Rice Coffeehouse Reviews

Great atmosphere and employees. Very affordable as well

The service is excellent, prices are low, and the atmosphere is fantastic.

Cheap coffee.
But busy!
Really busy!

Coffeehouse is surprisingly good considering it is run entirely by college students. It is also way cheaper than most coffeeshops, while maintaining quality drinks with occasional specials. The cortado was pretty strong, and, as with a lot of the coffee here, had a very dark taste. I would recommend this place to anyone visiting campus looking for something to perk them up.

Excellent student run place. Always busy and the coffee is amazing. The one with the taste of pecan is my favorite pricewise is very affordable. If you bring your own mug you get your coffee for $1 which is a great deal if we consider the quality of it! I'm new in Houston but this place is already one of my favorite!

Very nice. Silly hats. Long lines and kind of hard to find a spot sometimes. Overall good quality for a school coffee house.

Coffee is great! and prices are low compared with other coffee shops. They have a discount for bringing your own mug and a free coffee of your choice with the purchase of ten. It is also, a comfortable workspace. It has books to read. It also offers cultural events, like recitals or poetry reading, during the academic calendar.

Lovely atmosphere, open late, and great student staff. Perfect place to study or grab a great drink.

The coffee shop is inside of a beautiful Farnsworth pavilion. It is a relaxing destination for those who are in town.

The best coffeehouse in Houston! Excellent coffee, pretty good espresso, friendly people, chill music, solid vibes

Great place. Friendly students making drinks. A nice atmosphere as well

A coffee joint in Rice University. Very nice atmosphere, a scenic walk and nice small bites.

Great prices and a fun spot. Love stopping here when I find myself on Rice Campus.

Great coffee and nice healthy food. Also serves alcohol.

The drinks are low cost and high quality, the students working behind the counter are great to talk to, and the atmosphere is always fun. Rice wouldn t be the same without chaus.

Beautiful design. Great place to come out and work inside/outside or just meetup a friend.

Student run coffee house with prices better than most other coffee houses in town.

Really good coffee at an even better price, have several alternative milks as well.

Cheapest and best coffee drinks ever!! The staff are so nice and cool. If you bring your own mug you get a discount. I have spent like so much time/money here. All worth it. The special drinks are very good and so are their Italian sodas.

this place is dope.....a campus watering hole, if you will. great for people with all kinds of preferences. the food is pretty nice, too (might i recommend the peach danish?). the music here can be a wide variety, everything from lil boosie to spoken word to hamilton: the musical.

i have a cousin who lives in another part of texas, and i wanted to wish her a happy birthday on time each year but i had to write her birthday down because my memory sucks, but what doesn't suck is rice coffeehouse: five outta five stars.

Cheap, tastes fine, BUT SLOW AS HELL.

If you are planning to order something other than black coffee, just say goodbye to your precious "at least" 20 minutes.

The last time, it was not that crowded, ordered chai and cappuccino, took 20 minutes for them to prepare it.

If you are in hurry, do not bother.

This 4.7 rating is not correct. I visited this place and the breads are not fresh. Very disappointed in the pastry as well as coffee.

1. Pros:
A. Delicious coffee
B. Reasonable price
C. Abundant outlets inside & outside
D. Fast free WiFi inside & outside
E. Not very cold
F. Parking in Greenbriar Lot which costs $2/day.

2. Cons: may because the cafe belongs to the students here, noise is all around.

Nice staff but it gets crowded during lunch times. Great place to seat and chat for a study break.

Great coffee, great prices, and great service. Perfect place to study. They even have lap boards for your laptop when sitting in the comfy chairs.

It's a cute little coffee place. Almost always busy. But you can skip most of it with the $1 life hack. Highly recommend if sleep deprived grad student, as well as a human being.

Great coffee, but expect lines during lunch & mid-afternoon.

Located in the Rice student center, this is a real hidden gem. The student staff is nice, the coffee was great and (for white noise lovers) the ambiance facilitates some healthy productivity. Open late too!

Very nice space to study and the special drinks are delicious

Great student run coffeehouse. Those smart kids know to make a great cappuccino!!!

One of a most active place in the campus. Students are taking care of this coffeehouse. I will highly reccomend this place to visit.

Friendliest baristas in town, lively atmosphere, great drip and lattes, fair prices, tons of seating. Definitely worth the long lines.

The price is, in my opinion, not cheap.
However, since I could not find better place nearby, I often come to this place.

Cheapest cold brew near me! They've got real cold brew too (brewed cold), not just fake iced coffee "cold brew (Hot brewed poured over ice). Plus the barista was super friendly to me. Will definitely go back!

*ALL-TIME FAV* Visiting Rice? Come here for the best publicly-accessible peephole into Rice undergraduate life. Super relaxed indoor space, stunning outdoor space, $1.75 cold brew. What more could you possibly ask for?

It can get really crowded at random times, like 3:50 PM on a Tuesday.

Wonderful place, truly made my four years at Rice worth it. Hope the best for everybody who works here!!!

I don't like coffee. It's too loud. It's always crowded. The hours are awful.

I don't undestand why is so highly rated , we've been served with two hard like stone buns and a clear unflavored coffee. Not recommended anyway

The best coffee ever. I had a double shot latte and also bought a Nutty B. Perfect on a day like today. The line was about 10 long, but it moved very quickly, the coffee was ready without much wait time. Parked on the street outside the RMC and took less than 15 mins door to door at peak time, just before 9a

One of the best places to get coffee and other drinks. Period. Finding space can be tight but KOCs are always friendly and the drinks are made with care.

Very good place inside Rice University, a little bit expensive
