Kefita Coffee

I love to support local coffee shops, and I'm really glad that I decided to check Kefita Coffee this morning. I wasn't sure about what I wanted to order, but the guy behind the counter suggested I try the Abyssinian Latte and an order of Sambusa for a bite to eat. It was my first time trying either one, and they did not disappoint 🔥☺️ I'm sure I'll be here a lot more in the future.

Looooooove this spot!!! The vibe is so chill and laid back. Very cozy, like a home feel. The service was great. The owner was very knowledgeable and welcoming. The spot was very clean and spacious. There are 2 levels. A lot of spaces are available. There is indoor and outdoor seating. There is also a balcony. Free street parking. Love the selection of music. I could have easily stayed there all day. It was hard for me to leave. So peaceful. I purchased the abyssinia latte (hot), sambusa and small donuts (carrot cake, caramel) which come as a pair. Everything was tasty. My favorite were the small donuts. OMG!!!! Soooooo delicious 😋 The carmel was my favorite out of the two. There are other flavors to choose from. I will definitely be back to try the flight and other pastries and food items. Check em them out. You won't be disappointed.

A nice chill coffee shop in a converted home with interesting twists on the standard fare. More spicy than sweet which is so nice to have over the norm. Not a very strong bean which could have made it perfect but still really good. Get the flight and try their specials.

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.

Vibe- Very cute coffee shop with a home vibe! There’s a nice amount of seating inside and there’s an outside space as well. Customer service- Great! Food/drinks- I got the ruby red that is an iced dirty matcha; it was soooooooo good. Sadly, it isn’t a regular menu item but it was made in honor of the co-owners birthday. Maybe they’ll bring it back because it was soooooo good 😆 Parking- There was street parking that should suffice.

Probably one of the best coffee shops I’ve been to in Houston. Cozy atmosphere and 10/10 customer service. They were kind enough to bring our drinks and food to the second floor. Every drink tastes amazing and the consistency with their quality and service is awesome. Give it a try and I’m confident it’ll be your go to coffee shop!

This is my recent discovery. I loved the cozy rooms each decorated differently. People can meet and chat or they can open a laptop and work/study. Their spicy coffee specials are great adventure to try. Great quality coffee and pastries. I loved the cream cheese filled pastry, super delicious.

First off, the place is so homey, might be because it's in a residential house that's been converted into a coffee shop, but besides that they did an amazing job of curating such a cozy vibe. The decor is beautiful, and the music they play sets such a great mood. I got the Abyssinia Latte and two sambusas. I think the latte has to be one of the best lattes I've ever had in my life! Kudos to the barista (someone wearing a beanie and glasses who was also super friendly) the espresso was perfectly pulled, not too bitter-and it was sweetened to just the right level.The spice blend was heavenly! And the sambusas were top tier as well. I have never been to an Ethiopian coffee shop before but I think I have to start frequenting them. Usually when I go to a coffee shop, I feel like I need to listen to my own music through headphones, and I always end up adding sweetener to my drink because I find most places burn their espresso making the latte taste bitter. But I didn't have to do neither of those things at Kefita! I was happily sipping my perfect latte and enjoying the music they were playing very much. I wish I was a Houston local so I could always come here.

Wow super cute coffee shop with roots stemming from Ethiopia. They offer a unique menu of beverages with pastries and breakfast bites. The coffee shop is a repurposed house with ample indoor and outdoor seating. It is furnished and decorated with Ethiopian decor. I tried a limu lomi which is lemonade and cold brew. An unorthodox sounding mix but omg does it taste amazing. The acidity of the lemonade and the coffee make for a beautiful mix. I also tried the vegan carrot cake donuts. They were unexpectedly moist. Kind of tasted like a bundt cake! This place is fabulous and I'll definitely add it to my list of coffee shops that I visit.

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.

Every time I come to the coffee shop, I am thoroughly impressed by what the owner is building. It's not just interesting coffees with unique flavor options (the namesake kefita latte is my favorite) -- it's a community. She showcases neighboring businesses with her food selection -- sometimes ones that I have never heard of even though I live a few blocks away. She curated a space where people work, enjoy & have deep conversations -- at the same time lifting other neighborhood businesses. While it's not inexpensive, the value you get from the space is so much more than just a drink. Midtown needs more thoughtful curation like this!

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:) )

Good baristas & relaxed, home atmosphere. We enjoyed our mini-Bundt cake (tried the carrot cake & lemon) with an oat milk latte. The latte was mild however, probably good it wasn't super strong past noon. Happy 1st year cheers to another good year.

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!!

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.

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.

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

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!

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.

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

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.
