I'm a city bike rider, it was my first time in this neighborhood in 30+ years in Houston. Learned a few things, they're cashless. I couldn't taste the food cuz I only had cash on me. Since the barista had already served my cup, one his recommendations on grains, he allowed me to keep and enjoy the coffee cup for free. I felt double embarrassed, he wouldn't take my money and then he said he couldn't give me the peanut "better" 🍪 I had also ordered with my coffee. I will definitely come back for that cookie and I'll bring a 💳 ☝️😂😎

Great coffee shop for smaller occasions like dates, studying, working, or reading! Coffee quality is top notch with well- balanced lattes. Cajeta latte hot or iced is a top recommendation. Just be mindful that it is smaller, so parking is limited, and seating is more intimate!

Vibe- another cozy coffee shop in the greater heights area! There’s so many colorful little patio tables outside and a good amount of seating inside as well. This is the sister coffee shop to Black Hole Coffee House in Montrose. Customer service- Amazing! The barista that helped me was kind. Food/drinks- I got a hot pumpkin spice latte with oatmilk and it’s one of the best I’ve had at any coffee shop!! Parking- There’s about 15 or so parking spots in the lot and some parking on the street.

DEFINITELY A "MUST GO" IF YOU ARE IN HOUSTON! This review is based on my experience and personal opinion: I am a regular of the Antidote Café, very nice place indeed. I decided to wait for the Covid-19 pandemic to sort of go away to write a review about them, so that I would be able to be fair and more accurate. Like I said we are regulars of this small but lovely café situated in the Houston heights district, when I'm in town we go at least twice a week. We absolutely LOVE their Latte and their Chai Latte.... This is NO fancy place by no means.... It is a very simple place, with few pieces of furniture and the furniture are sort of worn/old furniture. It is randomly furnished, no specific style but I find this place sort of whimsical and very relaxing. Very friendly, Very Comfy, Very Relaxing, Very.... forget about your problems for a few.... If you look at the pictures you can see they have two main sitting areas, one is inside and one is outside. the sitting area inside has two big comfy couches among other furniture and a long bench against the wall if you like that kind of seat. so whether you are alone or with friends you can still find your place here. Outside they have quite a few small tables where you two people can have a remarkable breakfast. so, whether you come in the morning, afternoon or evening, you can select the best seat for your needs. When it's chilly or rainy, you can seat inside and disappear in those soft couches.... I love that. Sitting on a soft couch while holding a hot Chai Latte....mmmm.... paradise to me. They have a selection of Coffee based drinks, hot or iced, and If you do not drink Milk you can select Almond, Oatmeal, Soy or Coconut Milk (great substitutes). Also they have a selection of pastries/deserts available and some seriously delicious Oatmeal + raisins cookies (so Yummy). Now you can find more products available for sale, like Coffee beans, ground Coffee mix, and many other products. They have restrooms and they are always clean, which makes your Coffee break definitely more relaxing. The stuff consist of one Employee only and he/she is always super nice and super friendly. Me and my Wife love her/him. (Now that I think about it, we have been served by someone else too... but cant remember her face). The Café is located in the Heights district of Houston, very nice area and not far from the Café is Studemont Park, a very nice city park..... you can go to Antidote grab your favorite hot or iced Coffee based drink and go drink it at the Park..... mmmm... cherry on the cake!!!! For you to know, the same person owns a Café called "The Black Hole" that is locate close to Montrose, so downtown and that's a very relaxing place too. CONCLUSIONS: Go, relax and forget about your problems at least for the time it takes you to drink a medium Latte :D

Cute little spot with great coffee. The cajeta latte was a standout. Light in flavor, not overpowering at all and tasted like authentic cajeta, not some artificial syrup.

Cassandra Flores

The space is super cozy and they easily have on of my favorite coffees, you need to try their cajeta latte! 10/10 I just wish they had better parking but other than that this is a neighborhood staple!

I went to this place with a friend for a Bible Study, and it was perfect for that. It’s a very quiet spot, small but cozy. They offer a variety of desserts, and the prices are reasonable. I really enjoyed my experience here. The only downside is that parking is quite difficult to find!

Came by for coffee: had the "Antidote" (blend of drip coffee and espresso) and it was good and satisfying. Staffers were friendly. There was plenty of seating but it still seemed a little cramped. Also it seems parking can be challenging when it is busy.

The black coffee was scalding hot and the flavor had been baked from it by the time it was cool. That cost $3.79 for 16 ounces. Barista was drawing at the register and pretended to not hear me clearly order only a black coffee until they were ready to take the order... Annoying.

Always came here for the Cajeta latte, which was funky and delicious. Ample seating with a great garden area and plenty of room indoors. However, don't expect miracles with traditional coffee staples; I ordered a flat white and came out disappointed. The milk was too hot, and the espresso wasn't dialed in adequately, leading to a bitter beverage. For a coffee shop in such a competitive location, I'd really expect a better experience from such a staple beverage. It leaves a sour taste in my mouth to give out a simply "okay" review, as service has always been great here and I've had a few enjoyable drinks. Hopefully my next venture over will encourage me to update my score.

I have been a long time everyday customer for years. I had never had a complaint until recently. A new employee has handled me with rudeness and disrespect. When I made 2 complaints with the manager I was told the next day that they would no longer serve me. I have literally been going there daily (2-3 times a day) for 12-14 years, never had a problem with any employee prior to this. Yet instead of contacting me about my complaint I was told not to come back. My reason for posting this is in hopes of having one of the owners attention in this matter. And to see if they support it.
