Inversion Coffee House !

1953 Montrose Blvd
713.523.4866

Hurrryyyy!!! Come to Inversion Coffee House before the suburban yuppies find it. Located in the Art League of Houston's new building, this coffee house will surely grow to more locations in the coming years. The staff are friendly and the local clients bring a much needed boost of artistic inspiration to the coffee house scene.

Inversion Coffee House

The coffee tastes like any other good coffee. It's good, but if you're stuck on the Starbucks flavors, you'll hate it. We happen to like the coffee here more than Starbucks. They also serve up cakes flown in from the East Coast and pastries from Kraftsman Bakery down the the road. If available, grab not one, but two red velvet cakes. Luscious, moist, not too sweet, balanced, red, creamy, delectable... I wish there were more adjectives.

Bask under the two-story ceilings and the lights that are left on too bright at night. Look through the reading material. Lounge under the television on the leather lounge. Make sure you get your frequent coffee buyer card stamp. Listen in on artists, architects, the unemployed, the fabulously rich, and yours truly talk to their significant other or confidant.

Independent coffee houses are few and far between in Houston. Go support this one.

I agree... this place is just what I have been looking for. I uderstand that they will have an outside patio in the coming weeks (music on certain days). The food, drink and atmosphere are the best!

We saw and said hello to the architect last night. The patio is now open. They ran out of red velvet cake. Don't eat the key lime pie. It doesn't taste very good.... too acidic.

I was just there this morning and verified that they are installing a second patio in th back that will include a sculpture garden. They were also putting the finishing touches on the parking lot and interior. The parking lot parks twenty-eight in the main and ten in the back. I grabbed a sandwich while I was in so that I would have something for lunch this afternoon...fantastic! It was made by Kraftsmen Baking as well and did not taste like the not-so-fresh sandwiches that Starbucks has. I agree with original post about the coffee in the respect that it was good coffee. In fact, I will probably go out of my way to ensure that I get my fix at Inversion every day. I too hope to see more locations in the near future.

Every time I stop in at Inversion I hear more about this place. I learned today that the space above the brewing area will display different art installation every 3-4 months. This is a wonderful idea.

Oh yea, the espresso is made the way espresso is suppose to be made. Kuto's to Inversion Coffee.

it sounds like the coffee house we always wanted but never got... Brazil's came close, but they serve meals... ruining the atmosphere.

I stopped in at Inversion Coffee House the other day after taking my daughter to TX Art Supply. I had a luscious iced latte (much better than Starbucks) and I grabbed a tuna sandwich to eat on-the-go. The sandwich was fresh and the tuna rocked--even my daughter who is not a tuna fan commented that it was really tasty! Can't wait to return sans enfant to drink coffee, read and people-watch. Hooray for an independent coffee house in Houston!

It's taken a 180deg turn. I have been going there since it opened. Maybe a new manager. Completely lost customer focus. The crew is playing games with orders. They have signals the yell to one another if they want an order screwed up. If the cashier clears his throat when he calls out your order don't drink what they give you.

Not true...great place, atmosphere, and coffee. I too have been going there since day one, and this person must be nuts who thinks that they are intentionally "screwing" with him/her.

Anonymous Anonymous said...

I agree with the above. The person who stated that Inversion has done 180degree turn around and are not customer focused must becompletely self-absorbed to think that theemployees are playing games with their drinks. I am there everyday twice a day for my coffee, and can tell you that they are all about customer service and drink quality.

I am absolutely in LURVE with this place! I finally stopped in after viewing all the fun from the outside. The coffee is really rich and it is not your typical "cheesy" Starbucks. I only access Starbucks when I need a coffee, NOW. This place has great pricing and the baristas are charming and friendly. I would highly recommend this place for studying, hanging out with friends, or writing your first novel. Loved, Loved, Loved the chocolate cake with chocolate buttercream icing. As a retired chef... the icing was ace!

I have been to Inversion several times over the past few weeks and plan to continue. I love the atmosphee, coffee, and the staff. I am consistently treated as if I am important when I go in. And most of the staff seem to be familiar with all of the customers. I thought this place would be just another flash in the pan, but I have been proven wrong. Inversion is truly a beacon ofhope for independent coffee houes in Houston.
