Sharing Our Favorite Coffee Shops In Downtown Houston

Here are a few of our staff’s favorite downtown Houston coffee shops (along with tips on what to order!):

Meridith loves Brasserie du Parc, which is conveniently located only a few steps from OPP. She loves their vanilla latte paired with the delectable Gateau de Crepes. Did you know residents get 15% off at this local gem, plus they offer room service to residents with no delivery charge? Talk about a high rise perk that has us buzzing.

Andi says her favorite coffee shop downtown is Boomtown Coffee. “Their vanilla lattes are the best!” There is a downtown Houston location close to OPP, and also a second location in the Houston Heights, so you know this is a popular spot.

Alex is a big fan of the double espresso at MKT BAR, which is also incredibly convenient for OPP residents, through the private Phoenica entrance exclusively for residents.

Chári’s go-to spot for coffee is Caffé Di Firenze, where she says they make the best Caramel Macchiatos. This is considered a high-end Italian coffee shop and here’s how they describe her favorite drink: “The caramel macchiato is a layered latte in the most decadent sense. Hovering beneath a rich drizzle of caramel and a light cap of foam, the espresso is present in the very first sip, followed by velvety steamed milk, and a hint of vanilla.”

Jennifer frequents the Starbucks inside the Hilton, which happens to be the largest Starbucks in the entire state of Texas (or at least was in 2016, when this Houstonia Magazine article was written). This particular Starbucks is one of the rare ones offering Starbucks Evenings, which offers wine, craft beer and appetizers (like cheese plates) after 4p. So whether you’re going to grab coffee like Jennifer or an afternoon beer with friends, this 4,000-square-foot Starbucks is within walking distance of our Houston luxurious high rise.

If you don’t want to leave the comfort of our Houston luxury apartments, we offer fresh complimentary coffee in the 8th Floor Resident Lounge, along with lattes and cappuccinos too. Take a book or your laptop and sip your coffee overlooking our pool or sitting on the expanded balcony that overlooks downtown Houston, or of course take it back to your apartment and enjoy.

Other downtown Houston coffee spots:

Louie Coffee is one of the newest Houston coffee shops, conveniently located inside GreenStreet in front of The Lawn. Parking can be tricky here, but residents of OPP have the benefit of being able to walk there each morning. If your morning routine calls for breakfast, don’t miss out on their breakfast tacos.

Located in EaDo (East Downtown), is Tout Suite. This favorite spot is adorable and comes with a huge menu, including an impressive selection of macarons, which are well worth the visit alone. Stop by and enjoy an early morning coffee, or for a business meeting, and grab a snack to satisfy your sweet cravings.
