Kefita Coffee

Tried Kefita Coffee in Houston and really liked it! It’s a cozy place with a nice vibe and friendly people. The coffee was strong and full of flavor. I also got to learn a bit about Ethiopian coffee culture, which was cool. A great spot if you want something different from your usual coffee shop.

The butter croissant and cold brew were pretty good. The donuts were more on the cake side but good as well. My friend had an espresso and chocolate croissant, he said the espresso was great.

Great place, cool homie vibes. Service was very nice and informative about community events they host. Coffee was great, I recommend the flight if you have a hard time choosing. My favorite pastry is the one filled with sweet cream cheese. Tried many different great items, the sambusa was heavily wrapped, kinda took the flavor from it, but could just be comparing it to Blue Nile ethiopian restaurant. Can't go wrong with anything else, it's all so good! They also have upstairs seating (inside and outside).

Inside this renovated home, the atmosphere is so fun and interesting! I had a sambusa for the first time. It was delicious! Each room upstairs had a different feel to it, the music was relaxing and the staff was so friendly. Highly recommend this place!

We got the flight (three cortados of different flavors) and absolutely loved it. So delicious. Perfectly sweet. The almond croissant was alright. I really liked the upstairs! It looked like an actual house and felt so comfy. Lots of space to study. Great vibes and music as well. I really recommend this place.

If I am getting her name wrong, I will be deeply sorry because the fact that one of the owners came out and spoke with me, ask for my business card to give to people, and let me know a little bit about the story of the place is so rare. I’m obsessed with coffee. And I will spend any dollar amount does not matter on good coffee. But it’s very hard to find good coffee that uses quality syrup and feels like the quality of the cost. I have definitely found some gems in Houston and this is new on my list and will be one of my favorites. I think your dollar goes far, and I would be immensely happy to support this business in particular because it is also woman operated and Ethiopian owned. The space is extremely unique and versatile. The neighborhood is also super walkable and they are pet friendly! I don’t know how this place hasn’t blown up and I’m sure it will but it also seems like a place that has regulars, which is very telling. Thank you so much for the experience and I will be back shortly Ruby!

Their cortado flight is a treat and comes in both single shot and double shot versions! Lovely place to have a coffee and enjoy the ambiance

If your coffee experience has become stale, I would recommend coming to Kefita. The coffee was flavorful and bold which sadly is not something I can say very often these days. The building is open and airy and bright even on a rainy day. Loved the experience of drinking the coffee inside. they had great music playing and the staff were friendly and inviting. The pastries are on the pricier side, but they were all delicious. The almond croissant was absolutely massive, but the nine dollars for it was a bit too high for me. The monkey bread was a little more reasonable at six dollars and also large and delicious.

If you're looking to switch up from your usual coffee spots, Kefita is a great spot to check out. With unique flavors and a quaint vibe, this is a good spot for either picking up some coffee or savoring some coffee while out with a friend. It's on the smaller side, so it can get crowded, but it's definitely a spot I'll try again. I got an americano with abyssinia, which was a blend of warm spices. I look forward to trying their coffee flight. In terms of food, they have a couple different snacks- I got the sambusa. I personally thought the outside was a bit too thick and the lentils were a bit too hard, but my husband loved it. There's street parking available by the coffee shop and non metered, which is convenient.

Stopped by Kefita Coffee while working from home and really enjoyed the vibe. I grabbed an iced flat white, treated myself to a chocolate croissant, and couldn't resist trying a sambusa too. The coffee was smooth and strong--exactly what I needed to power through the rest of my afternoon. The croissant was solid, flaky, and hit the spot. The sambusa wasn't my favorite; it had a bit too much pastry for my taste, but the lentil filling was flavorful and well-seasoned. What really stood out to me was the space--tons of room to spread out and work or just hang out. It's bright, welcoming, and has a really chill energy. The record player and curated music give it a warm, personal touch that makes you want to linger a little longer. Definitely worth a visit if you're into good coffee, calm spaces, and a little taste of Ethiopian hospitality. One cool feature: they offer a coffee flight, which is perfect if you want to sample a few different styles or share with a friend. It's a fun way to try something new. (I didn't get a pic of this but I will next time I go back and give it a try:) )

Such a cute fun spot. Plenty of outdoor space to enjoy the day inside is bright , cheery and clean. The staff is amazing and very warm and welcoming. The coffee is excellent. They had a pop-up Baker. @la.crumb and she had an amazing assortment of items. In addition to Coffee they offered best tacos and have a case of baked goods that they provide. I highly recommend.

Kefita Coffee was a good experience for coffee flights! Good customer service and interior is spacious area we found seats and it wasn't too loud inside.

Honestly mad at myself for discovering this space and coffee shop this late! This is such a gem!! From workspace to event space to amazing coffee and ambience, this is the spot for everyone! The service is efficient and super friendly. I could see myself hosting a party here, hanging out with friends or getting some serious work done. On a side note I fit the lavender matcha and it was 10/10! I'll sure be come back here!!

My friend and I came here because we have enjoyed Ethiopian coffee before. We decided to try the 3 drink flight and we really enjoyed it! This is a twist on Ethiopian coffee, where the traditional spices and flavors are actually syrups used to make espresso based lattes. I wasn't super interested in the cinnamon honey latte but I was pleasantly surprised that it was actually my favorite! This shop is in a large building with a ton of space, couches, books, and little board games. The area is walkable and on a nice day they have balconies and outside seating

4 - only because they're new. They have so much potential & room to grow! My barista, Soul was super helpful with the recommendations and welcoming. Of course, the ambiance is nice. I felt instantly at home. I love that the business doubles as an event space. Open mic night anyone? My drink was great, but my pastry seemed old/hard. I will definitely be back for events and an iced latte.

This is where coffee meets culture at home. The experience we had at this hidden palace is one to be spoken of during a coffee ceremony and not one just in passing. This is not a drive thru coffee fix. This is where you want to share ways in which you want to make the world a better place while sipping the warmth of the fruit of the tree of knowledge.

A great spot to grab coffee in the downtown area! I wasn't sure what to get, so I decided on the Addis latte which was a brown sugar and vanilla latte. It was delish! I got it iced and I would def like to go back and stay a little longer versus taking the drinks to go. Employees were nice. Love finding all these new coffee shops!

It's a cool spot for coffee - A 2 story house that has been converted into a multi-purpose space from the looks of it. It seems like they will start having live music from time to time as there is a small stage downstairs. There's a full kitchen and photo shoot room upstairs with different kinds of seating on both floors inside and outside. It was barely busy on this Tuesday afternoon. I tried their coffee latte with no syrup and only turbinado sugar and it was good. You can taste the coffee and it isn't bitter. The barista was really nice and easy to talk to. They have free water available. The wifi speed is fast. Had no issue with streaming Spotify and browsing the Web. Background music is played downstairs only. I'm assuming it's African-owned. As a Nigerian American, I liked the African paintings and decor.

Delicious and smooth coffee. The staff are knowledgeable and friendly and very pleasant. The Coffee house has several different seating areas inside and outside and is very comfortable. Would highly recommend and plan to return.

The best coffee in Houston for sure! We got the Cortado and cappuccino and loved them so much. The almond croissant was also amazing!

Absolutely love this coffee shop. It's very vibey and cozy in a two-story house with cute seating nooks. Friendly staff and yummy coffee

I'm biased, I love Ruby. And Kefita. I'm sad, I don't live nearby and don't get there as much as I'd like to. I've had a chai and a famous (Mom's) coffee and a savory treat and I'd order them all again and again since they're that good! I'm just simply familiar with the place so I recommend you go feel at home with them. Food Service Ambiance are all needed for returning repeatedly, and it's there.

Great ambience with a lot of creative that frequent the spot. I always get the chorizo breakfast taco, sambusa, and addis Latte with oat milk (good iced or hot) Upstairs is my favorite. You feel like you're in a living room! Sol is amazing!!!!!!

I absolutely LOVE Kefita Coffee! The coffee & food are incredible, and Ruby & Sol are truly the best. The vibe is super chill yet so inviting, it's my go-to spot. I'm there almost every day! Oh, and do yourself a favor: GET THE SAMBUSAS!!

The vibe of this coffee shop is calming and relaxing. The staff is friendly and makes the coffee very well. This is also a good place to have a meeting or coworking. They have a walk up, an outdoor space and indoor seating. Parking is offered on both sides of the street in front of the building and in the neighborhood. Make sure you visit soon!

Kefita Coffee is hands down one of my favorite spots in Houston, TX. Ruby and the entire family create such a warm and welcoming atmosphere--it truly feels like home. If you're searching for a coffee shop that offers not just great coffee but also a beautiful, life-giving experience, Kefita Coffee is the place to be. Plus, it's the creative haven I've always dreamed of finding in a coffee shop.
