Penny Quarter

In looking for a new spot to brunch with some friends, this came up very highly rated by Yelp users. We decided to check it out. The bartender was extremely attentive & helped us right as we walked in the door. He offered suggestions and took our order. We wandered upstairs toy look at the place, it was really modern and cool. After touring the restaurant, we ultimately decided to take a seat outside, on the patio. When our food came out, we dug in right away. Everything we ordered was delicious. The spicyvegg sandwich had some sauce or mayonnaise that wasn't my favorite, but the other ingredients completely made up for it. All of the items were high quality & fresh. If I had 1 suggestion, make the sandwich more robust & add more egg, but the flavors were perfect. I will say I think, personally that the fried chicken sandwiches the most filling and flavorful of all of our dishes that day. We will be going back, good gone Penny Quarter.

I’m super happy about this place. It’s not very common to find a good coffee that’s served delicious and healthy food. The staff were very friendly and was kind enough to modify some of the delicious food into vegetarian mood. The place is beautiful and we were very happy with our visit

An extremely hip coffee spot with food and cocktails. I came here because anvil was closed. This place is perfect for studying or just hanging out to wait for Anvil to open. They're known for their Irish coffees and I see why, they're delicious. The sparkling wines are crisp and the Americans are like any Americanos. They have an upstairs sitting area where you have a great view of the bar and outside area. Service here is like no other. Service is fantastic and Cannot be beat.

This place is great, service is really friendly and always helping out (never had an empty water). With 2 floors it's a mix between cafe and restaurant and the ambiance is nice as the decor is setup well. Food quality is high for the price point and much better than most places that have sandwiches in Houston. The only downside is I wish they had chips or fries with their sandwiches but it's still pretty filling for a sandwich. Will definitely recommend to other people and be back.

Overall I would say Penny Quarter is good, but not great. I went for brunch recently and was honestly surprised they didn't have chai tea lattes with such an extensive coffee menu. The brunch food that I had was pretty heavy which was a bit of a bummer. I had the egg sandwich and tomato toastm My date couldn't even finish his egg sandwich as he added a sausage to it which was the equivalent of a burger basically. It's kind of funny to me as the atmosphere was very refreshing and light inside which did not seem to match the brunch menu. I will be back to try some of the lighter menu options but for a $50 brunch I was expecting more.

This chic hybrid of a café, offering coffee and wine, can be found subtly tucked away from the main drag that is Westheimer. Right behind The Anvil bar you’ll barely notice this new refuge for coffee goers, wine enthusiasts, and digital nomads. The vibes are modern and mature. The interior is a new marriage between urban warehouse and conservatory. The rafters adorn plants that get plenty of natural lighting from the skylight and the 10 foot industrial windows near the western entry. The space offers plenty of nooks and crannies to choose from. There is a smooth and clean L shaped wooden bar with high chairs. In the center is a marble island, across the way a couple of round tables, and a sofa with accompanying lounge chairs. And that’s just downstairs. Upstairs there is additional seating. Offering a sofa to kickback and relax, a soft extended bench, and additional two person high table seating. There is a broad outdoor patio as well. Menu is mainly lite and healthy fare. Offering bites from dawn to dusk. Service is swell. The team, from the baristas to the barbacks, left the impression that guest are welcomed neighbors. There is wi-fi. And a pleasant surprise, a clean restroom, although it is unisex. If I may share one gripe it would be that like so many other coffee shops and bars, the music was too loud to my likening. But Shazam worthy. Tried the Bicerin (an Italian chocolate flavored coffee drink). Presentation was nice. Drink was warm, smooth, but a tad under-sweet. Final remarks. Penny Quarter is a welcomed addition to the café scene in the Montrose district. 4.3 stars out-of 5. Well done.🙂

Great place to eat breakfast, grab a coffee, study, or relax with a drink. The tomato toast and pistachio toast are amazing and the coffee is smooth and delicious. The staff is friendly, helpful, and super attentive. Cant wait to come back and try all of their recommendations!

Great coffee shop with a full bar. They have great espresso-based drinks (I got their Cortado) and a good selection of wine and beer. Parking during the day is actually a breeze since Anvil is closed and you can use their lot. Their fried chicken sandwich was excellent. Penny Quarter is another great restaurant concept from Bobby Heugel that I didn't know I needed until it was here.
