    Cute small spot for a quick coffee and bite. Nice staff. Slightly quiet ambience. Variety of drink options.

    Cute little house

    While in Houston we were looking for a good coffee place. I don't to Starbucks unless I am in a bind. My husband came across this cute little place around the area of our hotel in Pasadena. It's situated in a neighborhood and it looks like a regular house . It has plenty of parking and nice little tables to sit outside and plenty of seating inside. My husband ordered a vanilla latte and I went with what the barista suggested, it was a brown sugar drink and it was delicious!!!! Just what I needed. They also have lots of delicious pastries we ordered the coffee cake and it was so good. It was such a great little gem to find. If I am ever in that area I hope o can visit it again.

    Grabbed a breakfast sandwich and taco. Both were a bit soggy and needed hot sauce for flavor. Reasonably priced, great service, and room for seating with a few people studying.

    We love this little coffee shop! It's a fun change from the other more fast paced places. Every pastry we have tried has been delicious but the lemon poppyseed is a must. The drinks are always made with care and amazing. They do have a drive through but we always like to go inside for a bit. They offer outdoor seating which is perfect for a beautiful sunny day. Definitely get there early because their parking is limited and it always fills up quickly! The coffee and muffin were both mother-in-law approved so you know it's good! I'm taking my sticky note for the goal board next time!

    Great coffee house! Loved the iced vanilla latte, tasty breakfast burrito, and the coffee flight is a must-try--plus amazing service, 10/10!

    We were really impressed by this coffee shop. My lavender honey latte was delicious! The tacos were tasty and the pastries were fresh and made with care. It is definitely worth the drive if you live outside of Pasadena.

    Dropped by after enjoying brunch at Pine Street Cafe at Silver Sycamore because I wanted the full experience. LOVED this little cozy coffee shop and I'm jealous of the residents that live right across the street because how cool is that? You can walk over any time and enjoy the space, the hot coffee and walk right back over. The life. I order the Cinnamon Almond Delight hot and it was perfect for me. I don't like my coffee too sweet and it had the perfect amount of sweetness. Too good! My man ordered the special drink they were promoting: the Brown Sugar and Cinnamon Oatmilk Latte iced and he loved it as well. He enjoys his coffee sweeter so he requested 2 extra pumps of the good stuff to have it to his liking. The shop itself was packed, people with their laptops enjoying their hot brew. Typical coffee shop things, but the part that stood out the most was the sticky note wall designated for customers dreams and goals they'd like to achieve. What a great idea to bring the community together, loved that. Look forward to trying more items on the menu and maybe enjoying one of the books they have stacked on the fireplace. Must visit this neighborhood gem!

    Super cute little coffee shop but the customer service and coffee/flavor quality are lacking. I splurged on a coffee flight, latte and a pastry. Density of the donut was yuck. It'd been different if it was a "protein" or "Keto" one-then I'd understand to expect that. The staff wasn't very knowledgeable. I watched them both mess up orders (but w/e we are all human). They were t very personable. Kinda clueless rather and not the barista service I'd expect. I showed them several pictures of items from yelp and neither could make them. Kinda disappointed, and even though they're the same owner, if I was in this area again, I'd just go across the street.

    Great little place with good coffee. They offer coffee in mugs which is a plus for me. It is small with a couple of tables inside but there is also an outside seating area if the weather nice. Service was good and they were friendly. Not really loungy but good place to set up a laptop or have a bible study.

    Coffee!

    Great vibes, great coffee, and great food! This is a cute little spot to bring a computer or have a coffee chat! There are not too many table if it is busy though. The coffee tastes great! I love the roaster that they use, Amaya Coffee. They even have a few house blends! I wish they had more wall plugs, but other than that- the perfect spot!

    They told me not to touch the pastries.... The signs were NOT helpful

    They didn't have any savory breakfast without pork. Food is good they just don't have a lot of variety. Pastries were tasty and affordable BUT you can't look at them up close. They have signs that said "do not touch" but they weren't in the best spots so it let to an awkward encounter. Overall it's a cute spot with good coffee and pastries but because of the food limitations not everyone is able to enjoy a meal here.

    I've been a regular at Just Love for over two years now. My little guy and I head there every week…read morefor our coffee group. We always have a great time and everyone is always so friendly. There are many regulars that we see and speak to every week. That's how you know people like a place and feel welcome... they keep coming back. Crystal (the owner/manager) is kind and wonderful. She is on top of things and I've seen her do every job from computer work to straightening up to helping cook in the back. She seems to be the type of person who is willing to do whatever needs to be done. She also seems to have a great relationship with her staff and that's also very important. Manuel is very friendly and helpful. He's knowledgeable about their menu and always remembers what our friend likes to drink when she forgets what it's called. I love the openness and space. There's a couch and chairs in the back if you feel like lounging, plenty of tables in the front for eating, working, or just sitting at. There are games that people can play although sometimes children get ahold of them and pieces go missing. There is also a little kids play area which is golden when you have a toddler. I love that I can sit and have my food/coffee and also keep an eye on my little guy while he plays. It's a wonderful place to meet with people or to just take your kids when you need to sit down with a cup of coffee while they play. They have a good variety of drinks on top of the seasonal offerings. The food is good, and I kind of love that a lot of it is made in a waffle iron. It makes me want more waffle shaped food. The grilled cheese is made with sourdough bread and cooked in a waffle iron. It has these little crispy bits that are heavenly. One of my favorites is the sausage egg and cheese biscuit with a side of gravy. It's also prepared in a waffle maker and has those little crispy bits on the edges. So so good! So yourself a favor and give it a try.

    I struggled whether to give this place a three or four star review. Overall it's a very nice place,…read moreclean and airy. Order at the counter but a tip is suggested? Had to get our own coffees but our plates were delivered to us. Portions for breakfast are smallish with just the item and no extras (like breakfast potatoes or grits). Avocado toast had a thin layer of brownish avocado spread on a bread that had been toasted on a waffle iron. Scrambled eggs, looked like they had been premade and broken into smallish pieces. That said my latte was very good and they offer a lot of drink options. Partner said plain coffee was good but not great. Not sure I would go back unless I was driving by because getting breakfast there did not satisfy. It was more like eating at a fast food place, which will keep you from being hungry, but not necessarily be the greatest experience. I hope this place can hang on but needs something to make it more buzz worthy.

If you're anywhere near Hobby airport, this is the only choice to make. What to get: Cafe Sua Da, Darling What to get for a Russian girl: Da, Darling This is one of the best chains that there is for Vietnamese coffee, although when I say chain, there's only 2 locations I know of, and this is the original. The other - on Belt 8 nearby - is just as good. There is no Vietnamese Coffee in Greater Houston that is better than this one, and it tastes absolutely divine. I love coming down here for this reason, and they're always very friendly. They know my order just like I know the order of the Bond movies cough Dr No is first cough. It's not too expensive, and the tapioca is usually good. The coffee is - as I say - second to none. I'm so glad they have a second location now, out by the belt, and I absolutely adore every sip of their Cafe Sua Da. I compare them to the ones over in Bellaire (Chinatown and Alief aka Viet-town), and these are some of the best you will ever taste. I might even like them better than the masses of stellar options along Bellaire, in fact. Now go ahead, put some respect on their Nam.
