“ A cool Montrose coffee shop with good food. The avocado toast was really good and the chicken empanada was different than I’ve ever had but very flavorful. Both items were yummy. ”
“ I enjoy coming here for breakfast. If anything, I recommend any of their delicious taco grande. I also enjoy their breakfast sandwich and empanadas. Their hangover fires are the best. It's definitely a must try. I love the atmosphere here. It's definitely a good place to study during non busy times. (Which it does get busy on certain days.) If you're in the area and are looking for good breakfast food, stop here and give them a try. ”
“ Great local specialty coffee shop Siphon is one of my go-to coffee shops whether it’s to get work done, read or relax. I’m not a big coffee drinker but the beverages here have always been amazing! If you’re unsure of what to order, I’d recommend the Barista Special and list your preferences and they will make a great drink for you! Staff are super-friendly; I’ve never had a bad experience here. Cafe internet is solid and bathrooms are clean. The cafe features indoor and outdoor seating. Indoor seating features a variety of styles including leather couches, counter-top and barstools, and traditional tables. Outdoor seating is mostly booths with cute overhead lights. I’d recommend avoiding outdoors when it’s really hot and/or dusk/dawn as there are mosquitoes. I do wish there were more outlet plugs at the cafe - these can be very limited when it’s busy. The parking lot fills up quickly but there is plenty of (shaded) street parking a block over. Sam the barista makes a great Rose-flavored latte ”
“ Really enjoyed my pumpkin spice latte here! I would appreciate more table seating; I love the couches, but not very conducive to conversation. Service was quick and ambience was great. I think Siphon should have EV chargers; noticed a lot of EVs in the area and in the parking lot. I know local houston business, Pangea Charging, offers installation services. ”
“ Busy place for busy people. The only place with outlets, though, might be at the bar seats and some of them are a bit loose. Other than that it's a great place for hanging out. They are often full house so get there early. ”
“ Very aesthetic location. Peaceful and good location for studying or group events. Plenty of food options from breakfast, snacks and dinner. As well as coffee, teas and other hot drinks! ”
“ Siphon is my go to coffee shop, not only because of proximity/location, but also because of the quality of the brews and the options. It has a kitchen so you can order breakfast foods or sandwiches. There are several baked goods, and better yet, empanadas. My favorite coffees are the drip, Americano, and iced snickerdoodle latte. There’s a good amount of seating but it can be hard to find an open couch or indoor seating because of how many people come to siphon. Also parking is limited but there’s parking around the residential area nearby ”
