Antidote Coffee

I'll just say ""ditto"" to what other reviewers have said: no parking. Be prepared to park on side streets. The service is friendly, the choices good for the type of place it is. It's annoying when you come to share coffee/lunch with a friend and can't find a table because a solo person with their laptop is ""hogging"" the inside tables for two people, their cords strung along the floor. It's a total trip hazard, something which proprietors seems to overlook. The place could use sprucing up, including the side patio. Just because you're funky doesn't mean you can't be clean, tidy. more

My boyfriend calls this place ""my second living room"" . The interior of this coffeehouse does indeed feel like a college hipster's living room with the eclectic furnishings of worn vintage chairs and tables. Though livelier than a library, the atmosphere is not too loud for studying and there are plenty of outlets. I love that I can stay here for a few hours to work and order a couple of drinks without breaking the bank. The patio is nice and relaxing, but be sure to spray on the bug repellent to ward off Houston's inevitable mosquito menace. more

Antidote is an outstanding coffee house in the Heights with great selection of drinks at reasonable prices. Above and beyond that is the quality of the coffee they serve. Everything tastes excellent and I highly recommend the Cajeta Latte. It's made with Mexican Cajeta (similar to caramel) and Goats milk. It's a little similar to a Caramel Macchiato but not the exact same. It has a richer taste and may be a little bit sweeter. The espresso shots they pull are right on the money and the customer service is always excellent. Everyone is friendly and ready to help you out. The shop itself is great and cozy with a few couches and other seating inside and out. Besides the coffee they also have a unique selection of beers to choose from. I think the only bad thing about this place is the parking. I have headed over there only to find no place to park and so I have to leave. I've made unplanned stops there just because I was driving by and noticed an empty space. All in all Antidote is well worth the visit and I'm sure you will find something you like. The prices are right and the portions are great! Pros: Selection of coffee and drinks Cons: parking more
