For decades Montrose has been a neighborhood where you can come as you are and feel welcome. Now filled with museums, cafes, shops, and dives, you'll often find them shrouded in greenery or intermingled amongst residences. A great escape from the sea of concrete. We feel pride when we support our community, and inspired by the people who work tirelessly to run the places we frequent. We know parking is a nightmare, it's just something you learn to deal with. A sign of a more progressive and welcomed time, Montrose may no longer be the ubiquitous gay community it was once. This doesn't mean it's lost its charm or forgotten its roots. To take a quote from one of the neighborhood's original developers (J.W. Link) a little out of context, "Houston has to grow. Montrose [will] lead the procession."
Minimal home goods and quality wardrobe staples.
A Taiwanese cream teahouse that journied all the way from Kaohsiung, it now supplies Houstonians with flavorful teas, smoothies, and slushies. I would try to avoid the after-school rush, but at any given moment there is probably a line to the door anyway. Service is swift, and before you know it your drink is in hand. Hang out and study (it's a little distracting for those of us that are less disciplined), or find table and play some games. Don't forget to add tapioca, or fruit jellies if you prefer.
