    Nitro iced coffee.

    First time coming to this establishment. Drove in from the medical center just to try it out. The service was quick and fast. The cafe is nice and cozy. The coffee was made with love.

    The Honey Owl and sausage sandwich
    Sandra K.

    I know it's in the burbs but it's really a good place. Lots of close parking and a huge outdoor patio. Plenty of tables were open inside too. I got the honey owl which was spot on. However my sausage sandwich was good in that the bread was soft and the egg seasoned well but the sausage was kind of off. It was crumbly as I ate it and was significantly smaller than the bun and the egg. Service was perfect and fast and the prices were reasonable.

    Lavender latte!!!

    We love this great coffee shop, the people are amazing!! The ambience is incredible, clean, joyful and beautiful area.

    Inside, look up.

    First time visiting this Cute little place. There is a cozy, calm environment inside and a small patio area. It was a little busy so it took the staff a bit to take our order which was perfect because it gave us time to look over the menu and decide what we would order. The barista was patient, had great suggestions and answered all our questions. We ordered a watermelon cream soda, American, and a latte. My only Personal OPINION (it's my opinion, I'm entitled to it, no one has to care.) there was someone with a larger breed dog inside, I feel the outside patio should be where the dogs go while the inside is kept pet free.

    citrus mocha

    Lovely vibe with live piano, hanging chairs, quirky owl decor, and a friendly owner. So relaxing. The citrus mocha was kind of like a frozen chocolate orange! Great. We also had a house special latte, with cinnamon and nutmeg. Very holiday reminiscent, and tasty

    Cinnamon Oat Latte

    Mhmmm... was my reaction after taking the first sip of my cinnamon oat latte. The cafe was cute and cozy. I went on a Saturday, good thing I didn't intend on staying because the cafe was full.

    We were staying down the road from Java Owl and my husband has been here on previous trips. It's a cute coffee house but unfortunately, the coffee is just ok. If you want an espresso drink go for a cortado (or flat white) as anything larger and the espresso is too weak to handle all the milk. The brewed coffee is not much better..

    Java Owl has respectable hours every morning and is open until a logical time on Friday and Saturday evenings

    I was looking for a coffeehouse in the Bay Area, as Houston calls its I-45 strand of suburbs outside of the Sam Houston Tollway in the direction of Galveston. A lot of these suburbs are nice bedroom communities and, with that, I knew there would be some nice coffeehouses. In looking at listings and photos, one such coffeehouse was Java Owl. I was up for this. It seemed like an indie coffeehouse with a lot of character. It also looked like they put some time and effort into making it look appealing, both inside and out. Note that finding a coffeehouse in this area that keeps late hours is not that easy. They don't stay open that late, but do open early. From the front of the shopping center, you can see the entrance to Space Center Houston! That also means that you have to drive on that racetrack of a thoroughfare named NASA Pkwy 1. Mostly, Java Owl is about coffee, but they do have a decent selection of teas. Teas are served in a teapot, from which you pour your own cups and it's what I've come to prefer. They also have baked goods. Note that, as the day wears on, their supply of baked goods diminishes. They do not have much in the way of savory items which, in my mind, pair well with coffee or tea. It's also the reason I'm holding back from 5 stars. The pricing was appropriate. The store is clean and bright. There is a capacious section of parking in the shared lot that is close to Java Owl. The service was very polite. Even the customers are very pleasant. There is a fair bit of intellectual horsepower in these suburbs and, when you combine that with H-town's freewheeling style, warm weather, and many transplants, it's the sort of ambiance you'd expect in a nicer suburban Sunbelt area. About the suburbs, their naming can be a little strange. Big chunks of the Bay Area are still in the city of Houston, while there is a patchwork of small communities with names like Nassau Bay, El Lago, Kemah, and such. This coffeehouse is in Nassau Bay. I stopped in twice and really liked it. That said, I would readily return to Java Owl and recommend it.

    Perfect spot to get work done!! Lots of natural sunlight and tables. I ordered an iced pomberry ( a herbal tea) which they brought to me in this cute tea set up. The tea was okay, I think next time I will ask for honey or some other alternative sweetener. Other than that, I am excited to come back to this location and try out other drinks.

    This review is only really for the matcha. The place was nice and service was quick. I ordered an iced matcha latte with whole milk and no sweetener. The barista told me the matcha was already sweetened but they had an unsweetened ceremonial grade matcha as well, so that is what I ordered. It was about $6.50. It was decent, obviously not sweet, but it didn't have much flavor. It was less of a matcha latte and more like slightly matcha flavored milk.

    Beautiful Citrus latte
    Jason H.

    On my first visit on a Saturday evening, the diverse crowd struck me as beautiful when I was three steps into the door. Every age, race and gender was represented in the staff and customer base. I enjoyed a gentleman playing guitar, a young man on piano, and an aunt and nephew rendition of Stand By Me done acapella. The staff were very attentive and my Americano was excellent. The prices were fair and the atmosphere gets an A+++++++. My wife and I will be back.

    Vanilla cappuccino and honey owl with oat milk
    Dallas S.

    Let's just say customer service and coffee are top tier. Java Owl feels warm and welcoming. It was nice to enjoy a cup of coffee as if I was in my living room with a friend chatting. Great staff and fast service. Great local coffee shop!!!!

    Decaf mocha

    Excellent mocha and muffins! Cool vibe, too. It's a great spot for dessert. Enjoyed the outdoor seating.

    Hi there. I'm in town for the day and would love to come by. Do y'all have a dog friendly area for my small dog and I to come have a coffee this afternoon?

    We are dog friendly as long has the dog is friendly (and maybe not too overly friendly) :) we’d love to meet you and the pup!

    Hi, can I get a menu for the drinks and snacks that you serve at the cafe?

    Hey! Thanks for asking :) We do have our menu posted here on Yelp!… But our food generally changes daily as we get most fresh items daily and from different local bakers. We almost always carry muffins and danish (savory and sweet) and thy is… 

    Is there oat milk substitute?

    Hi Kevin! We are happy to offer oat, almond, and coconut (all unsweetened).

    Are you planning on getting soy milk?

    Not at this time... but we would never say never.

    I frequent the Clear Lake area pretty often and just discovered the & Brew Coffee off El Dorado…read more I've seen them around town but never got a chance to check them out until recently. I just got done with a lunch date nearby and needed a little pick me up to finish my errands. I'm assuming all their locations are similar in that this place is a drive thru or walk up concept. I almost drove past because the drive thru line spilled out into the road but then I saw they had two lanes moving at a pretty rapid pace. Just from what I saw, it seemed like the whole staff was young, high school kids, but they were working hard. They had multiple people walking the lines with an iPad taking orders and keeping traffic flowing. I explained it was my first time so the young lady gave a quick run down of some of their popular items and asked what flavor profiles I like. The line moved quick and I liked that they took the time to wipe down each drink before handing it over so there was no mess. Great customer service. I ended up ordering the Cookie Butter iced coffee. The flavors of this coffee included toasted marshmallow, hazelnut and white chocolate breve. I like a breve because you get a creamier drink. The flavors worked well together and I really enjoyed my drink. I typically like a more coffee forward drink, but every once in awhile I like a dessert like drink. This was that. 7 Brew is one of many like chains in the area so competition is high out here. In my opinion, this place has a slight edge over the other places in that they have a great variety of drinks and great customer service. I will most definitely be back.

    11:40am 5/9/26…read more Location was busy, but line was moving. Car in front of us had nearly every staff member come up and visit and talk, which delayed our line a bit. Finally next in line pick up our drinks, still behind the same car. Even more staff comes out to talk to the person in the car, they were given their drink, but continued to sit there holding up the line. Staff finally brings us our drinks, I asked "is this person going to move or are we going to have to go around them?" The staff said the person in the car worked there so everyone was just saying hi. They did not prompt the person in the car to move, just continued sitting there. The franchise owner should be embarrassed of their staff.

I opted for the Half Winter Moon since it was their "most popular" drink, sweetness level wise, to use as a standard. The Half Moon was nicely sweetened without overpowering the coffee itself. I would probably prefer the 1/4 Moon for a stronger coffee flavor next time. Summer moon was pretty bustling for a Saturday morning but the coffee came out fairly quickly.

There is a kid's table with kid books which my kids love sitting at. Various seating arrangements from cozy chairs, to tabletops, to bar seating, to couch seating, to outside seating and a community table top.

If you play Pokemon go then there are pokestops you can reach from here and a gym . This past nurses week in May they offered us a free cup of coffee when we presented our work badge. We greatly appreciated it especially since we share it with teachers week. We normally don't see a lot of local deals for nurses so we thank you summer moon!
