Crema's Take

Annkello Kahawa is a charming Houston gem where passionate owner Collin has perfected the art of both exceptional espresso and creative matcha drinks, with their strawberry matcha earning serious praise as the best in the city. The intimate, carefully curated space—complete with thoughtful music and aesthetic touches—feels like a creative refuge for work sessions or slow conversations, and there's real warmth in how the team engages with each visitor. What started as a mobile coffee cart has blossomed into a destination spot that honors quality and community in equal measure.

This was my first time trying Annkello Kahawa, and the vibe was so cute. I can definitely see myself doing a work-from-home session here while sipping on some amazing matcha. I went for the strawberry matcha paired with a guava muffin. The matcha was spot-on—clearly ceremonial grade—and the muffin hit the perfect balance of sweetness. Plus, the croissant part was insanely buttery. The service there was great. I was greeted at the door and even though it was pretty busy I didn’t wait very long for my Order.

Great, I mean AMAZING Matcha! The best strawberry matcha I’ve had in the city. The vibes are also great- good music playlist, limited seating but if you’re willing to wait it’s a cool spot to sip and chill. The owner came over to chat and was super nice. I highly recommend this spot!

Absolute 10/10!!! This is such an inspiring story of a mobile coffee cart opening a business in such a busy and central location but the owners did an amazing job of maintaining the quality of coffee and service. I tried many of the previously “mkello” drinks and they were so good but it’s crazy to see how they are exactly the same in store too. The matcha is weighed out exactly on a scale each time and the coffee is such good quality with such unique syrups. Definitely try it out if you’re in the area, it’s worth the wait! Only issue is drinks are a little pricey but once in a while it’s not problem.

I visited because i saw this pop up on my instagram feed, it’s was new and hype. The parking was okay, they have the parking plot behind the building, free for the first 20 minutes. Nice decorations. Cozy, and chics. The place were crowded, not many spaces to stand to wait for the orders. They have various seating along the bar area, and the wall area. They have a huge mirror at the entrance for checking in (that’s a plus) with their store’s name on it. The drinks were okay, i have the matcha latte and the strawberry latte. Not so much matcha in the drinks, but i was okay. The staff were nice.

I can’t say enough good things about this Tanzanian coffee and matcha shop! Collin was absolutely wonderful! He was so sweet, welcoming, and genuinely passionate about his shop. He took the time to share a bit about the history of Tanzania and his love for it, which made the whole experience feel extra special. The staff was great!! Now, LET ME TELL YOU…I am not a matcha person at all—I usually hate it—BUT … their matcha completely changed my mind! We tried the signature AnnKello Kahawa Latte, Strawberry Matcha, and an iced chocolate cookie dough latte, plus a few pastries, and every single thing was a solid 10 out of freaking 10! The flavors were perfectly balanced, rich, and so unique. This place has officially ruined other coffee shops for me because nothing else compares. The drinks, the vibe-the aesthetic, and the service were all incredible. Hands down the best coffee and matcha I’ve ever had! Highly, highly recommend checking out AnnKello Kahawa Coffee Bar! You won’t regret it!
