Le Café Joséphine - Houston

The coffee was decent, and while the selection of pastries was somewhat underwhelming and did not look particularly appealing, I plan to update my review after I try the food. I only had coffee and pastries on my first visit, but the sandwiches sounded delicious. The staff was neither overly friendly nor unwelcoming; they were just okay. There is plenty of parking and seating available inside, and the interior is quite pleasant. Overall, I would rate the food a 4 out of 5.

One of my favorite breakfast spots in Heights. Everything is consistently fresh, quick, and delicious, making it a perfect choice every time. I always order the Merguez Sausage Baguette because it's my go-to dish—full of flavor and simply delicious. The coffee is excellent too. I also appreciate the decorations, which beautifully showcase Moroccan culture.

I evaluate a restaurant based on its falafels, and their falafel sandwich truly surpassed my expectations. It was wonderfully crunchy on the outside, while the inside was soft, vibrant, and full of flavor—I could tell it was made fresh. The addition of tahini on top enhanced the flavors of the sandwich even more. Their coffee is another highlight; they carefully source their beans, resulting in a perfect cup of coffee to accompany the sandwich. My friend frequently orders their breakfast croissant sandwich, and she enjoyed it just as much.

I had a great experience trying lunch here for the first time. The space is clean, compact, and bright. I was curious about my friends' descriptions of the unique flavors and their halal meats. I ordered the poulet sandwich and while the baguette was excellent—really excellent—the chicken itself was just average and lacked a strong flavor. It had a hint of the zest I had heard about, but it was barely noticeable. The fries were surprisingly good; I loved their thick crispiness. I bumped into some friends who insisted I try the burger or the sausage baguette on my next visit. I wish I could give it 4.5 stars!

This restaurant is an incredibly cozy and charming spot! I’ve visited several times with friends and family, and each experience has been consistently excellent. From the moment you enter, the clean and well-maintained floors and restrooms make a positive impression. Although the menu was somewhat limited due to COVID, the sandwiches were bursting with flavor and very reasonably priced. The salmon pasta dish is absolutely delicious! The flavors are Moroccan, rich, and incredibly tasty! The staff is super friendly and always provides excellent customer service. Wishing them the best, and I can't wait to return soon! I highly recommend visiting Neo and supporting this wonderful local establishment – they truly deserve it!
