Houston Coffee Shop Series No. 1

Updated: Jun 20, 2019

Last year, I asked for y'all's coffee shop recommendations, and initially I was extremely motivated to get through my entire list but that quickly faded as days went on. This year, I've made it a goal to go to at least 3 new coffee shops a month and to help keep myself accountable, I will be making a coffee shop round up post each month sharing the new coffee shops I explored that month! If you've never been to the shop yourself, I'll be sharing the good and the bad of each spot to help y'all find your next coffee shop destination too!



I hope y'all enjoy! (If you know of a coffee shop that I definitely need to hit up feel free to leave me a comment, send us an email, or DM us on Instagram. Recommendations are 100% welcome 100% of the time.)

MERCANTILE


The Good

  • Homey atmosphere

  • Great spot to hide behind a book and sip on coffee

  • Lots of individual tables to work/study and seats along the window

The Bad

  • Music not fitting to the vibe and honestly made it a little hard to concentrate on what I was doing

  • Parking at Rice Village can be difficult to find during busy times. There's a small lot behind the coffee shop though.

  • A little pricey - paid $4 for a drip coffee (although it was super tasty!)
