Koffeteria

Awesome place. Good coffee. Interesting and very tasty pastries... the Salty Cambodian is a great hot drink... the Tiger Uppercut will definitely kick you in the groin and wake ya up... the Black Sesame baked butter mochi with Salted egg yolk was worth buying 2 days in a row... the blueberry pear with bakers cream and thyme in a brioche roll ... mmmmmm

Great staff! Everyone was extremely friendly, professional, and kind. Felt instantly welcome upon entering and interacting. Huge outdoor seating area but mostly bar seating inside. Parking can be tough if you come after 11AM. Prices were expensive for the portion sizes of food, but they tasted excellent. The egg on the BBQ chicken was delicious and I’ve never tried pickled watermelon before but it was amazing. My personal take is that their ube coffee was better than the pandan coffee. The Cambodian coffee was great if you’re a fan of hot drinks! Pastries are out of this world!! Broad selection and baked to perfection.

It’s a new find for me ! Different from what I imagined . Recipes are a fusion of combodian And tex mex. The coffees are a limited menu. But excellent. Macchiato was a hit. All the pastries looked and tasted decadent. Outdoor was really good as well with good seating and great outdoor experience. Place has been really busy in the mornings and parking is tricky . Baked feta and French onion pastry was very good. Flavors are really mild . Quiche is a good try but definitely on the pricey side. Coffee and pastry’s are a good choice when here. Will Be back sometime in the evening or night. Lol we got a parking citation BTW ! 😢😢

We visited Koffeteria randomly and were impressed by their adorable & cozy decor. They serve pastries in various flavors which are infused with different cultures & elements. I was interested in their Mapu Tofu Focaccia but my roommate stopped me from trying. We got Pistachio Croissant and Caramelized Vanilla Cinnamon Queens with 2 cups of Latte. It’s delicious with delicate texture & balanced flavors.

Koffeteria is a coffee shop located in the East Downtown. They offer a wide variety of unique drinks and pastries. I went on a few occassions and tried a few of their special drinks: Salty Cambodian, Make Ya Halo, and Mazapandan. The Salty Cambodian, which is recommended hot, was one of my favorites. It was slightly salted but not too much and balanced well with bitterness of coffee. My other favorite was the Make Ya Halo. It was a cold brew drink with sweet coconut ube cream, and I really enjoyed the ube cream. It was light and did not taste like artifical ube. As a Vietnamese person, I absolutely love pandan but was a bit disappointed with the drink, as the Mazapandan was very watery with not much of a pandan flavor. They also had various pastries, and there were so many options. It’s always hard choosing which to eat because everything looks intriguing! During the different times I went, I was able to try the ham and cheese croissant, peach brown sugar scone, and lemon coffee cake. The ham and cheese croissant was super crispy and delicious. The peach brown sugar scone was my favorite pastry. It was soft but also crispy around the edges, which I really enjoyed. The peach flavor was very light, and it was also not too sweet. I think it is one of the best scones I’ve had in Houston! The lemon coffee cake is unique from other lemon ones in that it uses preserved lemons. You can really taste it more at the bottom of the cake. It reminds me of Vietnamese chanh muối. The crumbs on top made the coffee cake crispy and was my favorite part, but the rest of the coffee cake was a bit too dry for me. The inside is kind of small. There isn’t much parking, and you kind of have to parallel park around the area. However, the staff is super nice and helpful when I visit in the mornings. Overall, I think their classic drinks and pastries are very unique and special, and I really enjoy everything they have to offer. You can definitely tell that the pastries were made well and with lots of creativity.
