[Houston] Cafeteria Copacetti

[Jay Francis]

I had what I consider to be one of the best espressos that I have had in Houston. This is a little place, struggling to make it. It's between West Alabama and Westheimer on Sage, facing the west exit of Macy's. The owners are Swiss and Italian. The coffee comes from a manufacturer in Italy.

I can't recommend the lunches though. Although the pasta dishes are home-made, they have to reheat them in a microwave and it really doesn't work. But the coffee is wonderful.

They also sell the coffee beans.

Worth a trip.

I had the espresso yesterday and it is very good. Rich slightly acidic flavor with some herbal overtones and a thick rich crema on top.

We past by there a couple of weeks ago and i thought they went out of business.

Glad to hear they're still open , we'll head there one of these days.

Do they sell pastries if so are they good?
