Cute and rustic. I have been hearing about Agora for a while and I finally landed here! This place…read moreis 2 story's and full of character. There is indoor and outdoor seating. This place was definitely at some point a home. But you know Houston and it's no zoning so a coffee shop. Any rate. They service lots of tasty looking pastries. I resisted because it was late but I will be back to try them. They also sell Agora branded trinkets. I ordered a cappuccino with oat milk. Um it was made to perfection. Now they didn't have any stevia so womp womp but they have regular sugar. I think they offer wifi because there were lots of folks in there with their laptops. There's no dedicated parking but street parking.

The vanilla latte was good. Little sweet but good…read more The freddo cappuccino was bad. Didn't even finish it. The foam is too much and you don't get any coffee until you drink more than half of it. Taste could use some sweetness. Didn't mix well. Relaxing place with a lot of seating feels very college vibe.

Badolina Cafe has been the only thing keeping me going for the past 4 years…read more The Standouts: - Pistachio Basque Cheesecake: It is ridiculously creamy with that perfect "burnt" top, and the pistachio flavor is rich and nutty. - Pistachio Croissant: The lamination is top-tier, and the filling is generous without being cloying. 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 visited this location twice. I can't remember what I ordered on my first visit, but on my…read moresecond visit I tried the Cookies N Dream Latte and the Upside Down Latte. Both were delicious, and the service was great. The only downside is the parking. The lot is pretty small, and since the shop is located in a residential neighborhood finding a parking spot can be a little difficult. Regardless it's still worth the stop and if not this location then I'd definitely recommend trying another location. The ambiance is really nice. There are a few chairs and tables available if you want to study, sit and enjoy your drink, or wait for your order. There's also some standing room available. The inside of this location isn't super spacious, but it doesn't feel crowded or uncomfortable. Overall, I enjoyed both visits and would most definitely go back for another visit.

Leven Bakery was originally a stop for me to pick up a Too Good To Go order, but I ended up…read morediscovering so much more than just baked goods. In addition to the bakery items, they also had a nice selection of drinks and menu items available. I tried the strawberry matcha, and it was good. One thing to note is that it wasn't sweetened, but if you prefer a sweeter drink, you may want to ask for sweetener or add your own. For baked goods, I got the turmeric lemon tea cake, cowboy cookies, and oaty peanut butter chocolate chip cookies. Everything was delicious, and I loved being able to try such a variety of flavors. Another huge plus is that all of their bakery items are gluten-free, making it a great option for those with dietary restrictions without sacrificing taste or quality.

I need to update my review because they now have cows milk, whole cow milk. They are busier now…read morethan before and I am stoked seeing this place booming. I take my kids here and still love their cookies but now I am into their cowboy cookies more. I still like their oatmeal a lot. They expanded their menu for actual meals that I believe are celiac friendly.

Whenever I'm hungry and lazy to look for street parking in Montrose, I like to stop by Common Bond…read more They have their own designated parking lot which usually has a good number of available spots. There are plenty of seats both inside and outside. Their staff is also very nice and patient, especially with an indecisive customer like me who takes a second to decide if I want a pastry or not. This time around, I ordered the tomato & burrata sandwich with a side of grits. This sandwich is my favorite item on the menu (besides the pistachio croissant). All the flavors work so well together and it's a pretty big portion so you can bring home leftovers. The grits were also delicious. I like this Common Bond location!

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. The new Lalaland Cafe across the street makes parking a challenge here. Beware that you might have a hard time finding a spot. Once you get inside, it's easy from there.

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.
