Dish Society is my go-to with three spots in Houston and a bonus one in Katy. Picture this: a farm-to-table haven, where local ingredients meet a chef-driven menu. While it’s not exactly an Aussie cafe, the vibe definitely carries that feel, sprinkled with a Southern-inspired twist. Now, here’s the group-friendly charm – pay individually upfront, then claim your spot. The coffee game is strong; I’m almost certain they’re rolling with medium roast beans. And let’s talk favorites – avocado and smoked salmon on toast, with the option to add an egg. Dish Society, you’ve earned your place in my heart! ☕🥑🍽️

Citizens of Montrose, crafted by two Aussies hailing from Melbourne and Queensland, brings a touch of Down Under to your experience. If you’re lucky, catch one of them at the spot – just follow those Aussie accents. Give ‘em a nod of your Aussie roots, and who knows, you might score a complimentary Vegemite ‘experience.’ The coffee is a delight, and the vibes in the restaurant are simply top-notch. It’s more than a place; it’s a taste of Australia with fantastic vibes at Citizens of Montrose.

Found this cool spot over the weekend, and we’re totally going back next weekend to try more. It was a bit of a hunt since it wasn’t popping up in my brunch searches, but Travelers Table surprised us with an awesome brunch menu. It’s got a global menu but with a touch of Western flair – perfect for Aussie breakfast lovers as they do an Aussie avocado and Vegemite toast (I added smoked salmon and a poached egg) – seriously awesome. We snagged an outdoor spot, and they hooked us up with heaters and shades to keep it comfy. Inside and out, the place is charming, and the outdoor vibe is super family-friendly. Service was spot-on, and the coffee, including flat whites, hit the spot – not too strong or bitter. A real gem for anyone craving a laid-back Aussie breakfast fix!

So, Bluestone Lane in Houston Heights is my coffee haven – I’d rate it a smooth 8/10, and I love the unique options like oats and soy. It’s got a family-friendly vibe, and you can’t miss out on the must-try ricotta pancakes and healthier choices. My only thing? I kinda wish they’d spice up the menu more often. The coffee’s this cool medium roast, steering away from the typical dark American style. Now, about those Google reviews in the low 4s, don’t stress. It might just be the menu repetition. Give it a shot, and let the distinctive flavor do the talking!
