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.

Barista also recommended adding an extra espresso shot to make the coffee stronger. There's a nutty taste but not pistachio flavor. Overall it's still a good coffee but I wouldn't order it again.

This spot is inside an HEB so I was a little worried when I first pulled up to the HEB parking lot. It's a stand that was very clean and well kept right near the entrances. I was met with a friendly cashier/barista (there was only one person working). She answered my questions and also quickly made our drinks once ordered. I went with my usual black island which I adore. The pandan coconut flavors with an espresso kick go very well together in my opinion. I think their coffee in general is great and not overly acidic so I get the taste of coffee and kick of caffiene all in a flavorful drink! Definitely an ideal location for yours truly and a great stop for coffee if you're showing guests various establishments Houston has to offer!

The restroom was in excellent condition and has a korean toilet with a seat warmer and bidet. The ONLY thing is that it was a bit slow of service but for the quality of service I dont mind at all. But worth mentioning if you are in a hurry. If i lived in the area i would come here weekly! 10/10 recommend.

These are the drinks I have tried: Lychee Mango Tea, Premium Cana Oolong Milk Tea, Oreo Cake Cream Matcha Milk Tea, and Taro Milk Tea. As for the food, I have tried: Kimchi Fries, Squid Balls (spicy), Popcorn Chicken (garlic parm), Spicy Ramen, Takoyaki. Everything is good but the best drinks gotta be the Oolong Milk Tea and the Lychee Mango Tea, and the best food I always get is the Kimchi Fries. The interior is really nice and cozy. They have a lot of plants and they are real! The only problem about this place is that they're a bit too far and really deep in the Clear Lake area, they're right next to Go Shabu Hotpot. You should give them a try when you're in the area!

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.

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 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.

Hahaha. But worth it! Especially visiting this time of year is magically because of the Christmas tree decor and most importantly the roasted chestnut latte is my favorite! Both amazing iced and hot! 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. Want to hold a work meeting, or book meet up, or a mommy and me coffee dates, to girl gift exchange,....whatever the reason for the special gathering there is a private room in the back you can reserve. 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!

The latte wasn't too sweet yet still had a pleasant guava aftertaste, and the alfajores were the perfect treat to go alongside my coffee. I'll definitely be back!

I've had the viet iced coffee, viet iced latte, and the ube coffee. All of them have been the perfect ratio of bitterness of the viet coffee balanced by the sweet condensed milk. The ube one was a little bit too sweet for my liking, but the flavor was excellent, I love a good cold foam on my coffee. My only concern is that the drinks are pricey, but to be honest, what coffee shop/cafe isn't these days. Appreciate the ambiance, but it can be busy at times or too loud to get work done. Have brought friends here who have also really liked the suggestion. Service has always been quick for me. This cafe will continue to be a staple my last year in the city!
