Banana mocha
Lily H.

Loved the vibe of this cafe, big fan of the dim, warm lighting. I ordered a banana mocha which had a strong banana flavor. Super yummy! Cane with a small sweet cookie on the side. Service was good and there was someone to clean up when we finished our drinks. Music was very interesting, they played eccentric beats but it was good to study to. Only complaint was that it was really crowded when I went and a lack of outlets for table seating. Also parking was very difficult to find!

Caramel macchiato & Gyro Plate
Estef O.

My siblings and I are very picky about everything but they liked it a lot! The caramel macchiato was the perfect blend of strong and sweet, I'm usually scared of one overpowering the other but there was a perfect balance! The Gyro was simple and not overwhelming at all, perfect as a light lunch. We enjoyed our visit.

Cappuccino and Peppermint Mocha
Kiran A.

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.

I appreciate this sign so much! Folks need to understand the difference between an emotional and support animal! Thank ya!

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.

Menu

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.

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!

Flat White
Jenny L.

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.

Borrowed Phone Charger
Bradley L.

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.

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!

Got Caffeine? Roast & Brew does!! Not only do they serve a variety of delish drinks, they also serve some cold beer and wine. What a fun place and lots of seats indoors and outdoors. If you are looking for a place to hang out with your loved ones, friends or just solo...come check them out! Chow Chow Time!!

Breakfast Croissant with Bacon - 4.5/5
Jay N.

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 :)

Greek Frappe
Brandon D.

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

Ye J.

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.

Thankfully, Mark was there and initially was told a 35 minute wait but seemed intent by quicker. Ambiance: 4/5 It was breakfast time so of course it was a busy time. For my visit, it was crowded but not to where you couldn't hear your table. Dress is casual, good for friends, solo, or pit stop. Service: 5/5 Our waitress was very knowledgeable and friendly. Since it was our first visit there, she gave us some background that it was a Pappa's owned restaurant and food is made from scratch. Food: 3/5 They offer mimosas and I was tempted to order, but was driving and it was 9AM so forewent that option. There are food options for every tastebud. Mark ordered the fried cheese sticks, they were one of the items that I found worthwhile to return for. I opted for the Waffle feast. It included a waffle, that I added pecans on top to, two strips of bacon, eggs your way and hash browns. To say that I needed to add salt and pepper to the eggs and hash browns because they tasted bland and flavorless was unfortunate. It also was served at room temperature, because it was made from scratch, would think it be warmer to hot. The waffle was savory and had good mix and topped with the pecans made it even better. If you're on this side of town and want a change up from the "other breakfast diners" DOT would be where I stop. Fast, friendly service. Depending the food you get, it gets the job done for some sustenance to hold you over when you're not sure when your next meal is because you'll be in Galveston for 7 hours riding a float in the Mardi Gras parade.

I wanted to start with one biscuit, but the biscuits come in pairs. The waitress said I could order just one anyway, but the order ended up being two. I meant to save the second one for breakfast, but that was not to be. It did not survive long enough to make it out the door. My actual meal was a bacon swiss and mushroom burger, which was excellent. Between the biscuits and the burger, I am forced to acknowledge that it was entirely too much food. Sadly, that did not prevent me from eating all of it anyway. Delicious! The restaurant, which is a diner with very basic decor, is on an approach road to IAH, and is open 24/7. When I arrived in the evening, the place was empty. By the time I left, there were a whole bunch of customers. I noticed in other reviews that people were saying they did not receive checks for their meal and felt they were over-charged at the register. I did not receive a check either, but the amount I was charged at the register seemed accurate -- and I was paying attention because I had read the other reviews first.

Mr. Picky ordered the Fettuccine Alfredo with shrimp while I opted for Veal Parmigiana, and we each stole a bite from the other's plate. We reached consensus immediately that both dishes were well-seasoned and quite delicious, meaning we would return for more good food in the future. Seriously, we hadn't expected much when walking in and looking around, but were pleasantly surprised at the kitchen's efforts. We finished lunch with an order of homemade bread pudding and tiramisu, the latter of which in 2012 won a chamber of commerce epicurean competition 1st place ribbon. I wasn't there to judge that competition and have had better, but sincerely appreciated the moistness of the bread pudding. While the majority of diners were older and a more mature crowd, there's a lot to be said for value, and we thought the menu price was better than reasonable and I think a lot of people will discover this as a value destination, something we all appreciate.
