antidote coffee

i came here on a sunday afternoon with my girlfriend on a recommendation from a friend.  when we first arrived, we could not find any parking.  there is a private lot for this strip mall, but it's quite small and only a few dedicated spots for antidote.  your best bet would be to find street parking nearby and walk on over.  when we finally got there, we noticed large umbrellas outdoor covering the outside seating area which is nice for getting the sun out of your face.  inside, it was very busy, and it looked like a comfortable place with a brick interior and couches.  however, it wasn't very big, so i wouldn't recommend bringing a large group here.  my friend did recommend to order the cajeta latte (caramel-flavored coffee), but i chose to try the chai tea latte instead.  my drink was extra hot, which i loved, and it had agreattaste to it.  my girlfriend ordered an iced mocha, which also was satisfying, although it didn't taste like a typical mocha you'd find at other coffee shops.  it was good, but just caught me off guard.  overall, i really liked this place, and i would definitely come back (next time to try the cajeta latte).

what to order:

sandwiches. people have already talked a lot about the coffee and itsgreat- but check out the sandwiches wrapped in the white paper in the basket up front - grab one and have it for lunch later they are amazing!!!

great coffee & open late. stopped by here with the parents and loved the cubanogreattasting coffee and few pastry selections, like that it's open late.

love this place. antidote is simply agreatlittle neighborhood coffeehouse... i've walked over early in the morning and driven up on my way south... i've stopped for a latte-to-go on my way to the country... doesn't matter. i've never been disappointed. i love the lattes. my daughter loves the coffee. and the cheese scones are especially delicious. what could antidote possibly do to improve on my experience? not much.

a gettaway spot. while most coffeehouses in houston pump up the volume during the evenings and weekends for the larger crowds, antidote maintains a sense of calm. this is the spot to go study or catch up on work when the other locations become too loud. it is also on the same street as fitzgerald's, so should you crave live music, it is an easy walk. the iced coffee is delicious and refreshing as well as cheap. they have agreatchanging wine selection and a mini fridge with desserts and vegetarian snacks. to top it off, two of their staff are just too funny.

coffee is good, outdoor seating is great, staff is very friendly.greatplace to enjoy on your own or with friends. open late (12am) and serve wine and beer, too. my favorite spot in the heights to relax. i enjoy the camera latte. this is also the cheapest coffee compared to it's competition (catalinas, inversion, coffee grounds, etc)
