Crema's Take

This Houston gem punches way above its weight with surprisingly spacious, uncrowded interiors perfect for settling in with your laptop, paired with locally roasted coffee and freshly made pastries that actually taste like they matter. The vibe is calm and welcoming whether you're working solo or meeting friends, with both cozy indoor nooks and outdoor seating, plus a thoughtful late-night schedule for those irregular creative hours. They've nailed the details—from quality 1883 syrups to a cream cheese bagel that keeps people coming back for years—making it feel less like a transient coffee spot and more like your neighborhood's best-kept working secret.

I found roast & brew looking for a late night cafe so I could get some work done. It had the perfect calm ambiance and a wide variety of menu options and drinks. The was indoor and outdoor seating and it was spacious enough to where I didn’t feel cramped, even though there were a good amount of people there. I’m looking forward to more late night study sessions at roast & brew!

Cool vibes and best cream cheese for your bagel! I’ve been coming here for two years now and something has changed between the coffee and service in the last few months which is why I can’t give a 5 star ⭐️ anymore. This is the 3rd time I’ve been disappointed ( my friends also but they can do their own review) The first free times is the taste is off on the drinks and I hate sending things back and the service is just not there like it use to be. Today especially, I asked for bagel double toasted and toast with butter. I received bagel double toasted , frozen butter on the side no cream cheese. Long story short I was told they can’t toast and butter the bagel. I advised the cashier who took the order so she doesn’t make the same mistake with the next customer- no apology provided .

Been here twice. I enjoyed the cheese danish they had. I would recommend this place, but the parking is a bit tricky sometimes. I think overall, it is a good place to swing by for some coffee with your friends or family

Love the locally roasted coffee and freshly made food items. They use 1883 syrups (the best around). The baked goods were tasty too. Great space inside to hang out and they also sell beer and spirits there too.
