Catalina Coffee in Houston is the Washington Avenue roaster from Max Gonzalez, since 2010 with espresso, single origins and a Tequila Mockingbird tequila bar.
Tip: The cappuccino is the house signature. Sit at the back patio in cool weather.
Greenway Coffee in Houston is David Buehrer's third-wave roaster behind Blacksmith and the Anvil Bar coffee program, with single origins and a Greenway Plaza.
Tip: Buy whole bean at Blacksmith (Westheimer) rather than the roastery itself; the cafe stock turns over weekly.
