Blue Tile Coffee

Stopped by on a weekday morning. Plenty of parking and places to sit. I loved the atmosphere and the vibe. I ordered the seasonal latte they had featured and it definitely hit the spot. What really drew me in was the name and the blue tile theme, one of my favorite characteristics of Houston history. Would love to be able to purchase Blue Tile Coffee stickers.

Lots of drink options here. Good cold brew. A bit loud while we were there, I think the high concrete walls don't buffer noise. As long as you're not trying to Zoom it's not too loud for 1 on 1 conversation. Large sitting area and HEB is next door if you need groceries. (My pic shows eclair from HEB)

2nd visit - Their coffee tastes as good as it look. This my new fav coffee spot in Houston. Service and atmosphere have improved greatly. I ordered my double vanilla oat milk flat white and it was divine. Here is some info on the espresso: Espresso - Mild Medium; Locally Roasted (Best Roaster in SE Texas) Taste - Creamy and smooth with no bitterness or aftertaste Note - Toasty, Nutty, Buttery + and hint of smokiness Crema - Glistening Please note it is adjacent to a busy HEB so keep that in mind. Plenty of parking in garage as well. When I come to Blue Tile, I’ve completed my grocery shopping and I’m not, not going to get my vanilla oat latte or flat white and enjoy whether I sip while there or get it to go. 1st visit - This place serves delicious medium roasted coffee; espresso with a top notch roaster I’m very familiar with. The customer service was a little off putting but the lady making the drinks when my husband and I were there, she was nice. The atmosphere was stiff and not inviting I also feel like latte art because I enjoy taking pictures and posting online to free promote businesses but this is not that big a deal. Would I come back, maybe….but as a native I know where to find good espresso in Houston along with service. I would come back for the coffee but not for the service.

A Perfect Coffee Spot for a Quick Stop or a Slow Morning Blue Tile Coffee was a great find—ideal for grabbing something on the go, but also a cozy spot if you want to linger. It was our first time visiting, and we tried the cold brew (super smooth and mellow—a perfect intro to cold brew!) and the iced flat white, which had a well-balanced flavor that played nicely with the milk, yet remained strong. The space itself is airy and bright, with inviting shaded corners if you’re looking for something more low-key. The colors are calming, and the music hits just the right vibe for a coffee shop. Bonus: it’s tucked right next to HEB, Spotts Park, the Bayou, and downtown—making it an easy, breezy stop during a day out.

This is a lovely coffee shop! They have plenty of seating to sit and enjoy a coffee or pastry. I visited a few times and really enjoyed my coffee every time. The matcha latte and Viet coffee are both wonderful. The breakfast sandwiches are great, I especially enjoyed the egg white spinach feta sandwich.
