I brought my little sister here today so we could play chess with @HTXchess. There were about 10 of us there to play. I met some awesome chess players including the founder of @HTXchess! Rachel and Matt from Paperco were so kind and helpful today. I highly recommend this place!

It has been a couple of years since I've last enjoy this establishment's coffee. A lot has changed since then...for one they now serve food. I decides to stop by today and see how the menu was and catch up on some personal work. I was surprised by the new set up was allowed for way more seating then my last visit. There is plenty of work space, though power outlets are limited to those seated at a table near the wall. Not a problem for those who are powered up or will only spend a short amount of time there. I decided to have the breakfast tacos (the vegetarian friendly option), which were very tasty. The coffee was pretty good too, depending on ones preference of acidity. I would give it a 4 and half star rating out of five. Like I said there is plenty of work space/ seating which can be hard to find at some of Houston's top coffee shop. So if you are looking for good coffee and a place to get some work done...this is a great spot.

Impeccable service and the best flat white I've ever had. The space is beautiful and has a few different areas for working, sitting, or looking at art.

I have never seen a coffee shop like this before. The atmosphere was amazing. Perfect for getting close to God and having some peaceful study time. The artwork ties together the vibe and is cool to see what Bible verses they reference.The staff are friendly and fast workers. This is a must see spot.
