Simply Coffie

Something about a large carafe of excellent single origin iced coffee, brewed to order, feels like the absolute height of luxury. Simply Coffie, a roastery and cafe in The Heights, is currently the only coffee shop in town we know of offering such magnificence. While most independent cafes offer single origin coffee—essentially coffee that can be traced back to a single producer or region—it’s usually served hot. But at Simply, for an extra $2, you get a fancy glass carafe resting on ice along with a frozen cup. And given that Houston is a giant oven for roughly six months, anything frozen or ice-adjacent is already special. Add on a chocolate truffle or a decadent raspberry cake (show up early for these), and embrace the tiny cafe’s airy grandeur.
