Kona Reserve Coffee at Greenway Plaza — Restaurant in Houston

It's one of my new favorites! I work from home but sometimes need a cafe to focus. Kona Reserve, while still new, is already awesome.

Coffee: I ordered a macadamia latte, nothing fancy, but it was really nice espresso.

Food: Kona has some unique food items, like musubi. I tried a spam/egg one and it was so comforting. I might suggest some Sriracha as a condiment, but it's yummy by itself. They also have gelato. It's really nice and creamy.

Inside: (see UPDATE) This location used to have another cafe, and I usually skipped it because it didn't have enough outlets for laptops. I was told, however, that they're in the process of installing more. Yes!! Outlets aside, the cafe has a pleasant, friendly atmosphere and some good chairs for a solid work session.

UPDATE: Kona followed through and now there are PLENTY of outlets! They are neat and tidy, under the tables, so there aren't any safety issues from desperately stretched power cords. I wouldn't be surprised at all if the lack of outlets was a big reason the previous cafe didn't make it.

Poor communication, lack of professionalism.

The owner Dante was extremely friendly, very welcoming, polite, respectful and wonderful to talk to while my wife, mother in law, friend, our son and I were there! He greeted us the second we came into the store and thanked us a few times for visiting! I personally spoke with him for a bit about his new shop. The coffee is hands down the best we’ve had so far! The interior aesthetics were beautiful and the coffee barista were very quick with making our drinks! Overall, it was a great first time experience for us. We have had our eye on this place for a while now, and we’re so glad that it didn’t disappoint! Definitely recommend and for sure coming back to try their...

I had a great experience at Kona Reserve Coffee in Greenway Plaza. After reading some positive reviews online, I decided to check them out—and I’m so glad I did. This was honestly one of the best matcha lattes I’ve had in the Houston area.

I went in on a Sunday morning for a hot matcha and felt welcomed as soon as I walked in. The young lady at the counter greeted me right away and offered options for both the type of matcha and the milk. That level of care was really refreshing and the music was great!

They also have some delicious pastries from a local French bakery that pair perfectly with the matcha. The drink itself was smooth, not too milky, not gritty at all, and served at the perfect temperature.

I’ll definitely be...
