Cambrian Coffee — Restaurant in Houston

"Sometimes you want to go, where everybody knows your name, and they're always glad you came".

Walking into Cambrian Coffee, I can guarantee you will always be warmly greeted with a "Hello", "Welcome to Cambrian", or "Good Morning". The team here is not short on customer service and making each guest feel welcome. Owners, Brian and Gemma, have done a fantastic job building a great brand that is both quintessentially Spring Branch, but also incorporates their love for geology, dinosaurs, cats, and of course coffee! Team members are always at the ready and if you are a regular will likely begin your order before you even make it to the counter.

All of their baked goods are delicious, but the sausage rolls take the cake. Maple Chili, Smokey Chipotle, Pepperoni Pizza, The Cheesey, and Taco Tuesday just to name a few are all fantastic. They have a traditional sausage roll sold daily, as well as a specialty sausage roll each week along with a rotating array of seasonal pastries.

And how could I forget the coffee? From your corporate brands to some of the local shops around the area, I have found Cambrian's espresso drinks, teas, lemonade, and seasonal drinks to be consistently the best in taste and value for what you get.

Bonus, they have a program called "Coffee it Forward" where you can purchase tokens to give to a friend, co-worker, or family member which awards them one espresso based drink of their choice.

I can't say enough wonderful things about this local business and the smiling faces that make coffee magic every day. If you are in the area, do not...

It’s nice area well lit in here. It’s got some high tops, bar seating, some picnic table style seating and the traditional 1:1 seating and 4tops along the exterior glass side. If you had a large group of even 12, they could sit comfortably in the middle. The metal chair seating isn’t in my vibe because it doesn’t make you want to stay that long, but their hours are not extended anyway.

I cannot believe I finally made it into the shop to have their Cambrian latte which they’re really famous for with honey and 2 shots. The Coffee is excellent. The vibe is clean and neat. It’s probably my new favorite coffee shop in the spring branch area and not overrun with students or loud kids.

Their hours are 7 to 3, which means they do business their way, at their time, and if you want to come and get their coffee, you need to make it within their hours of operation. The layout feels something like a summer camp or like a natural history museum shop cafe. They have dinosaurs galore and a gigantic geological time scale poster mural thingy. It’s cute. It’s unassuming. It’s well cared for. All their baristas looked like they loved working here and they were friendly and made eye contact.

I’ll have to try their pastries next time! Def come and try it out. See...

Cambrian Coffee is hands down the best nitro cold brew spot in Houston.

I don’t say that lightly — I drive 30 minutes one way just to get their nitro cold brew because it’s that good. Smooth, rich, perfectly balanced, and never watery or bitter. No other place in the city even comes close.

They also do these fun, subtle tasting notes with their nitro cold brew — sometimes you’ll pick up hints of cinnamon, chocolate, or other cozy flavors that make it feel a little extra without being over the top. It’s the little touches like that that set them apart.

And the baked goods? Phenomenal. They rotate them often so you’re always getting something different and tasty!

On top of all that, the staff is so freaking friendly and genuinely sweet. It’s the kind of place where they seem genuinely happy to be there.

Their drinks are consistent af too — none of that one-good-one-bad-day nonsense you find at other shops. Cambrian nails it every single time.

My one request: PLEASE...
