Hardly anything is open during the week but I'm sure it's booming on the weekend. Now for the matcha...they have so many different varieties I had to try too! This might be the most matcha variety I've ever seen! The first one which was a lavender nailed it but the second one the guava was one I was curious to try but probably won't ever try it again, the taste clashed to me. Awesome food options too. I was craving a croissant with ham and cheese but they have tacos and empanadas. I loved it and even ran into a friend. I'll be back!

Was in the East Downtown area so decided to stop by Xela for a morning coffee. There's a small…read moreparking area connected to the building. The menu was honestly a bit overwhelming, but the barista who took my order was very patient and asked what I normally like and made recommendations. He also mentioned all their drinks are oat milk based. I asked for a recommendation that was sweet but not too sweet and I went with his recommendation of the Stardust, which was honestly super good and had a strong espresso flavor but also had some sugar and cinnamon for sweetness. I believe my drink came out to a little over $6 with tax which is pretty standard nowadays. Super pleased with my visit and would go back if I'm ever in the area!

Cute little coffee roaster in The Heights. They have cool specialty drinks…read more Ordered: - The Orchard (A Granny Smith apple and green juice infused matcha flat white, topped with a Granny Smith apple slice. Served Iced) - I think their description of "fresh and crisp" was very accurate. I think the cinnamon complimented the matcha well. I wouldn't have thought to put apple cinnamon with matcha. It's feels like matcha meets autumn to me. It's fun I like it. - The Snapshot (A craft coffee float, with house made Esplanade coffee cola and custom black cherry ice cream from Cheaters Creamery. Served in house only and Iced.) - I was expecting something like an affogato when we ordered the drink for some reason but it definitely more of a coke float. They nailed it honestly. I didn't taste any coffee flavor in the few sips I had but my boyfriend said he was able to taste it. The drink comes with a fun Polaroid photo which is fun. Honestly a very unique retro summer vibe drink. - Breakfast Burrito - Honestly pretty decent. - Nutella Banana Bread - Unfortunately their oven was down so we couldn't get it toasted/warm but I think that would've been significantly better. It satisfied my craving. Definitely would consider coming back to try other fun seasonal drinks. In terms of seating, they have a large table in the front of the store, a few seats along the window that is more counter style, and a few tables in the back. From what I saw it looks like they had a decent amount of outlets and USB plugs available. Parking lot is pretty small though. They share a parking lot with a pottery studio and a little clothing store (that's also connected to the coffee shop). Not sure what the street parking situation is. We've come a couple times and would decide to go in or not based on the parking situation.

Enjoyed checking out New Heights Coffee Roasters in Houston! They had lots of signature matcha and…read moreespresso drinks to choose from, and an impressive selection of beans and baked goods you could buy as well. Just keep in mind that they pride themselves on their unique drinks so they don't allow any substitutions for their signature drinks because they want you to try it as is. The Keepsake was a cold brew shandy with esplanade and Valencia orange. It almost didn't taste like coffee to me since it had a strong fruity taste with a citrusy cold foam on top, which made it a sweet treat for the summer. The Chantilly was creamy and sweet --it's a cold brew with cognac cream and black lava salt. They had lots of tables indoors for seating, although it does get crowded during peak hours. They have a small parking lot or you can find parking on the surrounding streets.

Got their infamous einspanner and I was a fan! The whipped foam on top was so creamy without being heavy, and all mixed together, it was a great balance of sweet and creamy with a subtle hit of bitterness from the coffee. I totally get why they are known for this. (8.5/10) The service was also very fast and friendly. Overall, I'd definitely come back.
