  1. Taft Yummy but boring if you don't know anyone
  2. Catalina Probably the best one really.
  3. Starbucks Why? Because of Starbucks girls! Downtown only.

  1. Diedrich best ice coffee ever
  2. Antidote excellent ice coffee, expresso shots during happy hour!
  3. Starbucks anti-fan for years, but they have a drink that has 5 shots of espresso on ice with a little milk and sweetener for 3.03
  4. Agora good coffee, but likey the rudest (owner) management anywhere. some excellent jazz on the jukebox but Abba played far too often
  5. Brasil good coffe, supporter of live jazz on Monday, Wednesday, and now Sundays

Coffe Groundz, Best coffee and service in town. Great place to meet.

House Of Pies. Because it's not some trendy elitist hangout, and because their coffee is good for a hash house. Best slice of pie in H-town, if not anywhere.

DavidinPearland Tue, 05/10/2011 - 11:04am

Have to agree with your post here. HOP is a H-town original!!

Weavedog Tue, 05/24/2011 - 2:09pm

you've lost your mind. To even mention House of Pies coffee in the same sentence as places like Catalina is insane. Hey which do you like better? A Porsche 911 or a Chevrolet Cobalt?

Uhh, paying twice the price for a cup o' joe doesn't necessarily make it better. I appreciate the gourmet coffees but personally I get more gratification by going to HOP for a slice of pie and cup of black than waiting in line with people who are looking down their noses at me.

Pearland Coffee Roasters - great espresso.
Agora - awesome coffee...not enough seats.
Starbucks - river oaks non drive thru. The baristas actually care.

Nate Wed, 08/18/2010 - 12:41pm

Catalina is prob the best in Houston.
Inversion, Brasil, Taft are also very good - partly because all are so extremely close to home and have a real Montrose vibe (the one Austin attempts, but #Epicfail).
Guadalupana's cinnamon coffee definitely deserves mention also!

Pearland Coffee Roasters, a great place to hang out too,

Lu Wed, 02/09/2011 - 7:24am

Tuscany coffee hands down- it is a pain to get to if you do not work in Greenway- but worth it.

Sebastian Thu, 03/03/2011 - 9:01am

Any coffee lovers should make a stop at Greenway Plaza and grab a cappucino from Tuscany Coffee (now called Greenway Coffee). Absolutely the best artisan coffee in Houston.

sarcasticbob Mon, 04/11/2011 - 12:42pm

Bizarre that a Pearland coffee shop appears on a list of Houston coffee shops. Someone screwed up...

FRANKIE SAYS RELAX Fri, 05/06/2011 - 10:06am

Um...Ben and Jerry's has amazing coffee drinks. *hangs head*

DavidinPearland Tue, 05/10/2011 - 11:10am

My new favorite place for coffee is The Egg and I in Meyerland. Love their house coffee:) They also have a five cheese omelette that's to die for!!!!!!

bennyb Thu, 06/30/2011 - 9:29pm

Glad to see someone mentioned The Egg. The one on Tomball Parkway is also a good (very) coffee stop.

MGM Grand Las Vegas coffee ever!!!!

The best coffee? The one that goes down my gullet (sp?) the morning after too much sippy sippy.

kros Sat, 06/09/2012 - 7:12pm

Greenway Coffee is easily the best coffee
2nd place is Double Trouble
3rd place is Catalina
