“ I am a fan of this coffee spot. Ambiance is really cozy with an upstairs and downstairs seating. Not the biggest space but comfortable. I got the cinnamon roll latte and I really enjoyed it except it wasn't as hot as I like it. I like my coffee really hot and it wasn't really there for me. Service was really good. My wife got a smoothie and it wasn't very good personally but more than likely you're not there for a smoothie. Biggest complaint is they close so early! I'll help make the coffee if you guys can stay open later lol! ”
“ A Must-Visit for Coffee Lovers! Come here for delicious coffee. Cinnamon honey oat milk lattes are a weakness of mine, and this one is among the best I've found--perfectly balanced, delicious, and expertly crafted. The service was quick and efficient, making it a great stop for a quality coffee on the go. I'll definitely be back when I have more time to sit and enjoy the laid-back atmosphere. Such a great spot! ”
“ I finally made it to this coffee shop which may be the only 2 story coffee shop in houston...well. 1.5 stories you could say. They have plenty of parking and 5 signature lattes on their menu, which is what I came here for. I tried the English sausage roll and their iced cinnamon roll latte. The pastry was ok, I wasn't blown away as I've had this at other coffee shops and restaurants. The latte was also just ok for me, not very sweet at all and I didn't feel like it tasted anything like a cinnamon roll. The best part is really just the atmosphere here. Service is fast and friendly, even when there is a line. ”
“ It's a hoping spot on a cold and drizzly Sunday late morning. Ordered the usual (decaf flat white, heavy cream) and THIS is a cup of coffee. Strong flavor standing up to the cream. The ratios are right. It's hot, but not scalding. Hubs is thinking he'll grab another one for the road. (Now THAT's saying something!) Comfy seats here under the crazy black and white wall, and a steady stream of patrons. We'll check out upstairs before we leave but if it's anything like what's going on down here? This place is the bomb. Worth the drive up and off our normal beaten path. Next time we'll bring a book to sit and read (or maybe grab one from the bookstore next door!) ”
“ Love to come here for study sessions! They have a down stairs and upstairs seating area and both are perfect for a quick coffee meet up or a sit down school or work session. They have a selection of pastries and lunch items, this go around i tried their sausage, egg and cheese bagel which was so delicious. The drinks are always a hit and the baristas are very accommodating to any changes ! ”
“ The service at this coffee shop is good, I love a good chai so that's what I ordered here and I was a bit disappointed as it was mostly milk and lacked that particular flavor chai has. It is a two story coffee shop with very nice decor and a chill vibe where you can just sit and enjoy your coffee. I also tried an espresso, which was decent. Not good not bad just a regular espresso. I overall recommend this place and will visit them again with the hopes of finding a drink that I really enjoy. ”
“ No complaints about the drinks here! They have a pretty standard coffee menu with your typical lattes plus some specialty drinks. I honestly prefer getting something off their seasonal menu when I come, like the Texas sun in the picture. It's a carbonated drink with mango and peach flavor that's both sweet and refreshing, especially in the summer heat. Overall this place is great for getting some work or studying done. There's plenty of seating downstairs and they even have additional workspace on the second floor. The music isn't too loud either. I would recommend bringing a jacket if you plan to stay long, because it can sometimes get cold upstairs. ”
“ Rarely you'll find me in the Woodlands area since it's so far from my domicile. But I found myself here in the morning during a Sunday in late June where I needed to post up for some coffee and me time. As always, YELP brought me here so I had to stop in and hang for a bit. First, the space; a two floor establishment with table seating (downstairs) or lounge seating (upstairs). I went with the lounge seating where there's a side table for plugging in your electronics that you can work from. Very convenient! Second, the employees are kind and excited if it's your first time here which mine was. They recommended the either the cinnamon roll latte or baklava latte, I decided on the latter. Which leads me to the third, the latte was straight up BOMB. Like having that delicious mediterranean dessert in latte format with the cinnamon rim, I was very impressed with the taste. I also got a breakfast sandwich on an everything bagel which complimented the latte well. Quite a breakfast. There's other signature lattes here and frappuccinos, someone mentioned there was a cookes & cream frap. I'll have to try that sometime. They use cold brew as the base for a frap which keeps it frosted; a nice touch. Look forward to being back here when I'm in the Woodlands! Recommend others check this place out too cause they deserve to stick around given their service, ambiance, and coffee. ”
“ Third Gen is so far from where I live, but I always make an effort to stop by if I'm in the Woodlands area or otw to Dallas! This coffee shop is super cute; plenty of tables to hangout or study. There's an area upstairs as well. Staff is very friendly & service is excellent. The first drink I ever ordered was a cinnamon roll latte; it's good and tastes exactly like how the name sounds haha. My go-to drink is the cookies & cream frap. The mistake I made the first time I ordered this was only getting a 16oz instead of 20oz!! One of the few coffee shops that uses cold brew as the base for a frappuccino. I hope this coffee shop stays open for a long time! ”
“ Cute and trendy coffee shop in The Woodlands! 100% recommend a stop at Third Gen! I was driving from Houston to Dallas and was in desperate need of coffee and food. I'm so happy I decided to try Third Gen to fill that void! The interior is modern with ample room to sit down. The barista's were very friendly and the service was relatively quick! I ordered the seasonal Pistachio Latte and an Egg and Cheese Croissant. The latte was incredible! Not overly sweet and had the perfect hint of pistachio flavor at the end of every sip. The croissant was very fresh and filling. I will definitely be back next time I'm in the neighborhood! ”
