    El Lago Coffee and an Expresso
    Melissa C.

    Little run down old home with a bunch of junk in it; nothing really worth viewing. A very very nice couple manage the shop; the man roasts the coffee beans from all over the world and sells them by the pound. Bought me an Expresso and 1 lb of Pirates Stash 100% Tanzanian Peaberry Go buy a cup of Joe and some coffee from them BUY LOCAL SUPPORT LOCAL

    El Lago Coffee and Antiques exemplifies old Seabrook. This funky antique shop is in an old, 1-story, Seabrook house. Each wood-floored room is packed with all sorts of treasures: NASA memorabilia, art, china, jewelry and more. They also have an extensive collection of S.J. Stout art--in fact, he was there when I was visiting!! They have a backyard with outdoor seating and more stuff for sale. It's really cozy and if your'e lucky you get a visit from Skipper the dog, the El Lago Coffee Mascot. Now on to the coffee... I've always bought El Lago Coffee Co. at my local Arlan's. Their coffee is great and it is ecologically conscious. And they roast it here, themselves. Proceeds from their coffee go towards buying a sailboat to transport their coffee from the source (usually central america) to the U.S. They also use this boat to deliver donated humanitarian and educational supplies to kiddos Central America! (the original El Lago Coffee Co sailboat sank during hurricane Olga in 2008.) The coffee shop part of the house is cozy and inviting. When i was there, the locals were chatting about the current Seabrook buzz. They offer the standard fare: drip coffee, cappucino, lattes, and tea. No cold brew...but i will be putting this bug in their ear soon! They also have scones, cake, and biscotti. I will definitely become a regular at this place. They are open from 10-5:30 Tuesday-Sunday. Closed on Monday. Check it out, and buy local!

    Skipper living the good life!

    What a cool spot! I will be visiting Seabrook more often just so I can come back to this place! We got the bottomless cup for $4. . uhmuhgash this was a special treat. While we worked on killing our first huge mug of coffee laying out in wooden lounge chairs in the back yard area, the owner was hauling fresh cooked beans out of the roaster to cool and we were downwind! YUM. Turns out, that was the batch of what we had been drinking ("Skipper's roast" or some such, named after their adorably chubby resident doggie) and our second cup was fresh brewed, just ground, barely finished roasting coffee. Whoa. It didn't need the little minimoo creamer I put it in, I wish I had left it black. The owners are super nice and quick with a sample and the store was fun to get lost in for a minute. I agree with Camia, very Austin-y vibe.

    El Lago Coffee & Antiques was our fist stop to start off 2015. This being our first trip, we didn't realize that they opened at 10 and arrived at about 9:45 but the owners were more than welcoming. The antique shop is entrancing- we spent an hour looking through the 4 rooms without evening noticing and of course ended up walking out with a couple of rare finds. The coffee was amazing! Our first cup was Red Cloud which was bold and strong (just what we needed to get going on New Year's Day). While we marveled over our fist cup, the owner shared his story of how he began and what his plans are for the future. After a tour of the grounds and a sneak peak at what is to come for El Lago Coffee Co, we tried the Boat Roast. We were not disappointed with this roast either! So we ended up walking out with some coffee too! It was too cold to spend much time outside, but I would imagine that with a little sunshine and some music, the outdoor seating would be the perfect setting to relax. I can't wait to go back! I think Monsoon is next to try.

    Enjoying the beautiful day!

    Coffee was great! Place smells a little old and musky. Loved that we were greeted by their very friendly pet doggie. It's a unique little quaint antique coffee shop in Kemah. Overall experience was cool. People were sweet and very chilled.

    New soft and sweet friend that greeted and bided adieu to me

    What a great shop with really cool things for sale. Very friendly staff. Worth the drive from the…read morebeaten path to visit.

    We were on our way to dinner in San Leon when I saw this beautiful building with a sign that said…read more"RESALE". This is one word that gets my attention every single time! We decided to stop on our way out if they were still open, and as our luck would have it they were! We went inside and noticed they have a combination of used and new items ( Mostly used, but they had some gorgeous windchimes, fishing and crabbing supplies that were new). They were having a sale, $5 a bag up to 8 items in each. It excluded a couple tag colors, but I was still able to find some nice blouses for my mom, cheap! I was super impressed with the quality of what I bought. Mostly name brand, in "like new" condition. They had a great assortment of clothes, sized, selection. They also had lots of books and knick knacks. The prices (of items that weren't on sale) for clothes reflected the name brands so some were a little higher than what I would expect to pay for used clothing, but still less than I've seen at Goodwill stores. I asked if the proceeds from sales benefited some sort of charity. The lady was very kind and told me about the many ways the money is used. I'll list some that I can remember... They have parenting classes to teach new parents to be good parents, and the new parents earn "baby bucks" for taking the classes that they can use to buy clothes or diapers. Another lady took us upstairs to see where the classes are held, it was very nice! They also have a medical clinic two times a month. She said they have two doctors and a nurse practitioner volunteer their time. They had an office and rooms upstairs that were actual medical exam rooms! Phenomenal! They also had a free GED class and food pantry, but I don't remember the details about those. I was just very impressed with the amount of services they are able to provide with the resources from a resale shop! Oh I'm sure they also get donations from the community churches and other sources but they are obviously good stewards of what is given to them. Even though we don't live anywhere near this area or have a personal need for services they offer, we will make sure to visit when we are down that way to look for some bargains. We found about $15 worth of items to buy and I was glad to hand over my money knowing I had gotten a good deal and the money was going to be well used! OH One final bonus, because my husband is over 55 he received a 25% Seniors Discount (which thrilled us both but not in the same sense of "thrilled"). The seniors discount, I believe, is every day. I would highly recommend you stop by and check it out, maybe score you some bargains too!
