No other cafe has better matcha than this place. Their coffees are also really good and reasonably priced. I've been coming here for a little over a year and is my go to spot. Free wifi, great music, cool workers and good hours. I'm sad that they don't close at 12 am anymore, but 10 pm has been sufficient for my studying needs. This place does tend to get busy, but I've always been able to find a seat. The weekends are the slowest and quietest. They recently remodeled their cafe, so the new seating and outlets have been a total updo. There is outdoor seating, so I use that space during my mental break in between study sessions. The outlets don't work outside so I can't actually do any work if my laptop dies. If you're a matcha lover, totally check this place out. Btw, no mirror in their restrooms haha.

As someone who spends a lot of time at the University of Houston (UH), I was excited when a new coffee shop opened nearby. The Nook Cafe, located just steps from the law building, is the perfect place to fuel up before class or catch a break between studying. Coffee is essential for grad students like me, and The Nook delivers with a variety of options to suit any taste. The Nook offers the basics like freshly brewed coffee for around $1.50, but they also get creative with fancy drinks, teas, pastries, and even a limited selection of alcohol. I usually stick to the coffee with free refills, but I tried the "steampunk" coffee for a change. While it was interesting, I didn't find it significantly different from their regular brew. Beyond the coffee, The Nook has a great atmosphere. The decor is quirky and hipster-friendly, with wooden utensils, refurbished door tables, unfinished ceilings, and blackboard walls. There's plenty of seating, including comfortable couches and TVs for relaxation. They also have board games for a bit of fun. The staff is always friendly and helpful, and I appreciate the rewards program that gives you a free drink after 10 purchases. The Nook Cafe is a welcome addition to the UH campus. It provides the cool college vibe we've been missing and takes care of my daily coffee fix. Thanks, Nook!

Excellent ambience to catch up on work or studying. Power plugs /USB nearby tables. Free parking and easy access.

A great place adjacent to the University of Houston Campus and a short drive from Texas Southern University. Great service, good ambiance. Not too loud. You can always find students studying or just on their computer taking advantage of the WiFi.

I come here weekly to play board games with my friends and we usually get food and drink as well. Drinks are yummy and they always have a special happening. I often get the hangover breakfast bowl and my one complaint is that the eggs they serve are sunny side up but the white is never cooked enough lately. I first got this a few months ago and I asked for the eggs over easy and they were perfect. Then I got it again about two weeks ago and just got sunny side up and the white was pretty much completely raw. Then the last time I got it i asked for it over easy again bc I didn't want to eat raw egg whites and they were more cooked but still not fully cooked. That's what's shown in the photo. Might have to start ordering something else. Atmosphere is great for games (especially downstairs) but it can get super loud upstairs. Once I asked someone working behind the bar if they could turn the music down and they said no. The lights upstairs also flicker a lot and it can be very distracting. I've never had any issues downstairs though.
