We wanted to try something new for breakfast so Roast & Brew looked like a great option. Great…read morereviews and the photos of the food looked great. The ambiance was great. It was nice and quiet so we felt bad bringing our 22 month old son since a lot of people seemed to be working. The staff was nice, but not overly helpful. The food and the prices were less than desirable. We ordered drip coffee, a hot mocha latte, two breakfast sandwiches (one with ham and the other with bacon), a blueberry scone, and a Greek style-phyllo party. The drop coffee was tiny for $3.49 (with $1.08 refill, seriously), recommend getting it in a to-go cup. Mocha was really good and a good size. The sandwiches were decent, but have had a lot better. Scone was decent, but nothing of note. Finally the phyllo dough pastry should have been their star, but it was soggy and barely warm. Asked them to reheat it, still not crispy as phyllo should be. Will I return? Likely no, unless I just want a mocha. With all the other coffee spots in the Heights, this isn't the start. Recommend going to Jane and the Lion or Angela's Oven if you're looking for a better experience with similar offerings.

Really shows they care about the customer experience. The vibe here is on point--perfect spot to hang out with friends, relax, and enjoy the night. Good energy all around. Definitely a place I'd come back to.

Having been to this place a few times already, I think I found my favorite drink: the Ume Matsuri…read moreincluded on their seasonal menu (this was about 4 months ago). For a non-asian coffee shop, this was a great matcha color-wise, and it was a beautiful sweet treat. I appreciated the little bits of nuts (forgot what kind) that came in a few sips. The Turkish Delight was a good option too, and you can taste the hints of rose that usually get lost in some drinks if not done right. I've also tried the Golden Harvest - which is a sweet corn latte - from their seasonal menu as well and it was good! I have not tried their food items, hemp drinks, or cocktails before, but by the quality and presentation of what I have tasted I'm sure they're good as well. This place is great if you're looking for a casual, late night work/study sesh and there's plenty of seating. I wouldn't recommend for groups larger than 4 though. Parking is the only con since they have limited, tight spots.

Great coffee! They put a lot more into their coffee than a lot of spots, even offering several…read moretypes of pour overs to choose from -oat places offer one type of pour overs, if that. They offer a variety of savory and sweet pastries but the top option is their Brazilian cheese bread. The consistency can be a little hit or miss but when you get a good, fresh batch is SOO GOOD! The vibe is not your normal, dim light coffee shop. Everything is very new and bright. The music seems to be picked by the workers and I've heard everything from tejano to Die Spitz (play more of this!!). Highly recommend checking this new spot out!

They put the roast date on every bag and a lot of other info like how they were processed, washed and organic. They even have the elevation on the bag. They have a showroom with all the coffee machines and supplies they sell, they use it to train baristas. They supply coffee and stuff to a few places you've heard of, Black Walnut, Goode & Co., Uncle Bean's, etc. There are a lot of friendly knowledgeable people who work here and they seem to enjoy it. One of them even made a stellar to go cup of hot cappucino for me, nice foam artwork. We'll order on line after we finish this bag of beans, it's easier...we enjoyed scoping out this place though. Great people and product. I saw some bags of their beans at Main Street Coffee in Rockport and that got me stirred up.

This is the best coffee roastery I have ever purchased from or had brewed in a coffee shop. I have…read moreordered the Organic Columbian online and purchased a Colubian roast in person. Both were exceptionally good. The shop is a little off the beaten path, but easy to find and beautiful inside. The employee at the front desk was very friendly and helpful when I showed up unannounced to buy some coffee. According to their Instagram, they offer tours and tastings by appointment, which I plan to do in the near future. They also suggest calling ahead to order your coffee so it will be ready when you pick it up. I recommend doing that because I did have to wait a little while when I popped in to order. I have been brewing the Columbian grounds at home for my bulletproof coffee with ghee, coconut oil, collagen, and stevia and I swear it tastes like brownie batter. I have never had a more smooth, balanced flavor from a roasted coffee bean in my life. I will continue to purchase coffee beans and grounds from Geva as long as they exist and I will always support any coffee shop who brews their coffee as well.

Starbucks - I-45 & West Rd. (Houston)…read more Being polite is nice, but there needs to be a genuine, non-forced balance between baristas and customers. I have visited hundreds of Starbucks locations worldwide and evaluate each store through three lenses: its setting, its atmosphere, and its customer interaction. Most assessments are based on extended visits--typically over five hours per location--observing how the space operates throughout the day. When time-constrained, I evaluate the store through the efficiency and quality of the To-Go experience. Reviewing both formats provides a complete view of performance. Although many locations follow the same operating model, meaningful differences appear in execution. The most consistent variable is staff engagement. In most stores, baristas actively shape the customer experience; only a small number simply going through the motions. Let's grab your favorite beverage and explore this location together. NEARBY: 4-Star If you're traveling I-45 Southbound, it's right off exit 59. Near this location is mini strip mall with shopping, and dinning. If you're traveling by air, it's conveniently located 15 minutes from IAH Airport. I stopped by for few hours after dropping off family. AMBIENCE: 4-Star Looking at it from the outside it's clean with small patio seating facing the highway. Parking lot is decent size, including additional spaces around the building, shared with other businesses. During peak hours, expect Drive-Thru lines to be long, wrapping around the building and blocking your parked vehicle(s). Once you step inside, you will be greeted by baristas who are busy keeping up with peak hours orders. Being that it was a weekend, they were getting influx of customers every twenty minutes, sometimes lining up from the outside. Since one of their main doors was broken, they had a sign directing everyone to use the door by the patio. Upon entering, you will see Mobile Order counter on your left side. On your right, they offer three round tables and six chairs. To place your order, go straight towards the merchandise shelves. Expect to be waiting at least fifteen minutes in peak times. The lines inside were long and it was partially due to customers unaware which line to stand behind. Some were waiting to pick up their orders while some waiting to place their orders. They do offer additional seating by merchandise shelves. Couch-like seating with outlets, few tables and chairs. I would have stayed here longer, but their Wi-Fi was extremely spotty. I would not recommend this location if you're coming to work. A CUP OF PATRON CARE: 4-Star The baristas overall did a great job accommodating each customer. Regardless of being extremely busy, they were efficient and well staffed with at least ten baristas. I observed the greeting of customers. It felt more forced than genuine. Which I don't blame the baristas nor complaining. They are too busy making orders right and efficiently and are expected to greet every single customer. Being polite is nice, but there needs to be a perfect balance between baristas and customers. This cafe is seeing somewhat lack of care from cleaning perspective. They were so busy here that they had no staff to come and clean the restrooms or empty trash cans that were getting full. Same goes for inside cafe space. Here, they focus more on drink and food orders instead of balancing between keeping cafe clean and preparing orders. Again, not necessarily a bad thing, considering I was one of the few sitting awhile and working. The restroom towel dispenser was loose and looked like it's been neglected for a while. The wall portion bellow it has seen neglect too, from all the wet hands grabbing towels. I would give this location 4 stars.

I really like the sweetness options they have where you can adjust how sweet your frappe is. I added chocolate to mine and got it at 50% sweetness which was a little too bitter for me but that's my fault. Next time I'll try at 75% to see how it is. The place looks like a nice spot to hang out but I just got mine to go. Will be back soon!

Their drink menu has pretty good options. I opted for the rose milk tea with 50% sugar - the adjusted sweetness level is just right for me. The milk tea is well made, rich with a hint of rose. This location is really spacious, plenty of seating and well kept. There was not much wait time for the drink and food. There is also a kiosk to order from if you prefer that.

And the grab-n-go area has their overnight oats, chia puddings, plus bottled drinks. Prices aren't listed but there's a menu with prices + other items like sandwiches, bowls, and salads. The menu is expansive-- don't forget the coffee and drinks too! For the pastries, the croissants are always beautiful but the texture isn't what I'd call a typical croissant. I've tried the croissant swirls (circle croissants) and more traditional versions, and they have more of that soft bready texture of a grocery store croissant. Maybe reheating it at home makes it flakier? The cookie croissant is my favorite croissant even though I wouldn't consider it a true croissant based on texture alone (more of a soft buttery bread with cookie dough!). The cookies are big and thick but definitely on the softer side without much chew. I do love their cake jars-- the moist layers matched with a whipped frosting make an extra delicious treat! The overnight oats and chia puddings are extra tasty as well (more of a dessert :P) It's definitely busy-- besides for the dining experience, people come here to study, work, and hangout. There's a drive through but not sure how efficient that is, so try ordering through their website instead. There's also a loyalty program! I'd visit more often if I lived in the area-- their Herman Park location had a limited menu and isn't as big or nice, but it'll do until I come back :P Swing by to check them out for some good eats and trendy seats :)

It is actually filthy underneath the initial beautiful surface. It came to the point that I feel icky being there.

To the owners: I worked in restaurant management years ago, please message me and I will help you recover and maintain your business. This will have you lose your loyal customers.
