This place is tucked away in a little neighborhood business area. They are definitely going for the green/clean eating market--all products are vegan and gluten-free, so whatever you are trying to avoid you probably can. They have a very nice menu of coffees and specialty drinks. I went more basic and ordered a latte with vanilla flavoring. A new item on the menu is crepes--they have a chef on duty until 1pm and right now they offer two kinds. I ordered the seasonal one, a pumpkin and fruit crepe.
The coffee was good and reasonably priced. The latte had a nice foam and the traditional little leaf pattern. I got a nice caffeine kick from it so I considered that covered.
The crepe came very nicely presented, with fresh strawberries and a tasty filling. The crepe was folded neatly. This is very challenging with vegan ingredients--most vegan crepes fall apart into little shreds even as they are being folded. This one broke up more than a standard crepe would, but it held together reasonably well and added texture to the ingredients. Altogether it was really a perfect snack, it was satisfying but didn't weigh me down at all.
You get a 10% discount if you ride your bike to the place--unfortunately not easy to do as there are no bike trails nearby, but it's a nice thought.
The bathroom was clean and ready, very nicely appointed. As was the dining area--it very clearly is set up to welcome people to stay awhile. The mask culture (lacking) is noted but I am not judgmental on this, since one can't eat while masked anyway. If you are looking for a Portland vibe in the Houston area you will find it here.
