Maven

The 26 Best Coffee Shops in Houston

"Nestled at the base of the Thompson Hotel, Maven doubles as a coffee house and a cocktail lounge, meaning you can take the experience from morning to night. During the day, expect the classics, like espressos, lattes, cortados, teas, and its potent signature cold brew, which can be sweetened with homemade caramel, vanilla, chocolate, lavender, and honey syrups. Its morning menu, available until 3 p.m. Monday through Saturday and all day Sunday, also brings breakfast tacos, an assortment of croissants from Love Croissants, and for something super decadent, the Reggie Bar Brownie, a warm chocolate brownie loaded with caramel and milk chocolate-covered peanuts. Visit after 4:30 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday when Maven turns into a lounge with signature cocktails, including the crowd-pleasing carajillo, and a menu of munchies, including its Truffled Grilled Cheese, made with croissants." - Brittany Britto Garley
