    The service was amazing and the food was delightful. Served hot and fresh. The Macha is really nice and the tea was amazing.

    I really liked this place. I got the with love and it was so good. The chocolate croissant was also really good. There's ample seating inside. The WiFi is only 2 hours per receipt, which to me makes sense. The only only thing I hated, it was freezing inside for me. Parking was ample in the lot.

    I wanted to get some work done on my laptop. I ordered an iced mocha. A large one will set you back $7. You get two hours of free Wi-Fi. After two hours, you must purchase something to get access again. I didn't know they also have wine. I saw some folks at the bar sharing a bottle of wine and a charcuterie board. Bathrooms are co-ed. While the space is spacious, there were lots of folks with laptops and using the electrical outlets.

    Really nice drinks. Their signature drink with less caramel drizzle was perfect! Ambience was nice as well.

    This is my favorite location of Slowpokes in the Houston area. The parking is easy, the space is good sized, & the staff is friendly. I like that there's beverages other than coffee on the menu (teas, lemonades, beer, and wine), along with snacks and some baked goods. The stools facing the windows are a nice spot to watch some cars go by. There are quite a few spots with outlets for those who need to charge up. I enjoy the atmosphere and it isn't overly noisy most days. They do a great job making my drinks whether iced or hot, and have a self-help water station too. A few of my must-have items while there include their flatbreads, danishes, and sandwiches. They also offer a small happy hour menu so be to sure to check it out! It's a good spot to enjoy some me time or meet up with a friend.

    I had only been to the Slowpokes at Levy Park, and while I always had a positive experience at that location, this location is more convenient The exterior might not look like much, but as you enter the coffee shop you walk into a trendy and relaxing space. I love the decor, furniture, and art The staff are very skilled and friendly. You don't have to wait at the counter for your food/drinks. They give you a number, and they will bring out your order This is a perfect spot to chill, read a book, catching up with friends, or get some work done. The Slowpokes coffee shops are also very dog friendly and accommodating Their menu is big and clearly written behind the register and coffee bar. There are plenty of classic drinks, signature and seasonal offerings, as well as snack and breakfast items Some tips: The ube latte is always delicious. I also think they make one of the better flat whites in the city. If you're hungry, the everything bagel dog is very tasty Cheers!!

    Banana matcha, ube vanilla latte decaf

    Got a ube vanilla latte decaf and tried my friends banana matcha. Both were good but I wouldn't come out of my way to get again. Private parking lot and plenty of seating. They have an alcoholic drink menu and happy hour, would be interested in trying those and their food items.

    I got the ube vanilla latte and it was good! The flavors were subtle and if you're looking for something not too sweet, it is perfect for you. The vanilla was not as apparent so I would add an extra pump if you wanted more sweetness. The service was great and quick and I got a discount for being a healthcare worker! The inside was very chill and a great place to hang with friends.

    Breakfast tacos with honey vanilla oat milk latte
    Rhiannon D.

    Came here to study between exams this past rainy Tuesday. I'm going to admit it doesn't have much seating. The back wall has the single seating with the plugs with the rest of the place either being 4 tops or bar stool diner style seating. I ordered the honey latte and added vanilla. It was pretty good and so were the breakfast tacos. The breakfast tacos come as vegetarian but you can request to add bacon which I did and I requested the cilantro creama which was delicious. I just wish the sauce cup was larger. They bring the food out to you which is nice and they have self serve water cups. Now for the WiFi, your WiFi code is your order number and total and it's only good for two hours. After two hours you have to purchase something else to keep using it. They do have a lunch menu, a bar and cookies/pastries so this shouldn't be an issue to most. The music can be a little loud but otherwise I wasn't too bothered and was able to study and get what I needed done. The parking lot had plenty of parking as well

    Breakfast biscuit golden latte
    Kelly P.

    Really enjoyed my Monday morning being a slowpoke at Slowpokes. I love that no one rushes you out and you can enjoy your meal, coffee and get work done. The golden latte was very good with a nice balance between honey and cinnamon. The biscuit sandwich was crumbly and so soft. It really tasted like you were biting into a pillow. The spicy jam is a 10/10. All of the staff were really nice and the barista helped me choose my coffee and meal. He gave great recommendations.

    Slowpokes has extensive options for coffee, tea, food, and other drinks. Although it was crowded, it was a nice spot to catch up with friends and study after school. My drink was prepared quickly and thoughtfully. I tried the cold brew with pumpkin cold foam - and it was great! Just as good or better than Starbucks.

    Angeline D.

    If you find yourself in the West U area, this Slowpokes location is worth checking out if you're looking for a chill place to meet someone and chat or if you're looking to get work done. Service has always been friendly and they try to quickly get your orders out. One time I did ask to customize my bagel and they did it with no issues, so I'm grateful for that. :) I have tried their purple rain, which is basically an iced ube latte. When the right person makes it, it tastes great - good balance between ube and espresso. However I've had it one time where it didn't taste as good, so it depends on who makes it. The bagel wasn't terrible, but I'm from Jersey and I have high standards when it comes to bagels lol. I've only been here in the early morning for a quick coffee run so I can't really judge how their alcoholic drinks are or how all their food items taste. I do see that they have happy hour available starting at 4pm until close. They have rotating beers and some wine selections. Good amount of seating available, mostly bar chair seating. I love how there are little hooks under all the tables to hang anything you want to. There are games available to play with friends. Parking is decent however there are other businesses that may end up filling the spaces quickly. Overall, would recommend this coffee shop and happy to see locations growing across Houston.

    Great spot with good coffee! Typical prices you'd find nearby. Service is friendly & quick. Ambiance can be loud, but there are also plenty of people getting their work done (as I did)

    We recently came here with friends wanting to check it out for the first time (even though they are…read moresadly closing in just a couple of weeks). I've had my fair share of Paulie's but never had the chance to come to Camerata...until now. I had been missing out for so long! We journeyed from white to red wines throughout the night. We started out with the Babylonstoren, a chenin blanc from South Africa. We then moved into pink (rose) with the Ana Beirut - a blend of cab sauv, syrah, and tempranillo grapes with a bit of skin contact to give the wine the pink color. Lastly we ordered the Guelbenzu - a red blend of tempranillo, cab sauv, syrah, and graciano. This full-bodied red was the absolute fan favorite of the table. Food options are on the light side: meat & cheese boards, bread, and small bites. We started out with the warm bread - while it's normally served with butter, there's an option to switch that out with olive oil & herbs which is what we did. We then went for the meat & cheese platter. We couldn't decide on which meats or cheeses, so we did the option of ordering all 8! This came with 4 delicious meats and 4 tasty cheeses (from Houston Dairymaids), also with crispy fava beans, olives, pickles, and bread. This was a good amount for our group of 4 to share. Elena was our server and she was absolutely OUTSTANDING. She vibed with us throughout the night and made sure that we were well-taken care of. I loved her energy along with her vast knowledge of wines. We got plenty of good recommendations from her during our time there. I'm super sad that Houston will be losing this gem permanently at the end of the year (and even more sad that I only discovered it in the last month of its existence). While I know that owner Paulie won't be moving this venture to a new spot, I do hope a descendant of Camerata manifests itself somewhere in Houston in the coming years.

It's part of the Paulie's Restaurant brands, but completely separate from the restaurant from what I could tell. Parking is a bit difficult, but after a bit of circling we were able to find a spot and make our way in what looked like the back entrance. It was very low key, and despite the sign, the door seemed almost hidden in that back little corner. The staff seemed to have a bit of a hipster vibe-- not unexpected given the Montrose area-- but were very friendly. They offered suggestions, but let us go with what we wanted to try. There's a food menu along with the drinks, but we were heading to the restaurant next door, so we passed on grabbing food. We ended up going with a couple of glasses of red and a couple of the specialty chocolates. My wife loved her salted caramel chocolate. I enjoyed my peppermint chocolate. For the glasses of wine, I've got better at home for bottles the same price as those glasses. My wife really enjoyed the vibe, but even if this place wasn't about to close down, I'm not sure I'd be coming back here often. It's just too hard to park.

I experienced this side of the business during the early phase of the Covid pandemic back in 2020. At the time, during lockdown, going to a wine bar or wine shop just wasn't top of mind. However, I had researched a Cabernet Franc (red wine) called Nicolas Reau Enlèvement Demandé Anjou [Vintage year: 2017]. Reau is kind of a rebel working in the Loire Valley of France who is interested in producing organic, biodynamic wines that are essentially closer to nature and processed differently--more artisanal, so to speak. I read about this wine and wanted to find a bottle locally, which wasn't an easy task as I recall. This is where Vinology comes in. I'm not much of a wine drinker, but had to have a bottle of this excellent wine. Like many people, I preferred to stay indoors during the early part of the pandemic and was kind of nervous about going out. When I called Vinology, I expressed my dilemma, and the guy on the other end of the phone came up with a great solution. He offered to deliver the bottle of wine I purchased to my address. I actually met him at the edge of the garage entrance to where I live. This was great, exceptional above and beyond service. I will always treasure and remember Vinology and plan to support the business more in the future. Hats off to the folks who own and run this wine establishment.

We were immediately helped as soon as we found a table which I really appreciated. The menu is HUGE and has anything you could possibly want. We're big red wine fans so we settled on that page. J opted for a cab while I decided on a couple to sample before ultimately choosing a red blend. I appreciate that they're more than happy to give you a taste before committing to a glass. You can choose between 3 or 6oz pours, or a bottle. We also decided to share a cheese board with the Willoughby cheese which was soft and delicious!

We came in as an impromptu visit after an earlier event and figured we'd just stop in for a glass of wine or so. Upon walking in, the place is super cute with dim lighting and was quite crowded on a Thursday night. We didn't immediately find available seating, but after a couple minutes, a table opened up and we sat there. Our primary server was Grayson, who was super knowledgeable about the wine list. Other servers tended to us throughout the night, and all were equally as knowledgeable about the menu offerings. At the time we went, they were featuring various wines from Beaujolais. We ended up trying one of these, the Alexandre Burgaud Brouilly Rouge, which was a full-bodied red. This was a great recommendation, and I will say that we didn't conclude the visit on only one of these bottles... Based on Grayson's food recommendations, we ended up ordering the Mortadella panini and a combination charcuterie board. The Mortadella panini was unique but good - tomato, mortadella, provolone, and mustard all served on a pretzel bun. Probably not my dish of choice alongside wine, however I did really like the charcuterie board. We asked them to surprise us on the cheese and meat, and they really came through. The prosciutto was tasty and the cheese (can't remember which one) had a peppery flavor to it, which paired well with our red wine. The overall clientele vibe seemed like a range of date nights, girls nights, first dates, and solo drinkers. I love the diversity! We ended up making friends with the table next to us and eventually merged tables to make this a fun group date night. Definitely a highlight of the visit. We will definitely be back sooner than later. This is a cute neighborhood bar that I look forward to returning myself and brining out-of-town guests to come experience. They also have a dog-friendly patio - something to keep in mind whenever the day calls for drinking some wine in nice outdoor weather!
