Montrose on Foot

The baristas may be brusque, but the coffee is done right and the blueberry muffins are the stuff of legend. A cool ivy-covered patio plus extra seating out back and a steady rotation of live music make it a great place to start your morning or end your night.

Great outdoor dining in the heart of Montrose .Half-price cake from Dessert Gallery on Mondays, great pastas and salads and the coffee comes with cookies!

From the ever-present Ice House dogs to the coexisting motley crews of bikers, yp's and people arriving on fixies, it takes all kinds to come together and drink beer.

Best mother's day brunch in town, plus a fantastic cocktail program!

Over 100 teas and satisfying snackage PLUS a farmer's market on Saturday mornings and swing dancing Saturday nights. And that's not the half of it - there always seems to be something going on at this little neighborhood nugget.

A great last-minute stop for gifts that make you look more thoughtful and sophisticated than you are (kidding - kind of). From finds for typography nerds to craft addicts to art connoisseurs, there's no better place to get lost.

Anybody can be a pinball wizard at Poison Girl. A nondescript dive that's way underrated for its craft beer portfolio, the patio at this hole-in-the-wall feels more like a friend's backyard than a bar.

With local designers like Lauren Craft and cutting-edge Houston-based lines like Kate Kills Pretty, you don't have to go far to look good.

Locally sourced ingredients + unpretentious, charming ambiance but limited seating. Get the cauliflower & donut holes & don't ask questions
