Owner Matt Toomey roasts all of his own beans at Boomtown Coffee - so if you don't like the roast, you can take it up with the man who served it to you. You likely will, though, which is why Toomey also sells his beans to take home at this little Heights coffee shop, along with breakfast pastries, quiches, cupcakes and more from local bakers. During the week, food trucks often roll up to the coffee shop's old storefront entrance on 19th Street. More >>
http://www.catalinacoffeeshop.com This is not a corporate caffeine factory - Catalina prides itself on expertly crafted coffee drinks. There's not much outdoor seating, but the interior is warm and library-like, with big windows that look out on the part of Washington Avenue that has yet to be invaded by frat bars. The espresso selection rotates regularly and pastries are available. This is definitely a place for those who would step into Starbucks during only the most dire caffeine emergencies. More >>
Take a step back to 1923 and enter one of the oldest remaining diners
in the city - Yale Street Grill, housed in what used to be the Yale
Pharmacy. Everything here is original, and the malts, shakes, floats,
sundaes and sodas will put a smile on the face of any old-timer or
kid. The place only uses Blue Bell ice cream, too. Weekend breakfasts
see lines out the door. Yale Street Grill proudly serves Community
Coffee, old-fashioned burgers, tuna melts and pimento cheese
sandwiches, along with daily lunch specials like chicken-fried steak,
meat loaf and pork chops. The part of the grill that used to be the
pharmacy is now an antiques mall. More >>
There's only one really bad thing about the anti-clotting pill Pradaxa. You can't fall or get cut while taking it because once you start bleeding, there's almost no way to stop it. There's no reversal agent, no antidote.
There's no gloves or batting helmets when Larry Joe Miggins and the rest of the Houston Babies regularly travel back in time to play the game by its 1860 rules.
