Strong WiFi. Parking is sparse but people move in and out quickly on a Saturday morning, so you're able to get lucky! Tried this place post Pilates because of the reviews and the coffee is great. I also loved that it's large from inside with plenty of seating so I can see myself coming back and working from here. Solid coffee shop in the heights that I can't wait to visit again. read more

Roast & Brew - Cappuccino and Peppermint Mocha - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Houston, Texas

Quite the cute and comfy place! I ordered both the pistachio baklava and the chai latte with oat milk. I was slightly disappointed with the baklava, it wasn't bad by any means but it lacked the sweetness and stickiness I've come to expect from arguably one of the tastiest pastries of all time. The pistachio flavor very much overpowered the baklava aspects of the dish, so I could see it being less of an issue with other flavors. The chai latte on the other hand was quite delectable, it had just the right amount of spice and the flavor was both rich and consistent through the entire drink. I was also really impressed by the presentation, both the drink and the dishware brought much joy to my soul. Will definitely be coming back here! read more

Overall such a cute place, and it was open pretty late at night. We arrived at the place around 10 pm at night and it was one of the only restaurants that were open. Service was fast and ordered at the counter. I ordered the kebabs and it was quite a bit of food I was able to get 2 meals out of it. It was pretty tasty an exactly what I wanted at the time. Seating is around 30 ish people inside with various booths and tables. They have a small lot for parking around the restaurant. I will say, probably around peak times, parking would probably be extremely tight. There was protein, rice and grilled veges so I felt like it was a super balanced meal. Super tasty and would recommend. They also have sandwich's and coffee served at night as well. read more

Roast & Brew - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Houston, Texas

I placed a takeout order here, and while the ordering process itself was smooth, the in-person pickup experience was disappointing. The woman at the register (brown, shoulder-length hair) came across as dismissive. I greeted her, and her first response was, "Can you please wait?" despite there being no one else in line. After that, she took my payment with no further interaction. Additionally, I was surprised to see that hot food was packaged in Styrofoam containers. Most coffee shops have moved toward recyclable or paper-based packaging to reduce environmental impact and limit exposure to harmful materials, so this was unexpected and off-putting. Overall, the food was average and not worth the drive or the lack of customer service. With so many other coffee shop options in the area, I won't be ordering from here again. read more

Staff was polite and service quick. The coffee was decent but not something I would be eager to come back for, I got a Carmel macchiato and maybe there was not enough syrup or mixed throughly so it lacked flavor, the seating inside was ample with a cozy vibe and not too loud. Good for focusing and getting work done! read more

I ordered the small vanilla cappuccino. The price was almost or about $5 or so, I was expecting less but a did read a news article about the price of coffee increasing. I was looking to try something different and would pass this place frequently. Decided to stop and order. Cashier was not really helpful as I was new, I guess I could have asked for a suggestion. Quick service though on a Tuesday morning. read more

Roast & Brew - I appreciate this sign so much! Folks need to understand the difference between an emotional and support animal! Thank ya! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Houston, Texas

The Heights is home to a number of cafes, but few offer the kind of space that Roast & Brew has to offer. While the coffee is was what I came for, the abundance of chairs and solid access to WiFi and outlets is what got me to stay. Plus the notion of a European style cafe *and* coffeehouse was the appeal. On an average day, it's a hub for young professionals and remote workers rocking some kind of beverage and/or snack. The natural lighting is a nice touch, but I also appreciate the use of shades when it's too bright. There are many outlets along the u-shaped cushioned seats near the front windows. It's really just a matter of a snagging a spot since it's so popular here. House music tends to be the choice here, which might be a slight deterrent for taking calls. Just the sheer amount of people (#1) don't make it completely ideal for a coffee meeting / date, but lounging is also encouraged. The hibiscus tea ($4.70) and my nitro cold brew ($5.25) were both refreshing in their own way. The latter had a nice aftertaste and felt strong enough to sip versus guzzle. They also offer champagne, premium wines, and a good amount of craft beers, both locally and internationally. There is an all day breakfast available, which includes a customized omelette ($9.49), breakfast sandwiches ($9.95), and a breakfast plate that includes hash brown patties, sourdough bread and eggs. The rest of the menu has a Middle Eastern flair to it, which includes kebabs ($17), gyros ($15.45), along with falafel salads and sandwiches. I thought their cheeseburger ($13.75) looked so tasty and I would definitely consider trying their pasta options ($14-15). Service was the highlight for me, since they were engaging, friendly, and were generous with the samples. Only issue was that they weren't the quickest with bussing tables, which forces a lot of patrons to wipe down the spots themselves. When they did buss the tables, I noticed no microfiber or any cleaning solution. Lastly, parking is substantial with a dedicated lot, but for a full house, most of the parking will be across the street. Be careful when crossing the road. __________ (#1) And people watching. read more

Found this coffee shop through google and it's so cute this is my second day in a row being here. I wanted a coffee shop with work space, WiFi, accessible plugs, no loud music and actual food options and this has EVERYTHING! The omelette I had yesterday was so good I went to buy all the ingredients to make my own at home, but you know how sometimes you do it yourself and it's not as good? I didn't want to risk it. So. I'm back The young ladies making the coffee are sweet and helpful. Coffee you get at the counter. Food they bring to you. There is a breakfast and lunch menu with FOOD FOOD on it. Not just pastries. They have beer and wine options as well. I love it here! read more

This coffee shop was lovely for studying! The ambiance was great, with a majority of the customers working, having a coffee meeting, or studying, so it felt like a very productive atmosphere. A nice spot if you need a meal + need to get some work done. Lots of outlets along the edges of the restaurant. The coffee (flat white) was excellent as well and came with a shortbread cookie! Got fries as a little snack, and would probably pass on them next time. Just a bit limp and didn't have the iconic crisp fry texture to them. read more

Roast & Brew - Flat White - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Houston, Texas

Roast & Brew is such a cute neighborhood gem in the Heights. I stopped in while waiting for my tires to get fixed down the street and was pleasantly surprised by the vibe. Plenty of people were hanging out, working, and enjoying a laid-back morning. I ordered an iced flat white and the traditional breakfast. The eggs over medium were perfect. My only gripe? The hash browns. They were chopped up like home fries, and honestly, can we as a society just agree to follow Waffle House's lead and standardize shredded hash browns as the gold standard? Let's unify, people. That said, everything tasted great. And bonus points to the team at the counter who were kind enough to loan me a phone charger after mine died mid-bike ride. You can bike here from Midtown almost entirely on trails, with just a few small detours due to construction. Super convenient. Also worth noting: they had some unique food in the chilled case like feta pie and rice pudding. Definitely not your average café snack situation. I'm looking forward to coming back and exploring more of their menu. Great spot for locals, cyclists, or anyone looking for good coffee, good vibes, and a solid breakfast. read more

I tried this place for the first time and was thoroughly impressed. The interior is beautiful and quaint, with a bold decor style that was absolutely my vibe. There were plenty of seating options, both booths and tables. Ordering was easy and the service was great. I love how the pastry display was clearly visible and how fast our drink orders were made. I ordered the croissant breakfast sandwich and was blown away. The croissant was flaky and buttery and the fillings of sausage and egg, among others, were complementary. The caramel macchiato with almond mild was also just the right amount of sweetness. I am so glad to add this wonderful breakfast spot to my go-to list! read more

Cold day in the city and was craving a hot breakfast and warm coffee. This place really exceeded my expectations. I ordered an omelette (cheese, onions, and sausage) and a hot caramel macchiato. I must say i really enjoyed it! It came out in a decent amount of time too. It was a week day and around lunch time and the inside was pretty full as well as the parking lot and street parking. I can definitely see this place being packed to the brim on weekends! So glad I stopped by and and I will definitely be back! read more

This spot is such a lovely spot, we went on a Sunday and it was basically packed, very small parking lot. The restaurant was quite loud & loads of people for breakfast / day drinking / just work and vibes, overall we thoroughly enjoyed the experience. I got the Breakfast Croissant with Bacon (4.5/5) & it was delicious, portion was great. My boyfriend got the Avocado Toast & said it was delicious too. My boyfriend complimented how the potato (included with my breakfast croissant) was cooked very nicely too. You self served knife, spoon, napkin, sauces, minor things like that. The servers will come around to refill your water whenever they can :) read more

Roast & Brew - Breakfast Croissant with Bacon - 4.5/5 - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Houston, Texas

Pause before ordering from here on Uber eats. They show a photo of the breakfast plate with bacon. I ordered and it came with no bacon, cold eggs and potatos (yes it was uber eats but it was here in 10 mins, no reason for food to be cold). I called about the bacon since this is the best part of course, and they mentioned it doesn't actually come with any bacon and the photo is deceiving. No offer for refund. I ended up throwing away the whole meal and getting a refund on uber eats. The reviews did me wrong this time on this business. read more

Met up with some friends to study here on a weekend. This place is Greek owned. They have a bunch of small tables along the walls with some decent sized ones in the middle. I decided to get the Greek frappe. Maybe I should've chosen a safer pick because I did not enjoy this drink at all. The coffee was very bitter and the foam was very thick and did not mix with it at all. Individually they both were not that good to me. Maybe this is not my taste but I did not have fun trying to finish this. Parking is also very small and you have to park across the street if the lot fills up. The only thing good about this place is that they're open until midnight read more

Roast & Brew - Greek Frappe - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Houston, Texas

I have been a regular since Roast & Brew opened. It's great to have a casual and hip coffee shop with plenty of indoor and outdoor space, that offers great coffee, food, alcohol and opens late. I'm a fan of the Greek frappe for a hot day, or a plain latte or flat white for some warmth. With plenty of pastries, breakfast and lunch options, you can really spend hours here and no need to relocate to somewhere else. It does get pretty busy, and people tend to post there for a while so tables could be limited. read more

Roast and Brew is definitely an underrated spot in the heights. It's a huge working from home spot during the week so keep that in mind, many people are camped out there and there are a ton of outlets, but with the amount of people there it can be hard to find one. I love their omelette plate with potatoes. The potatoes are so crispy but soft on the inside in the best way. Their lattes are always solid as well. I don't enjoy their smoothies as much as they are a little too sweet for my liking, but I'm probably in the minority! read more

On a day off from school, my friends and I decided to try this place to study for finals. The decorations and the different seating options made the place feel more welcoming and homey. There were tons of smaller tables near ports along the sides which were really convenient and perfect for studying or working. However, the drink I ordered was a little disappointing. The matcha had good reviews so I wanted to try. The matcha color and ratio was good but it was not smooth. The matcha was still clumpy and made the texture a little chunky and grainy. I also asked for it to be sweetened with vanilla but I couldn't taste it at all. 4/10 read more

I go here two to three times a week great coffee food is good plus good to work work study from

I was here studying. I hadn't order yet because I had a big meal. I had planned to order a drink later after studying. The lady approached another white male and asked him if he needed anything. I heard him say no, not yet. That caught my attention. Then she proceeded to me and said "Hi, you have to order something if you want to keep this table." I did not hear here tell the white male anything of that nature. I always order and it is not that good. Last time the hot chocolate did a number on me. I ordered chicken they gave me beef instead, then the chicken was dry. Being cordial to one and racists to the other is not good. I don't think that I will be back. It's not the policy its the way that it was handled. That's unacceptable. read more

Such a cool place with an incredibly knowledgeable and friendly staff. The matcha latte and fries were delicious and the cafe itself was a total vibe.

After getting a haircut and grabbing lunch, I was looking for a spot to do some work in the area. Roast & Brew was in the area so I made my way over on a weekday afternoon. While they have a decent-sized lot, all of the spots were taken. It seems like Roast & Brew is a popular spot! I ended up parking across the street for free so no biggie. Ambiance (4/5): Like most coffee shops, there are plenty of places to sit including chairs and tables vs. sofas. There are outlets so you can plug in your devices. They have free WiFi. They have chill music playing. It's a good spot to get some work done or study. Service (4/5): Not a big part of the experience as you place your order at the counter and they call your name when it's ready. Food (N/A): I had lunch prior so I didn't dabble. They do have various pastries, desserts, and some heartier hot items (Mediterranean fare) though. Drinks (4/5): I'm not a coffee drinker so I'm probably not the greatest judge of the selection here. I tend to gravitate toward tea, juices, and smoothies at coffee shops. They don't have an incredible selection in this area. I went with a sparkling water. I would have liked to see more on the iced tea/juices side of things that are made in house. If you're looking for a cool place to study or get some work done, Roast & Brew makes for a fine selection. read more

Very cute cafe to grab some food and good coffee and matcha in the heights! There was lots of people here working during the day, so it was not loud, good background music and prices for food was good! I would recommend this spot if you're looking do some work or catch up with a friend. read more

I tried the "Greek Frappe" and found it lacking in flavor; it felt quite watered down. When the cashier asked if I wanted it sweetened, I thought it would enhance the taste, but sadly, after the first sip, it didn't really meet my expectations. Perhaps they could explore adjusting the ingredients or the preparation method to improve the taste experience. I ordered TWO pistachio baklavas, but I only received one. When I mentioned this, I said it was okay and would pay for another one. Instead of apologizing for the mistake, she responded, "I thought you only said one," while rudely ringing me up and arguing with another customer about her error. She should maybe take the time to listen to her customers instead of trying to talk over them. This will be my first and last time here. read more

Roast & Brew - Greek Frappe - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Houston, Texas

Met with a friend last week as an alternative to Starbucks. Very cozy space with a good amount of seating despite the busy atmosphere. The volume wasn't too bad, and is a good place to work. The space modern and clean and there's also small pieces of furniture in addition to the standard table and chairs. I had a chai latte and my friend had a flat white; both came out quickly and the quality was great. The pricing is fair and the menu is expansive. The parking lot is small but there's street parking. Hopefully I'll be able to try the food the next time I'm in the area. read more

Roast & Brew - Breakfast Croissant - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Houston, Texas

I enjoyed a tasty s'mores latte here on a busing Saturday afternoon. The latte itself was tasty and came with a complimentary biscuit, which was a thoughtful touch. The inside of the store is decorated beautifully with antique travel posters, and service was fantastic. They also have a nice covered outdoor area which makes this good for groups. Some of my friends orders a breakfast sandwich plate with potatoes and salad which smelled great and was delicious while being at a good price point. The parking lot itself is small but there is ample street parking nearby. Overall, I'd recommend this place to anyone in the area looking for a pick me up, or even for those with a larger group coming from further away. read more

Update y'all!!! Extra! Extra! Read all about it!!! Biggest thing I look for in places is consistency, but I do feel this place has gone down hill a bit from the food to the service... Came here late on a mid-week to catch up on some work and ordered a flatbread with Caesar salad and a drink...hubs ordered coffee...I ordered the Freddie Cappuccino (GREEK-style iced coffee) and it usually comes in this "milkshake" style glass with a straw but today they served it in a mason jar and it just wasn't the same. Refer to their website and you'll see what it should be served in... Their flatbread tastes barely warm, a blanket of already cooled down cheese, and overall the food did not taste fresh. It's as if the flatbread was sitting out and brought out barely warmed...not crispy and not really tasty at all... I used to love coming here because they were open late and near my apartment at the time, but it doesn't seem worth the drive anymore. Also, service and having sense enough to not clear your table while you're still sitting there and enjoying your drink...one of the staff members who was bussing the tables was trying to see if my San Pellegrino was empty and in the middle of working I had to look up and tell her I wasn't finished yet with it...it was disruptive and I also felt rushed...especially in the evening when you're trying to focus on work and enjoy your time there...wasn't a fan... read more

I was under the impression that the beans were roasted in-house, but instead they are actually supplied by Geva Coffee. I ordered the nitro cold brew. Had a hint of sourness and freezer burn taste, but was still drinkable. Regardless, it gave me the much desired caffeine I was looking for. Interior space was welcoming, with lots of seating and real plants. Nice place to sit and socialize. The service was ok. Nothing good but nothing bad. Just kids behind a counter making coffee (I must be old when I refer to working young adults as kids). An ok stop for coffee and social area, but not for those seeking third wave movement. read more

This place has ALL the coffee shop vibes. It's a wet and miserable rainy Sunday (following about a week of wet and miserable rainy days) and we're looking for a hot cuppa Joe to warm us up after a lunch out. Tiny parking lot- and it's full even with the deluge of rainfall mid-afternoon. The moment you walk in, you know you're in the right place: indie vibes, international touristy feel. Tattoos piercings and laptops reign next to the "God save the Bean" graffiti. We're currently sitting in low slung back chairs with a tropical plant literally above and between us. TONS of space to sit and work, magazines to flip thru, and easy soft modern music. Ordered the usual: flat white decaf with heavy cream. On first sip, it's a fair bit more foamy than I'd prefer. Yet the coffee is strong and the cup is hot (almost a little too hot) Great place. You can tell it's in the right spot and I'm sure the locals are all about it on the regular.

Lots of space inside with couches and tables and there's a small outdoor patio! I've been here during a slow day and a busy day and there's always been enough space. They have a good sized menu! I've been twice and I've only gotten coffee and breakfast/pastries here. I always get an iced vanilla latte. Not the best I've ever had but always hits the spot! You order at the counter and they give you a number and will bring your food to you. Always had nice interactions with the employees. They give you a good amount of food. Ordered a breakfast bagel that had a side of Potatoes which were delish and I liked that it came with a salad too. They are also Greek influenced and have stuff like baklava!! Which was tasty. Really the only downside to this place is the parking! There's a small lot attached but if that's full then you gotta park on the street somewhere. read more

Great place for early breakfast with some parking and most patrons must live in the neighborhood. Pluses 1. Big menu and omelet was great with gyro, best crunchy breakfast potatoes in Houston 2. Big inside area and also outdoor patio Areas to improve 1. Music was a little weird elevator music with a loud beat I was trying to find a place outside that didn't play the music 2. Our coffees were just okay, will try some alternatives in the future my chai latte was very sugary and the oat foam wasn't there and he was less impressed with his cappuccino Highly recommended for breakfast and I'll be back for lunch or dinner, I bet their fries are really good. read more

My friends and I had one of the most uncomfortable experiences we've ever had at a coffee shop. The three of us came in to study and catch up, we each ordered matcha lattes and breakfast plates, which is more than reasonable for a casual café visit. We settled in, chatted quietly, and worked on our laptops. About 30 minutes in, an employee approached us and implied we needed to order more food or we'd have to leave. Three people. Three meals. Three drinks. That's a decent bill and more than what most tables had in front of them. There were no signs about a minimum order or time limit. We weren't loud, we weren't taking up a huge space, and the café wasn't even full. We felt targeted and embarrassed, like we were being treated as a burden rather than paying customers. Instead of creating a welcoming, community vibe which coffee shops should be known for the staff AND THE OWNER made it clear that their priority was squeezing more money out of us rather than treating us with respect. We ended up cutting our visit short and leaving. None of us will be returning, and we'll be letting others know what kind of treatment they can expect here. read more
