Meeting Friends at the Coffee Shop

One of the most popular places to meet friends is at the coffee shop. It’s a comfortable relaxed atmosphere where you can sit, talk, and enjoy a drink or snack. Coffee shops are often conveniently located plus often offer free Wi-Fi making them ideal spots to work or study.

You may have your usual coffee shop but if you’re looking to discover some new places to visit to catch up with a sister or friend and just chill, follow these suggestions. These cozy, inviting shops are only a few of my favorites.

Bean Here

You may remember Bean Here from a previous blog post and I’m thrilled to share they now have three locations. Catch up with friends at the cozy inside shop at 4340 Sienna Pkwy. #102, Missouri City. At the roastery and art studio with event space and loft seating at 310 McKeever Rd Unit A1, Arcola. Or catch them at the drive-through at 8215 Hwy. 6, Missouri City. At any location you’re sure to enjoy a variety of coffee-based drinks, cool refreshers, loose leaf tea and scrumptious pastries in a friendly, casual and cozy environment.
