Fantastic cappuccino. And the doughnuts were delicious. Cinnamon not too sweet. Just the perfect sweet to go along with the cappuccino.

The coffee was great. Price was competitive to Starbucks or any other nice coffee shop. Nice lounge music and hanging paintings for sale.Came back not too long ago and still a great option.

Serving from the door (COVID SAFE), but excellent customer service and a wonderful cup of joe.

Quaint coffee house off of Montrose and next to the Art League of Houston. Many interesting pieces of art displayed, whole beans, food and great people watching. Cappuccino was fabulous.

I miss the inside but the walk up is lovely. 14/10

Here coffee is made like art, good place to hang out with friends

Great coffee and really nice latte art! Lovely and friendly environment definitely recommend in the Houston area!

Small, local, diverse place. The service was friendly and the coffee was good. It was a smooth and flavorful cup of coffee.

My favorite coffee shop. If you are looking for place to study, this will do. Large window and quiet environment. Parking is big enough.

One of my favorite coffee shop in Houston! Pastry is meh, but OMG 😍 coffee is amazing! Free WiFi available as well. I can stay there all day and be happy. Food truck comes to the parking lot if you get hungry. Green tea latte is one of my favorite thing to get from there. I am usually hyper critical when it comes to ramen and matcha, but they have done a great job not overly sweetening the latte and killing matcha flavor with sugar. Give this place a try!

Got a rose chai tea, delicious! This is a great spot for studying.

Great place to study. Concise coffee menu, a few pastries, but huge open windows, plenty of light and plenty of places to sit. One large table and a few 2 tops but mostly bar style seating throughout.

Good for small bites and coffee. Over all pretty satisfied

Certainly a top place in the area. I look forward to a return visit. Prices are appropriate for the quality. Kinda of like a cafe in Phoenix that I enjoyed.

Yummy coffee, free internet. The honey badger flat white and the toaster latte were really nice.

Definitely worth a look. This place is great, and the accompanying art gallery is a wonderful experience every time

If you want a place to with with a laptop solo its for you. If youre meeting just one other person, this place seems great. If you have kids - find another coffee shop. Mostly stool seating, didnt see any high chairs and I got lots of side eye from other customers for being there with my one year old. People working there were very nice! The latte was pretty good and the donut I split with the offspring was good

Nice service, quiet sitting area both inside and outside. Easy parking right outside as well. I enjoyed the access to the art gallery from inside the cafe. One of the better coffee shops in Houston. Good product and experience but not amazing

Great coffee!!! Its a good cozy place to work or study. I just wish they were open late.

This place is so nice! They have so many options and the portions are enormous. Many things we had were delicious: meringue lemon tart, artichoke salad, roast beef, dirty rice, Texas toast... But the broccoli was overcooked and I swear the macaroni and cheese had sugar in it instead of salt. Very odd! But, overall, it was fun and yummy. I definitely want to go again. Lastly, Im so happy they have bike racks! It is the perfect place to stuff your face after a long ride. :)

The atmosphere of the place is nice and this may be a nice place to eat or study, but the barista was very lackluster. The cortado, which is already a relatively small drink, was not filled to the top and was very lukewarm right off the bat and left a weird aftertaste. I was told the latte was good but my experience overall was not the best. I probably wouldnt come here again.

The coffee is really good, but could probably use a little more staff

Love this place! Always come here for some coffee and to work on my assignments. For the most part, its a good place to study during the weekdays, but very crowded during the weekends, so definitely not recommended if you want some peace and quiet! Their food is delicious and their staff is nice. 👍

The coffee here is excellent and they have good baristas. Inversion and Southside are my go-to spots in Montrose north of West Alabama

This place is so friendly. I got my order within just a few minutes, and their cinnamon sugar donut is amazing! The coffee isn’t as smooth as I had hoped, a little sour, but i got a black cold brew, so it’s not going to be amazing lol. Very good place!

Great asthetics although its as quiet as library sometimes making the ambience a little less attractive.The service is extremely friendly and the coffee is great. Ive only been a few times but its never been a disappointment.

The flat white was yummy. They have gluten free donuts but theyre in the same case as the other donuts if you have Celiacs. There is wheelchair access and lots of natural light. Its a lovely cafe. It does get busy fast so if theres a line take in account a little wait.

Unique coffee drinks, great vibe and excellent service

In my opinion, the coffee is a little expensive, but probably on par with the other coffee shops that serve fancy ish drinks. I have always gotten a good, tasty and bold cup of coffee there, though. I wish they had more parking available in the lot they share with the Art Institute.

Parking can get crazy but the vibe of the place is so chill and open and relaxing and colorful. They really care bout where there coffee is from and have great gelato. I love the art and the color of wood.

Service is always excellent even when they have a full house. Ive had nothing but great experiences here and will keep coming back. This place has a cool atmosphere. Wish it was closer to my house, I would come every week.

Such a beautiful atmosphere, everyone was studying. I felt like I am in library. There also a nice art museum right next to it, there is access even from the coffee shop. The quality of the espresso was nice. It is very close to the fine arts museum, if you have time you can visit the museum too. Enjoy🎉☕

I look forward to a return trip. Similar to a place in Denver I liked.

Great atmosphere. I love studying in places with huge windows and its quiet enough here. Almost everyone is plugged in to a laptop or tablet, working on their own grind so this place is probably one of the best places to get your productivity on. As for the drinks, I had a lavender latte and it was pretty good--wished it was a little sweeter but then again, I have a sweet tooth. The staff seems pretty accommodating so Im sure they wouldnt mind fine-tuning your drinks if need be.

Honey badger coffee is fabulous!

I didnt get to eat here because I was busy viewing their artwork on the side. Very interesting presentation with a video on homes on the East End. Second attempt failed because it is always full and parking is hard to find. Going to definitely make it in the future.

Cute, has a comforting industrial vibe to it. Seating is okay for people who want to study, but looks like a great place to chat and conduct business meetings.

Great Place to chill, drink coffee, and get work done. I tried a specialty drink named the Honey Badger, it was pretty good. I dont really care about Latte Art, but they make it look good too. Ample amount of outlets along the wall seating also.

I can dig the vibe of this coffee shop - its on the quieter side, so I would recommend coming here to do work or have a quiet/serious conversation (if louder, they have some seating outside, so its totally possible to still come here and have raucous chats).The drinks are okay, but the biggest downside to this place is that there is almost nowhere to sit - pretty sure max occupancy is somewhere along 30 people. Just be prepared to kind of aimlessly stand around until a spot opens up!

Good coffee/tea. Nonconventional pastry flavors that are always good

Coffee and art, what a glorious concept.

Great place to enjoy a drink and study/homework/meet to plan because there is plenty of tables and seat.I personally love the lighting, the openness and the noise level is low so you don’t have to worry about not being able to concentrate.Just wish it would say open longer.

Great coffee and atmosphere. Love their art in display and local coffee roasts

Awesome concept with art for sale and as decorations. Cold brew coffee was affordable and readily available. Donuts for sale makes for a great pairing. Lots of open space to study, read, or simply enjoy a morning coffee. The stools are slightly uncomfortable, but the ambiance certainly makes up for it

Lovely place and lovely service! Had the Celadon Pearl hot jasmine tea, it was delightful. The patio area in the front is small but enjoyable. Will go back when I am in the Montrose area again.

Great coffee great chia lattes!! Love the taste!Do not like the atmosphere, its meant to be a coffee shop but when you walk in its like a library full of students studying vigorously on computers. I understand this is the trend now but its too intense and makes you feel like you are intruding when entering.

Best coffee shop to get work done and not feel depressed. Lighting is great, outlets a and tables are accessible, coffee is great with seasonal specials! And gelato after a long study session is the best way to treat yourself! Theres also local food truck vendors in their parking lot if you get hungry.

Meh! The art is great. The dining area is comfortable and there was adequate parking. Our latte and cappuccino were luke warm at best. The cashier seemed to be in her own world. I think she conducted the whole transaction without speaking.

If you are searching a quiet, delicate place for studying or working? Here it is! Besides, here is not as cold as other places!Drink is delicious, WiFi is also fast enough. Enjoy here and definitely would be back.

This coffee shop makes a nice study space, with lot of seating and other people reading or working on quiet projects. The ambiance is cheered by a high ceiling, big windows, some outdoor seating, and the art decorating the walls. The only issue might be parking - the small parking lot is shared with a neighboring business and street parking in the area has restrictions.

Service was first class.

Good coffee and good pastries. They also get tacos delivered some days, and there is often a food truck outside. I especially like their patio, it can be a great place to sit outside and read. Parking spaces can be scarce but you can always park on the street.

Good customer service, creative and open sitting atmosphere for meeting or working, and they have good drinks.

According to past reviews, this place has gotten a makeover, and I think it looks great! Very modern feel that has me lusting over one day owning a house that looks like it.I got one of the specialties - honey badger - and it was tasty! Honey and cinnamon tasting, I usually dont like super sweet drinks and this wasnt overly sweet to me.

Great place to get some work done or just get some coffee. The baristas are very nice! The time we went here we asked what the gelato flavors were, chose lavender gelato, and ended up getting some kind of latte? At least it tasted good!

I am not sure why this place is busy..maybe its because the staff are friendly but the breakfast tacosWere not edible. The taco was glued to the paper when I unwrapped it. Not good..they did allow me to get something else.

Staff gave great service and food was yummy!

The parking here can get cramped, so try to come early or when its not so busy. Other than that, the space itself is very wide. They do a good job of setting it up in such a way so that it doesnt feel cramped. The chairs are very comfortable. You can sit down and work for hours. Theres also a cute art place literally right next door that you can check out as well.

Lighting inside this coffee shop is fantastic. On a blue sky, sunny day, you can sit at the bar adjacent to the window and feel like youre outside, but with the perks of AC. The design is beautiful, and plugs are bountiful, except at the large table in the middle. The one thing that I would say could be improved is different sizes for some of the iced drinks. Why cant I get a bigger size of the Lavender Matcha Latte? Side note, when did that sentence enter into my vocabulary? It tastes way better than it sounds.

Cool place thats been arofor awhile, good place for coffee with friends

There are so many coffee shops with great coffee in this part of Houston that if you arent doing anything to stand out from the crowd, why bother going? Inversion has a lot going for it, with lots of art decking the walls and a really nice outdoor seating area. Not my favorite Houston coffeeshop, but I can see myself stopping by again.

Coffee is so frothy and creamy. Got a caramel latte and it was not too sweet either, just the way I like it. Prices are similar to Starbucks. Parking is limited. Wish they were open a bit later..

I have only been here a couple times so I do not know the feel all the time. But on my last visit I walked in about 15 minutes till close and was definitely treated as an inconvienence. I ordered a Mocha which took maybe a minute to make and I was on my way. Only thing that saved the rating is the place was clean and my Mocha was good.

Great place to enjoy a cup of coffee and get some work done. The baristas know how to make a well crafted drink. Pastry offerings are always delicious. Can get crowded on the weekends but only adds to the eclectic atmosphere.

Good vibes. Good coffee. The staff is always friendly.

The lavender is my favorite! Just wished they were open until 7 or 8pm

Its ok. I feel there are better spots around where customer service is better. I felt the person who helped want not ok with me being there. The coffee was good

Great coffee in a really cool space. What more could you ask for in a coffee shop.

Surprisingly, this coffee shop is more then a coffee shop. Its a snazzy and artsy type of environment. Service is fast, friendly and very generous, not to mention the amount of space they have over there and prices are fairly affordable.The only bad thing is that theres not a lot of parking, and the parking there is usually reserved for this art studio that I believe is connected to it. Worth going back just be cautious in traffic, parking, prices.

Very good cameral latte and the cinnamon cake was really soft and delicious!

New makeover since my last visit. Coffee is always great, and had a choc chip cookie that tasted almost homemade. My biggest hangup is the parking. Almost none. I always find myself walking 3 blocks to get there.

Inversion has been one of my favorite coffee shops for years. Staff is very friendly. Good ambiance. Great coffee.

Its a cute cafe with nice open windows. I was only there for a short while. I had their lavender latte. It tasted great. I just wished it was given to me in a mug instead of their to go cup (wasnt asked if it was for here or togo). Only thing I didnt really like was that their order desk faces the entrance which doesnt give a lot of room for more than 2 people, so it caused a couple of awkward moments of shifting around when people entered the cafe and joined the line.

Honey Badger Latte is yummy - a perfect balance of light sweetness and strong espresso. It has 2 shots of espresso, milk, honey, and cinnamon. 3 stars overall for this hipster-filled place because the Americano wasnt that good, and the lady at the counter sucked at customer service. She treated people like they were a waste of her time.Parking here is great because they actually have a parking lot! And there are food trucks right outside the building.

You will not be disappointed in the menu and service. prices are fair. this place has good reviews for a reason.

I really loved this place. the service was friendly and observant. prices were fair.

Loved the place, the coffee was great. One person ordered a frappuccino and it tasted amazing! Ill definitely go back 😊😊 parking was good, the only thing to improve is that the the girl taking the orders wasnt too friendly... Maybe it wasnt her day or something😓... But overall a good experience.

Esspresso is good but they do have a no smile policy. Art work is interesting. Maybe youre supposed to drink coffee look at Art and not smile?

Nice coffee place with a soho feeling. The coffee is really good and the location is fantastic.

Good brew...a chilled place...and an easy place to chat over many cups.

Great location in Montrose as well as a fine coffee selection. Lovely place to study at. Calm, quiet atmosphere. Also great views.

Inversion is one of my favorite coffee shops in Houston. Free refills on drop coffee, perfect playlists, and the best combination of seating options makes it a prime hang out spot.

Good coffee. Not very much seating. Sound carries a lot in the space. Some outdoor seating, but its not well kept. Minimal food options. Parking is good. Also, bikes can rack to the railing.

Very chic atmosphere and very hipster vibe. Staff are extremely nice and helpful. Their gelato is amazing ! I will definitely recommend this place and will come back in the near future! Check them out Instagram at @inversioncoffee

I ordered Chia Latte with almond milk, and it was delicious. They make almond milk fresh in the shop. Not too chaotic, plenty of space to study. Very nice staff as well.

Coffee was priced well and great. Also the inside was really nicely decorated.

Great coffee shop overall. Their Honey Badger latte is my favorite in the city. The staff is also routinely friendly. The only thing I dont like is that the size of the tables are on the small side. If youre going to work on something on the weekends it can be difficult to stretch out much.

Great atmosphere, great service, great coffee/tea. This is the perfect spot to stop in for a chai or cafe latte and read or work. Theres plenty of seating and tables near outlets for those of us with a poor battery life on our laptops.

The coffee isnt anything special, but it is a lovely local art gallery. The layout is simple and easy to follow, and its wonderful being able to see so many different artworks placed about.

Love this place. The atmosphere is great with the modern architecture and the paintings from the art league next door. The coffee is great, new and inventive. I will drive past 10 Starbucks to get there.

The baristas have never been even remotely friendly here. I try to avoid it as much as I can for this reason. But for years it’s always been that way. Every once in a while I come back to see if the baristas are smiling yet. So far, 0% success rate. Face muscles inactive. Vocal chords restricted to unpleasant tones. (Rating demerits are based solely on this.) Coffee is good, artwork is cool... but they’ve kinda got that whole “pretentious hipster coffee shop” thing going on. If you’re that unhappy to be serving coffee to people, I don’t really want to order from you.

Best tasting coffee around

I judge a coffee shop by their cappuccino. I ordered a cappuccino and got a latte. Same thing a month later ... and a year later. I need to remember not to come here.Good vibe and nice folks. They just dont understand that a cappuccino is a cup of thirds and when ordered for here it should be in a proper cup. A cappuccino in a paper cup is a travesty. Three stars for being on par with a good Starbucks.

One of the best local coffee houses in Houston. Terrific baristas that will make anything for you and they always try to ensure its done right. Its also the little touches. I like to sit at the bar and they will always bring me over a glass of water and ask me how everything is. They do not have much in the way of food but do have doughnuts and breakfast tacos in the morning. Go for the great coffee and fantastic staff.

I always appreciate the vegan options. Doughnuts and fritters. And they make their own almond milk.

Great cappuccinos and other coffee drinks. Cool building, with lots of places to sit and work. Unfortunately, that means this place and the parking lot are usually full.

This location is clean, too. Orders come out quickly & have never been screwed up so far in my experience. Definitely recommend!

The coffee and tea were decent. The music was blaring so loudly I could barely hear what my husband was saying. I asked the barrista if he would turn it down, and he nastily replied that he already had. But their was no difference in the volume. Even my husband, who is not usually distracted by loud or awful music found the noise to be very irritating. He pointed out that the place was packed when we arrived but quickly started clearing out once the loud, awful music started up. Havent these people learned from the Starbucks success model? People want relaxing music in the background and polite, personable barristas. It was a waste of time and money trying to get anything done there, and Ill NEVER come here again. The male barrista was extremely rude.

Coffee was really good and the baristas were very attentive !

Coffee was good. Atmosphere was pretty chill but a little short on seating for a good coffee shop to study or work in. The service needs some work for sure though..
