Boomtown Coffee House Review

Boomtown Coffee House Review
Houston Heights, Texas

Well I had a wonderful time this morning at Boomtown Coffee House.  The coffee was strong and excellent.  I enjoy a strong or somewhat tasteful Latte.  The breakfast was excellent as well, I ordered the breakfast croissant & fruit for brunch.  The croissant was lightly toasted to perfection, the sunny side egg was cooked just right in order for the yolk to slowly drizzle out of it's bun, the bacon crispy enough to squeeze out all those juicy spices but not over cooked.  

I take off my hat to the chef & the coffee maker. 

Now for the some what downside of Boomtown... Yes there is a small downside.  I enjoy reading at a coffee house, but the venue has a BOOM to it... lol... A lot of hustle & bustle there, so if you enjoy reading you may consider bringing some ear phones or ear plugs.  Otherwise, the place is wonderful. 

By the way they are having an event today on 19th Street, so you will need to park your car on the side.  I believe it is a merchant event, lots of booths being setup and music.  So put on a pair of comfy shoes and high tail it to 19th street.

Review of Blvd. Coffee on Heights Blvd

Review of Blvd. Coffee on Heights Blvd.

Houston Heights - Texas

Blvd coffee I must say is not only a quaint, very friendly, coffee shop but a great place to enjoy the day.  The shop has very large patio deck covered with lush adult trees.  The servers are so nice and very courteous.  I do have bad news though.  They are closing down supposedly early next year.  The landlord states another restaurant type facility is to take its place.  One more tip, they close early too, I went at 8pm one evening and they were closed.  Well i'm off to work on this glorious Monday morning =)... Time to sell some homes !! Have a wonderful day and grab some coffee, before it's too late =)

I'm blogging from my mobile so please excuse any grammar errors.

Coffee Shop Review of Down House in Houston Heights 09-13-2014

Review of Down House Coffee Shop

A very quaint coffee house, with that small town European feel. 

This weekend, after our Lakewood Church visit, we decided to have some late night latte at a coffee house, and thought it would be nice to view Down House Coffee Shop.  I was very pleasently surprised with the atmosphere, lighting, and hospitality.  I give this coffee shop about a 4.25 star on a 5 star rating system, and I will explain why.

First the good news, the shop has a wonderful atmosphere, engulfing you in a European setting.  I really felt like I was in another country.  I do not know how they did that, but it was amazing.  The coffee was great, not excellent but great.  I had a latte and was surprised that they did not offer a variety of milks (such as skim, or non fat..etc...).  Secondly, I like the bigger cups of  coffee and these were on the small side... (ok maybe I am a bit spoiled ...hahhaha)...  

The hospitality was fair, not excellent or great but fair.  We were seated very quickly, but their greeting was a bit cold, not sure why, maybe they were upset about something .. who knows.   Our waiter was nice, but also lacked the warmness I expected.  

The restroom was not sufficient, not only does it only have one stall, but it was not very clean.  Their was paper towels everywhere, and other problems I will not mention.  I know they can do better, and hope this lands in the managers lap so he can get this place up to par, where it should be.  

It is a great place by far and I definitely recommend this place, but I had to be honest with you guys.  Well enough blogging for now, i'm headed to show 5 homes in the Heights today and can't wait.  This first time buyer family is so excited.  Talk to you guys later.  BYE for now =).

Coffee was pretty good, 

PREPARE FOR THE HOUSTON HEIGHTS CONSTRUCTION EXTRAVAGANZA !!

PREPARE FOR THE HOUSTON HEIGHTS CONSTRUCTION EXTRAVAGANZA

50 New Construction Properties to Be Built in the Heights 

The Southwest corner of Heights is going to explode with new construction.  The builders have seen the demand, now they are acting upon it.  50 new homes being built by just one builder is going to create one noisy, polluted area for at least 2.5 years in my opinion.  

I do love the advancement in the neighborhood, and understand change is inevitable but just wish somethings would stay the same.  Sighhhh, but one can only dream.   In 20 years, I believe the area will be full of townhomes & condos, and most likely the residence will have to sell to builders.  

I know a lot of the home owners in the area, and many are 60+ years of age, and they usually say they will die in their home & give to their kids when they pass.  It is quite heart breaking, but yet also very  honorable.  Well I gotta go for now, need to sell more homes.  Talk to you guys later.

P.S.

Yoga class soon, just trying to avoid the rain... Blahhhh
