Ella Coffee (Food Truck)

"No surprise that they’ve got a full 5 star rating. This little coffee truck outside of the Buffalo Bayou Cistern has some of the most kind, sweet, generous service I’ve ever come into contact with. They made a mistake on my wife’s order and made it iced instead of hot. I made a mistake on my coffee and got it with cream and sugar, but I just started a fast and forgot until it was too late. They remade both of our orders without a fuss and wouldn’t let us pay. The coffee was good too, but it was the service that shone for me."

"Decided to stop by and grab a coffee after a run and I'm very glad I did! The setup is really cute and they do a good job of efficiently displaying the drinks and pastries they have for the day. Additionally, the barista was very nice and helpful when I had a few questions about customizing my order. The coffee itself was delicious and just to my liking: not overly sweet and maintained a good balance of rich, coffee flavor that was complimented by and not diminished by the lavender add-in. Ella Coffee is the perfect way to end a run or walk or even if you just happen to be in the area and I would definitely recommend you check it out!"

"Ordered a Mocha Frappella yesterday near Buffalo Bayou Park. It was perfectly blended. I loved that it wasn’t loaded with sugar and had a wonderful mocha flavor. It was such a delightful drink on a rather warm day. Definitely recommend it if you’re looking for a cold coffee drink."

"When we walked up at 1:30 they said they were closing although online it said they closed at two. They said their machine was hot and since it was a hot day not a lot of people were coming through. When we started looking for other trucks, they changed their mind and said we could order. The owner was really nice and friendly. I got a golden milk latte. Everything in it was really well blended and what I was hoping it would be. They even had dairy free option for my husband. I hope to go back someday and try some thing else."

"Vibe- This is a perfect “food truck” to stop by after a walk at Buffalo Bayou Park for a nice cool latte or specialty drink! The truck is parked near the visitor center that’s by water works. It’s closed on Monday and Tuesday; opened the rest of the week. The owner is so sweet. Customer service- Great! The owner explained the menu and was very patient while I decided on a drink to try. Food/drinks- I got the cold matcha tea latte with oat milk and some vanilla to sweeten it; the vanilla was perfect in it!!! Parking- There’s a lot near the food truck with a good amount of parking."
