Katz Coffee — Restaurant in Houston

I’ve definitely become a regular. Very nice folks who really care about the coffee. I order online and idk how, but it lands on my doorstep ridiculously fast - kudos to the packing/shipping people. They also put nice/funny thank you cards in my boxes which is really cute. Stopped by their location once a while back with my parents and they offered to take us on a tour. Showed us everything, including their lab area where they test and examine all of the beans both before and after roasting. Pretty impressive process they have set up from an industrial engineering/scientific perspective.

Tontine espresso is the best espresso blend I have found - and I have tried A LOT of different beans from other roasters and companies. It isn’t too dark, isn’t too light, and doesn’t just taste like a muddled blend of burnt beans. Very nice uniformity in bean roast, no cracked/broken beans, etc. It is dark enough that it has a nice deep and full body, but not so dark that the beans are oily - so it is great for a super automatic.

Huge selection for pour-overs/drip. Ethiopia natural is always good and the Brazil Minas Gerais is my wife’s favorite (I love it, too), and she has strong opinions on what coffee she likes and doesn’t like.

The micro lots are fun to try from time to time. There was an Ethiopia natural once a while back and it was outstanding.

All in all, great trustworthy folks, winner of best espresso blend over my multi-year search, great selection, and a local business that has earned its place.

Couldn’t be happier to live in...

This coffee roaster is hands down one of the best spots in town. The atmosphere is always welcoming and relaxed, with just the right vibe whether you want to hang out for a bit or just stop in to grab something to go. The smell of fresh roasted beans hits you as soon as you walk in, and it sets the tone for how good the coffee really is.

I’ve tried a variety of their drinks, and everything has been consistently excellent, but my absolute favorite is their Velvet Espresso. The name says it all — it’s smooth, rich, and perfectly balanced, with a velvety finish that makes every sip satisfying. It’s so good that it’s become part of my daily routine. I actually buy it by the bag and brew it at home every single morning. I can honestly say it’s the best espresso blend I’ve ever had, and nothing else compares.

On top of the great coffee, the staff are always friendly and knowledgeable. They take the time to answer questions and make you feel welcome, which makes the experience even better. Whether you’re a serious coffee fan or just someone who enjoys a really good cup, this place is a must-visit....

Recently, I researched outlets to purchase freshly roasted coffee beans. Katz had some positive reviews on Reddit so despite the 40mins drive in traffic, I visited their roasting house with the intention of tasting and trialling before purchase. Unfortunately, I was pushed for time and hastely made a purchase of 2 x 2lb freshly roasted beans. I did not check the purchase till arriving home and noted the decaf was also 2lb despite my request for the smaller size. By Monday, I tried the beans and was bitterly disappointed and phoned Katz. I spoke at length to Carla who promised to follow up. The service was beyond my. expectations! Not only was I given a refund but had 2 x 2lb freshly roasted alternate coffee beans delivered to my door the following day free of charge with an additional follow up call to ensure the delivery had arrived. I was so impressed by the service of a company who stands by their products and whose intention is to ensure that the customer is satisfied no matter the cost. Congrats Katz for your integrity and customer concern! I will...
