Starbucks, of course, is the corporate behemoth of coffeehouses, and anyone who follows my reviews knows that I prefer small, independent, and eclectic places to franchise outlets, But I've got a weekly appointment in the River Oaks area, and I'm a bit stuck with this location if I want to get in some remote work. That being said, this Starbucks has the best atmosphere by far of the half-dozen in Houston that I've visited personally. The staff is always friendly, the bathrooms are immaculate, and of course there is a full array of coffee options (at prices that, unfortunately, seem a bit on the high side).
