Simply Coffie
733 W 24th St, Houston, TX
Crema's Take
“This espresso-focused spot in Houston shines with an impressive selection of single origin coffees that skilled baristas like Eric and Nick will pull as smooth espressos or craft into thoughtful milk-based drinks without heavy-handedness on the sweetness. Beyond the coffee, they rotate seasonal pastries and offer quality alternatives like matcha tea and cacao milk for non-coffee days, making it a genuine all-around specialty coffee destination rather than a one-note operation. Whether you're settling in for a leisurely pour over or grabbing a carefully made cappuccino, the care they take in their craft feels genuine rather than pretentious.”

Chocolate croissant was nice. They change their menu according to the season so those stacked looking pastry things you see in the reviews are not there now (typing this February 7th.) The mocha latte was not hot, but barely like warm and lacked a true mocha-flavor. (The chocolate needed to be way stronger. It tasted more like black coffee than a mocha??) I recommend the establishment work on their drink menu.
This is one of my favorite specialty coffee spots in Texas. The baristas (Eric and Nick) are top notch, the coffee selections are great. I've had a handful of memorable espressos at Simply Coffee. All of the desserts are great, notably the espresso Basque cheesecake or the plain Basque cheesecake, which was better than any I had in Barcelona.
Fantastic hot coffees of every kind. They have a huge variety of single origin espressos that you can do either as pourovers or milk-based drinks. We've had several different single origin cappuccinos and they've all been very different and very good. Very knowledgeable and friendly baristas, the shop is beautiful and has a very calm atmosphere, and the baked goods are also excellent. The also have a variety of really fantastic teas, including a couple I'd never had before. The iced drinks we've had there we were less impressed with, and it seems like most of the negative reviews are for iced drinks, so I might lean more towards their hot drinks. Also, their drinks can take a long time to come out, so I'd recommend going when you're not in a hurry.
Stopped in here for an iced latte and a pastry. The berry tart was delicious - would definitely get it again. The iced latte was also very good, but I don't think I'll get it again because they don't provide any sugar as a policy. So if you like to add sweetener to your lattes, you just can't. Also the cup was tiny. Clean place with friendly service, just not flexible with coffee options.
My new favorite coffee shop! They really focus on the drinks, and nothing there is too sweet for my taste! There is also a good selection on non coffee times such as cacao milk and teas, which are all equally as great as the coffee! Very clean dining area and nice sunlight from the street! Only complaint is parking isn a bit rough, but that's the norm for finding a place to leave your car in that side of town anyways! Thanks for the hospitality:)
