Tucked away in the quiet GOOF/Shepherd Forest area, Slowpokes is a coffee shop that caters to its laid-back local clientele but is cool enough to appease any coffee aficionado. From pour-overs to flat whites, the friendly baristas here serve up quality beans from various roasters around the country, including Houston's own Geva, and latte art that can make anyone smile — try to resist a sleepy sloth in your foam, we dare you. The quirky seating area has plenty of room for Wi-Fi moochers, the breakfast and lunch crowd seeking pastries and flatbreads, or families with kids who want to saddle up on the old-school turtle kiddie ride that you might have found in front of a grocery store in the 1980s. What's more, an awesome outdoor seating and green area, local beers on tap, a great selection of tea, plus food trucks and movie nights make this a wonderful community hub, exactly what you'd expect from the best little coffee shop in town.
