About The Coffee Garden
Specialty drinks anchor the menu at The Coffee Garden, a coffee shop on W Alabama Street in Houston, where the ube cloud, the pistachio latte and the Golden Hour with coconut milk sit alongside a standard latte. Pistachio runs through the drink list in several forms, from an iced pistachio latte to a pistachio cream, and mochas are built with variations including chocolate nibs and a Black Forest version. Coconut milk and whole milk are both poured, and sweeteners are added on request. The baristas walk first-time customers through the roughly 28 options and make recommendations. Baked goods are sold beside the drinks, including a triple chocolate pistachio cookie and spinach feta and almond croissants. Orders are placed at the counter on a walk-in basis, and the shop opens daily. Dogs are welcome with their owners.

Customer Review Summary
Pistachio drinks lead the praise here, from an iced pistachio latte and a hot pistachio coffee to a pistachio cream. Close behind are the Golden Hour, which one reviewer had iced with coconut milk, the ube cloud and ube latte, a mocha with chocolate nibs, and a Black Forest mocha. Reviewers repeatedly describe staff who walked first-time visitors through the menu and made recommendations, and one barista got a simple order right. Food gets a mention too, including an almond and spinach feta croissant. One reviewer received an extra triple chocolate pistachio cookie after a slight delay. The caveats are specific. One reviewer who came to study says the WiFi would not let a laptop connect and that the place failed the vibe check. Another notes it is not a quiet coffee shop and suits meeting friends, at least on a Sunday afternoon. Several reviewers say they plan to return, and one couple's iced lattes came made with coconut milk and whole milk, with the sweetener added as asked.

“First time here and needed an afternoon pick-me-up. Iced Golden Hour with coconut milk for the win. Really hit the spot.”
- Angela Webb
“What a great coffee shop! I love the atmosphere! However, if you are looking for a quiet coffee shop, this may not be the place for you. I’d say it is more of a great place to meet up with friends. At least this was the case on a Sunday afternoon.”
- Sahaur Al-Nabaly
“We ordered some drinks from this place and they were delicious. The barista did a great job and was really nice! We got the Black Forest mocha and ube latte.”
