Java Pura Coffee Roasters and Specialty Coffee Catering

Absolutely amazing first experience here! I wasn’t sure what to expect when I pulled up to the back door in a business park, but what I found inside did not disappoint. Their operation inside is impressive, with all of their roasting equipment and beans on full display. They had a wonderful selection of coffee, including a Swiss water decaf, which I’ve had trouble finding. When I purchased, I watched her package the beans, roasted earlier that day, in front of my eyes and add the appropriate stamps/labels to each bag. As far as the beans themselves, they are quite literally the best smelling beans I’ve ever encountered. Opening the bag at home gave the entire room the wonderful aroma of fresh coffee - heavenly! Plus, the beans are incredibly uniform with no over or under roasted beans included (a problem I’ve had with other local roasters). As you can see in the video, the beans made for a great espresso shot pull with an impressive crema and delicious, almost sweet and chocolatey flavor. Needless to say, this will be my new spot for fresh beans. Please go check them out and see for yourselves!

This is not a coffee shop, but they do sell beans and sample coffee here. You will be able to tell as soon as you walk in. I got a few pounds of beans and they threw in a sample of some single origin, single farm beans from El Salvador, which was super nice. Also got a sample of the cold brew and loved it. The prices aren’t cheap, but I’m guessing a bit less than retail. Everything is super fresh, and roasted recently - quality stuff.

Java Pura is easily one of the best roasters in Houston!! Their coffee is DELICIOUS and they truly care about the quality of their beans. We went to this location (they cannot sell coffee drinks to the public) and Billy, the head roaster gave us a mini tour and mini masterclass on coffee and roasting. We got to do a little tasting of roasts and picked one out to take home. As we are visiting Houston, Billy was kind enough to even tell us some of his other favorite roasters in the local area. I’ve gone to many roasters in all different cities to try new beans and this was by far THE BEST experience visiting any roaster. Billy and his roasting team were delightful to interact with and were so kind and generous to us. Good luck in the roasting tournament Billy! Can’t wait to try more of your guys’ roasts!

My first time coming here after moving from out of state looking for a new local roastery and boy did I luck out trying this one. Richard, one of the business partners, told me all about how they source their coffee and showed me around the roastery and even gave me a sample shot of one of the espresso blends. He is clearly very passionate about coffee, which is a lot of fun. Highly recommend coming here.

I came in a couple of weeks ago to pick up a bag of coffee. The lady up front was super nice. An older gentleman came out of a side room and talked over her to assist me and then would not let me leave. I told the older man I needed to leave and he would over-talk me and tell me I know just let me show you one more thing. He was very rude to her which was not a great thing to see. I wonder if this is his family and that's why and to me. I debated on posting, my advice is if you want their coffee don't go in-store. The coffee was great but not the experience.

Easily one of the best local coffee roasters in Houston. Staff is super friendly, prices are extremely fair and best of all, the coffee is absolutely amazing. They have a great selection and wealth of knowledge in the coffee world and have suggested fantastic roasts for my espresso and pour overs.

I bought a bag of the Costa Rican coffee and was very pleased. It was so fresh, it was just roasted that day, and was only $16. I’m adding them to my monthly rotation for sure. They are always so nice when you visit them in person I would suggest stopping by if you’re in the area. I can’t wait to try all of their regions….Columbia is next.

Found this place through a Google search while trying to find local coffee beans. Definitely a hole-in-the-wall kind of place. The coffee tastes great, but more than that, the staff there are super friendly and down-to-earth, particularly Billy (I think that was the name lol) who greeted me. I got to see a bit past the store front as well, and got some great recommendations after explaining my preferences. Plus, as a decaf drinker, it's great that they use a Swiss water process for decaffeination. I'll definitely be back, if not just to support a local business that has really great people.
