Want To Leave The House To Get Work Done, But Still Want The At Home Vibe? EQ Heights , 77008

My Pocket Pick For Coffee In The Heights, Houston

Hello Everyone,

To Start off the blog, I like to introduce everyone to EQ Heights. A Coffee shop that is quite literally a converted home on Heights Blvd.

The vibe at EQ is gentle and calm. Reminds me of a cafe in NJ recommended from our friends at Central NJ Business Media. The couches and living room space are mostly filled with quiet readers while table seats are often occupied by silent workers. The regulars are mature and easygoing. From the numerous times I have visited, I never had to worry about the noise, lack of outlets, or most important of all, the restroom.


The food and snacks at EQ are affordable even for the average grade-student. From the pictures you see, the cost of the food run between $5 to $9, my favorite avocado toast with fruits is $5. Insane. If you would like to try, my it is the Hawaiian Sunrise, replacing the cream cheese with a jelly of your choice. Fruit selection are left to the chef's choice but I have never been disappointed. I really hope my readers and myself visit back to this post to try it.


Now we cant all be perfect. There are a few drawbacks to the humble house of EQ Heights. The parking is scarce and difficult to navigate. Largely because it is a converted residential home, the parking is literally the front and back yard of the house. Navigation is difficult as you have to leave the back parking lot through a narrow gravel road from the backyard. Alternative parking will be within the neighborhoods in the back, thankfully though, the heights area invest a great deal of attention to make becoming a pedestrian an actual life decision.

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.
