I know the Houston Press gave them best coffee shop in Houston in a previous year, and there's a reason for that. Not only do they take their drinks seriously, but when the daylight in streaming in through the big windows, you feel like you've found a happy place! Their iced toddy brew is on the level of the iced coffee at Taft St, and that's saying a lot. I don't think you've ever had potato salad like theirs before--the potatoes are sliced super thin and it may just be too rich and creamy for you, but that's why I like it! Avocado on the burger: check. And inside or out, it's a great place to have a Guinness or Winter Stout or Shiner with friends.
Pros: superb coffee, loads of beer options, unique potato salad
Cons: sometimes slow when it gets packed
