Cant believe Ive never left them a review but here it is. The guys here are great, it feels like youre hanging out with friends. There isnt an overwhelming amount of food choices but each item is delicious! The muffin rings are awesome, the coffee has so much flavor and is not too sweet unlike your typical coffee place. Thanks john for the skellington surprise in my coffee!!

This place is my SAVIOR in the morning! I am a teacher at the high school down the street and I love the coffee and kolaches here. However, the best part about this place is the kind and wonderful employees that work here. They know me by now, and they are always so nice to me. Consider tipping them! It can be really busy in the mornings and they have a relatively small staff. They work very hard. Thank you, Grindhouse!

Good coffee and food. Outstanding staff and service. I went in today. An Adriano for myself a kolacheandmochs for my friend. The Americano was goodly friend loved her ice much and Kolache service was fast friendlyThe amazing part.The amazing part happened after I left; I accidentally tipped a 100$and didnt notice until a few hours later. They had already corrected it. My only suggestion would be vegan choices. Service always takes the experience to the next level

This is such a great coffee shop!!! They make the best donuts, all fresh made in house by hand. Theyre simply amazing. The coffee is always deliciously on point and theyre good at foam decorations, hearts, smiley face, little cat. Just a wonderful experience every time. Thanks guys!!

Stumbled upon this coffee shop out of sheer luck being in the area and searching google for coffee nearby. Can’t even explain how grateful I am that I did! What a pleasant surprise!I had a delicious Mayan mocha latte and spicy kolache. Coffee is pictured below, which came out beautifully made and with some of THE BEST coffee art I’ve seen! Cashier was super pleasant and all was reasonably priced.Will definitely recommend this place to friends and make my way back here! Thank you, Grindhouse, for some of the best coffee I’ve had in Houston!#coffee #café #grindhouse #kolaches #coffeeart #houston #htown #htx

Stopped by this place at work for a quick cup of coffee, not only is the staff incredibly friendly, but they have a large selection of coffees and pastries to choose from. will definitely be visiting more often! I’m working in the area for the next couple months and this will for sure be my go-to coffee shop. Prices are very reasonable as well

Best kolaches on the planet! And of course the coffee is superb. None of that funky aftertaste you get with the national chain. That is, if you really love coffee-just coffee. Support local 😊

I love this little coffee shop! I had this pecan pie latte (which is just as heavenly as it sounds) along with an egg sausage cheese jalapeño kolache, and both were excellent!! This place is cozy and a nice place to sit for a while. Ill definitely be back to try a donut to two! 💖

The two men and lady are so kind! I work at jack in the box in the heights area so sometimes I try to catch them before they close at 1pm and they dont rush me and one time the man gave me extra donuts(so sweet) I feel welcomed when I go there especially after having to wait at the bus stop on corner in heat lol! Keep up the good work and great customer service!!! God bless!!!

In Houston, sometimes it feels like good coffee comes with the price of a long wait in line. Unfortunately, many excellent coffee houses have a 15-30 minute wait before you can even order. At Grindhouse, however, the wait is reasonable and the coffee is great. The flavor of a plain latte is sweet and not bitter; no flavors needed. The staff are also friendly and down to earth. The owner is often working behind the counter with his staff. They have been accommodating to my weird coffee preferences as well, and I always feel welcome here. Great coffee house!

Really love this place! Friendly people who take pride in their work. Plus they have fresh made kolaches and donuts! My favorite thing though is when I was pregnant or nursing I could get decaf lattes, which are not offered through Starbucks or some of the other local coffee houses.

Amazing coffee shop! Great customer service and atmosphere. Johnathan was an absolute pleasure and whipped me up the best latte I had ever had in my life! If you havent been here before, youre missing out on quite possibly the greatest coffee shop in all of Texas. I used to think coffee wasnt that great of a beverage, and sandwiches were a sub par food, but after coming to Grind House, I am a changed man. This place changed my life, and I will never look at coffee the same way. Thank you Johnathan and the rest of the Grind House staff!

Not many coffee options, only two. I mean coffee shop I expected more. Ordered a cafe auit and I had pour my coffee in the cup then give back to them to add the steam milk...WTH is that. The kolache was so-so, a lot of bread and a little skinny sausage. I like to support small businesses but sorry guys you need to improve.

Great space to hang out and get some quick stuff done online. Very friendly staff, from what it looks like they have tons or regulars that they know by name. Feels good to see and receive great customer service. My favorite is the Big Texas Sausage and Cheese Kolache. Prefer the hot drink here due to the iced coffee being prepared already before you order it. Good parking considering most people are to go orders here. Highly recommend this hidden gem on this busy road.

My wife & I were some of the first customers to go check this place out and we havent stopped going back for more. We always enjoy having lunch at GH. And its always great to see the owner Tony. They love to improve the menu so if they dont have something you want just talk to the staff, maybe next time you show up they will have a specialty item for you. The best local coffee & all of the food is delicious!! I highly recommend the Chicken Salad Sandwich or The Cuban Sandwich 👌💯

SO happy to have found this place this morning!! The staff was helpful and actually seemed to be enjoying their work. I had a hazlenut macchiato and wanted something to eat with it. They suggested the fritters and once he told me maple bacon i was SOLD. The coffee was good - they know what theyre doing and the fritters.. YUM!!! I will definitely be back. Thank you for understanding customer service and making the experience enjoyable!!

I live in Virginia and was visiting Houston for the first time just a few weeks ago. Grindhouse was a convenient mid-point for me and my family to meet a friend who we havent seen in a long time. Not only was the coffee wonderful, but the owner was super kind and helped make our visit together wonderful. The environment is so pleasant for conversation - something that is hard to find these days. Im SO glad we stumbled upon Grindhouse. Our time there as friends was a highlight of our trip, and the kindness expressed by the owner will always be remembered. Thank you!
