Crema's Take

This Black and female-owned Houston gem has reopened in the Heights with a spacious, quiet sanctuary that feels equally welcoming for focused work sessions or meaningful conversations over exceptional pastries. Their coffees lean toward the brighter, more acidic side with creative house specials like the Secret Squirrel (a nutty, nuanced blend), and beyond the excellent drinks, A 2nd Cup carries a deeper mission as vocal advocates for human trafficking awareness and community support. It's the kind of place where great coffee, homemade breakfast tacos, and genuine kindness from staff create an experience that keeps people coming back.

Great services, drinks and food. Place is very spacious and quiet environment. Employees were very kind and coffee and pastries were perfect in my opinion. Coffee is toward more acidic than bitter (everyone has different preferences on coffee)

Shoutout to this Black & Female owned coffee shop. I always appreciate supporting places that have a deeper mission, which they are big advocates for human trafficking and helping those in need. I enjoyed my time here with my friend. Lots of open space for seating and not feeling crammed if you want to get some work done. There is a wide variety of baked goods, coffee drinks, tea alternatives, & light bites as well. I love that they have vegan and gluten free options (yayyy). The staff was really helpful with accomodating my food restrictions so that I could eat something. You can get their yogurt fruit bowl sans yogurt, for example, which included fruit they have in season. I also tried their tacos where you can build your own and they have a lot of toppings to choose from. The music was great and they even had a kids “play” area. The parking lot is quite small but you can park along the side of the building. I would highly recommend this spot if you don’t want something too overcrowded and can be productive while enjoying delicious treats.

This is a quaint coffee shop with a big message. It’s very cozy and welcoming. They offer a variety of breakfast items including breakfast tacos and various juices. I will definitely visit again!

I enjoyed my visit to A 2nd Cup. This coffee shop has been around. I use to visit them at the old location so when I heard they saw they were opened again, I knew I wasn’t going to be disappointed.Their roast is medium roast with freshly layered toasty notes. I got their oat milk latte and an apple turnover and my husband got a vanilla oat milk latte and a breakfast sandwich. Everything was delicious. We will be back to visit.

Chill coffee shop in the heights area I had one of their specials, the secret squirrel, it had great coffee flavor mixed with nutty (almond and hazelnut) flavor but was on the sweeter side for me. Service is super friendly! Iris was warm and her coffee recommendation was most welcome. Atmosphere is great for studying or catching up with a friend! The large windows on both sides let in plenty of natural light. There’s a variety of seating from couches to armchairs to tables and chairs and floor mats. Their provided WiFi is not time limited and their seating is cushioned, which makes the space great for studying. There is background music but it’s not very loud. They even play music form one of my favorite artists - Cigarettes after Sex.
