Slowpokes Coffee Shop

I’ve visited this Houston area chain a few times throughout the years and while the curated vibe is great to catch up with a friend, the coffee has never impressed me. I visited the Spring Branch location today and couldn’t find a sloth anywhere! The Kirby location was littered with sloth art last time I went, while this one felt more modern warehouse-ie.

I ordered the Honey Pea Latte which includes honey, cinnamon, and peanut butter. These are three of my favorite things, so should be an instant smash. Well…. turned out to be more of a pass. None of the flavors were prevalent. It felt like they toned down all the notes in an attempt to avoid clashing, so instead it’s bland and boring.

One other note is that you have to print your receipt to get a code for the wifi password. I guess this is a thing now because Luce does it the same way. It’s smart to ensure that your customers are the ones using the wifi, but it causes confusion when it’s not directly advertised and I have to ask for the receipt after already hitting the no receipt button.
