BlendIn Coffee Club

The atmosphere is a vibe. Plenty of seats and free wifi. The drink menu isn’t too extensive. The parking out from is paid but I heard there’s a free lot nearby. They close at 3 but there’s a space right beyond their walls where you can stay a while and still enjoy the wifi. I had the matcha and banana bread. I didn’t enjoy the bread but the matcha was everything.

I’ve been coming here for years. The past few weeks there seems to be a different staff working. They all are pretty nice and polite. No issues with their behavior.

A few days ago I went in and it took 30 minutes to get one undertow. I think they were having issues with the grinder.

Today I went and ordered a quad undertow. I get this regularly 3-4 times a week so my caffeine tolerance is high.

I noticed the 3 employees were shifting stations a lot with several coffee orders in que being made. They seemed to be confused if someone put the 2 double shots in my drink or not and one worker said oh well it looks like just one and added another. I’m pretty sure they gave me 6 espresso shots. Today I’m having heart palpitations after finishing it. I had to go to an emergency clinic to get medicine to lower my heart rate. I could not breathe normally and my chest was tightening. So I left work.

I think the staff need to be trained to maintain their stations and not mix up what has been poured and what has not.

I’m not blaming the workers for my problems. I know a quad shot is a lot, but I’ve never had this reaction from a drink I’ve ordered here hundreds of times. Not sure what happened to the staff that wa where the past few years that I never had a bad experience with.

Sadly I will just go somewhere else from now on as there should be more attentiveness when making double strength drinks. Sorry for the bad review

Cute coffee shop! They have a large menu and lots of drinks to try. I went on a Saturday afternoon and it was busy! They had 3 people working, and there were approximately 20 people inside the coffee shop! People were hanging out, working, and grabbing coffee to go. They had coffee from every region in the world, lots of intricate special brew teas, and small pastries. I decided to try the matcha latte with honey. It was decent. I couldn’t tell if it was made fresh or if they had matcha premade :(. I would try it again!

I really enjoyed this hidden coffee shop in a brand new building I didn’t know about. Modern, white, minimalist feel. Loved the Japanese origami touch. Friendly staff. Social distancing and mask required. Delicious coffee. The kind of place you want to bring your laptop or a book for extended, peaceful work hours.

Blendin makes excellent coffee. I would rank them in the top three coffee spots in Houston, definitely the best in the area. They are very consistent with their brewing, and have a friendly staff. They sell croissants, both savory and sweet, made by Love Croissants, which are popular, and they have a few gluten free options.

As far as their coffee goes, they have a selection of single origin coffees to choose from, and a premium coffee menu for the well-off and aficionados.

The interior is very cool—a white theme with a huge skylight above the seating area. There is a wheelchair ramp that leads into the building. Parking in front of the establishment is pay parking. Don't be fooled by the big parking lot across the street. That is private parking, and those folks aggressively regulate their parking. There are about four small café tables outside, four tables inside, and counter seating. The wifi works well.

There are my two cents.

I miss my friends at Blendin. The coffee is high level and consistently brewed. The baristas are friendly and good at what they do. I preferred the old croissants to the Love Croissants. The Canelés are great. The space at Allen is a great place to work with solid wifi. There are some gluten free options.

Barista was not very friendly when I was asking questions about the different types of beans, and when i asked which drinks were offered hot/iced. Other barista rolled her eyes at me when I asked for the wifi password. all baristas were talking so loudly with each other, and it disturbed the entire coffee shop and all of the people who had come here to work. Although their coffee is very good here, I don't recommend the service or atmosphere.

We love this place!! The staff are super friendly and answer any question you have about their coffee. There is tons of natural lighting and nice seating areas where lots of people were working. There is, however, only 1 or 2 outlets (but that's the only downside we saw). This place is clean and easy to focus to get work done.

We ordered a Colombian Gesha pourover (they have an automatic machine!!), which was absolutely one of the best coffees I have had in years and for sure the best I've had in Houston. The coffee is amazingly sweet and fruity, and there isn’t really bitterness, so the overall taste is very clean. It’s hard to come across a cup of coffee like this.

We also ordered and iced mocha. The taste of the coffee is stronger than what you would find at other coffee shops, but I appreciated it since it wasn't overly sweet and the coffee flavor was coming through.

In summary, cons are that there is a lack of charging outlets for those wanting to work. Parking is metered and is parallel parking on street. Pros: the best coffee quality in Houston on a completely different level than most coffee shops here! Lots of natural lighting and nice atmosphere.

Love the herbal hibiscus tea! So refreshing! Me and my bf live around the corner and love that there is a nice place that we can walk to study and do work, out of the norm of just sitting at home all day. Honestly the wifi here is better then ours at home haha definitely will be back often. Oh and my bf also said it was the most delicious coffee he's had in a while.
