Uncle Bean’s Coffee 3024 Houston Avenue, Houston, TX 77009

"It’s a nice little spot. The shaded outside seating is a perk when the weather is nice. The drive through is convenient when on the go. I would add though, that use of the handicap parking by an able employee is disrespectful."

"Love their iced horchata latte! I always make sure j make a stop here for my weekend coffee treat or before I go to the ceramic studio. Don’t stop making the iced horchata latte pleaseeeeee!"

"An absolute must try if you're in the area AND if you're a dog mom looking for a new spot to enjoy some coffee with your Day 1. I love stopping by this cute coffee shop when I need a little outdoor time (and sometimes guilty of the drive thru options on my way home!)"

"I visited this morning. I had the fruity pebbles iced latte & the pumpkin chocolate chip muffin for takeout. I think their drive through is a wonderful experience different from your everyday experience. I was very delighted when I took the first sip of the fruity pebbles latter — I didn’t know what to expect and it was amazing. The pumpkin chocolate chip muffin was amazing, great portion and scrumptious! I highly recommend both. Although rush to get the latte since it’s a seasonal item!"

"Nice little coffee shop in the Woodland Heights neighborhood that seems to emphasize to-go service rather than sit-down. While there is an outdoor patio with tables and chairs, there is no indoor seating, and all orders are taken from either a walk-up window or drive-thru window. Parking is a bit of an issue as there are only two parking spots, with one of them being a handicap space, so you'll most likely need to find street parking if not going through the drive-thru. Space issues aside, for such a small shop, they have a menu with a wide variety of options that includes your standard coffee options, several kinds of tea, kombucha, smoothies, and seasonal coffee concoctions in addition to a small selection of pastries, tacos, and other small bites. I had the iced horchata latte, which was absolutely delicious and which I highly recommend. Unfortunately, they were out of tacos when I was there so I did not end up sampling any food. The only reason I give this 4 stars rather than 5 is because of the lack of indoor seating and ordering windows. I went on a rainy day and had to knock on the "employees only" door to order because the walk-up window, while having a fabric tarp over it, would still have gotten me soaked had I ordered from there. It would be good if they could relocate the walk-up window to underneath the covered patio or put a more substantial covering over the area where the current window is so that one can order regardless of the elements at the time. Additionally, due to the lack of indoor seating and associated outlets, this is a spot definitely more for reading and socializing than working. That, however, doesn't stop it from being a good place to pick up some coffee on the go or to hang out with friends."
