This is the coffee shop that stepped up the game for all other coffeehouses in town. If Chris Shepherd is the godfather to all the young, edgy chefs in town, Max Gonzales is the godfather to those barista counterparts. His baristas, like the affable Brendan Moody and Adam Newton, are always eager to broaden customers' horizons and probably don't know the meaning of the word "snooty." The down side is that Catalina is often packed to the gills, but at least you know it's for a good reason: Every last latte, espresso, cortado and doppio here is wonderful.

Even back in 2009, Robb Walsh recognized the raw talent in David Buehrer and his little coffee shop in a nondescript Greenway Plaza office building. Buehrer and the shop have since become icons for all that's right and progressive when it comes to coffee in Houston. Known for collaborating with area restaurants, bars and chefs to come up with coffee cocktails or coffee pairings, Buehrer is all about spreading the gospel of good coffee, good beans and good roasts — not self-promotion. He's at his best when weaning the office dwellers in Greenway Plaza off their Starbucks and introducing them to locally roasted beans made into lattes with local milk from Way Back When Dairy, beanie-clad coffee geeks and suited-up businessmen bonding over a perfect cup of coffee. Yes, parking is a bear, but don't get too worked up over it: Greenway validates.
I couldn't agree more. Ms. Shilcutt, you are usually quite acute, but you have a serious blind spot as regards Inversion. I have rarely ever seen snottier, more charmless cretins masquerading as 'baristas', nor a more arsehole clientele; they utterly deserve each other, but no civilized human in her right mind would set foot in this temple to rudeness.
Inversion? Katherine, with all due respect, you have GOT to be kidding us. I'll let the Wi-Fi Hog elitist crap slide (which makes you snooty right on the surface & a lowlife or you're overt worship of Robb Walsh) & I'll go right to the core. First you might want to look at the ownership of these places before you write. You want to know why the attitude of Inversion's baristas is crap? Look at the management/owners, I've worked in the restaurant business & crap attitude in any shop will pretty much lead right at the door of management/ownership. Inversion's ownership conists of former Starbuck's execs who have long had a shit reputation for treating their staff badly. You might want to remember this is the coffee shop that had its staff quit em masse a few years ago when a popular manager was fired.

Thanks for the shout out to El Rey. LOVE their cappuccinos-- they manage to balance a lovely espresso with properly steamed and foamed milk, unlike some big chains that regularly serve me big expensive cups of ick. And you're right-- they think nothing of pouring a perfect cup. Have a cap with an order of flan and I'm in cheap food heaven.
