First off... Disclaimer: this is a roaster. Not. A. Coffee. Shop. HOWEVER. Billy was kind enough to brew a fresh cup for me. What a place. Amazing variety of coffees. I can't thank him enough for taking the time to show and explain to me what they have and even give me some tips on my brewing process at home.

Found this place through a Google search while trying to find local coffee beans. Definitely a hole-in-the-wall kind of place. The coffee tastes great, but more than that, the staff there are super friendly and down-to-earth, particularly Billy (I think that was the name lol) who greeted me. I got to see a bit past the store front as well, and got some great recommendations after explaining my preferences. Plus, as a decaf drinker, it's great that they use a Swiss water process for decaffeination. I'll definitely be back, if not just to support a local business that has really great people.

I searched best coffee on Google, and I went to nearly every link that appeared in the top results. Java Pura was one of the names that came up and I decided to give it a try. What attracted me initially was their barrel aged coffee. After trying that, which was amazing, I decided to give their other coffees a try. After trying several others on the top recommended list, I found Java Pura to be the best. They have a ton of options, and unlike a lot of other roasters... Each of their coffees actually taste different to a high degree. Unfortunately, I have never been to their location as I am several

We really enjoyed our visit to this roastery. The young man that talked to us and showed us around was one of three people that were working here that were passionate about what they do for a living, who could blame them...working around all those amazing smells of roasting beans. If you call ahead, which we didn't, they'll set you up with a full on tour of their facility. We picked up a couple bags of whole beans that taste phenomenal. The Costa Rica Don Teofilo medium roast and the dark roast Costa Rican Black Pearl beans made us very happy. Another nice touch is each bag is stamped

For connoisseurs there's coffee and then there's coffee. Java Pura has a range of beautifully flavored and always freshly brewed coffees that will satisfy and excite any palette. It was clear after getting to meet the folks there that they love the process, they love getting creative, and they love coffee. That love is infectious and once I started trying their coffee I ended up trying more and more. My current favorite is Black Pearl dark roast, but if I'm honest my real favorite is whichever bag I have for that month. In short, thank you Java Pura for making coffee a fun and delicious experience

No matter where I move to in the world, Java Pura remains my coffee roaster of choice. I have very sensitive skin and even the smallest amounts inflammation put me in to searing pain. Java Pura is the only coffee that I can drink reliably without any negative side effects. I am under the impression that most other roasters use supplemental caffeine, flavors, and/or preservatives, but not JP. I found Java Pura at the farmer's market when I was living in Houston, TX and was amazed by the flavor of their coffee. As I continued to visit their tent, I met their roaster, one of the partners, Richard

Great coffee, I’ve been using their beans for years and previously was buying them from central market. Now I’m getting the 16 oz bags delivered, we go through four a month. I mix and blend a couple (espresso and Don Teofilo) of bags into my machine, and have tried many other brands in the past. I haven’t found anything that can beat it. One of these days I’ll visit the store, their working hours haven’t allowed this just yet.

What a cute business off of 23 rd St near Shepherd.
They have food and gifts procured from Europe and their website is easy to order for pickup or mailing.
I was very curious about this place S I was walking the dogs.
For my first purchase, I bought a set of beautiful French knives that are white with golden finish.
Also 12 boxes of bonbons for gifts and peony French tea. I also bought some berry jams for a future exquisite cheese plate.
Very pleased and highly recommended!

I love this coffee! I tried for the first time at my church cafe (Grace Church of Humble) and I have been hooked ever since. I first tried the Don Teofilo Medium Roast which is a great coffee, but I eventually tried the French Roast and that became my favorite. The Urban Blend is also a winner for those who like Central/South American flavors.
I highly suggest any of their blends and brews as you will not be disappointed. A friend of mine ordered the Ethiopian blends and he loved them, so you really can't go wrong with any of them.
Please support this great local business and get yourself some

A gem of a coffee roaster.. headquartered in Gulfton, near Chimney Rock. This place is a bit difficult to find due to the aesthetic looks from the outside. You'll notice a row of standard office looking buildings. Makes it a bit of an adventure trying to locate this coffee lab. Java Pura is the local soul of the best coffee beans in Houston. You may find their products at the Urban Harvest Farmers Market, Central Market or any catering events. This lab is not a coffee shop, so don't go looking for a barista that can make you latte art. Rather the folks behind the business are incredibly

This is still my go-to provider for coffee. i make at least one latte per day, and often 2 or 3. initially, i used Java Pura's espresso blend but began to think it needed a bit more darkness, bitterness, character, or something. so, i began mixing the espresso blend 1:1 with their French Roast. this worked for me for a while, but i now only use French Roast for my latte's, doing a shorter pull than i did previously.
this coffee is available at Central Market, but i usually buy at the Farmer's Market on Westheimer on Sat mornings (formerly off Eastside and Richmond). no need to look

It is not common these days to experience exceptional customer service but thanks to the efforts of Kat & Jeff I will forever be a loyal customer. I recently moved from Houston to the DC area and although I'm sure there are fabulous coffee shops here too, I have greatly missed my yellow honey coffee from Java Pura. It's liquid gold in a cup Jeff & Kat understood my and went above & beyond to take care of the order.

I had called and spoke with Brenda back in February regarding the possibility of Java Pura catering for my daughters upcoming wedding so I had appointment today to discuss all of what Java Pura could provide the guests on a espresso and cappuccino bar.
When we first walked in the smell of the fresh roasted coffee was absolutely amazing. Brenda and here staff were waiting for us and they were all so genuinely sweet and nice. We also had the opportunity to meet the owner of the company who talked to us about where the coffee originated from and the differences in the flavors and the roasting processes

I just wanted to update that they do sales at their office, and they even take credit cards. In fact, they prefer it, since they don't really keep cash at the front desk. Your selection will be limited, pretty much, to what they've roasted that day or the day before (since everything else has gone out the door), but that's not a problem. There always is something excellent on hand.
They couldn't be nicer. If the owner is on hand and not terribly busy and if you have the time, talk to him and get a little tour. If you are at all interested in coffee, roasting, the industry

Just went by and spent 2 hours without even realizing it! Learned a lot about where they source their coffee from the owner himself, and got to sample a few different types of coffee (expressions, drip, cold brew). Biggest discovery was the tea - I'll say no more! Like other posters indicate, this is NOT a coffee shop, it's their offices and roasting facility, but you can buy their coffee and other items and, if you're lucky like us, get a personalized tour!

I love this place! Just for a little background, this place isn't a cafe or even a formal "storefront". It's the HQ where they roast, which you happen to be able to buy the beans and other products from. It's $8 for half a pound, which is a little high in my opinion but still worth it. I've tried their Espresso Blend and the Costa Rica Don Teofilo. The espresso blend is a slighter darker roast, still a medium roast though, and much more oily bean. Both work well served as espresso. I think I might even prefer the Don Teofilo for espresso shots. Give them both a try

There is just no better coffee bean out there in Houston. Maniacal commitment to sourcing the very best beans, then roasting them to bring out their best. Tired of overly roasted coffees that taste reminiscent of an ashtray? Worry not. While those who insist on charred coffee can get their French roast, they are missing out on the payoff of all that careful sourcing of beans. Once you burn beans, they all taste the same. Many of JP's beans are roasted on the light side of medium. Costa Rica Don Teofilo is one of the only 3 beverages I ever drink anymore. Drink it black, even if you aren&apos

So for anyone looking for a sit down coffee shop, this is NOT it lol. It's a location for the roasting of the coffee. The owner (Richard I think is his name) is super nice and happy to give a tour or talk to you about the coffee. I got a bottle of the cold brew and it was delicious!! Planning to buy whole beans in the near future

We buy this coffee from the Eastside farmer's market, and we've also visited the roastery for a tour. It's good coffee; better yet, at $10 for 12 ounces, it's affordable given the quality. Also, because it's roasted a mile from our home, it's always absurdly fresh. The aroma dominates our cupboard.
Highly recommended.

Love this coffee, so I leapt on the chance to take a group tour. Richard conducted the tour which was informative and fun. We got to try two types of coffee and learn more about why their coffee tastes so fresh. I bought a bag at discount to take home and the smell in my house is so much more aromatic than any other coffee. A must see and taste for Houston coffee enthusiasts.

This is awesome coffee. The Costa Rican beans aged in oak wine casks are incredible - I've never tasted coffee this good; or this unique. The beans are naturally infused with a perfect touch of fine wine and oak aromas.
Coffee beans just don't get any better than this. And it's no wonder, Richard and his crew go to EXTREMES to produce the absolute best roasts from hand-picked beans. Nothing is left to chance and it shows. Thanks for the best coffee experience ever!!!

This place is the BEST coffee I've had in Houston, by far!!!!!! Seriously, I've tried several of the blends and liked them so much I had to visit their site/office. it's great! you can actually see how the coffee beans are processed, roasted, and packaged, and they will give you a tasting of different ones so you can decide what you like. They even show you which farms in which country your coffee is coming from... that's amazing. Who woulda thunk it?
I think this place is 5 star not just for the coffee, but also for the service. They really care, and I love supporting local
