If you're looking for a unique coffee shop in the Heights area of Houston, Maggie May's Coffee is your best bet. It's located inside of Black Dog Records, a record shop with 15,000 vinyl records. They even have a listening station with two record players that you can listen to all of the records. There are plenty of tables to sit at, and there are also outlets if you need to get some work done. Maggie May's Coffee also offers free Wi-Fi. As for the menu, they have plenty of options such as traditional espressos, lattés, drip coffee, loose leaf teas, and miscellaneous beverages (I've attached a photo in this review so you can see them all). They also have pastries available if you need a little bite to eat. I met James, the owner, and he gave us a grand tour of his new records store/coffee shop. He explained they've been officially open since Mid-April 2019, and they moved locations recently. I ordered the Iced Jasmine Green Tea for 3.00. James steeped it perfectly as it was not bitter. Halfway through my tea, James even steeped a second batch and refreshed my drink as he explained the ice will dilute the tea over time. This was a really nice move on his part. He explained how the loose leaf teas can be steeped multiple times as it's quite strong, and it's better to use it rather than just waste it. I really enjoyed my time at Maggie May's Coffee. It's located in a cool area of the Heights. There is plenty of parking available in their private lot shared with neighboring businesses. They have an outdoor patio with a "dog parking" area to tie up your fur baby if needed. They are definitely dog friendly at Black Dog Records! Although the strip of businesses have never looked too inviting before, Black Dog Records & Maggie May's Coffee is an amazing addition to the neighborhood. Welcome to the Heights! I can see myself being a frequent visitor with their quality ice teas during the hot summer months in Houston.

Black dog and Maggie May’s coffee dream team moved from Belaire to Heights 726 19th . Reasonably priced good selection, good conversation. Have some coffee buy a record, and enjoy
Really nice idea - coffee and records. Plus there is a fellow XTC fan that works there(sorry I don't recall his name but is automatically a cool person in my book). Pure awesomeness. Will be back soon to thoroughly browse.
Kind of a weird setup. The tables and visiting patrons make browsing record selections a bit awkward. Nice selection of records though. I didn't try the coffee but I will next time.
Super sweet staff. Walked in and fell in love coffee and music records!!. VERY NICE. Definitely coming back. Very clean and organized.
I went to this place on a whim to just check it out. As I walked in it was very obvious where all the genres were and it was very easy to find a few of my favorite artists. I was greeted by the owner's father who was standing in for the day. He was incredibly nice and it just worked out that we had a lot in common, both music and the industry we work in. They had some good music playing and the father was giving me suggestions on artists and albums and giving me some information on the different pressings (as I am a bit new to the vinyl scene). The prices were really good. I originally bought some albums off of amazon and this place had better prices than they did. Also if there is any issue with the record when you first open and play it they will try and make it right whereas it is a whole thing to ship the album back to amazon etc. That is a real perk to a brick and mortar place. There were a few other customers there and people were just kind of chatting and looking through albums. It was a very friendly environment and absolutely no rush or sales tactics involved. I ended up buying several albums because I'm building my collection and I felt I was getting a really fair price. They didn't have every album I was looking for but they still had a pretty wide collection. Most of the albums are in the classic rock genre which just happens to be my favorite so I was able to find several I wanted. I will definitely come back and purchase more albums. The only downside I could say is their location could be better. From what I understand they are looking at new spots though. Nothing bad but for their sake a nicer strip would be good, something with more foot traffic.
Great place to check out music from the past while enjoying some great tea. Awesome
Great selection of LPs and two listening stations to check out your possible purchases. Collocated with a coffee bar. I recommend the Nitro cold brew.
