Inversion Coffee House

Love the vibes in here! Great ambience! One of the best places for coffee and pastries! Dedicated parking available! Service is always great and with a smile! This is a must come location when I’m in the area. I have to try out all the other pastries they have to offer here. But the coffee is just made right every single time for me! Love that consistency!

Amazing barista, very nice and very informative on the product and details of each pastry. He paired my choice of laminated dough with my drink. Canary had regatón music playing, has it’s own parking lot. There’s is a pastry company @shakkarhtx who shares the location with canary. Pastry chefs are working along side with baristas in the same building. Both compliment each other. Pastries are very fresh. Atmosphere very calm and friendly. Great to get work and meetings done.

Truly the best croissants in Houston. Even after trying croissants from a HTX French bakery; none compared to the flakey, buttery deliciousness that was the plain croissant here. They even offer to warm it up for you which is the best way to enjoy it. Friendly staff and great coffee. Make sure you get there early, croissants are quite limited.

Canary is a special shop with great espresso drinks, wonderful service and incredible croissants. John is a killer barista and Joey, whom I met today, is a very personable and involved owner who has some great vision for the future of the coffee shop. I had an amazing pumpkin latte today that wasn’t too sweet with just the right amount of spice, and one of the best croissants I’ve ever had (and this is tied with ones I had in Paris). Yes they are that good. Friendly service, good parking, Mill-king milk and oat milk alternative (though no coconut). Lovely shop and I hope to be back soon next time I’m in Houston.

Honestly was a little scared to spend some money here after I saw the reviews. However, I had a great experience at the newly branded coffee shop. Last time I was here (maybe 2 years ago), it was still Inversion. The building is still set up mostly the same. The large table at the entrance was taken out and a few smaller tables replaced it. I think the coffee shop is a 4/5 for me but with the building including the Art League Houston, this place is definitely a 5/5 star location. The art exhibits are beautiful and a perfect study break during my long mornings learning about boring differences in lab values. Art is so much cooler! Overall, I like the setup: a long high table with lots of outlets overlooking the busy Montrose street, several small high tables on the opposite side of the room to work alone, and at least 5 smaller tables to work alone. As a place to work or study, this place is perfect. All tables seem to be close enough to an outlet. Also, the two times I've been here recently, it wasn't too busy and easy to find a seat. There's seating outside as well if that's your preference. Wifi is strong and reliable. Workers are nice and wear masks. Only complaint is that the floors could use some work (maybe even just a fresh coat of paint?) but all in all a fun, reliable study spot. Will definitely come back!
