Brass Tacks,

612 Live Oak Street, Houston, TX 77003

"Crowded parking area, get there early if you want a study nook. Beautiful plants for sale and delicious hot chocolate! Definitely a friendly neighborhood coffeehouse/bar. It is close to the stadium and east of downtown."

"Very popular coffee shop in EaDo serving up coffee / alcoholic drinks and hot and cold savory / sweet food items Great place to study but it's hard to find a seat. There's ample sitting arrangements (desks, countertops, tables, etc.) and a good amount of electric plugs. Interior vibe is contemporary with high ceilings and plenty of plants. I tried their Pumpkin Frappe, comes in any flavors they have on hand. Ordered it with whipped cream and cinnamon and didn't get either. Asked for both and just got whipped cream - was still tasty. Other note: the locks on their bathrooms are hard to find. Otherwise, the bathrooms are architecturally pleasing and well kept-up."

"The atmosphere is top tier. It is an experience like no other. Whether you want to hang out for happy hour, order coffee, tea, food, or study, there's a place for you. This establishment is so evenly thought out and comfortable for the entire community. This is a new favorite for me. I was in Houston for the Thanksgiving holiday and needed to get some work done. This venue was perfect. The food was great, and the layout is well thought out and aesthetically pleasing, which made it easy to get my work done. The music was appropriate, and the volume was perfect. The plants were so fresh and authentic. I will visit this cafe in the future."

"Wow! I've lived in this area for about 4 years and whenever I google coffee near me this place has never ever popped up. Today was my lucky day and possibly yours if you're looking for an amazing place to get your morning cup. The entire staff was great and all although I didn't grab a bite the food looked like it would be amazing. The ambiance is hands down the best in Downtown Houston. I don't play with my coffee and this is absolutely my new fave!"
