Best coffee Houston:
How do these rankings work?
1. Cavo Coffee
Using their own freshly brewed beans from Cleo Roasting Co. and they serve them from specialty siphon brews. Their amazing cold brews come via glass towers that allow you to watch the four-hour process – if you’re hanging around for that long, that is. A real joy of a place.
2. Blacksmith
This must-visit coffee shop has an industrial vibe yet still feels cosy, with truly expert baristas. Why the name? Well, Blacksmith lives up to it by making much as possible by hand and seeking out the best purveyors for the products they sell.
3. Boomtown Coffee
This craft coffee shop roasts its beans in super small batches, so they’re as fresh as can possibly be. This is the sort of coffee place you want as your local. Plus, the staff are friendly and always happy to answer any coffee-related questions you might have – they’re that passionate.
4. A 2nd Cup
Coffee with a good cause, every purchase of coffee supports the fight against human trafficking.
Indulge in their specialty lattes like the “Sweet Toff” (English toffee mocha), a “Chai Fritz” (double espresso chai), or “Red Baron” (raspberry mocha) along with breakfast and lunch options served until 5 p.m.
5. Catalina Coffee
Catalina Coffee is a super spot for getting some work done while sipping on a perfect coffee (and even a freshly baked pastry, if that takes your fancy!). Their coffee comes from sister company Amaya Roasting Co. which has ethically sourced beans from all across the world, roasted from a light to medium roast coloration.
6. FIX Coffeebar
FIX Coffeebar serves up locally roasted specialty coffee from the Montrose district of Houston, always brewed to pure perfection. Tucked away in a small shopping center along Westheimer Road, it’s worth seeking this place out for their excellent drip coffee and espresso drinks.
7. Siphon Coffee
One for serious coffee aficionados, Siphon Coffee are experts in the long ‘n’ slow siphon brew method, giving you a super cup of joe each and every time. The unique brewing method takes about 10 minutes, but it’s worth the wait for a rich flavour you’ll be coming back for again and again.
