Campesino Coffee House sits quietly on Waugh Drive in Houston’s Washington Corridor, offering more than just your typical caffeine fix. This coffee shop has a charm rooted in its cozy, homey vibe — think converted house with a fireplace, comfy couches, and a layout that feels like you're stepping into a lived-in neighborhood living room. It’s the kind of spot where you might find locals settling in with a laptop for a few hours or friends catching up over something sweet and aromatic.

The menu blends traditional Mexican coffee and snack offerings with some thoughtful twists. Their café de olla — a cinnamon and piloncillo-spiced brew prepared in earthenware — stands out as a distinctive choice that many visitors come specifically for, often with refills included. Alongside it, espresso drinks like the Cortadito Cubano and seasonal delights such as pumpkin lattes or the Iced Horchata Latte pepper the menu, appealing to both coffee purists and those who enjoy a little extra flavor complexity.

Snacks here lean into the Mexican bakery tradition with items like plantain muffins, cheese cups, and empanadas filled with pineapple or pumpkin, which pair nicely with the drinks while maintaining a casual, unpretentious feel. The space’s quiet corners and multiple rooms make it a solid pick for remote work sessions or relaxed afternoons. Just a heads-up though — parking can be limited, so you might need to hunt for street spots nearby.

This place fits best with folks who appreciate a slower coffee experience, perhaps those familiar with or curious about Mexican coffee culture, and anyone looking for a spot away from the usual crowded cafés. Mornings and early afternoons work well, especially on cooler days when their fireplace adds warmth and ambiance. With friendly baristas often remembering regulars’ orders, Campesino Coffee House offers a local flavor that feels both approachable and personal — somewhere to linger rather than rush.

One of my favorite coffee places in HTX. I recommend this place to everyone. I work remote with my job sometimes so this is a great place to come to catch up on work and sip a coffee. The staff are always nice and some of them even know my order! Also, their prices are super great compared to practically any other cafe in the area. Parking may be tricky for some, but I typically street park in the neighborhood and walk because who doesn’t need a few extra steps!

We loved the vibe of this place, friendly faces, great service lovey presentation. We ordered cafe olla (Mexican cinnamon sugar coffee) which was phenomenal. It's a very cozy place a house converted into coffee shop with fireplace and comfy couches and different rooms. Must visit.

Visited this place twice while visiting Houston. The coffee is amazing and it's cozy inside. First time we got the Maya Mocha which had a satisfying spice to it. Second visit we got the café de olla and Campesino café con leche with oat milk. I'm going to be daydreaming about this place.

I enjoyed the atmosphere of this cafe. They serve delicious Mexican cookies and sweet treats. The cafe de olla is a must-try, and it comes with a refill. However, we arrived at the end of the day, and the cafe was not hot.

Today I traveled to Campesino Coffee for the first time after I left FLATS Film lab down the road. I come from Kemah, Texas so I decided to try somewhere in Houston for my coffee fix and Campesino Coffee seemed cozy. To my suprise I was greeted by a friendly customer, and they have parking that wasn’t on the street available. As I approached inside it was more cozy of an environment than I expected. I loved the glassware for the hot & cold drinks. They definitely go with the aesthetic that the owner is achieving. I also love how traditional their menu is to a different culture. It’s different which is nice. I had the Horchata Latte w/ Horchata oat milk and it was lovely. Not to sweet and not to strong. I also had their tamales but they weren’t my cup of tea. I wanted to try something new. It’s nothing on there end! Last but not least they have a nice outdoor area with shading, and nice seats that are comfortable. Including plants. I just wish the plants were more lively not dead haha. All in all 10/10 a great experience with lovely coffee.
