The baristas are always super nice. The establishment is clean and has a indoor/outdoor seating, outlets, and restrooms available. Parking can sometimes be limited. Before work, I'd often get an iced dirty chai. Their espresso is so delicious and pairs well with the chai flavor. Now, whenever I'm back in Houston, I like to get either a cubano or an iced cajeta latte. During this visit, I got an iced cajeta latte less sweet. Such a perfect dessert coffee that actually wakes you up too. My affinity for Black Hole Coffee isn't just nostalgic (since I previously came here to study and for prework pick-me-ups), but the coffee is always great. I'll always make time to stop by when I'm in Houston!

My family and I got a quick coffee and breakfast here, sampling many of the pastries and a couple…read moreof the drinks. Three got mochas, while I got a honey lavender latte. We all ordered different milks -- whole, skim, coconut, and oat -- and they were able to accommodate all of us! I really liked my iced latte, which was rich without being overly floral or sweet. The pastries were also a hit, including the lemon poppy muffin, cherry turnover, chocolate croissant, and the spinach, mushroom, and cheese danish. The outside of this coffee shop and apothecary doesn't exactly have curb appeal, but the inside is bright, clean, and stylish, combining sleek lines with softer botanical elements to create a welcoming space. The barista was... indifferent at best, borderline unfriendly at worst. We did ask a couple questions that seemed to irritate her, but we were the only people in there, so we weren't holding up a line or anything. It was a bummer to feel unwelcome, but we were getting the coffee and pastries to go regardless, so it didn't ruin our breakfast.

The coffee is good and they have unique syrup flavors like fruity pebble and toffee cake. Cute indoors with plants and very earthy tones. Great service.

this is a cashless business…read more the service was great (coffee shop edition of great.. ya know chill, informative.. but never performative lol) i ordered a snickerdoodle latte and avocado toast. my latte was killer!! avocado toast is avocado toast- it's great if you love it . it was pretty busy when i stopped in, and it was pouring down rain. there is a lot of seating and that ideal for people if they want to bring a device and get cozy. would def recommend and will be back for another latte soon!! bonné appétit c.

The poor barista was alone while the guys around her just hung out and chatted while she tried to get out all the drinks. When it hit the 20 min mark I asked her what the status on our order was and she shrugged and said "sorry you're just going to have to wait" So I waited for a late that came out kids temp instead of an adult craft coffee temp.

New favorite coffee/study spot in Houston! This place is (I…read morethink?) in Montrose area, and a gem with parking both in front (with spaces) and street parking available. The baristas/servers are so friendly, and the shop truly feels homey. Perfection for studying, with inside ample tables/chairs with nearby outlets as well as some comfy chairs and a couch. There's also a cute covered outside area which I'm sure I'll experience post summer time. They have a few yummy looking food options at a great price point - including tamales and baked pastries. I picked the chicken tamale as a light lunch - I got the most delicious chicken tamale I've had thus far, served with kettle crinkle chips and a tamale sauce to dip. There are many coffee/non coffee options. I opted for the iced horchata latte - agree with prior reviewers that this is delish. It is not too sweet and a great blend of vanilla and cinnamon that masks the espresso. The atmosphere here is cozy but focused, with a mixture of people working/studying and hanging out. 10/10 will be back.

It is in a home-like structure with quirky furniture, but it makes me feel very much at home. The workers are also super nice and accommodating. The coffee is very reasonably priced and delicious. I always get their Horchata Latte---it is a perfect level of sweetness and the cinnamon complements the espresso perfectly (and it's only $5.50)! They have a variety of other drinks and pastries too, that I haven't been able to try. I highly recommend coming to study/catch up with a friend. There's a lot of coffee shops in the Montrose area but this has been one of my favorite.

This place was definitely at some point a home. But you know Houston and it's no zoning so a coffee shop. Any rate. They service lots of tasty looking pastries. I resisted because it was late but I will be back to try them. They also sell Agora branded trinkets. I ordered a cappuccino with oat milk. Um it was made to perfection. Now they didn't have any stevia so womp womp but they have regular sugar. I think they offer wifi because there were lots of folks in there with their laptops. There's no dedicated parking but street parking.

Cafe Leonelli was clean, spacious and filled with natural light. Outdoor seating was also available. An array of foods was displayed behind glass (i.e. pizza, sandwiches, desserts).

Such is the price of convenience.

Parking can be ridiculous sometimes (their parking lot is a bit confusing in my opinion), but there is lots of seating both inside and outside. Staff is nice and they have a good selection of coffee, matcha, other drinks, and pastries/snacks. I met up here with friends around 10pm and there were still plenty of customers in the cafe. The iced fruity pebbles latte was yummy and really did taste like cereal milk. In my opinion, the coffee taste is good/not bitter but it isn't that strong and probably won't give you the caffeine you want. Also, although the paper straws are cute, they got soft really quickly and you end up with a soggy straw. This is a nice coffee shop for ambiance, but there are definitely other cafes in Houston with better coffee.

I'm very delighted that I've found a coffee shop that has a pistachio drink that actually tastes like a pistachio! The customer service was fantastic, the restaurant offers indoor and outdoor seating, although not as spacious as many coffee shops it's still manageable, and we saw online that they offer monthly barista classes. I most definitely plan to return to this establishment!
