LIT Java Coffee & Books
5018 W Broadway St, Pearland, TX
Crema's Take
“This Black-owned bookstore and coffee shop run by Dewanda and Angie strikes that rare balance between being genuinely welcoming and seriously good at what it does—the Brown Sugar Shaken Espresso and Matcha drinks are legitimately excellent, the space is spacious and cozy enough to actually want to linger for hours, and the owners are hands-on in a way that makes regulars feel like part of something. Whether you're coming for the coffee, the books, the weekly veteran meetups, or just a spot that doesn't feel corporate, this is one of those places that actually deserves its 4.9 rating.”
What to expect
Strong matcha and tea selection. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly spot, good for meetings. Family friendly.
