Café Forth — Restaurant in Houston

2 stars here as their parking lot attendant / RoboCop is very rude. On Sunday 09/28/25, this blow hard raised her voice while threatening with towing our car, telling us the tow truck was already called. I was approaching her to ask her to get off of my car but before I could make that request, this hypocrite was gonna be heard. She also was yelling at others in this precious parking lot. Plus, she seemed to be on her phone's earbuds, as she repeated details of what was occurring while laughing. Either that or she talks to herself.

Now I have fresh scratches on my car from her sitting on my car, I have a negative impression of this place, and she ruined our morning coffee experience on such a gorgeous day. If this RoboCop wants to help, she should help the barista. He was super nice and hardworking, taking orders from a circa 15 person line while simultaneously churning out those orders with no help. You think that guy would yell at patrons? She wore no uniform, no name badge and did not identify herself verbally. This RoboCop does not understand The Heights vibe.

Cafe Forth is a PASSIVE / AGRESSIVE place. Passive inside. Aggressive outside.

Just don't park in their parking lot! Or just don't go there.

CAFFVINO is nearby and offers a far superior product and experience. ANTIDOTE is also nearby. ACTIVE PASSION is great. BHBG on Washington is...

Wanted to explore a new coffee shop and tried this place out. Got an iced latte and a flat white and also an almond croissant; was lucky to get the last croissant they had left. Drinks and croissant were very good. Atmosphere was pleasant and we found stools at the bar, and there is outdoor seating too. It was busy on a Saturday afternoon and parking was a little hard. They have parking on the side of the building but it may fill up at busy times; luckily I got a spot someone had just left. They are inside of (or share with) a retailer of locally-sourced boutique-style items. Incidentally, there is a little more story to this...the next day we went to Tenfold Coffee on Aurora (we had been there before) and the same staffer who had helped me here recognized us and was nice to us. So I think perhaps the two places make up the same business. Glad to...

Update: After visiting again, I spent about 10 minutes under the sun trying to figure out how to secure my bike before going inside. I was dripping sweat coming in, which isn't the best. I sent an email to Forth & Nomad in hopes they can add a bike rack, because Heights is a major bike city and it would be easier then finding a pipe to secure my bike to.

Love the quality of drinks, they haven't ever disappointed. They sometimes offer Tacos A-Go-Go and pastries. I've had their matcha and mocha lattes and they are lovely. Always ask for sweetener though! Everything is bare bones, so don't expect a Dunkin' or Starbucks style drink. Walk around and browse local brands while drinking their teas, coffee's, etc. They have seating and connections for laptops, WiFi and chilling. Also...
