this is a cashless business. the service was great (coffee shop edition of great.. ya know chill, informative.. but never performative lol) i ordered a snickerdoodle latte and avocado toast. my latte was killer!! avocado toast is avocado toast- it's great if you love it . it was pretty busy when i stopped in, and it was pouring down rain. there is a lot of seating and that ideal for people if they want to bring a device and get cozy. would def recommend and will be back for another latte soon!! bonné appétit c. read more

A favorite coffee stop in Houston. Great beans for purchase as well as food options. Whether you're coming to work on the tucked back patio or you're here for a quick treat, Siphon is worth making the trip. read more

Their empanadas are sooo yummy and I loved the chai latte. The chai they make in house is amazing.

I decided to try Siphon to lock in for my midterm. Because it was a Tuesday evening, I was able to find parking and a place to sit, but I can imagine that space can get tight on busier days. Service was fast, and I enjoyed their kiosk option. I ordered an iced Cereal Milk latte, with oat milk and half decaf, since (1) it was 5 pm, and (2) I'm a bit sensitive to caffeine and didn't want to keep myself awake at midnight... my drink was decent, and I loved the creamy consistency of it. The iced Cereal Milk latte wasn't sweet, so I added some Splenda sweetener, which is wild to do as someone who doesn't have much of a sweet tooth! However, I'm fine with the subtle sweetness since adding sugar is easier than taking away sugar. The taste of coffee was subtle, but granted, this is because I ordered half decaf; also, there was not much of a cereal milk flavor, and it tasted like your average iced latte, so nothing too special, truthfully. However, Siphon is still a lovely cafe near my place, so I would return! read more

Absolutely love this cafe. I've come here a few times and their coffee is consistently delicious. I've have not yet tried the actual food but I've grabbed some pastries that are great. Staff is always friendly! There is a good amount of of seating inside and outside. There's good wifi and enough quietness to study or work from there, but also chill enough to just have a good hang out with others. They have a few items like chess on the piano near the restroom. Parking can be tricky as the lot fills up quick but there's usually street parking available. Will absolutely come back! read more

I genuinely enjoyed this place so much. I got the snickerdoodle latte and it was so buss. My friend got the chai latte and it was so good, if you don't like coffee then I definitely recommend that!

Don't know why I've never been here, but it might be my new favorite place to study or grab coffee! My friend and I had some modules to finish for our licensure renewal and wanted to find a cool place to do them. After a little search, we decided on this place! Parking is good because it has a lot. We came at the perfect time because it wasn't too packed yet. But after we actually sat down, people started to pour in! I got the snickerdoodle latte and kolaches and my friend got a regular latte! Service was super good and they were very friendly! The lattes were good, not too sweet and the kolaches were cute too! I really like the vibe of the coffee shop and the bustling energy is good for working on things. Definitely will be coming back here! read more

I've been wanting to check this place out for a while. Finally made it in and ordered their signature siphon coffee and a taco with bacon and chorizo. Let's talk food: The taco was good. Generous portion but for $5 (plus $1.75 extra for bacon and chorizo), it felt a bit steep. Same with the coffee. The siphon was $11 a cup. That's $22 total for just me. A bit pricey for what it was. Taste-wise? Not bad. Nothing mind blowing, but solid. The siphon prep was cool to watch, but I probably wouldn't order it again. Same with the tacos. Now the space itself? Beautiful. Great ambience, lots of people hanging out, and definitely a good vibe overall. My quick breakdown: Ambience: 4/5 Taste: 4/5 Pricing: 2/5 Would I come back? Maybe to try their other coffee options. But as far as the siphon experience? Glad I tried it, don't need to do it again. read more

The coffee is a bit strong for me, and parking can be an issue. However I do love visiting and just chilling out. They have a pretty good menu for food as well, something that's not always reliable at coffee shops, and everything always looks delicious. There's ample seating, and the WiFi is strong. I see plenty of folks working from here. read more

I got the snickerdoodle latte iced with almond milk, it was good but nothing to write home about nothing I couldn't get at any other coffee shop. It was busy around 11 on a Friday morning we had to wait a bit for our drinks. It was good but don't feel a need to come back read more

Came here to do some remote work with a friend. There's a good amount of seating inside but it was quite packed on a Thursday afternoon. We decided to sit at the outside booths. I ordered a rosemel latte and a chicken empanada. The latte was quite sweet and caramel heavy, I did not detect much rose or cardamom flavor. The empanada was alright, the crust was flaky and buttery while the inside was generously stuffed with chicken. It was a nice little snack to keep me satiated. I did like how there was a decent sized parking lot. read more

Came during our lunch break and we really enjoyed it! I really liked the snickerdoodle latte it was plenty sweet if you like sweet drinks. I couldn't really taste any coffee really. The honey bee was also good with a good cinnamon flavor. My coworker said they really felt the coffee. They also tried the empanadas and they were really good and had lots of flavor. Parking was a bit crowded and we parked on the side street. Inside is really nice and cozy. I like the feel they have in there. There are a lot of seats to study, but I feel like the seats are a bit tight and crowded. They also have a cute seating area outside. The servers were nice and friendly. read more

The eggs in this taco were cooked to death. They were so rubbery and chewy that I could barely eat the taco, but I was starving so I forced a little more than halfway. So frustrating. These tacos are too expensive to be this awful. Happened yesterday 8.30.25 around 10 am. Still mad about it. read more

Came to Siphon Coffee because I was looking for a coffee shop in the area where I could get some work done for a couple of hours, and this place had a lot of seating, both inside and outside, but it was also PACKED! I had to sit outside, which was a very nice and cute area with comfy booth seats. My coffee and empanada was ready within 2-3 minutes of sitting! I ordered one of their holiday/seasonal drinks for Valentine's day, called Cupid Love (can't remember what flavor it was exactly, but I believe it had rose!). The latte was fairly decent, on the sweeter side but could have had a stronger coffee taste. The latte set was really cute too! I also got a beef empanada, which was very flaky and flavorful, but a bit hard to eat because it was really soft and fell apart -- would recommend using a fork next time! read more

Coffee was good. The barista was not. My husband ordered a coffee and a muffin. Since flavors vary by day and the muffins weren't clearly labeled, he asked a reasonable question: what flavors do you have today? The barista answered, then followed it with, "or you could just read the sign." That level of snark for absolutely no reason is WILD. As a former barista myself, I'm very familiar with customers being clueless, but come on dude. (Also, what sign??) If being asked basic questions is that irritating, customer-facing work might not be the best fit. Houston is a big city, so one bad interaction is all I need to choose to buy coffee somewhere else instead. read more

Came here on a random Thursday and it wasn't quite busy, we ordered the Snickerdoodle latte and the Baristas choice, I love how they have multiple milk options and they make sure to ask before making your drink. With the baristas choice they ask you a couple questions before they make your drink and I really enjoyed it! The Snickerdoodle latte was on the sweeter side but it was still very enjoyable. The outside seating area was very nice and it wrapped around one side of the building. They have wifi if you want to come around and study and do homework as well, plenty of tables to set up which I think was very convenient! read more

Awesome Coffee! Siphon coffee is a process that creates smooth, hot coffee. We didn't try any food, but they offer much more than the average coffee shop! Indoor and outdoor seating with plenty of relaxing spaces. Their baked goods are discounted after 5... Back to the coffee. The water is heated to boiling. Then the water is boiled up, coffee added to steep for 150 seconds. After that the heat is turned off and the coffee is pulled back down. Be careful not to sit close when they add the top piece when the water is hot, it can slash! read more

If you want a place to sit down for a light brunch with coffee this is a good place because they have a menu of foods to select from plus different baked goods. The seating is cute both indoor and outdoor. Service was kind but a little low staff it seemed. I got the vanilla latte and a breakfast sandwhich. In my opinion, the breakfast sandwhich just tasted like a microwaved jimmy deans breakfast sandwhich so I would get something else. Coffee was typical. read more

I went to siphon coffee on an early Tuesday morning to study for an exam. I got there early around the time they first opened and it quickly got crowded after us. I got a honey bee latte which is made with honey, vanilla, and cinnamon. The latte was on the sweeter side and now that I've tried it, I don't think I'm a fan of cinnamon in my coffee. It makes me feel extra thirsty and wanting water afterwards, more than coffee by itself. Other than that, it's pretty solid, the drink is a little on the sweeter side due to the honey and vanilla as well. They have really nice outdoor seating here as well. If I come back here I'd try a different drink, I just feel like cinnamon and coffee are not for me read more

This place was a really cool spot to go sit down and enjoy a warm or cold drink. I went in Sunday and they had the NFL games on screen and the employees were really nice and helpful. I'd definitely go back and take friends. The food isn't too bad and the prices are really fair. My hot honey chai latte was decent, only thing that would've made it better is if they had whip cream. read more

We visited this place at the hearty recommendation of a friend who loves siphon coffee, and we had to see what the fuss is all about. We made it in on Father's Day Sunday just after 3pm, and were dismayed at finding out the kitchen closes at 3pm. Being that both of us had built up quite a hunger, we opted for eating elsewhere and returning for coffee, and boy, did that prove to be the right choice! Between two of us, we tried siphon coffee, a cortado, an iced latte, and a muffin, and I can confidently say that besides the magnificent cortado I had in Spain, the cortado here as well as the other coffee we tried easily tops the list of the best coffee we've had in the Houston area. We will return again not only for the coffee, but for the excellent service Jay and Robby gave this afternoon. read more

Visited Siphon Coffee for the first time to get caffeinated. The shop has a really nice honey aesthetic to it with really aesthetic furniture. The staff were polite and nice. I ordered a small iced honey bee latte with oat milk. The honey bee has honey, vanilla, and cinnamon. The coffee was tasty (a tad bit too sweet for me, but that's the specialty beverage I ordered). Overall, the small drink was around $7 which was on the pricier side (with oatmilk), but was a nice experience! read more

Although I'm no stranger to Siphon, I found myself here unexpectedly, after realizing I had 0 desire to wait 2 hours for coffee at a packed new hotspot in Montrose. But this visit exceeded my expectations because Siphon now offers food...and I don't mean the empanadas from years past (no shade to the empanadas, they're pretty dang good), but I'm talking chicken pesto sandwiches, tacos, avo toast, chicken and waffles- a stacked menu, and it's giving :D I tried the chicken sandwich and...wow, all I can say is that they're serving restaurant quality food! If you're new to Siphon, I'd advise visiting during off hours, and they're incredibly popular and space is limited. During these times, parking can require a walk, but I use it as an excuse to walk off the chicken sandwich calories. read more

We stopped for a quick breakfast Saturday morning and got two breakfast sandwiches and a cold brew and matcha latte! Service was great and quick - food and drinks out in less than 15 minutes for everything. Breakfast sandwiches are made with egg, sausage and aoli - super yummy! I think a little veggie - tomato would be a good addition to the sandwich but overall delicious. My fiancée got a cold brew and loved it, said it went down real smooth. The inside is super cute and well decorated. There is also a patio outside - dog friendly!! Matcha was good, could use some sweetener but overall still a good deal. read more

With all the coffee options Houston has to offer, Siphon Coffee is truly a standout. Nestled in the Montrose area, it boasts a great selection of food options and exceptional coffee. The outdoor seating is a big plus--spacious and inviting--and the ample parking in the strip center adds to the convenience. A must-visit for coffee lovers! read more

Remote working review! Came here on a Friday afternoon to cowork with a friend. It is busy with people that had the same idea but it is relatively quiet, no music today! There is ample seating but not many outlets accesible for those not sitting by the walls. I ordered a Jamaica iced tea, it's delicious, refreshing and less than $5 after a tip, nice!

Really like this coffee shop as a study/chill hangout spot. It can get busy at times, but usually not too bad in the mornings on the weekdays when I go. Feels like it usually packs up closer to 10am. Parking lot usually is a good indicator of how busy it is since I feel like most of the other businesses on the strip don't draw as many people haha. Food/drink-wise my fiancée and I usually split a bottomless drip ($5). Occasionally will get an oat milk latte or their siphon coffee. Both are fine, their namesake siphon coffee looks pretty cool and very picturesque, but for me not something I'd order regularly. If I'm hungry I'll order a breakfast taco which I think is very solid. The standard taco is just eggs and cheese, but I usually add-on potatoes and a meat and it comes out to around $7. Definitely a little pricey imo, but they tacos definitely hit and are probably my favorite in the city. Other things worth mentioning are: - There are a good amount of outlets, but they're mostly on the tables close to the window so I'd still recommend making sure your laptop is fully charged if you wanted to work. Also the outlets are facing downwards which is a bit weird so... if you have a heavy charger keep in mind sometimes it'll just fall out. - Service is fine, coffee comes out promptly and I have no complaints for that. - The owner or maybe manager (?) is a pretty chill dude. He's usually around making sure everything is running. He likes to play his sneaker reviews on the big tv which is wholesome - There is actually a lot of outdoor seating which is mostly shaded, but due to my lack of heat tolerance I do not sit out there. I think the outside is also dog friendly. - Yes WiFi is free and pretty good for my work meetings Tl;dr: Good spot to work/study/hangout at, food and drinks are solid (albeit a little pricey). Probably the best option in the area. read more

Let's go back to basics! Siphon style or not. This place provides a great catch up, co-working or dating space. When they're busy, orders can take slightly longer. But still friendly to me! It serves various coffee styles, hot or cold, , savory and sweet items. Their wifi is great! I really enjoy the high seating facing the large window. It's in the direction that provide great natural light and somehow, that's my source of joy and motivation. Great for dreaming and people watching too! New community table I see? Wooden one, could easily fit 8. I keep forgetting they also have seating outside. Today's drink choice was their rose cardamom, very smooth. They carry Amaya coffee too! One low is the parking. A little tight at times. Overall, still enjoying the quiet yet busy and studious ambiance of this place. read more

One word: raisins. We were so excited to see empanadas on the menu, and instantly disappointed at the first bite when we tasted the raisins in it. $6 for that size felt too high. Yuck! Just why?? The chimichurri was flavorless and had too much oil. I did like barista choice speciality latte...they ask three questions: what type of milk? Iced or hot? Mid-sweet or sweet? I was satisfied with the lavender drink flavor. The outdoor and indoor spaces are very cute for co-working. read more

It's been awhile since I've gone back to Siphon Coffee. I'm a latte type of gal, so I never really crave any coffee without milk. I recently came back just to grab a quick coffee and breakfast, and I'm glad I did! It's gotten a lot busier, so it's harder to find seating around prime times. A lot more people come here to do work or study so it's quieter than I last remembered. I would recommend coming during off hours to find better seating. There are outdoor seating as well. FOOD/DRINK: Beef empanada ($6) - 5/5 - flaky and amazing goodness. Comes with chimichurri sauce. El grande taco ($4) - 5/5 - great value for the price and portion size. It already comes with eggs and cheese. I added potatoes and beans (60 cents for each extra topping). Try it with the creamy habanero sauce, and you'll never turn back! Cereal milk latte / snickerdoodle latte / gingerbread latte ($5.95) - 4/5 - fun drinks to try but nothing special or memorable. PROS: -Food and drinks are always great -Chill atmosphere CONS: -Difficult to find seating, shop is small -They blast the AC to an ungodly temperature so your hot drinks cool too fast and you're left shivering read more

Nice coffee shop with plenty of savory and sweet food to choose from as well as impeccable service. I initially wanted to try their burger but the kitchen was closed when we came around 4pm so beware of that. However, the beef empanada really made up for that in every way possible. Thin crust, thick beef filling, bursting with flavor. The chimichurri dipping sauce is also very delicious, and I ended up eating it by itself after finishing the empanadas. As for coffee, we got the Siphon Coffee for 2. It did take a bit longer than the other coffees, but the process was pretty cool to see. The baristas actually stopped midway to make sure that I was able to take pictures which was so sweet of them. The coffee itself was light and easy to drink, but by no means lacking. Halfway through drinking the caffeine kicked in and I was energized for the rest of the day. read more
