4100 Montrose Boulevard Houston, TX
The shared courtyard is heaven on a sunny spring day. Probably the best atmosphere in all of Houston. The coffee is moderate. The pastries are delicious.
The wireless is really good lately, but has sometimes in the past been unusable.

Waldo's Coffee House
1030 Heights Boulevard Houston, TX
Quite a lot of Victorian charm. Waldo's reminds me of the Gallier House, a historic home in New Orleans where I used to go to camp in the summer and make dolls and potpourri. The coffee bar is minimal and the shop is a little quiet, but very likable. There are about four rooms to choose from, so if you are looking for privacy this is the place to find it. The double espresso I ordered was pretty bad.
The wireless is great!

Catalina Coffee Shop
2201 Houston Ave, Houston, Texas
When I think of this coffee shop, a tear comes to my eye. A few years ago, I fell madly in love with the place. This is where my real coffee education began. I learned words like bright, full-bodied, etc. I realized that espresso was more than just strong coffee, it's a poem. I learned that the most important thing that goes into good coffee is a skilled hand. And the owner is one of the most skilled baristas I've ever come across. He is also extremely kind and hard-working. His spirit echos through the shop and into every divine cup of coffee that is served at Catalina.
They do have reliable wireless, but no plugs.

Inversion Coffee
1953 Montrose Boulevard, Houston, TX
Inversion is a wonderful coffee shop to get things done. Productivity is in the air day and night, every day of the week. Even the staff is the most methodical, productive thing I've seen outside Starbuck's. Inversion is clean, bright, friendly and always busy.
Depending on the barista, the coffee can go from good to very good. The wireless is about 90% reliable.

Antidote Coffee
729 Studewood Street
Houston, TX 77007-1760
I woke up this morning and felt a craving for adventure. I've read good things about Antidote Coffee so I decided to give it a try, in spite of the rainy weather. I arrived wet and ordered a doppio. It was good. I also had a bowl of granola with skim milk. They served all three on a small circular tray, which I liked.
After sitting down for a while I decided that the country hipster vibe of the shop is excellent. It took me back to my days in Athens, GA and also back to the two days I spent in Austin, TX last week.
To top it off, the wireless is on the faster side.
