    Chocolate croissant
    Valencia H.

    I saw on instagram how ppl were saying they've waited an additional 30 mins after ordering. I was thinking they exaggerated but was told the same when I arrived by other guest. The line moved fairly well since it was after 12pm. I decided to try out two drinks since I live a good distance away and I wasn't sure I'd be back anytime soon. When I ordered the employee let me know it'd be 15-20 mins. I got a chocolate croissant it was underwhelming. Not moist, chocolate to croissant ratio seemed off. I came for the speculoos and selected the jet black as well based on the reviews. I was tempted to try the jade but one of the baristas who loves both let me know it's very sweet compare to the others I was interested in. Both drinks were good. I do think the sesame is a more complex flavor especially if you like to actually taste your coffee. I would try the jade and ube drink I think it's called purple stuff; whenever I'm back on that side.

    I went on a Saturday so there was a line. It goes quickly and staff is friendly. This is easily one of my favorite matcha/coffee shops in Houston. There's limited seating inside as it is a very popular shop so it's better to grab and go. The drinks I got were perfect. I will be back!

    First of all, their ube cream is pretty good, and their service was actually pretty great. But I knocked down 2 stars because one, their ambiance is just not it. It's just too basic and gave a quick grab and go coffee shop, and it didn't feel inviting to just sit and chill there. And it almost feels like you can't/shouldn't because of such limited seating. Two, they don't have decaf and they were really confused when I went a little off-script from the menu. I wanted double shot of espresso over ice with the purple stuff. She asked me if i wanted any milk, and if i wanted to cream on the side. I asked for extra extra ice, but i still got a little cup with just regular amount of ice. I moved here from out of state, and I didn't know going off-script for coffee was that complicated until i moved here.

    My first time trying Two Tone Coffee and I'm honestly very torn with this review because the coffee itself was really good and clearly well made. You can tell they care about quality, and I absolutely understand why this place stays busy. That being said, the wait time was very long. I waited about 30 minutes from the time I ordered to actually receiving my coffee, and this was on a Wednesday around 10 a.m. I'm not sure if that's their normal flow, but it was packed. Thankfully I didn't have anywhere to be, because if you're stopping in before work or during a tight schedule, definitely plan ahead and expect a wait. The only real downside for me was the timing and ordering process. Spending close to $10 on one coffee plus waiting that long makes this feel more like an occasional treat rather than an everyday coffee run. I'll admit I may have been a little cranky from the wait, but I do think it's fair feedback. Overall though, my coffee was delicious, and because of that, I would absolutely give them another chance. Good things take time, I guess.

    OVERVIEW: Expensive drinks that could take you less than 5 mins. to consume, but worth it depending on if you don't mind spending nearly $10 for one. Service can be a little slow given how busy they get, and there's very little seating inside, so it's very much a grab and go type of setup. There's a pastry/snack menu but those also cost another $8-$10 so you can easily drop $20+ here for a quick breakfast. Overall we enjoyed what we ordered, but I probably wouldn't go out of my way to revisit. FOOD & DRINK RATINGS: - Sausage and cheese kolache (not pictured, 4/5): Good but not worth the $10+. - The Oki matcha (3.5/5): Creamy and smooth, but really nothing out of the ordinary good matcha. - Jade (4/5): Too sweet for my preference, but pandan flavor is good.

    Two-tone is very one-tone, or one-note! I was not impressed by this coffee shop at all. The hype was just that, "hype." Fell flat, one note and didn't really offer the same expectations or standards of what I look for in a coffee shop. So, yes. I am biased and I do have personal expectations of a coffee shop. I've been to enough to know that after getting to the front of the line and ordering my coffee, being told that a cup of coffee is another twenty minute wait, after having stood in line for half that time is already a red flag. My first visit, the line was out the door and then the wait for my coffee was an immediate walk out the door. I decided to give TwoTone one more chance. Went again the next weekend, and was still met with the same disappointment minus the 20 minute wait! The overall aesthetics, vibe, and ambiance doesn't really match my vibe. When you walk in, there are barely any places to sit. Two tops and a seating area on one wall is more of a "waiting area." There's always a line and a wait. They have all these staff members but somehow there's always a wait. The ambiance is cold, and uninviting. Very industrial and not cozy at all. On the other hand, it feels like a club for Gen Z'ers, with staff dressed with crop tops and no apron...idk just very informal and not really connecting with the patrons. Def does not give "community's vibes and screams casual. Now to the coffee: coffee is one note! They try to embellish the menu by adding all these Asian flavors, pandan, cafe su da, ube, and even an Einspanner, but there was nothing special about their ube latte. It def was not worth the hype, the wait, and the overall experience. Literally tasted loke ube cream with cheap coffee at a party. Def will not be returning here after all that I encountered. They really need to make more of an effort to connect with patrons and make their coffee shop more warm and inviting! And if you don't want patrons to stay and have a place to sit, move to an underground food hall where it's just a walk up vibe or open up at a park!

    Cool vibes inside!

    This place lived up to the hype! I've been watching the reviews through social media and was excited to be in the area for an errand today. There was parking around but I did have to drive around. I went on a Friday at noon and there was only a short line. Inside, most people were waiting for drinks and there were very much to go vibes. I don't think I would want to sit and chat inside due to how busy it was. However, it was very cool inside and the merch was cool as well! I got a seasonal cookie butter milk latte with maple cold foam and cookie pieces on top and it was delicious. It was pretty sweet but they have options that do not look as sweet for those who like a more traditional coffee taste. Service was quick and the workers were friendly, especially impressive considering how busy they all were! I will definitely be back.

    The drinks here are so good but they lean very sweet and indulgent. Also be prepared to wait upwards of 30-40 min for your drink if you come anytime on a weekend or Friday. I've learned for the best experience is to stop on my way to work in the mornings on weekdays. But have yet to have a drink I didn't enjoy, the einspanner, jade, and corn specials were some of my faves.

    The einspanner
    Jackeline R.

    Definitely a good stop! Had been hearing about their matcha for a while and finally decided to give it a try. Parking is very limited, seating is limited, and the menu is as well. Service was great! There was a mixup in our orders as someone took ours on accident and they quickly and politely fixed the issue! It was a rainy day so maybe that didn't help, but the shop itself seemed very dull, the drinks were good but I would probably only swing by again if in the area.

    That Purple Stuff & Einspanner
    Michelle C.

    We came around 12:55 pm on a Tuesday afternoon and they were already out of a few items including the Speculoos, Golden Kernel, and one of the matcha options. I really like the modern, minimalistic vibe here. Merch on the left and seating on the right (both high tops and benched seating along the wall). Ube cream layering was very light and airy but did take quite a lot of effort to mix with the viet coffee which was VERY strong. Ube flavor was very subtle but overall was a good blend. I found the service to be very quick and efficient, churning through the long list of orders they have pretty well. Update: I've been back a few time since my initial visit and the coffee is very consistent. I've tried different flavors each time and they have all been excellent. I completely understand the rave reviews. :)

    If you're in Houston and love coffee, you have to check this place out. The baristas know wtf they're doing here. The drinks consistently taste the same. The streetwear aesthetic alone makes it stand out, but what really keeps me coming back is the quality of the drinks. Everything I've tried so far is 10/10! I can genuinely taste the difference. Their specialty flavors are so unique and actually well-balanced (not overly sweet like a lot of places). 10/10 recommend.

    That purple stuff & jade
    Kainat M.

    Great coffee that strong!! This is a popular coffee shop in Houston and I can see why! The coffee was very good! The foam on both drinks balanced out the coffee nicely. The jade had pandan cream and the purple stuff and Ube cream. It was pretty packed when we went and drink took a while to come out but understandable considering the line.

    Inconvenient to get to and the doors are frosted on the front, making the entrance feel very unwelcoming. 5 people behind the bar, one person in line and nobody greets you when you walk in. When it was my turn to order, I said "good morning, how are you?" and she cut me off to ask what I wanted. There was nobody behind me and no offer to explain the very limited menu. I ordered an $8.00 jade latte and stepped off to wait. The drink was good, and the only reason for 3 stars. The vibes are very sterile, with concrete/black accents and limited seating, but no bar hand off area. This is really just giving new "cool guy/girl" mid day coffee shop. Probably great if you're ONLY looking for coffee to go. They don't have much by the way of food, and there's not much available seating to sit and enjoy.

    Urban and busy coffee shop. A favorite of mine and a must whenever I am in town. Coffee was fantastic! 9/10 parking sucks though.

    I only got to stop by and do some work here for a little bit between an appointment and dinner…read moreplans, but my experience was good! This is a great spot to get some solo work done or meet with a group. It is not too loud, and they are located within a strip so parking is plentiful. Their menu had a wide variety of hot/cold drinks and sweet treats that you'd typically find in a Yemeni coffee shop, all reasonably priced. The pistachio latte was good, nothing extra memorable but it was what I was looking for in the moment. Keeping this place in mind next time I plan to work remotely from River Oaks (:

They…read moredidn't have a whole lot of variety here in terms of sweets as compared to other Yemeni spots back in California. Iced pistachio latte ($7.50) - This latte had a strong pistachio flavor and had almost a buttery feel to it. I really enjoyed it and it was one of the better pistachio lattes that I have tried. Dubai chocolate ($6) - This consisted of a large milk chocolate bar filled with rich pistachio cream and kataifi (crispy shredded phyllo dough). It tasted amazing and much better than most places selling these. Pricing was reasonable. Overall I enjoyed my latte and dessert. The interior has some Yemeni decor and there is quite a bit of seating. The only negative is that I wish they had more sweet and snack offerings.

The pistachio latte was not overpowering at all and you could definitely taste the nuttyness! Not overly sweet which is perfect for me! The pistachio mousse was very thick and rich. My party of friends all enjoyed sampling them both. Our group also tried their Mufawaar medium roast coffee with cardamom & cream (not shown) per the cashier's recommendation. We really did appreciate his rundown of the menu. However, the iced Mufawaar was VERY watery much to our disappointment. Very much everyone in my group's least favorite. The lotus milkcake (not shown) was delicious Interior I will say I was impressed at how big the space was. Very clean, ideal for some work / study. Beautiful patio outside if this Texas heat wasn't so terrible! Overall I have to give it a 4.2~/5. I think their cake selection is great along with their pistachio featured items

The vibes reflect their culture well and I'm here for it. They have a bunch of pastries and a wide range of coffees to choose from. I tried the rose Adeni chai. I don't know about the rose part of it. It was basically the a cold foam part of it but I don't feel like the flavor tasted like rose or anything, just had the pink color. The Adeni chai did taste authentic. I also tried the Turkish coffee and that was strong and bold. I don't feel like the taste was too strong for me though, it was easy to drink. I also liked the presentation of the coffee. They put it in a traditional coffee pot. If you like strong coffee then this is for you. I tried the meat samosa and it was crispy and the inside was a mix of onions and minced meat. It had a nice texture for me but the inside wasn't to my flavor of taste. That's just in my opinion because I don't like onions. I then tried the Knafeh cheesecake. The Knafeh wasn't as crunchy as I thought it would be but the cheesecake portion was just like an original cheesecake, tangy and rich. I enjoyed the cheesecake. I guess I was expecting of a more of Knafeh taste like the top would be like half Knafeh instead of like sprinkles. Nevertheless, it was still good it just wasn't what I expected.
