WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE! Houstons first Non Profit Coffee Company. Great space. They also have an event space. Covered outdoor seating. Great croissants. Very good cortados. Super cool friendly team. Highly recommend this place for both locals and out of towners.

This is a pretty chill place to do homework, hangout, enjoy a hot cup of tea, coffee, hot chocolate, and treats. I highly recommend the hibiscus tea. Our church group meets here and I have to say it was a hidden gem. I live in the neighborhood but had not stopped in until I met friends. I enjoy gelding back every week.

Nice place to hang out with friends, the ambiance was great. I could say that one of the best place to spend time!!!

Open and modern! The staff members were super kind. They have a lot of cute items (jewelry, purses, backpacks, tea supplies, etc) in the front. Things are a bit pricey but the oat mocha is pretty good.

Houstons only non-profit coffee shop! I love this space, the indoor setting is really nice and considering the times, they have plenty of outdoor seating as well. I love their fun drinks, I got a limited time mocha float once and it was good! They also have a bunch of merch inside the store and a little boutique as well! Oh one more thing, farmers market happens here on Saturdays!

Cool coffee shop with tons of shopping inside while you wait. Says non profit to end human tracking which is a huge plus and why we came. Mocha was top notchWife was sad they didnt have sugar free syrups but still delicious

Visited today for the first time and loved the vibe! We ordered a Secret Squirrel and a cappuccino, two eggs sandwiches and I bought a bag of beans. I was pleasantly surprised to learned that a bag of beans come with a free drip or cold brew. The sandwiches with chipotle aioli was really good. The secret squirrel was a pleasantly delicious drink but the cappuccino was just ok. I enjoyed looking and seeing all the beautiful and unique merchandise items available for sale. There is really something for everyone here.

I wish I lived in Houston just to go to this coffee shop everyday. Visiting from Southern California I had to make a special trip to this unique coffee shop. Th proceeded to this shop goes to the efforts to fight human trafficking. They have a store front boutique with cute gifts. But when I tasted the coffee AMAZING. I’m a coffee enthusiast and this was some of the best coffee. Great coffee for a good cause.

Everybody’s super friendly. I love their coffee and they have a beautiful gift shop inside. They also have a local market once a month called 11th Street Market.

Amazing spot to work remotely from. Great coffee and drinks and just a great place to support just for the mission alone!

I found this place the same way I find most places I end up reviewing: by typing coffee or food into Google maps and sifting through the results until I find something that looks good.And this place was good.The barista recommended their A2C signature breakfast sandwich and an iced mocha, the latter of which I had seen a few other patrons leaving with. They both tasted as good as they looked.The mocha was smooth and rich, but not overly sweet as many mochas I have had in the past tend to be. It was so smooth that I forgot for a moment I was drinking coffee. This is what I look for when going for flavored drinks. This drink must be quite popular because they offer it in quarter gallons to-go.The breakfast sandwich was, in a word, fantastic. The egg was to me perfectly cooked with a slightly thick runny-ness. The tomatoes added acidity and brightness to contrast the richness of the egg, creaminess of the cheese, and butteriness of the croissant, which was just the right amount of crispy.I would definitely order both items again and I recommend them emphatically.After enjoying my book for a bit, I helped myself to some water from their easy-to-reach jug, used their well-built, well-maintained restroom, and ordered a cappuccino.The cap did not disappoint and hit the sweet spot between sharp and smooth as the espresso and milk played together.On the food and coffee alone, I cannot recommend this place enough, but there is one other important reason you should spend your money here: they are an NPO that puts their income into combatting human trafficking. I find this to be both impressive and admirable, and I have included a photo of one of their many wall presentations that discusses this pressing issue.Well, I hope this was helpful and that I’ve convinced you to check this place out if ever you find yourself in Houston, fellow Google user!

Awesome environment. Nice covered outdoor sitting area allowing a good breeze. Coffee was great not overly sweet. Cool merchandise and tons of information about the fight against human trafficking, which they donate partial proceeds to. Definitely a top coffee stop and good parking.

Pleasant enough college hangout ... at least the days I visited.The blueberry muffin wasnt tremendous but the coffee is very good. This establishments chief virtues are the lovely location and coffee drinks which are good and also taste vastly different than Starbucks or Peets Whether you like that difference is a matter of personal taste. For me it was a pleasant ”change of taste .

Their food, coffee, and staff is AMAZING. Not to mention the work they are doing behind the scenes to help end human trafficking. Thank you for the quality coffee & food!

Very serene and pleasant atmosphere! I felt particularly inspired by the wall art which lended to the peaceful environment; the til everyone is free Tees - denoting an non-exclusive inclusiveness & freedom for all; and lastly the beautifully crafted jewelry, creatively woven totes & backpacks and yummy homemade treats all around. All of this in partnership with the AMAZING smiles that greeted us, makes this a very warm, inviting place to be! 🦋

I would give this place 10 stars if I could. Great coffee, great service and a great nonprofit

My ice latte was watered down and warm. They messed it up, tried to fix it, but just never made it right. Love the cause and mission, but workers need to improve.

Very cozy little coffee shop! Mochanut was fantastic! Definitely recommend!

Real good coffee and I love the atmosphere of the place

I originally went to print something out from one of their partners inside their cafe and add it smelled good tried some coffee& biscuit which were good.

1st time great tasting latte. Really impressed with the merchandise in the front of store which helps traffic survivors.

Cute coffee shop. Food and drink was great. Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating

Nice atmosphere! I love their charity work as well

Coffee and service is always great! Cool spot to get work done.

Delicious food and coffee, personable staff, chill/corona safe environment. Great cause as well - check out their site!Thanks for a nice morning out! 🌞💁‍♀️☕️🥖🥑🍳😊

The cortado here has a great, full-bodied taste. It is basic without being to bitter, and is balanced overall. It is somewhere in my top five favorite coffee shops in Houston thus far. I like how the place is spacious, and the decor isnt cluttered like many other places. I would enjoy chatting here, but the tables arent necessarily suited to working or studying. Also, I would not recommend coming here around sunset, as the sun shines straight through the windows and into your face.

Ive always been a fan, but the shop is a bit of a drive from where I live now. Drove out because I heard they were still requiring masks. And the wonderful people upfront enforced masks while being super attentive (not touching cup tops, cup top protectors, distancing). That on top of the great coffee, food and cause makes me wish I could give more than five stars.

What can I say. Amazing coffee, delicious food, great service plus a wonderful cause. The store of jewelry and other items is also awesome.

Fun variety of coffee drinks, hot or cold. Nice employees.

Beautiful ambiance, with room to breathe. Amazing cold brew.

Great coffee shop to collaborate and get some work done. More tables have been added and now, there is outside covered seating

I always have a great experience at A Second Cup. The staff is super friendly and helpful. The coffee is also really good. My favorite drink is the Sweettoff. I also love that the profits they make go to helping support women who have been trafficked get back on their feet. If I am going to spend money on a cup of coffee, I rather it go to a good cause and not some big corporation, like some other coffee places.

I knew Erica (the founder and owner) back when she was “just” a mobile coffee operation with hopes of doing something like what she has now built. What she has done is amazing and I love going in to A 2nd Cup and seeing it busy with customers who have embraced the mission and the product. I’m a drip coffee guy, and I’m never disappointed here, and the food offerings change and I’ve never had something that I didn’t enjoy. Kudos to A 2nd Cup for being a worthy, mission-based business that is serving great products in a nice, warm, spacious atmosphere. Oh, and the restrooms are immaculate as well.

Tchotchke!Good coffee, kind staff, roomy dining room and yes, theres a gift shop inside.There is outdoor seating.

My first visit to 2nd Cup. Staff was super friendly when I told them it was my first time. They told me how they are 100% charitable proceeds to stopping human trafficking in Houston. Excellent cause. Happy to support it. Great Joe as well. Went for the drip and Veggie Breaky Taco. 🔥. Sweet potatoes shredded like has browns with scrambled egg and black beans. Really superb. Outdoor tent seating was comfortable. Will return with added excitement.Leo

Simple, open, spacious neighborhood coffee shop benefiting a great cause. Lots of seating options to hang out, study, chill, whatever. A few sweets and savory items to munch on. There are a few creative coffee options of their own and they have a lot of adds to customize ur hot or cold beverage. Their espresso beans are pretty good, but lacking some of the uniqueness of other shops in the area. We enjoyed my Cortado and Flat White. Will b back.

Cool place. Friendly service.

Loved the A2C breakfast sandwich! A hot lavender latte was also delicious with subtle lavender flavor, which is how I prefer it. You could probably ask for extra lavender if you like a strong flavor

Love their coffee and space. Its a little pricey but generally worth it.

If you are in the Heights or any part of Houston this is the place to go. best coffee, best cause to support.

Interesting place for coffee! Large space, hangar like, very open concept. The tables were all full when we were there, so we sat on the couch, unfortunately it’s an old very weirdly lumpy couch, not very comfortable. The chai fritz latte was very good though!

Neat place to visit coffee, tea, etc. Some of the proceeds go for good cause!!!

Very friendly staff. We were there for printing which was very convenient for us but the place looked nice and the coffee smell also great.

New trending coffee shop. Nice place to chit chat read, write, relax and even organize a party, gathering or an event. Little busy place. A cafe with purpose. But main thing coffee was cold even when it was served hot and we were sitting on the counter and the taste was a bit off.

Had a good visit here. The interior is spacious, making it feel like a good place to relax. The latte was great. Nice place to enjoy a cup of coffee.

Place is really cute inside, but the coffee is not the best :/

Coffee house for a great cause ! Coffee was good not the best imo. Chill relax place. I would come back if I’m in the neighborhood.

This place has some pretty chill vibes! Recommended.

A 2nd Cup is a delightful, calm, and positive place. All the profits go to an incredible cause, so your coffee is having an impact in the world.The staff is kind and positive, the coffee os quite good, and the food is remarkable.They dont sell drip cofdee after4, but will discount the Americano instead.By the entrance you will see some merchandise, take a look, the stuff is quite good!

I’m not a coffee drinker at all and the flavor of this coffee is amazing!

It feels good to get a cup of coffee that has some flavor, that isnt so watered down that you wish you could add some coffee to your coffee. It feels even better you drink a good cup of coffee knowing that your money is going to help stamp out human sex trafficking.Today we spent five hours at the shop for a large event we were running. The staff was very helpful, the drinks were good, the food was surprisingly tasty, and the merch was trendy and cool (today the hoodies were even on sale). The shop had a constant flow of traffic that made it obvious they were hitting a cord with the locals. More than once I heard employees and customers exchanging pleasantries that made it apparent they were regulars. And I get it. Everything about the place made me want to be a regular too.There are a lot of places you could buy a cup of coffee. There are a few places you can buy a GOOD cup of coffee. But it is a rare gem to have a place where you can buy a good cup of coffee and support a good cause. A Second Cup fills the mug in every way.

What a great experience! Walked in for a quick cup of Hot chocolate and walked out invigorated to learn more about the atrocities of the human Sex trafficking ring! Please continue to spread awareness and have awesome coffee! Bless you!

Amazing Matcha Latte, no sweet as other shops, great atmosphere. Mum ordered expresso - so far the best from her experiences in Houston

Coffee with a purpose. Does it get any better than that? A 2nd Cup is by far my favorite coffee shop, not only does it support a worthy cause, the coffee is excellent and sourced from local roasters. The staff is friendly and it’s a nice creative space to work. For first timers, I recommend their Mocha Nut specialty latte. They also offer a small selection of food items and freshly baked goods. The Caprese sandwich is my favorite for breakfast or lunch!

Really good atmosphere and coffee. Like the space and the staff.

I liked the mint mocha drink & the coconut mocha was good too.

This shop has consistently excellent coffee. Their mocha latte is one of the best in Houston and their baked goods are delicious. They also sell a host of other items, all to raise money to fight human trafficking.

Best coffee shop EVER!

Lovely neighborhood coffee place.

Clean place. Barista happy an friendly. Cup with a cause.☕

Wonderful place dedicated to ending human trafficking. The jewelry is gorgeous and for a great cause.

Absolutely can’t get enough of this place. I love their mission and their staff are first class. They have several different items you can purchase that all support somebody somewhere.

Great space. I like how open the area is with lots of different options for seating.I like that they support abolition of modern slavery, I didnt know that going in, but its cool.Everyone was friendly and I think Ill return when Im in the area!

Cool knickknacks and great coffee.

“What ever his name is”. My name isn’t hard at all to say. Didn’t expect that. I’m a very patient person, I understand it was busy, but no need for that. My first time here and it may be a while if I come back. Flat White was very bland.

Great staff. Great coffee. Great manager. Great cause.

Great environment, terrific drinks, amazing breakfast quinoa! Please support this business - they are making great progress on an important and meaningful mission.

Cool, not little, coffee shop on 11th. This is a non-profit who focuses on ending human trafficking and slavery. They have events pretty much daily, including yoga, and event space available for rent. Right on 11th next to Andys. Free WiFi with interesting T&Cs. Had the Cold Brew. Reasonable price and not bitter and overpowering but still stout. Will return. Nice vibe. Plenty of spots. Only lacking a few more outlets.

Whenever I’m downtown, I stop here! It’s great coffee for a great cause!

Great place to come get some work done and enjoy some coffee.

Such a wonderful coffee shop (and wonderful cause). Delicious food and drinks, and they do a terrific job of being responsible and conscientious in the COVID-era.

I enjoyed my chai latte and I liked how there was ample seating and outlets. The customer service was mediocre. I appreciate the music level and vibe. Worth checking out, good study/ work environment.

Come for great coffee...COME BACK for the mission this place serves. Erica has done an amazing job making people aware of the stain of modern day slavery. As the pic says, it didn’t end it went underground. She spoke at St. Agnes and my daughter was blown away by the problem, the efforts to address it and by Erica’s passion to serve the victims of Human Trafficking. The Secret Squirrel is a perfectly sweet blend that allows the rich flavorful coffee to be the star. #TilEveryoneIsFree

Coffee ☕ for a good cause. Portion of the proceeds goes to fight against human trafficking

Fantastic coffee shop! We were delighted by the red balloons display when we visited! It made the perfect photo spot for Instagram lovers! We couldn’t resist the photo opportunities!

Decided to try this place for the first time a few days ago and I highly recommend it. Its a nice and cozy coffee shop with plenty of seating to meet up with friends and indulge in a great cup of jo. Also, they do have food on the menu which I plan on trying in my next visit.

Coffe teas sandwiches and tacos (food b4 330 pm). Closes kinda early, tho (6pm). Currently has canopies set up outside for seating.

Great coffee but I am especially hooked on their cookies. Also a good spot for some unique fair trade gifts.

Best coffee ever & every cup proceeds goes to end human trafficking. #freedom never tasted so good

Excellent place to have a cup of coffee and get things done 😃

Everything on the menu is delicious and the Mission is a cause worth supporting for sure.

GREAT COFFEE!

Cool coffee shop with a great cause. Must go place.

One of my top three coffee shops in houston! I love the atmosphere and what they stand for. The space is huge and roomy enough to hold meetings. The air is always a good temp. They don’t mind if you bring in your kids or just chill all day on your computer. It’s definitely a community spot and wonderful place to get involved in local activities or outreach programs

Strong coffee, and I love that they stand for a good cause thats all I needed to keep me coming back, even if youre a heavy coffee drinker like me I suggest you drink whatever you order slow cause itll sneak up on you

Lots of patio space...nice warm atmosphere....very neat and orderly

I love coming here for so many reasons! It’s a great place to do work, study, or just hang out. They also host some events every once in a while and getting to see that ir be a part of it is so much fun. I also really love what they stand for! This is my go to place whenever I really need to get some work done or just need to have some down time. And their coffee is great! Love the vibe here. Great environment!

Great iced coffee and iced tea, and the croissant was lovely! And the little shop selling local goods was very cute.

Great customer service and nice, comfy setting. Also great freaking coffee and an amazing cause!!!!

I stop in often because they have great coffee variety, tasty food selection, enthusiastic and friendly service! Love the unique items that are available in their shop.

I love this coffee shop. Its become my favorite hangout/reading spot in Houston. The coffee is fresh and the food is tasty. They have a really good breakfast bowl. The coolest thing about this place is that they are a non-profit organization that uses money they make to stop human trafficking. They also have educational workshops and free yoga on Thursdays. This is a coffee shop worth supporting.

My favorite coffee shop in Houston! Lately I’ve been getting the iced mochanut and a veggie breakfast taco. I’m telling you these two items couldn’t be more perfect. I love how tasty their lattes are and how they are never too sweet.

The coffee was great and the staff were amazing! Love the coffee we order the Secret Squirrelu2028 and the Mochanutu2028 both were delicious! Definitely will be coming back most likely to shop at there store (So many unique items!)

Came here in the period of a year since I sort of forgot about it, but that I wasnt disappointed from the standard of meals given. The consistency theyve kept in that year is amazing and Id definitely suggest this location to get a wonderful breakfast/brunch. As a powerful breakfast foods connoisseur, their omlet is amazing!!

This place is fantastic! They are doing all of this to end human trafficking. Love that they have all of their partnering organizations and ministries up on display. Also have amazing products for sale to raise funds as well. Will definitely be pointing people here in the future.

Great Andys peppermint mocha! Awesome cause to support!

It was nice,food was good i just tought $14 for a latte and a sandwich was a bit much!

Quick service, friendly smiles, and a large space for lounging!

Great people, great coffee, GREATER purpose.

Great coffee, delicious tacos, and good people with a clear mission. What more could you ask for?
