blacksmith coffee shop

blacksmith is a nice place to go to for a quick bite and coffee during the morning or afternoon. however, it closes at 5 pm, so don't think of blacksmith as a good nighttime spot. they have a free private parking lot which is a huge plus for the montrose area. they also have outdoor patios if it gets too stuffy inside. they serve breakfast and lunch as well.

we ordered the latté ($4.00) and the vietnamese steak and eggs ($15.00) on a saturday afternoon. the place was packed, but we were able to find seating at the bar beside the cashier. the steak and eggs were good, but they really need to chill on the salt. the meal was served with a bun and smallsidesalad, but i found it a bit overpriced at $15, especially since the meat was much too salty. we enjoyed the latté, it was creamy and they even did some latté art on it.

overall, blacksmith is a nice little coffee shop. i like that they have their own free private parking lot, outdoor patios, and that they serve good coffee. however, it closes at 5 pm, so it's not a place i'd frequently go.

blacksmith coffee shop located in houston's montrose district is one of my favorite craft coffee shops in houston. why?

the quality of the coffee is incredible. david buehner, blacksmith's owner and co-founder of greenway coffee company, believes in using quality, locally sourced ingredients. even blacksmith coffee beans are roasted at greenway coffee company. but what makes their coffee come to life is the latte art!

also, chef erin smith designed blacksmith's breakfast and lunch bites which are simply delicious. try their sausage, egg and cheese biscuit with the marmalade on thesideor the kentucky hot brown sandwich. eat slowly to savour each bite!

from the exterior, blacksmith looks a bit ordinary. however, when you walk inside, you feel the hip montrose vibe. blacksmith's exposed brick walls with pop art creates an inviting atmosphere to socialize with friends on the patio or connect with a date over a latte.

cost: latte + breakfast entrée= $18

notes: attentive and knowledgeable staff, popular on weekends (might have to wait in queue but it goes fast), limited seating, family friendly, great for couples and solo dining.

he loves breakfast sandwiches and so we looked for the best ones in houston and we found a place right in the heart of montrose: blacksmith on westheimer. it is a small cafe that serves breakfast all day, how much better does it get? it has plenty of parking in the back, a small patio on itssideand their bathrooms were large and clean. the inside feels very casual, hip and young. there is music in the background and nice comfortable chairs. that saturday morning it was a mix of people, old and young.

the next morning, i was intrigued by something called “the kentucky hot brown” at blacksmith coffee bar. turned out it was a turkey sandwich on white bread with bacon, tomatoes and cheesy gravy. my picture was not as pretty as i had the gravy on thesidewhen the sandwich was supposed to be swimming in the gravy.
