Sara's review

Our visit and review

“Tried this place out when they newly opened in Houston. I gotta say, I was so happy when they brought a location down to HTX!”

Sara's full firsthand review

Tried this place out when they newly opened in Houston. I gotta say, I was so happy when they brought a location down to HTX! Having tried it in NYC a few times, I often wondered why we didn't have one ourselves. Well, Caffe Bene has finally arrived to Houston and its a great and unique choice compared to other standard coffee shops (especially Starbucks). Blech!Anyhow, I like their frozen and iced beverages the best. Especially since the weather has been quite hot here lately. They also have gelato, which I have tried and it was good. Many other desserts to choose from, such as honey toast bread, waffles, etc. Anyhow, its located within the Houston Pavilions, which is a nice yet quaint shopping center. All surrounded in the heart of downtown. Caffe Bene is a unique Korean style coffee shop. I definitely recommend you try this place out if you get a chance!

What we tried

Sara's visit centered on coffee, gelato, bread. The strongest impression was the quality and flavor of the items that stood out, along with the overall experience around them.
