The vibe is lively but cozy, the coffee was amazing, and the staff was genuinely warm and welcoming. The tacos? SO good. I was personally heartbroken (okay, mildly devastated) that they sold out of the barbacoa so early in the morning -- which honestly just tells you how good it must be. I'll definitely be back to get my hands on one next time. In the meantime, the chorizo and egg breakfast taco absolutely delivered. The flour tortilla tasted fresh and authentic, soft with just the right chew. And the lemon cake? A total sleeper hit -- bright, moist, and the perfect sweet bite to finish everything

I've been here a few times some mornings and evening. It's my go-to spot when I want to be…read moreproductive and enjoy the vibe. There is plenty of seating indoor and outdoor, which is great because this spot is quite popular. They have two small lots but also plenty of street parking. There's WiFi and outlets throughout, however sometimes the WiFi gets too crowded so it takes a while to connect. Be mindful that you can work anywhere except for the bar. The service is great, they text you when your order is ready and they even say your name in a singsong way lol. I like that they have a new seasonal flavor to try each time I come. I usually get a chai or matcha with whatever the new flavor is. They have ice cold water as well. I typically make my own breakfast tacos when I come here and they're always pretty good. LOVE their fries! It's funny that some of the people that work there will remember you by your order. When I bring others, they enjoy the food. My friend had the patty melt which she said was great.

They had so many drinks to choose from and some food. I liked the variety of things they had to offer and I think I even saw a window for people sitting outside to order at. I only tried a couple of drinks. The first one I tried was the matcha average mule and I guess if you like Moscow mules you would enjoy this. I didn't really find the matcha flavor strong or there at all. It had a lot of the lime flavor more than anything else. The other drink I tried was the pretty in pina which is basically a pina colada. That drink was my favorite amongst the two. It tasted like your classic pina colada. Service was also great I didn't have any issues.

One thing about me, I'm a sucker for board games and a good time. And I can guarantee you will find…read moreboth at Coral Sword. I usually come here to play with friends, but they also host game events. They have an extensive collection of games, ranging from childhood classics to complicated games that have you trying to figure the instructions out for an hour (good thing there isn't a time limit). There is a $5 fee to access the games, but it will be waived if you buy a drink/snack instead, which is a win for me even if I lost every game that day. There is plenty of seating for how seemingly small the cafe is. Parking can be difficult on busy days, but the neighborhood behind the building has street parking. Definitely give Coral Sword a visit if you haven't already. But beware, 4 hours will pass in a blink of an eye.

I first learned about this spot through my sister, as she and her boyfriend are huge board game…read moreenthusiasts. Whenever they invite me here, it is hard to say no. It is such a cozy and welcoming café, and I always enjoy spending a few hours getting immersed in different board games. The concept alone makes this place a fun and unique destination. That being said, while I love the atmosphere and experience, I do not think the drinks are particularly impressive. In fact, I would consider them below average compared to other cafés in the area. The iced matcha latte tasted noticeably low quality, and the hibiscus tea was reminiscent of feet. The only drink I have consistently enjoyed has been the iced chai latte, which was flavorful and well balanced. The food, however, is a different story. I have generally had much better experiences with the food than with the beverages, making it a better option if you are looking for something to snack on while playing games. If your main goal is to enjoy the board game selection and spend time with friends, I would recommend ordering food rather than coming specifically for the drinks. Overall, this place shines because of its atmosphere, board game collection, and the experience it offers. While the beverages leave something to be desired, the fun environment and solid food options keep me coming back.

Supposedly this is the sister restaurant to Brother's Taco House in Eado. It is a much different…read moreatmosphere. When I showed up before noon, I was only one of two customers. The place is cozy in size similar to Andy's Home Cafe and there is a bar for solo diners to eat at. When you walk in, the first thing you notice is a steam table that serves a lunch special with multiple options. It is not manned all the time because customers may want to order from the menu instead. The prices here are cheap, even less than Frank's or Telwink nearby. My catfish and eggs were $11.99 and it was only $1.50 to add an extra egg. The catfish may have been swai though given how mild it was, but the portions were comparable to the diner competitors. You also have to season the eggs and grits yourself like at other diners. As I was eating, customers started strolling in for lunch. The bad thing about the place is the steep entrance and exit to the parking lot. If you have a low car like mine, you'll definite scrape the bottom no matter what angle you take. So I don't think I will ever return despite the food value here.

Been to lots of Teahouse locations in the Houston area. Ordered my favorite #1 Teahouse Cream Tea as usual (half mini boba and half regular boba, 50% sweet, less ice), and decided to try the Squid Balls. This one is unique for downsizing their boba and richness of their famous cream tea. On the screen above the cashier, the ad for the Squid Balls is double the amount than what they actually give the customers. Literally there were eight small pieces and that's it. If this was my first time to Teahouse, then I would say the Cream Tea is pretty good, but since I have been having this same drink for decades, it is obvious this location's is a bit watered down. It lacks its usual richness. Nope, not returning to this location. Giving it 3 stars only because of the Teahouse brand and the cashier was quick. The drink and food came out in less than 5 minutes.

If you're looking for bank help they have reps in there ready to assist or answer questions, and they have an ATM available inside. My favorite item is the Honey Lavender Latte, I order that every time. You can get it hot or iced. They also have a nice selection of teas for the non-coffee drinkers. There is ample space to sit and relax, whether you want to enjoy food and drinks or need a space to read or work. There are board games on the tables like checkers, chess, and dominoes. We played checkers while we waited on our order. The staff is really nice and attentive, they work hard to make sure you are taken care of. The cafe is in the Gulfgate area so they have plenty of parking, and are pretty conveniently located. Drinks are about the price of other coffee shops($5-$10), but using the capital one card brings them down to a great value once you factor in the 50%. I want to visit again to try some of their lunch items, but so far we are 2/2 on a great experience when visiting.

I'm not sure if this was more of a function of changing locations or the chain improving their recipes overall over time. Anyway, this Daboba location is spacious with 6 booth tables + 2 standalone tables + a couple of outlets + free wifi. You can conveniently order either at the kiosk or cashier. My go-to order is the cheese milk tea (black milk tea with cheese foam on top) and black pearls (boba). I find this to taste perfectly sweet and decadent. I'm excited to try other drink options, including their honey golden pearl milk tea, vanilla coffee frappuccino, and Vietnamese egg coffee.
