Modern and Sleek Meets Cozy and Meek? Simply Coffie

Auctioned coffee, from Africa to South America, sleek and cozy spot perfect for a rainy day.

Review

To get the elephant out of the room, yes it’s been some time since the last post.


Short answer is my business has shifted and picked up tremendously since the last update. I hope for my 10s of readers' forgiveness. 


Detouring from a canceled meeting today, I visited a coffee shop that was too full to work at and was diverted to Simply Coffie. Parking was not difficult. 


Honestly, it was a blessing in disguise and encouraged me so much to update the blog. So in respect to their name, for the rest of the blog coffee will be referred to as “coffie”.


First thing to note, there is a huge array of coffie selection at this simple shotgun style “coffie” shop. They offer auctioned coffie at market price in addition to the high quality coffie from coffie hotspots around the world such as Africa and South America.


Having a coffie blog, I am ashamed to admit when the barista replied with, “what kind of flavor do you like in your coffie?”, I was stunted in the conversation. Thoughts ran wild, “do I have free reign on my reply like with wine? Dry and hints of fruity flavors? Or are there specific categories to coffie flavors?”. Admitting defeat I said “No clue.” with a laugh. He then kindly offered me the African coffie as an entry level choice that I can neither spell nor pronounce. 


He was correct, it was “delicious” (visit to find out why this is in quotation). 


The two baristas were incredibly friendly and knowledgeable but taciturn, yet still had an ominous connection between them. I would assume that they are a husband and wife duo. If not, they probably should be. 


In conclusion, full marks for the coffie and the big jawed animals on the counter.


BUT WAIT, THE COFFIE POOP THOUGH?


Coffie Poop


Keeping it short and stout, this place is what it's all about.

This is by the far best coffie poop location I have ever been to. 


I’m talking private rooms, Charmin toilet paper, herbal fresheners, and high quality soap to use at your leisure. I cannot stop smelling my hands even as I am writing this. 


Top of the charts, my new favorite location and a must visit if you’re ever in Houston.

Review Talking about a RARE find! Hidden away in plain sight, located in New Heights Houston, and marketed as a dessert store, Red Dessert Dive was an incredible find for coffee poops. Walking into this book nook of a store, you’re guaranteed to be greeted with a pleasant aroma of fresh baked cupcakes. During my stay there, the smell of cinnamon and cake from their first reveal of the oven door fills the room every hour. The atmosphere of the store gives a cozy, indie feel. As if it’s saying, “We like to make cupcakes and we’d like you to enjoy it here if you can.” Which I certainly did. They have many other baked sweets despite my obvious focus on the cupcakes. Muffins and cookies are certainly worth a try, but the cupcakes, bless the cupcakes. It’s made very simply in terms of the format, cake at the bottom and a nice dollop of piped icing on top, not spread, and the size is what I would argue to be the default size of any reasonable person’s imagination. Let’s just say it does not need to use its size to add a level of quirkiness to it. Even better, at the last hour of the store's operation, the cupcakes are buy one get one! The working conditions are exceptional. Outlets were easy to find, the internet was provided indefinitely, and seating was always available. Because most people come and go as bakery customers would, I don’t see it as a potential problem going forward. Coffee Poop Bathroom-wise, it’s a single private unisex room with a decent lock. Maximum privacy sure, but number two suspects would be easy to identify. Puns and comments aside. Parking might be the only challenge to your visit here. Go visit, eat lots of cupcakes, drink the coffee, and poop there.

Beige all around, and probably has the best pumpkin spice latte. Hindsight, should've tried it.

Save your poops before visiting here! You won't regret it.
