"After five years of serving some of the city’s best doughnuts, Morningstar Coffee and Donuts in Houston's Heights is closing at the end of the month. Opened by coffee expert David Buehrer in mid-2016, it quickly became a breakfast destination thanks to its creative pastries and expertly brewed espresso drinks." - Amy McCarthy

"At Morningstar in the Heights, a dairy-free iced lavender latte crafted with oat milk offers a fun and fragrant seasonal beverage with a unique flavor profile. Guilt-free? Maybe not when paired with a few doughnuts. Find Morningstar on Grubhub and Ubereats." - Megha McSwain

It's a great location to spend time with family and friends and drink coffee with donuts. They have very fresh and delicious donuts. Also, you can reserve the place for your kid's birthday party and kids can dressing the donuts by themselves and having too much fun.

We really enjoyed this unique little brunch spot. Adorable atmosphere, great service, fun food and great coffee. It's the full package. For food, Our family favorite was the Korean steak and eggs breakfast but we also got two of the bisquets and thought they were fabulous. For donuts we tried the peanut butter cup and the blood orange. Both were great. We will def be back!

Delicious breakfast/brunch restaurant. It has a great selection of unique breakfast sandwiches, and even more original donuts (we had an old-fashioned, a chile pineapple fritter, and a goat cheese and pomegranate). Great for a tasty and quick bite.

Busy cafe with some of the best donuts in Houston and good Wi-Fi. Friendly efficient service, they have an interesting variety of donuts in unique flavors as well as sandwiches and other food. I had the goat cheese pomegranate classic donut, it was unbelievably good, also had some tasty matcha drink. Small, busy parking lot.

This place is chill and relaxing. It has an Asian fusion characteristic which is rare to find in H-town. Coffee was excellent, I ordered Cartado and it came out just as I have expected. Wife got the Scandinavian pancake balls and they were amazingly soft and tasty. For me on the other hand got the crispy rice and unfortunately not a big fan. It's a pity that I don't find the rice crispy but felt more like uncooked. Anyway I look forward to trying other dishes!

We came with four people and to kids. The seating is modest for small groups. I'd say our group was about the max size you'd want to bring in order to easily seat yourself. There was two tables for our sized group and a group seating area. Good ambiance. I ordered a specialty drink "The Golden Fashion" and my confidants ordered the specialty green macha both drinks were a nice experience on their own. Food wise went all out on the doughnuts trying yeast doughnut, old fashioned, and regular (obviously all had their unique toppings). They serve the doughnuts on a platter with pallet cleansers I recommend using them as it makes each doughnut experience much better and the doughnuts are less likely to clash and or cause you to dislike any of the flavors. We all are a piece of the Fluffy pancakes by GOD you must try them atleast one person in your group should absolutely order a plate of those. Amazing 😍 fluffy and light. The biscuit sandwiches were difficult to eat, due to the nature of the biscuit it was crumbly and hard to handle the group enjoyed theirs but it wasn't as enjoyable as the buns used for the double click sandwich. All in all there's something for everyone and I recommend trying atleast one of everything because you'll end up finding something you didn't know you'll like. I was very impressed with the complexity of the dishes and am excited that these plates exist and that the cooks are able to execute them.

If you are easily impressed by colorful donuts with adventurous flavors, then you'll like Morningstar. The selection is diverse, and you're sure to find a donut to satisfy your cravings, but I have to be honest. They were good but not memorable. Maybe I'm partial because I'm a Houstonian, but after having had these fancy and overpriced donuts, I still craved a simple, fresh, and hot glazed donut from Shipleys. Nothing compares period. Aside from the donuts, the staff is friendly and helpful. The dining room is chill. And they have a modest patio as well. I enjoyed the atmosphere of the cafe more than the donuts. Last plus, you can customize your own donuts for catering orders. That's cool.

Definitively worth going for the breakfast or brunch food. Portion is on point and overall delicious. The donuts were enjoyable and unique compare to many others out there. No comment about the service.
