Siphon Coffee

The Vibe

You should definitely check out Siphon Coffee in Montrose. It’s got a really relaxed, almost industrial-chic vibe inside, but the best part is their expansive patio seating – perfect for a sunny Houston afternoon. They’re known for their meticulous pour-overs and, of course, the siphon brewing method that gives the place its name, which is fascinating to watch. Expect a slightly higher price point, but the quality of the coffee and the unique experience make it worthwhile. It's a great spot for a leisurely catch-up with a friend or a solo work session, and it tends to be quite busy, especially on weekends, so aim for an off-peak time if you want to snag a prime patio spot without a wait. Parking can be a bit tricky, so be prepared to circle the block once or twice.
