    For those people that are in a hurry, I would definitely NOT recommend this "Starbucks" location. Reason being is because what I thought would only be a 10-minute trip ended up being a 35-minute trip. The location I am focusing on is directly on the corner of Monroe Blvd. and the Gulf Freeway frontage road which runs very close to "William B. Hobby Airport" in south Houston. I came here with my lady on the morning of Friday 8/23/19 around 10:15am. First and foremost, the parking lot and drive-thru here is an absolute disaster. Since the drive-thru had at least 10 cars waiting to order, it snaked into spaces where customers were trying to enter/leave. I was in the middle of this chaotic mess as it became a challenge all in itself just to park as this alone took nearly 5 minutes of our time. It doesn't help one bit as there was several other neighboring business adjacent to this location. Once inside, it wasn't that much better. Even though the interior is nicely laid out and spacious with ample seating and fairly decent Wi-Fi, my lady and I were both confused which line to get into as there was two cashiers, or was it one cashier? It seems as if one of the cashiers that took an order ended up making the drink. Which left us all shaking our heads of who was up next ready to order with two separate lines. Either way, we both waited another 10 minutes just to order and nearly 15 minutes just to get our drinks. Fortunately her Iced Vanilla Latte tasted correct while my Iced Mocha was exactly how I wanted it; 1% milk and no whipped cream. At least that gave us hope that the baristas knew what they were doing even though things moved at a snails' pace. The hours here are very generous as this particular location is opened from 4:30am to 10:30pm seven days a week. But keep in mind that its the only Starbucks within a couple square miles so only come here if you're not in a rush.

    My 4 star review for morning shifts the same. This updated review is for afternoon shift. Spent 30mins in drive thru and there's only 4 cars (I'm the third car)! Those in front of me only ordered one drink per car. Still, they messed up cuz I saw they're returning the drinks. Anyways, I ordered my usual order (triple espresso with 2 pumps WC, 2 pumps vanilla and cold foam) idk how it took them 15mins to make that. I saw in the window staff is running around like they're trainees, don't know what to do. It was chaotic! Finally I received my drink, the foam settled after just 1 light shake!! The worst!!! My drink tasted weird too! I couldn't taste the syrup flavors nor the foam. Bummer! Was a mistake coming here in the afternoon. Should've sticked to the morning shift. Hate to compare or complain but it's true.

    Never again

    No point in buying a venti for a drink not full enough nothing but ice definitely not coming back to this location !!

    This is my neighborhood cafe, A wonderful Latina owned community cafe which caters to the community…read moreand from my experience is ethically run. The staff is kind and attentive. The events they have are fun and eclectic. Their coffee and food is delicious and In these polarizing times they have the heart and bravery to make their stance on important issues that affect us crystal clear. If you live in or near second ward and the east end please support this business.

    I had visited a nearby business and wanted to give this place a go. The parking situation isn't…read moregreat, but there is street parking in the area for those that may not be on foot. Vibe/Decor - 4.5* The storefront is cool, nice entryway and gives a chill vibe. Stepping in it's a bit boutique and free space for studying and chilling, with some music in the background. They have a panty near the door for those in need who want water and snacks, which is a great cause, but sadly I watched it be abused in the short time I was here. The intent is, come in, take what you need, within reason, don't clear it out essentially. Well, I watched a lady load up her bag with snacks and water. It wasn't what I'd subjectively view as "fair." They have some TVs around that at this visit had the World Cup on and there was a nice setup for buying some jerseys if you wanted. Overall, I enjoyed the setup and witnessed plenty of people reading or studying. Food / Drink - 2* They offer some bites and coffee drinks, which is obviously what many are likely visiting for. I ordered an Iced Black Sesame Latte, which also had a black sesame cold foam. The disappointing part, it was nothing to write home about. Maybe I'm a harsh critic here since I make my own Black Sesame simple syrup at home. That said, I did have the person with me try it who has tried my sesame lattes tell me they thought mine were better. I thought, well, maybe I'll get something else if I come back. Service - 2* I can only speak to my personal experience, but when I walked in, multiple people stared at me, as if I was an alien or unwelcome here, it was odd and uncomfortable. I approached the counter to order, asking a couple of questions, which were answered, albeit probably not as anyone would define as "warmly." Now, once ordered, it took longer than one would expect given how few orders were ahead of mine. I was in no rush, but I did witness the gentleman in front of me who was wearing a local business' shirt, seem to pace and anxiously wait. Cost - 1* Anyone who reads my reviews knows I preface this with, always subjective, but it's been awhile since I walked into a place and nearly walked out on pricing alone. That said, I wanted to see if the coffee was worth it at $9+ bucks. Sadly, it is not, particularly when paired with the pace of service. Overall - 2* This is one that I think has a lot of potential, but it just misses on fundamental marks for a coffee shop. At the end of the day, it's a cool vibe and I could see plenty of people wanting to relax here, but in a city, and even area, that has plenty of options, this one is worth skipping. Average coffee, subpar service, and poor pricing. I will not be returning, but hey, I'm only one review and opinion so if you're in the area, maybe your experience will be different.
