Interior: The space has cute Van Gogh inspired paintings on 2 walls and a good amount of seating.
Price: We spent a total of $13 on a medium iced latte, a muffin, and a croissant. We are used to California prices for coffee so $5.75 for an iced latte wasn't a shock, though it was more on the pricey side compared to other local coffee shops.
Latte: I ordered the Starry Night-- the flavor was good, though a tad on the sweet side. The flavoring overpowered the espresso for the most part; so, though my drink tasted delicious, it was more of a slightly coffee-flavored chocolate milk.
Food: My husband ordered the chocolate croissant and said he would give it a 2/5. It tasted like it was made with milk chocolate as opposed to semi-sweet which made it really sweet. If you like milk chocolate you would probably enjoy this pastry; however, my husband prefers semi-sweet and I prefer dark chocolate. On the flip side, I ordered the Blueberry Lemon Parfait Muffin and I would definitely order it again. The muffin wasn't dry and the lemon flavor really came through. What makes it different from a regular muffin is the creamy filling in the middle.
Overall, I would recommend Gogh Gogh Coffee, but be aware that the lattes...
Read moreAs an older college student in town, I find it hard to find places that are not filled with younger college students. Gogh Gogh Coffee is the definition of a "hole-in-the-wall" with its location sharing a building with business offices. There is something mature about the atmosphere there also. There is more of a intergenerational customer following. There is also a drive-thru for those of you that live in the outlying areas of inner College Station. The menu is diverse as the baristas are well informed on the menu items.
The baristas of Gogh Gogh Coffee are attentive and aware of the patrons and greet them promptly. I would almost put together that the menu placement has a part to play in their engagement. Aesthetically, the menu is in a unfamiliar place. I believe that most would expect it to be in eye view.
The coffee was quite exceptional. They source their goods ethically and are educated on the suppliers and the process. Not to mention, They also have a great selection of local beers from New Republic Brewery. I recommend the Ale Mary if it is on tap.
Definitely stop...

I went there at 6:45 pm and the door was locked, no one was there, and their signs clearly show they do not close until 7. One would think they would be capable of staying open for their (highly publicized per their reply to this)hours.
Edit reply: I was 100% at the right location. The one off of Highway 6. I waited in the drive through where no one helped me, then I parked and went to the door, which was locked at 6:45 pm. You can not make excuses for closing early and try to make it seem like you didn’t. Why don’t you supply this video footage of you being open until 7. Because you absolutely were not. I do not appreciate my time being wasted by having to drive all the way to a business that can’t stay open for it’s posted hours. And even more do not appreciate you trying to cover up your bad business...
