Review
Not usually a fan of the Chinatown coffee houses due to the overcrowding and overlooked bathroom quality but this week I decided to give BLKDOG Coffee a try from word of mouth suggestions. Major ragret.
The coffee shop was smaller than expected, narrow and long. The designs are soft and elegant but did not stand out to me to make an impression. It contains the feel of a model apartment floor plan you’d visit or the aesthetics of “live laugh love” if you know what I mean.
The workability is reasonable, a stable internet with outlets available at most places but majority of them are located between tables. I would say a 40% chance of social interaction will be needed if you need an outlet.
The coffee options were acceptable but relatively mediocre, (I had a cinnamon sugar coffee that was grainier than I would’ve liked) however they do have a great variety of tea options that stood out. Unfortunately though, this isn’t a tea poop blog.
The bathroom was plenty nice for a private restroom, one for each male and female. However, being a professional ranker of coffee poops I have noticed a trend of Chinatown coffee shops that I cannot stand.
Coffee Poop
Number one being the temperature drop when entering the bathrooms. I do not understand why there exists a common issue of feeling like you are stepping out the door in a February Houston Texas when you go to the restrooms in Chinatown. I should not have to take a jacket with me to take a coffee poop because we all know it increases the difficulty of cleaning by tenfold.
Secondly is the sensor based flushing system. This is fairly self explanatory so I’ll keep it short, nobody likes a surprise bidet using their own fluids.
Lastly, the killer of all, hubba bubba style toilet paper.
This trend for bathroom design in the Houston Chinatown needs to be revamped just as China did back in the 1950s with industrialization. Currently, there are just too much copy paste of low quality design. I hope they quickly learn from other businesses and take coffee poops as a more serious concern. But deep down I know it is nothing but a dream.
