There is only one guy here who seems to be in a genuinely good mood and happy to help. I come in frequently because it’s down the street and they have some pretty good gluten free pastries and the coffee is amazing, but I have to admit the service and atmosphere is usually tense. I often feel like I’m bothering the staff.
Chill vibes await at this cozy spot with a pet-friendly patio, smooth coffee, and great atmosphere that keeps folks coming back!

How I long to savor the flavors of the Heights again, especially during lunch or brunch. My vegan gluten-free waffle with vegan whip, strawberries, blueberries, and smoked salmon with honey drizzle was a taste of pure delight. Lauren was our waitress and she treated us great. #heaven #foodie #heightshouston
A beloved spot with a drive-thru, frozen coffee, and macarons, but could use a baby changing table and better acoustics.

One of my favorite shops especially for the drive thru, frozen coffee, and service. The macarons are like a cherry on top. It would be AMAZING if their oatmeal cream pies were gluten friendly, because they look so delicious. The lack of gluten friendly options is the only downside. Of course they wouldn't be entirely gluten free, but that's ok for me (and likely many other people). The employees are always great even when you can tell they aren't at their best. They're always professional, polite, and kind. The only reason I have the atmosphere 4 *'s is the acoustics- it can get loud in there fast. But just like this rating, it's a personal opinion. Objectively, many small spaces get loud fast, so there's practically no helping it without making major changes. That's one reason I like the big patio. Still, I love this place! I hope it will be there for a long time!
Edited to add: There's no changing table in the RR btw!
They have almond milk alternative which is nice. The people are friendly and helpful. They also have snacks and pastries. They carry Clean Sweets pastries which is for people with food allergies, gluten-free, dairy free, etc... Cool artsy vibe with couches to chill on.
I have passed this place many times..and finally in a impulse, I stopped and ordered fried rice. Since i am gluten soy intolerant,I am sceptical of Asian food . But I was not disappointed, they fixed the food to my specific needs.. and I had a happy tummy. I will be back.
