Her Name Was Irene Coffee & Internet Cafe’
2104 Pease St, Houston, TX
Crema's Take
“Her Name Was Irene is a warmly run Houston gem where creative flavor combinations steal the show—think cinnamon roll cheesecake lattes and pistachio matcha lattes crafted by genuinely friendly baristas who know their craft. The owner's personal touch and welcoming energy make it the kind of place where you'll want to linger with your laptop or settle in for a real conversation, backed by consistently smooth drinks and an aesthetic that feels as thoughtfully designed as the menu itself.”

Love that you can pick from several flavors. I got the matcha latte with pistachio and really enjoyed it. Smooth not grainy at all. Baristas were very friendly and quick. Great locally owned coffee shop with a unique vibe.
I'm a frequent traveler who loves to indulge in varies coffee shop visits. I stumbled across this hidden jewel while on a business trip in Houston. I fell in love with the vibe, the coffee & the customer service there. Pastries was amazing as well. I'll definitely be back when im in Houston & it's definitely high on the recommendation list for those who love coffee & a variety of flavors cold or hot!!
I. Love. Her Name was Irene! It’s one of my favorite coffee shops in Houston. There is such a variety of flavors. Where else can you get a Cinnamon roll Cheescake latte!?! 5/5. No complaints. Excellent service and convenient location. Don’t let the construction stop you from getting great coffee!
Grab life by the beans” Yasssss girl! This coffee shop is not only aesthetically pleasing, the Latte’s captivating but the owner truly is for the people! ☕️❤️ I left my hands free pump set at home and additionally I needed to find a solution quickly to freeze my BM while I await my next part of my travels and not only was she willing to help me freeze my supply but she also allowed me access to the back room storage/garage to freely hand pump in peace. Traveling as a new first time mother is not easy- so it’s definitely love when women stick together and help each other!! I wish I lived in Houston just to be able to come here on the regular, but girl, I’ll be back!
Randomly discovered this little gem while running errands in town. The owner is a very kind lady that took the time to walk us through some of her bestselling drinks, along with ones that we might like based on our tastes. She explained to us that the coffee shop is named in her grandmother’s honor, as she was an avid coffee lover. We tried a Tropical Island (coconut + lavender) latte and a Butter Pecan latte and they both tasted great! Both drinks run on the sweeter side, so if that’s not your thing I would suggest just letting them know ahead of time. The setup is very cozy and reminiscent of an 80’s cafe, complete with a Pacman arcade cabinet and several board games. I was fascinated by all the bright and colorful decor.
