This is a cool, quaint spot off the rain in downtown Houston. I was thirsty so I stopped to get a matcha to quench my thirst and it was great. Staff were lovely and they had food but I was in a rush, so only tried a drink. I'll definitely be back to try the food and enjoy the ambiance. Peace.

We needed a pick-me up and stopped here. It was a pleasant experience. We enjoyed everything, it is slightly more expensive for the portions (I would consider them slightly on the smaller side)

This coffee shop may be one of the best in Houston. I discovered from my Houston Coffee Passport and I'm so glad I did. Staff were nice and patient while I ordered. They took time to explain what the scones and loaves were in the pastry case. I ordered the Bonito iced but honestly it would be just as tasty hot. The place was busy and pretty full so I sat outside in a nice shady spot. I will be back and can't wait to return. Happy Yelping!!

Blueberry scone

The perfect coffee shop for your matcha fix! I was craving matcha this weekend and wanted to try a new spot. While in the downtown area I spotted fifth vessel coffee and I'm sooo happy I decided to check it out! It's located downtown so naturally parking can be a pain, but I was able to find street parking not too far away. I ordered the strawberry matcha "Ichigo" and LOVED it! Perfect texture, creamy + smooth and right amount of sweetness from the strawberry portion to balance out the umami flavor. I also tried the blueberry scone (served warm) and it was delicious! The blueberries were tart + sweet and the actual dough was so soft and not overly sugary. The only shock factor was the price. The total price was $28 for two matcha + the scone which I was a little surprised by. However, I just knew for those prices, they must back it up with excellent quality (which they did lol). The ambiance of the coffee shop was quite nice as well. The large windows in the front of the store were open allowing for a nice fall breeze. This coffee shop is definitely worth checking out!

THE BEST MATCHA IN HOUSTON! Wow I mean I've tried Rocky's matcha at home but a place that uses it is crazy work! They have so many options too! The place is small yet cute and chill, could be a place to work or hang out. The service is good, can get busy and take a while but it was all worth it! I've tried over 15 matcha spots in Houston this week and this is my favorite! I highly recommend and would come back! The flavor is unique, strong, and balanced!

Cardomom matcha - 9/10 - $9.50 - Loved the cardamom flavor and creamy foam, would prefer a tad more matcha Strawberry matcha - 8/10 - $9 - Tasted like strawberry milk with matcha, would be better with strawberry puree and more matcha but still good Maple matcha - 7/10 - $9 - Vanilla foam on this was good but the sweetness overpowered the matcha flavor Fifth vessel has some of the stronger matchas ive had (rockys matcha) even though i personally would prefer a bit more Overall a good spot for matcha if youre in the area but definitely overpriced for their small cup sizes (mine was gone in like 1 sip)

hojicha latte

Stopped by Fifth Vessel since I needed to be in the area for lunch later and was able to spend a nice two hours in the space nursing a delicious hojicha latte. Wasn't able to try any of the food but the options all looked great. Highly recommend this spot for all your caffeine needs, and there are plenty of outlets if you need to work on a device while enjoying your beverage or food. Would love to come back and try the other tea drinks on the menu sometime!

Chai and iced coffee

My boyfriend and I try a new coffee shop every Saturday, and this past weekend we checked out Fifth Vessel. It's a small cafe tucked into a corner off Main Street, but right now there is a lot of noise from construction happening directly in front of it. We arrived around 8:30 in the morning and there was only one other person inside. People came and went pretty steadily but not a lot of them stayed. We had planned to hang out and play cards, but we forgot to bring them. With all the construction noise it wouldn't have been the most relaxing spot anyway. I ordered an iced chai with almond milk and I really liked it. It was sweeter than I usually prefer, probably because of the almond milk but the flavor was so good that I didn't mind. My boyfriend got an iced coffee and said it had a great taste and strong brew, just the way he likes it. Overall, this place is super cute and I would definitely come back once the construction is finished and you can actually enjoy the vibe in peace.

I desperately needed an early afternoon pick-me-up, so was happy to see that Fifth Vessel was a stone's throw away from my job. Thankfully, the barista was patient with me as I am still a newcomer to coffee drinking so had a hard time deciding on what to order: I settled for a caramel white chocolate latte and it was dessert in a cup! The inside space is quaint and cozy with lots of natural lighting so I'd love to return for a workday.

Interior
Jess F.

I've been wanting to try Fifth Vessel for a while and I'm so glad I finally did - it was delicious! The interior was beautiful as well and I ended up staying to study for a while. I got the Momo (matcha and peach) and it was amazing. I drank it in just a few minutes and wanted another drink, but I will say they were quite expensive so I refrained. There are several matcha and coffee drinks that I'm excited to try in the future though! The parking situation is a bit difficult since it's street parking only but I got lucky and got a spot around the corner. I'll definitely come back to Fiffh Vessel, and I highly recommend!

Cool lil coffee shop on the edge of downtown. I think what I ordered was called cardamom matcha. It was very cute layered drink. Now I'm not an avid coffee drinker so I could be wrong. So take my suggestion as a grain of salt lol. Maybe infuse the foam or include a spoon so the guest knows to mix it. The goodness was at the bottom. The top was just bland so first few sips were confusion until I got the bright idea to combine everything. Most definitely check them out they have all the classics and some dope curated drinks as well. I did see some cute plates coming out so food and pastries are available.

Beautiful lights inside
Mckenna S.

I highly recommend Fifth Vessel Coffee! I went today and the ambiance is so beautiful with gorgeous lights inside and a very neat kitchen. The staff were very kind as I'm from out of town so I was asking if they knew of a bus stop nearby and they went above and beyond to help me look for one. Also, they were kind to ask how sweet I would like my iced matcha.

Disclaimer: I'm on a hunt for the best cafe to work from as I'm working remote. My review is based on factors for a good place to work from and not necessarily the coffee or food. Overall great cafe for work (if you manage to get a seat) and coffee is pretty good. I came on a Friday morning 9am and crowd was light. Noise level - 60db quiet conversation Wifi speed - 94 down 184 up Power plugs - only 4 along the wall Seats - 10 indoors Parking - Paid street parking can be expensive The service was great. My flat white came within 5 minutes. I didn't get any food but there are plenty of choices. This cafe is Japanese themed and people don't usually stay for long. The owner is a cool guy and I'd definitely come back!

The best black sesame latte in Houston…read more I'm always looking for black sesame flavored drinks ever since I tried it in Seattle, so I was excited that TwoTone had it. The nuttiness of the sesame goes SOOO well with the espresso taste and it's a good creaminess too. I also like the texture of the bits of sesame seeds in the drink. The aesthetic of the cafe is modern with street-style flairs, it's a really cool space. I also love that there are Filipino flavors on the menu like ube and pandan. Most workers are super nice and say your name like they know you. They're also super attentive to ensure that everything with your order is perfect. Jonah was very welcoming and helpful, making sure we got a menu while in line! The weekdays seem to be better for wait-time, with little to no wait. The weekends however are packed and usually have lines. If you're not a line person, I would definitely come on a weekday. TwoTone is probably the best specialty coffee you can get in Houston, especially in terms of Asian flavors and creaminess. If it was closer to inner Houston, I would probably come here everyday.

The line moved fairly well since it was after 12pm. I decided to try out two drinks since I live a good distance away and I wasn't sure I'd be back anytime soon. When I ordered the employee let me know it'd be 15-20 mins. I got a chocolate croissant it was underwhelming. Not moist, chocolate to croissant ratio seemed off. I came for the speculoos and selected the jet black as well based on the reviews. I was tempted to try the jade but one of the baristas who loves both let me know it's very sweet compare to the others I was interested in. Both drinks were good. I do think the sesame is a more complex flavor especially if you like to actually taste your coffee. I would try the jade and ube drink I think it's called purple stuff; whenever I'm back on that side.

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!!!

Busy enough to expect a wait, but nothing that made me want to leave. I ordered the brisket sammich and a Texas latte. The sandwich came out hot and fresh with a good amount of meat, though it definitely wasn't smoked brisket if that's what you're expecting. The Texas latte was okay. It needed more ice for me, so I asked for extra, which helped. Also could use a touch of sweetener. I waited about 8-10 minutes for my order, and by the time my food came out, a table had opened up, so timing worked out perfectly. The space has a really nice vibe overall and feels like a good place to sit for a bit, catch up with someone, or get some work done. Overall, solid experience. Between the atmosphere and convenient location, I'd definitely venture back again.
