Maven
1717 Allen Pkwy Fl 1, Houston, TX
Crema's Take
“Maven strikes an elegant balance as both a hotel lobby coffee spot and a creative destination in its own right, where you can order a matcha latte that actually tastes amazing alongside inventive dishes like Lobster Chilaquiles Matcha. The modern, clean space welcomes both laptop workers seeking a comfortable perch for a few hours and cocktail seekers in the evening, backed by bartenders like Carlton who genuinely engage with their craft and test new recipes. While seating is intimate rather than sprawling, the mix of couches, barstools, and tables creates an upscale atmosphere that feels more curated than typical coffee shop fare.”
What to expect
Strong matcha and tea selection, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly spot, good for meetings. Light food on the menu.

Tried their chai latte, which tasted pretty watery The interior feels upscale with seating from on couches, to barstools and tables, to seats and tables. They do close a little earlier on Sunday’s and the seating is limited to the coffee shop itself.
