Montrose Mercantile - Houston

Disclaimer: I'm on a hunt for the best cafe to work from as I'm working remote. My review is based on factors for a good place to work from and not necessarily the coffee or food. Overall okay cafe for work. Noise level 60db quiet conversation Wifi speed 1 down 1 up : Power plugs more than 10 Seats 30 indoors Parking free 10 lots The baristas were very friendly, they will greet you when you enter and leave. They made my day honestly. My coffee came within 5 minutes and was an oat milk flat white. They don't charge extra for oat milk! The place has soft background music and really nice for me to concentrate on my work or to read. The place is spacious, clean, bright and the temperature is kept cool. The bathroom even has a huge world map. The place is also dog friendly they even offer free dog treats. However the reason it doesn't get 5 stars is because this place has really limited wifi. My browser was struggling to load and definitely no video calls here. I had to work off of my own mobile internet connection at some point. I really enjoyed myself here and will come back for the coffee, ambiance and relax when I'm not relying on the internet.

Needed a place to read for a couple of hours between errands. Came in on a Friday around 10. No line. Service was so friendly. Loved all the baristas. I could see why folks would appreciate this as their neighborhood coffee shop. I splurged on an almond croissant. Omg. It was so good. So worth the thousand or more calories. I ate every last bite. People brought their pups in which I loved but others may not. The couch I snagged was comfortable and I enjoyed relaxing and looking out the window. Oh. And the coffee I chose was divine too!

I LOVE this place. It is decorated in kind of an artsy, but minimal way it's a great vibe. It's a lot quieter in here too, so it's really great for studying and cranking some work done. Their coffee is so good, and the croissants are great as well! The cost is MUCH better too than many of the other houston coffee shops (that are way overpriced). As far as the service goes, everyone is so kind. Graham is so nice too, and always remembers us which is so kind! We love this place! Highly recommend.

This is where you'll find me most mornings during the week before going to work. It's my go to spot if I am getting a latte. Like most coffee shops they have a variety of options for milk substitutes. If you're lucky enough to arrive early you can get tacos that they get from taco deli. In addition to other coffees, they have a large selection of teas. Several pastries are available at the counter. But once they run out, they run out. Perfect neighborhood coffeeshop that hosts live music nights and other things throughout the month.

This is my choice of local coffee shop when I want to get out of the house during the week or drop by for a pre-grocery shopping coffee. Everyone is genuinely so nice and you can tell. Quick, efficient, no frills. Good coffee. I sit and work here often, and watch the interactions between the baristas and customers. They sometimes have their regulars orders ready as they see them walking up. Ya love to see it It gets chilly though so bring a sweater hehe
