list of flavors; So far, nothing has been a let down. On the back of my list, I've been collecting their different vent stickers :P

    With whip cream chocolate chips and marshmallows with sprinkles on top

    Don't let the size of the place fool you, best shop in town, plenty of flavors to choose from

    I have to wake up stupid early for class and at 4am, I am barely functional enough to make my own coffee at home. Before 6am, the only coffee shops you're going to find open are Dunkin Donuts and maybe if you're lucky, a Starbucks, neither of which I consider to be decent coffee. What a gem this place is! The barista was super friendly, despite it being 5am, and the espresso was great! Also got a breakfast taco with the green sauce and I was not disappointed. Any self-proclaimed coffee snob looking for great coffee on the go (especially super early in the morning) this is your place.

    I stopped by and had a great talk with them about the variety of options they have and a couple of other choices. Very good coffee and delicious flavors for any coffee lover or enthusiast. I strongly recommend. Wether your stopping by to save money and need a wonderful cup of coffee to work, or if your about to hit the books, or if your just in the area this place is for anyone and everyone!

    IS VITALITY BOWL BETTER THAN EVERBOWL????…read more The Ambiance is cool. Very informative of ingredients. It's quiet and was clean. The Service was good too. The cashier was patient and answered our questions even the ones that were repeated for reassurance. The BOWLS.... My girlfriend got a Medium Vitality Bowl (Rating: 4/10) Base- Açaí Toppings- Granola & Honey (Complimentary), Double Banana, Pineapples, Mango and Peanut Butter She said her fruit wasn't sweet and the pineapples were frozen. The richness of the açaí was lacking. We're used to a certain caliber and standard. AND I got a Medium Vitality Bowl (Rating: 7/10) Bases- Guava and Acerola Blend, Blue Bliss Blend, and Cacao Toppings- Granola and Honey (Complimentary), Banana, Blueberry, Goji Berries, and Almond Butter The Almond Butter was stuck on the inside of the top and wasn't really in my bowl. The Guava and Acerola Blend had frozen pieces in my bowl (might not be a popular option). I could slightly taste the Guava, what I did taste I liked, but I would've like to taste more of it. Cacao flavor wasn't rich either. They also don't have as many options as EverBowl, which is our GoTo açaí bowl spot. However, for some reason they're scarce in the city of Houston. My rating...we definitely prefer EverBowl over Vitality Bowl. We wouldn't return. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND EVERBOWL for sure. Y'all won't be disappointed by the comparison. #HappyConciousHealing Y'all :)

They chose chips. Overall, it was good. I loved the chia coconut pudding bowl but the flatbread was okay; my family loved their wraps. All the ingredients were fresh and smoothies were good and refreshing. We will definitely be back but probably for takeout; it's not really a sit down place. We were the only ones that did.

The bowl was good, even better after sitting in the freezer to let the base get nice and firm. Next time I will not get granola. It seemed to be a granola bar that was crunched up. The mangos were a little tart and not firm so I won't get those again. Good substitute bowl from my normal smoothie bowl. The service was fast and my order was ready in the refrigerator when I got there.

When my sons and I walked in, we were greeted with a warm smile, which was a nice first impression. We let her know we were new to the shop and asked for a few suggestions. She seemed a bit unsure and didn't really offer much guidance, so we ended up ordering what sounded good to us. One son chose a cookies and cream smoothie, my other son ordered a chai milk tea with boba, and I went with the classic milk tea with tapioca pearls. Overall, the drinks were actually good, flavorful and refreshing, just what we needed for a warm day. The ambiance was really pretty and clean. I loved the greenery throughout the space, and the music made it feel welcoming and relaxed. Service-wise, it was just okay not bad, but not memorable either. Would I go back? Maybe. The drinks and vibe might bring us in again, but I'd love a little more enthusiasm and guidance next time

    We came in because I saw online that they were having a free smoothie day in February and came in…read moreat that time. I had called before heading out to make sure they were still doing it, and they said that they were. By the time we got there, they said that they were not doing it anymore, and they ran out of all the supplies. I even told them that I had called before leaving my house and they said that they just ran out. I would have appreciated if they would have checked how much supplies they had before telling people to come up for the smoothies. My family and I drove up there. Multiple people came in after us looking for the free item and turned around and walked away when they did not get it. However, we thought we already drove up there, so we decided to support them. I'm not trying to give a bad review because I did not receive a free smoothie. We bought smoothies for the family so the trip wasn't wasted. My son is a huge mango lover, and that's the one he got and he did not like it at all, although I did not think it was bad. It wasn't sweet and didn't taste like mango. But I digress. One of my daughters got the matcha and we literally all tried it and had to throw it away because no one in our family liked it. I got the spirulina one and I liked the color, but it's not something I would particularly go out and get. Overall, I feel like I'm being very relaxed with my review because it ended up being a nice little family outing. But the final straw for us was the bathrooms. The bathroom was not clean and I had to clean the toilet before allowing my child to use it. We saw a man and woman bringing in supplies while we were there, but it got late and we had to go. I'm not sure if they would have even honored making the free drinks at that point anyways, but at this point everyone in our family tried them and did not like it. Free drinks are not why I am disappointed, but more so that that the bathroom was not clean and it smelled weird in there and no one liked their smoothie in our family. I hope they can make it nicer and not close down because it looks like it's a nice establishment in Vintage Park, but they just have to work on cleanliness and having actually good drinks.

The website is nice and the flavor options are fun, but the flavors and textures never hit quite right for me. My most recent pick-up experience was especially disappointing. I placed an order on the website over 30 minutes ahead of my arrival so that I could pick up a smoothie and make it to work on time. I set the pick-up time to 9:10am so that it would definitely be ready by the time I arrived. When I walked in at 9:15am, the employee hadn't even started on my order yet... and ultimately, I didn't walk out of the store until **9:28** am with my smoothie, and I needed to be at work at 9:30am. The employee herself was completely polite, but didn't acknowledge the fact that the smoothie was being made late. I understand life happens, but for an order made over 30 minutes in advance on the website, the store didn't seem busy enough to justify how late my order came out. My actual smoothie's texture was just too thick and the flavor felt muted, like the fruit in it needed more ripening. I did like it more after it had sat out for an hour or two and melted a bit, but due to my overall experience, I could not justify the steep price point. I see now that reviews here are pretty mixed. I'm glad some people love this place, but it's just not for me.
