There are many regulars that we see and speak to every week. That's how you know people like a place and feel welcome... they keep coming back. Crystal (the owner/manager) is kind and wonderful. She is on top of things and I've seen her do every job from computer work to straightening up to helping cook in the back. She seems to be the type of person who is willing to do whatever needs to be done. She also seems to have a great relationship with her staff and that's also very important. Manuel is very friendly and helpful. He's knowledgeable about their menu and always remembers what our friend likes to drink when she forgets what it's called. I love the openness and space. There's a couch and chairs in the back if you feel like lounging, plenty of tables in the front for eating, working, or just sitting at. There are games that people can play although sometimes children get ahold of them and pieces go missing. There is also a little kids play area which is golden when you have a toddler. I love that I can sit and have my food/coffee and also keep an eye on my little guy while he plays. It's a wonderful place to meet with people or to just take your kids when you need to sit down with a cup of coffee while they play. They have a good variety of drinks on top of the seasonal offerings. The food is good, and I kind of love that a lot of it is made in a waffle iron. It makes me want more waffle shaped food. The grilled cheese is made with sourdough bread and cooked in a waffle iron. It has these little crispy bits that are heavenly. One of my favorites is the sausage egg and cheese biscuit with a side of gravy. It's also prepared in a waffle maker and has those little crispy bits on the edges. So so good! So yourself a favor and give it a try.

Seeing the fireworks last night we had gotten directions on a good place to park and view from the owners of this place. And this morning, we had the opportunity to sample the coffee and the pastries. Highly recommended. I opted for a drip and an Americano in Oder to taste test two of the lighter roasts. Check out the extensive menu. And beignets to order. I met the owner. 35 years roasting experience. CIA/Escoffier trained.

The menu is very easy to see. I wasn't sure what to order so the barista tweaked the horchata latte so it wouldn't be too sweet. I appreciate that she listened to my preferences and recommended the changes to the drink, she made an absolutely delicious coffee! Had a strong coffee flavor without being too bitter/strong. I wish I would have tried their coffee sooner. 10/10 would recommend to anyone and everyone!

Family style service and quality. The sandwiches were large and well stuffed with shredded pork and sliced ham. I would have liked a little more salami, mustard, and pickles, but that didn't change the deliciousness of the sandwich. $9 for a great sandwich and the atmosphere is well worth it. Treat yourself, come by and enjoy one of their dishes. I plan on coming back to try several more dishes that caught my eye on the menu.

I love how open it is inside. It's not cramped with tables or seating and I appreciate that they have different seating options depending on your need or preference.

I went on my lunch break, not a fan of drinks door dashed:/ When I tell you the service was great in the drive-thru and when I got my drink. This is what I am talking about!!!!! The graham cracker on top and the foam was thick and light. I think I'm in love! I can't have this all the time like I would Want, but this will be my go to from now on! It is a little pricey due to having to pay for an alternative milk. However, the drink was rich and not watered down in comparison to the other coffee shops. I am a fan and now repeat customer!

There were a ton of options to choose from. I have no self control when it comes to snacks so I ordered a little bit of everything. I got donut holes, boudin kolache and a cinnamon roll. I would say that the donut holes were my favorite of all the things I ate. I think they would have been much better if they were a little warmed up. The boudin kolache was good as well. The cinnamon roll I wasn't too much of a fan of. But I give this place a 5 star for being such a friendly small town donut shop.

Ah, Java Owl -- a welcome little refuge in the strip-mall sprawl and chain-coffee sameness of Clear…read moreLake. The kind of place you stumble into expecting caffeine and leave with a small, irrational faith in humanity restored. People like to say Montrose is where Houston keeps its cool, its weird, its pulse. Maybe. But Java Owl makes a strong case that Clear Lake has been hiding a little strange magic of its own. It is bright, clean, odd in the best possible way, and alive with the feeling that something interesting might happen before you finish your cup. Now, the important part: the coffee. I judge a place by the black cup. No sugar, no milk, no whipped cream masquerading as personality. Just coffee, exposed and unprotected. Java Owl passes that test. The roast has character. It tastes like someone cared. It does not taste like the sad, scorched sludge you get from places that treat coffee beans like evidence to be burned. And if you want something more elaborate, they have that too. The specialty drinks rotate, mutate, and show up with a kind of reckless creativity that works more often than it has any right to. Every visit seems to bring some new concoction, some fresh little act of caffeinated imagination. Late nights at the Owl are their own species of entertainment. Beer, wine, conversation, and the grand old human circus of people watching. Someone might break into "Sweet Caroline." Someone else might decide the room needs a guitar solo. You do not so much sit there as get folded into the scene. It is noisy, warm, occasionally ridiculous, and never dull. Somehow, the place manages to be both energetic and peaceful, which should be impossible and yet is not. Good coffee, good people, a little music, a little chaos, and staff who seem genuinely happy to be there. The positivity is not the forced kind. It is not laminated corporate cheer. It is real enough that you can walk in tired and walk out a little lighter. So yes, go. Go to see and be seen, sure. But more than that, go because places like this matter. Java Owl is coffee, community, weirdness, and warmth in a town that could use more of all four.

I live in the Clear Lake area but will be working in League City this week, so I specifically wanted to find a nice coffee shop to patron or even hang out in for the next several days. The space was nice with more than enough bored games to keep any group of friends busy. There was no line, and no reason to be rushed. But the barista that took my order was immediately angry and took the stress level to a 10 for seemingly no reason. I ordered an Americano. She looked at me like I was an idiot and asked several questions including milk. I said I'd like some milk and some room in the cup and she berated me with many more questions that I couldn't understand. Pretty much yelling in my face for no reason. The manager/owner was right there watching it. The barista had dark hair, dyed red with a dark short sleeved shirt. She pretty much owned the place over everyone. I stood there with her talking down to me for several minutes. And that is why I won't go back. Also, I ordered a "medium Americano" and it came back after 5-10 minuktes in a cup barely larger than a dixie cup. And it was completely burned. It tasted awful. I write a bad review maybe every 3-4 years. And this was easily the worst coffee shop experience of my life. It actually ruined my morning. And that is why I am taking the time out of my day to write this.
