siphon coffee located in houston's montrose district is a gourmet coffee shop specializing in the siphon coffee brewing technique.
the two chamber vapor pressure and vacuum system coffee maker is said to brew black coffee in its purest form. it sounded fabulous but i opted for alattebecause i lovelatteart! i paired mylattewith a chocolate dipped coconut macaroon and both items were a symphony to my taste buds. i was impressed.
siphon coffee also serves tea, and they have beer and wine on tap. as for food, siphon coffee offers fresh baked goods, breakfast items, lunch entrées including paninis, soups, salads and other nibbles.
i loved the upbeat vibe that reminded me of a college student center with people studying or writing papers, groups of friends laughing and swapping stories, and a couple playing the vintage video game, mrs. pac-man. the interior has plenty of natural lighting from the open windows and seating arrangements: sofas, tables, chairs, and barstools. it's really a nice environment to stop and smell the coffee!
i will be back with a friend to try the siphon brewed coffee and a meal.
