Luce Coffee Roasters
1717 W 34th St, Houston, TX
Crema's Take
“Luce Coffee Roasters roasts its own beans in-house in Houston, creating rich, balanced espresso and pour-overs that reviewers consistently praise as exceptional. The warm, welcoming space fills with the unmistakable aroma of fresh-roasted coffee the moment you walk in, making it equally perfect for serious coffee conversations or a solo work session. With thoughtful specialty drinks like their tiramisu latte and genuinely nice staff keeping prices affordable, this is the kind of neighborhood gem that develops its own devoted personality.”

My Gemini AI (P) recommended to grab a coffee here before we (him, the AI, and I) start the “Arkansas Scenic 7 Byway” Scenic Drive. And was not disappointed at all. Amazing service, amazing atmosphere, jaw-dropping good special Cream American with a twist (a twist is the condensed milk which makes the coffee unique, aromatic and creamy).
Nothing bad to say about this coffee shop. I always down for a place that has its own personality. The coffee is pretty good. The staff is very nice and the prices are affordable. Now talking about prices. The only thing I would recommend for them to take a look at and maybe reconsider is their merchandise prices. They are even more expensive than Starbucks and that by itself is a lot to say. 40 USD for a tumbler? Yes, im lucky enough to be able tl afford it....but, would i spend that amount of money on a tumbler? NEVER! Pro tip: just enjoy the coffee and the pastries.
Luce Ave Coffee is an absolute gem. They roast their own beans in-house, and you can taste the quality in every single cup — rich, balanced, and truly exceptional. The space is beautiful, warm, and thoughtfully designed, but the real secret is upstairs. The loft space feels like a retreat tucked right inside Garden Oaks — quiet, peaceful, and the perfect place to step away, think, read, or get work done. If you’re looking for great coffee and an atmosphere that feels both elevated and welcoming, Luce Ave is the spot. Highly recommend.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Love the vibe of this place!!!! The smell of coffee as and when you enter this place will make you fall in love with this place immediately. We tried the tiramisu latte, it was definitely unique and worth trying. Friendly staff and provided good service. Plenty of room upstairs seating for working from cafe. Plenty of free parking space outside of store. Definitely worth it! I give a 5/5 rating for my experience.
The espresso here was really good. I got an iced mocha and typically expect it to not be great. This one was really good. We came early afternoon and was kinda disappointed they didn't have any drip coffee still. I did get a breakfast taco and pastry. Not bad. The taco do go pretty quickly. I almost got some fresh coffee beans but I had a new bag at home so l opted to not. I am considering getting some beans shipped to me.
