It's very cozy inside, with lots of tables and chairs upstairs and downstairs. We tried the hot chai (added shots of expresso) and the iced matcha. I wasn't the biggest fan of my matcha so I'd try a coffee based drink next time. Price was decent and baristas were nice. Limited parking as it's on the busier side of Westheimer in Montrose.

I asked a question and the girl responded to me without turning around or making eye contact - gave me the impression she was annoyed that I was asking a question. There were only two baristas working on a Saturday morning so perhaps they were stressed because it was busy. Coffee was delicious and served with a small chocolate mint. They also serve beer. Variety of pastries. Small parking lot that fills up quickly! There was a line of people outside waiting to get in a few minutes before they opened. They don't open until 9 am which is late for a coffee shop. Highly recommend if you're looking for a cute destination for a casual date or out with a friend.

Pro-Tips for the Budget-Conscious: - If you time your visit between 4:00 PM and 5:00 PM, all pastries are 50% off. It's easily the best deal in the neighborhood and the perfect excuse to clear out the display case. - Student Discount: Don't forget to flash your ID! They offer a student discount, which makes this a prime "study treat" spot. The Vibe: Seating is quite limited indoors, so don't bank on a large group table. However, they have a small outdoor patio that is lovely when the weather is behaving. It's a great spot to people-watch while you get your sugar fix. Friendly staff, aesthetic treats, and a massive discount if you play your cards right. I'll be back (probably tomorrow at 4:01 PM?).

I've been here a few times now ever since I tried La La Land in Dallas for the first time and can't…read moreget enough of it! We've been placing pickup orders on their app every time we visit because they are always so busy here. Whenever I've stopped by, the line has consistently been anywhere from 5-15 people with around the same number waiting for their orders. We LOVE the La La latte with espresso which is our go to order. We also tried the banana cloud latte, strawberry matcha latte, and s'mores latte but the La La latte has consistently been our favorite. It has a creamy, sweet, delicious taste and is a pleasure in the morning! I like that you can also customize it (add cinnamon, change the ice level, adjust the sweetness). A second favorite was probably the s'mores- the taste of the chocolate and graham crackers came through, though the latte was on the heavier side. Whenever we have placed orders for pickup they are always ready when we arrive. I love the look of the drink as well as the bright, happy yellow design of the shop! Usually I've walked in and seen my order name and picked it up so I haven't interacted much with the staff. A downside of this location is the parking - there are only a few spots around the building, otherwise you have to park inside the neighborhood. One time I visited, there was no parking until the next intersection so it was quite the walk! We will continue to order from here and eventually might try a few more items from their menu, though our go-to right now is definitely the La La latte!

They also clearly label gluten-free items, and there's a nice assortment of snacks available to order as well. Parking was easy thanks to a large parking lot, and the space was clean and calm overall. Definitely a comfortable spot to hang out.. we'd happily come back.

There is some nearby free street parking but depending on the time and day, a spot can be challenging to find Space: I don't find the design of the space particularly inspiring or interesting. That's ok because the pastry counter steals the show and draws your attention when you enter . They have a small patio with some tables plus a good number of 4 top tables inside. That being said, I've found it challenging to get a seat before, so prefer to get things to go Selection: There are warm lunch options but I've yet to try those. They do have an extensive coffee selection, baked breads, and of course a lot of pastries (from scones to macarons) While not my top bakery in town, they're consistent and solid.

I stopped in today for a latte but ended up with a Dubai chocolate crepe. It was not overpowered with chocolate, perfect in my opinion. The chocolate ratio was great, even my dad didn't complain. The vanilla ice cream compliments it well. I also had the tiramisu latte, delicious! It's only a hint of the dessert itself, not too sweet. It might be my new favorite drink here.

I recently moved to Houston so saw this and thought to check them out. By not asking if ive been here before they messed up. 1st, no one told me the food comes with a complimentary banana. Not on the menu. No signs. Nothing. I'm allergic. They had to remake my food which is a waste for them too and embarrassing for me. 2. Comes with toast. Great. Amazing. Thanks. Again. Not asked what bread I wanted, did I want jam and butter. 3. No water given. No water stations. No jugs. Nothing. 4. Dirty tables not cleaned quickly. If they did the simple things right id give them 5 out of 5. The food is excellent. Ill be back and next time ill specifically say please no banana and please sourdough toast.
