Womp womp. I love supporting local businesses especially if they are UH alumni. Sadly, The Nook missed their mark in their cafe downstairs. Picture it, Wednesday morning at 8:20 AM only one customer working on her laptop. I was the only customer in line, and the young lady working behind the counter did not acknowledge me for -2 minutes. She was walking back and forth behind the counter, but no "good morning" nor greeting nor "be with you in a minute." This is a cafe in the morning hours after all. I walked out and went to damn Starbucks instead. Ugh. After experiencing bad service upstairs a while back and now this experience tells me this establishment needs to better train their employees even if they are college students. read more

While on UH campus, I was in search for a place with wifi where I could get some work done. A friend directed me to The Nook. As a non-student, I was first discouraged that I had to pay for parking in the area when I wasn't expecting to. Once I entered, I ordered a drip coffee and tried to pay cash. However, they don't accept cash. Again, not a big deal, but I wasn't expecting it. The cafe was packed! It was great to see so many students. I was able to find a seat outside in the back to work. All went well from here, except when I needed to plug in my laptop. I tried 3 different outlets and none of them worked so I had to leave early. Overall, not a bad experience. I know I would enjoy my time more if I was a student or employee at UH. read more

Great coffee spot on/near the UH Law Center and UH campus with an excellent iced chai tea, excellent and prompt service and a very spacious interior with a lot of cozy areas for desks/tables for studying or getting work done. Met with Tanner Shae, one of the UH Law students seeking advice on clerkships, and it's also a great place to have a meeting. Highly recommended! read more

I come here weekly to play board games with my friends and we usually get food and drink as well. Drinks are yummy and they always have a special happening. I often get the hangover breakfast bowl and my one complaint is that the eggs they serve are sunny side up but the white is never cooked enough lately. I first got this a few months ago and I asked for the eggs over easy and they were perfect. Then I got it again about two weeks ago and just got sunny side up and the white was pretty much completely raw. Then the last time I got it i asked for it over easy again bc I didn't want to eat raw egg whites and they were more cooked but still not fully cooked. That's what's shown in the photo. Might have to start ordering something else. Atmosphere is great for games (especially downstairs) but it can get super loud upstairs. Once I asked someone working behind the bar if they could turn the music down and they said no. The lights upstairs also flicker a lot and it can be very distracting. I've never had any issues downstairs though. read more

Generally i buy 2-3 hot 16 oz latte's 2-3 times a week depending on my current schedule with the university and which classes i'm taking. the punch/ stamp card is nice, i like a free latte after i fill the card. the problem this time is that when ordering the 16 oz latte i was told the card is only for 12 oz drinks. I asked if there was a recent policy change and was informed that it has always been this way. I pointed out the print on the bottom of the card explaining that it shows 16 oz hot latte as an option ( you can see it in the picture), employee decided to try to gaslight me, by claiming that it does not say 16 oz it says 12 oz... im not ordering a matcha its a latte... unacceptable. do better read more

Rooftop bar was mid. Got the Cheeseburger with fries and my friend got Chicken Tenders. Fries were great and crunchy, but it's very hard to mess up fries. Burger however was very dry, from the patty to the buns. Burger buns taste like it's been sitting in the counter too long, and patty was small and dense. I tried my friend's Chicken Tenders, and the meat was also.... dry. Overall it is not amazing, but that's what you would expect from food on UH. read more

I recommend this place because they're open late. The Nook is located in University Houston campus. It is a quaint place. We ordered two cappuccinos but then continued to read the menu further and noticed they offer one drink with Bailey's Irish Cream. I then requested them to add it to my cappuccino but they wouldn't do it. It's my drink, I would have paid the extra. I wanted a warm drink not a cold espresso Martin which that's what it ended up being after I canceled my cappuccino and ordered it. I could have made it at home. The menu could have stated it was a cold drink. JS read more

I can not tell you about the food or drinks, I can only speak to the service. I walked in at 7:25am to an empty restaurant with two white gentlemen at the counter. I walked up to the counter while glancing at the display. I looked up hoping surely I wasn't invisible and someone would speak. The guy turned his face away from mine without a word. So, I said "good morning" and got no response. I must've looked perplexed because the other man said "let me know if you have any questions". Huh? No "Good morning, welcome to the Nook" ? How about a "are you interested in anything in particular? Or maybe even a "hi I'm so & so, can I help you with anything"? None of that and honestly, it's entirely too early to be ugly. I'm going to assume my money wasn't green enough and that the Nook is rolling in so much money that they can be rude and unprofessional. I don't patronize places that don't extend COMMON DECENCY. Never again. read more

First. Great spot. Maybe my next spot! Now the ordeal. It's not open on the weekends. What! I traveled through a flood and walked in a huge puddle to get here only to find out they have a parking lot with a rear entrance. My bad for ever doubting you. The inside is dope. Music a little loud but it is a student spot. I'm a D. Min. student from Emory and tried the Cougar blend since they didn't have a dark roast. That made me sad. They had various types of seating and just an absolutely wonderful chill vibe. All they needed was a golden retriever and this would have been a perfect ten. If you in the UH area come check them out and tell them I sent you. read more

No other cafe has better matcha than this place. Their coffees are also really good and reasonably priced. I've been coming here for a little over a year and is my go to spot. Free wifi, great music, cool workers and good hours. I'm sad that they don't close at 12 am anymore, but 10 pm has been sufficient for my studying needs. This place does tend to get busy, but I've always been able to find a seat. The weekends are the slowest and quietest. They recently remodeled their cafe, so the new seating and outlets have been a total updo. There is outdoor seating, so I use that space during my mental break in between study sessions. The outlets don't work outside so I can't actually do any work if my laptop dies. If you're a matcha lover, totally check this place out. Btw, no mirror in their restrooms haha. read more

This place is definitely a hidden gem at UH. The decoration and atmosphere here are so nice. They also have many tables and seats and outlets. Definitely a great place for study! Coffee is okay. However, it's just so chilly to sit for a long time to study. Also, as many people complained, the music is way TOO LOUD for study, or even talking to others. I tried but literally, I can't! I don't know why they have not changed yet after getting so many complaints from students who came here. I love the store but if I really need coffee, I might just buy one then go to somewhere else to sit! read more

I am so incredibly jealous that this wasn't here when I went to UH. Not only is it incredibly homey and charming with chalkboard walls, interesting art, and several nooks to study, read, or play board games, but the coffee is delicious. I got a Cinnamon Toast with half the syrup, and while it's a touch sweeter than I prefer, the flavors were delicious and honestly, what can you expect when you order something called Cinnamon Toast? It takes a bit of maneuvering through campus, but there was ample parking around 1 when I went and is so worth it. Bonus, seeing the growth of UH around it gave me some warm & fuzzy nostalgia. read more

What can I say other than I was let down. They re-opened the roof top that was closed. They had the chance to make a mark and they missed it by a mile. They overcharged on drinks and it took 3-5 business days to get one at least. The DJ played songs no one has ever heard, and it felt like I was in a retail store. It says a lot when you turn off your comments on your grand opening post on instagram because of so much bad feed back. Do better, Nook. Don't forsake the rooftop bar that means so much to this campus. read more

If this place had been around during my time attending the University of Houston, I probably would have spent a whole lot of time in here. It's kind of like your Starbucks, but it's not Starbucks because the Cafe has designated desks with power outlet for you to study and plug in your laptops or whatever electronic devices you might have. It also offers couches just to lounge around and an outdoor seating area. The drink prices are pretty reasonable and should be pretty affordable by college students. I had the White Macadamia Frappe, I think - I don't remember the name, but honestly, it tasted just like your caramel frappuccino from your local Starbucks. It wasn't bad at all. As for service, the only kind of service you'll get is when you're placing your order. The guy who was helping me was friendly enough. Another plus is that they have a shared parking lot with the other establishments here (Pink's Pizza, Cafe 101), although the spaces are very limited. I came here during summer break and there were quite a few people in here studying or just hanging out with friends. I can only imagine that this place would get super packed during regular semesters though. I'd only go back when school's out because otherwise, ain't nobody got time trying to fight the crowd here. read more

If you are going to get the birthday cake latte and find it's too sweet for you, asking for half the syrup works! The chocolate chip cookie is also great here.

Came here to study after seeing in the reviews. One thing to note is that it is on the UH campus, but don't worry if you're concerned about parking because they have their own lot (free). It's a decent place to study, lots of spots, but it is on the nosier side, which is why I like to go upstairs to the bar area since it's a lot quieter there. The chairs aren't the most comfortable, but not too bad. They also have a nice outdoor patio area upstairs and tons of board games. WiFi is free as well. It's a cute and aesthetic place with lots of students frequenting around. I ordered the chicken strips and those were ok, kind of dry. I'd give them a 4/10. Also ordered their iced tea of the day and latte, which were delicious. Staff was friendly and fast. I believe they also have events in the evening, but I personally haven't experienced those. read more

I like this place. Really nice atmosphere, conducive to reading, having intellectual conversations, business meetings or just grabbing a cup of coffee. In my opinion the prices are a bit high, but the coffees here are very decadent. With lots of options, you won't ever leave here coffee less. Due to the richness of their flavored coffees, I opt to visit here every few months. I prefer Dunkin Donuts for my regular coffee fixes. With that said, this place is a must try. Their menus list wines, in addition to coffee and tea selections. They also house really great desserts. Their walls are decorated with chalk boards filled with menu items, daily specials, drawings and quotes. Some areas have arm chairs, while others have study desks, and others tables and chairs. Their back patio has comfortable loveseats and wicker cushioned chairs. Student meets hipster meets Martha Stewart equals the Nook's decor. I had a bad experience once with one of the cashiers, which was ultimately put to bed by having a conversation with the manager, who handled the situation and my complaint with great customer care. In my recent visits, the cashiers are friendlier and more customer service-oriented (so I just upped my star rating from a 3 to a 4). I definitely recommend a visit to this cozy, yet artistic place. read more

And she was kinda short when taking my order and handing me my drink. Idk. I had higher expectations and this was a miss for me. IMO, a successful coffee shop needs to feel welcoming to get people to come back. Also, please look for ways to make your coffee less acidic. Dark and acidic is not it.

I got the saag paneer kolache and the gajar ka halwa bread pudding. Now anyone who knows me, knows I'm a fiend for gajar ka halwa and saag paneer so this was a must. I haven't had this place before, but the collab definitely pulled me in! Savory vegetarian kolache options do not come often, and I really hope this inspires Eadough to add and keep more of them. The bread was so soft and pillowy and the saag paneer was flavored well without being too strong or punchy. The gajar ka halwa bread pudding was amazing - not too sweet which is difficult when it comes to most indian desserts. I recommend eating this warm or heated as it was a bit too dry when cooled or at room temperature. When heated, the cake was moist and buttery which played very well to bringing out some key flavors. I can't speak to the service, but the packaging was cute. I hope to come here again and try other options from their regular menu, but hope they keep these two going!

When we arrived I realized the place is a walk up shop so we roamed around once for parking and realized they actually have a small area to the right of the shop to park- it can be easy to miss. When we walked up, their pastries looked delicious! I ordered their s'mores croffin. For my drink I got the turmeric wellness hot drink- I read a lot of reviews complaining about wait time. We arrived around 10am on a weekday and it was quite empty. There was relatively no wait time for our drinks. My drink was unsweetened so I added packets of sugar into it and the pastry was delightful- crunchy, buttery, sweet, chocolaty on the inside all at the same time. This place has some picnic looking benches outside of it if you are interested in staying there. I highly recommend! I'm ready to go back and try some of their other pastries.

I ended up trying the Cambodian elote cornbread and the black sesame mochi, and both were fantastic. I quite appreciate how creative their menu is. The service was also great--the workers were very thorough in explaining all the different options and answering our questions while I was trying to make up my mind. The only thing to keep in mind is their hours. They close early at 2 PM, so you definitely need to plan a morning or early afternoon visit. Overall, highly recommend stopping by!

I feel like they really nailed the flavors and works very well in a kolache. I would say my perfect bite had just a small dip of hoisin sauce. - Mango Sticky Rice: This one was fine to me. Just didn't stand out like the Kolache. Rice is pretty dense so the middle where the filling was a little heavy. - Cambodian Iced Coffee (Kayfe Dahkoh): Reminded me of Viet coffee with the condensed milk. Loved how they tried to be very environmental conscious here. For their ice to go cups they used paper? to go cups. (They reminded me of those traditional paper chinese food take out containers but cup form). They also have raw spaghetti pasta? for people to use as stir sticks for their coffees. They had a few tables insides (counter and tables) and outside. Not sure what the wifi/outlet situation was like since we did to go.

He took care of us the entire time and never really missed a beat. The menu is pretty basic but it's all good. I opted for the salad. It had a little too much cheese but overall not too bad. They did have a brisket hash and they use the brisket from the bbq place next door. I had a bite of that and it was actually really good. It's a open party kind of vibe in the back patio with a DJ and then it's an additional bar further back. This place is a good size and was packed.

On the corner of Scott and Elgin, ThirsTea was literally a cool breeze in the hot sun. Large windows made it bright but the awning kept it from being overbearingly hot as we perused the menu of drink options. They have milk tea, iced tea, chai, smoothies, slushies, rolled ice cream, and snacks. I got an iced pink chai latte made with oatmilk and cajun fries. The chai, pink due to a variation straight from India, was delicious. Smooth, not overly sweet, and refreshing. The fries were well seasoned and hot enough to make me do The Thing. You know the thing (hafhafhaf) you do when the food is too hot to eat immediately but too yummy to wait? Yeah, that thing. The woman who helped us was so sweet and attentive. This was the perfect stop on this hot day. I look forward to trying other things on the menu.
