"Located at the base of the Thompson Hotel, this location marks Maven’s first outpost outside of a stadium. Diners can find small bites, quiche, egg bites, turkey sandwiches, and Common Bond croissants until 3 p.m., but the focus is mostly on cocktails, coffee, and other caffeinated drinks. Must-try items include Maven’s carajillo, made with its signature cold brew concentrate, the espresso martinis, and depending on how talkative you’re feeling, the Conversation Starter (zephyr, passionfruit, chai, mint) or the Conversation Killer (Nordes gin, lime, green chartreuse, maraschino). If wanting to explore more of Maven’s food offerings, visit its standalone restaurant in Sawyer Yards." - Brittany Britto Garley
"Location: Section 104 What better way to support the team than grabbing a couple of drinks at Astros’ pitcher Lance McCullers Jr.’s coffee shop and bar? Located directly behind the Crawford Boxes, Maven pours boozy frozen espresso martinis and shaken carajillos laced with orange zest. While these may not be the standard ballpark drinks, they will get you fired up to sing “Deep In The Heart Of Texas” with your fellow fans." - chelsea thomas, gianni greene

"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
"Co-founded by Houston Astros pitcher Lance McCullers Jr. and local entrepreneurs Juan Carlos Martinez de Aldecoa and Blake Fertitta, this stadium-based coffee-and-cocktails concept debuted in July with custom carts outside the Frost East Club and throughout the main concourse. It caters to game-goers with specialty coffee drinks and cocktail-forward offerings — notably frozen espresso martinis and other boozy coffee options — blending quick daytime coffee service with evening cocktail appeal inside the ballpark." - Brittany Britto Garley
