Pura Coffee

Vibe- THIS IS BY FAR ONE OF THE BEST COFFEE SHOPS I’VE BEEN TO WHEN IT COMES TO VIBES! It’s the perfect atmosphere to get work or studying done. I wouldn’t come here to hangout with friends because it’s just that quiet and peaceful. There’s 10 square tables inside each with 2-3 chairs at them. Customer service- Great! The ladies that were there working greeted me (and everyone I noticed) as I came in. Food/drinks- I got the blueberry matcha that I’ve never seen anyway else so cudos to Pura! Just as the girl that rang me up suggested it already has sweetness from the blueberry so I didn’t add any. I also tried the tiger chai that was delicious as wells Parking- There’s about 5-6 parking spots right in front of the building.

Pura coffee is a mighty little coffee shop serving fantastic coffee, tea, and a variety of snacks. They appear to exclusively serve specialty coffee from 49th Parallel, a roaster in Vancouver, and they brew it well! Vibe - There's a good amount of seating as well as some outlets and WI-FI, making this a solid study spot that I frequent. Decent amount of parking outside. The decor is minimal, but the space is very functional. Coffee - We've tried the blueberry matcha drink and cortado so far. When you drink the blueberry matcha, you are instantly hit by a robust, juicy, and fresh blueberry flavor that gently blends into a a smooth, soothing, and creamy matcha/milk taste. It's at once both refreshing and comforting, but never feels too sweet (unlike other coffee shops that tend to overdo it with the syrups). We have also tried the blueberry matcha with a double shot of espresso, and to our delight the deep chocolate notes of the espresso complement the other flavors perfectly, giving a well-balanced drink with a kick of caffeine. As for the cortado, the barista gave a solid ratio of steamed milk to espresso which gave me clear notes of dark chocolate, cinnamon, and almond while mellowing out the bitterness and acidity with the slight sweetness and texture of the whole milk. Great latte art also doesn't hurt - well done. So far this coffee shop has become one of our favorites here in Houston for great specialty coffee brewed right, and we look forward to trying the other offerings on the menu.

Love this coffee shop!!!!! The blueberry matcha with a shot of espresso is my favorite. On top of that they have fresh treats and who doesn’t love that. Doesn’t matter if it’s the owner or a regular employee I’m always greeted with a smile when I come in which is refreshing. A friend of mine referred me here about two years ago and I’ve been coming regularly ever since. Check them out.
