Nestled near the University of Houston, Fifth Vessel Coffee is a vibrant, artsy haven for students and locals alike, serving innovative brews and scrumptious bites in a cozy, light-filled space.
"Located next to the University of Houston’s Downtown campus, this vibrant coffee shop offers students a respite from the hustle and bustle. Its bright exterior, large windows, and airy interior make it an inviting spot to settle in with a laptop or a book. Order one of the house specialties, like the Texas Blossom, a cardamon and honey latte, or the Bonito, a sweet milk latte made with vanilla and cinnamon." - Brianna Griff, Brittany Britto Garley
"For the folks who just need a solid cup of coffee or jolt of espresso before screaming lyrics at Bun B’s concert, there’s Fifth Vessel Coffee Co. on the edge of Downtown. Double-fist an iced yuzu espresso tonic alongside a hot Texas blossom with honey to prime those vocal cords." - gianni greene, chelsea thomas
"Fifth Vessel Coffee basically functions as a chic extension of the UH Downtown campus. The small coffee shop has massive windows, high ceilings, warm wood and leather seats, and piles of books and dried flowers—more reminiscent of a painfully curated artist’s loft than a cafe. The coffee and snacks are pretty stylish, too. Specialty drinks like peach milk matcha lattes and chestnut syrup cortados and fun plates of whipped ricotta and smash berry toasts or croque madame sandwiches fill the menu. While the wifi is strong, there aren’t very many outlets. So, maybe writing an entire term paper or legal brief here last-minute isn’t the move, but a couple hours of clicking through emails over coffee might just feel like the chicest thing you’ve done all day." - chelsea thomas
